it's been a while

for the past week nag movie marathon ako since i recently discovered Video City Katipunan. 16 pesos per movie! VCD lang nga cya, but it's better than nothing.

And here we have it, Charmaine's Bite Size Movie Reviews:

1. Forrest Gump (starring Tom Hanks)- At first it doesn't seem like anything special, but the ending is what makes the movie bittersweet. Kind of gives you a new perspective on people in general.
2. Alex & Emma (starring Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson) - Your regular romantic comedy fare. Luke Wilson plays a novelist, while Kate Hudson is the stenographer he hired to type his novel. So throughout the movie, there are bits of the novel inserted in it. So it's kind of like a movie IN a movie. Fun stuff.
3. The Dust Factory (starring Hayden Panetierre)- This must be one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen. Not that it's bad, though, it's not. It's just hard to understand. Somewhere near the end you might get what it's saying, but it's still a big blur, mostly. Watch this if you want to get a headache (joke lang :P). Also,
   
4. Big Fish (starring Ewan McGreror and Billy Crudup, directed by Tim Burton) - This is my new favorite movie. No, seriously. There's this guy whose dad has been telling tall tales all his life. And throughout the movie, we get to know the stories the father tells about his life. So, well, I kind of just butchered it up right there. It's hard to describe. It's the kind of movie where you have to watch it to understand.
5. The Perfect Score (starring Scarlett Johannson and Chris Evans) - This is sort of an Ocean's Eleven movie, except with teenagers. They attempt to steal the answers to the SATs (their version of our NCAE except that theirs aren't as useless). It's not as good as Ocean's Eleven but it's okay...
6. Lovewrecked (starring Amanda Bynes) - Your typical girly movie, and since Amanda Bynes isn't your typical teen star, well, she does pretty well in this movie. It's a unique plot, in my opinion, completely different from what we usually see because in this movie, Amanda and this rock star become castaways. And well, the trouble ensues and of course, you know, in the end, she always lives happily ever after.

More coming soon! Marami pa akong movies na hiniram pero di napapanood :D
