Movie Madness

I have been cinema-hopping for the last two weeks...though much of what I watched were Tagalog, and some I truly regret watching.

When Love Begins
starring: Aga Muhlach and Anne Curtis

*You wouldn't even guess it was produced from Star Cinema. I have watched most movies of Star Cinema and most of it is really entertaining and of good quality. This movie was really a disappointment. The plot and twist were too dense, and the dialogues thrown at each other too raw. Even the shots taken for the major stars - when Anne speaks, camera zooms in at her face, when Aga speaks, camera zooms in at his face...and it was just like that the whole time. You wouldn't feel the chemistry between the two. The moviegoers who were interviewed by ABS were right though, Anne was sexy and hot, and Aga was cute --- and that's basically it. No comment was given with regards to the movie as a whole. Why? Because there was nothing so fascinating about the movie. I even slept for around twenty minutes and woke up still feeling bored. The movie was too dragging. An ABS insider even told me it was really done in a rush so that iot would be finished by the time Ploning will be shown in cinemas. So that's what you get for doing something just so you could say you have done something.
Rating: Half-star out of five

Ploning
starring: Judy Ann Santos, Gina Pareno and Mylene Dizon

This movie is great. Great cinematography and lighting, plus the music background that will make you really feel that you have been to another era. The plot was ok, too. Not much of the love-story plot that Judy Ann will always do to make people watch. It was a great movie even without the presence of big stars or a hot loveteam. One tip though, dont start watching in the middle of the movie, you wouldn't get to put it al together you would still have to watch it again from the beginning. So if the movie starts at 7:20 and you are already at the mall by 6:30, take time to dine, shop, call home, text friends, buy some baon and just be there minutes before 7:20. Nice movie and proudly done by Pinoys.
Rating: three-and-a-half stars out of five

What Happens in Vegas
starring: Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher

Very entertaining. It may seem shallow but at least I got what I wanted, which was to be entertained. Not for kids, though, there are some scenes really gross, but super hilarious. Cameron and Ashton looks good together, too. I'll be recommending this for those looking for purely entertainment.

The Hottie and the Nottie
starring: Paris Hilton and Joel Moore

I am guilty of not even remembering the name of the other girl that co-starred with Paris Hilton. I watched it on DVD, so you do something else when the credits are shown, or you just press the FF button. This movie is so dense and shallow and gross. Just like how my favorite inaanak, Ian, would say it, "Yuck, diweee!" There are some scenes which are utterly gross, and the look on Joel Moore's face makes it all the more kadiwee. It's just a typical Paris Hilton movie (yeah, like what else do you expect?), too dense and shallow. Of course, it isn't a quality movie compared to Ploning and not as entertaining as What Happens in Vegas, so don't watch it if you have other, better things to do.
