Paano na kaya (2010)
It was pretty alright
The storyline wasn't as creative as I thought it could have. But I feel that this movie did what any Asian drama is suppose to bring. It brought the sad, happy, funny, shock, hope, growth and love. Is this movie an award winning film? I wouldn't say so. But if you want to watch this movie like you would with any Filipino movie brought to the US, then it's a pretty alright one to watch. That's what I like about Asian movies, they capture what love should be, and not the lustful scenes that you find in American films.
Overall I would give this movie a 6.6, but being a little biased I'd round it to a 7 since I liked the actors to begin with.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
Not that great, but better than the first
Okay, first off, I will admit I have read the book. Like most books made into films, the books are usually better. I will not deny that this movie is also another one that was best left on print.
I have read many reviews made on this film, and most say it was just horrible. Some even said it was worse than Twilight. That's where I disagree. New Moon actually followed the book even more than Twilight. Honestly, the first movie seemed boring to me compared to New Moon. New Moon had action, CGI was okay, and it had actual laughable humor (which the first movie lacked). There is still however some things that could have been improved in New Moon; I cannot deny that.
There were some things that I did not like in this movie. Firstly, Bella's screams. When she screamed from nightmares, I thought it was overly done. It sounded like she was giving birth or something. Edward looked like he was going to cry when he was about to break up with Bella. In the book, he's suppose to be believable and seemed to really not want to be with Bella anymore. Jacob is to be more frightening, and the list goes on. I think the actors should actually look up into the book and see how the story went out. If they really want to be believable, appeal to the fans, and know how things are suppose to be acted out, they should do some homework.
I am not a crazy fan of the saga, but it is pretty good. People remember that this movie isn't going to be exactly how YOU imagined it upon reading the book. So expect to find cons. Overall, I think this movie was ALRIGHT, and it holds my attention to look forward to how Eclipse would turn out.
