Nightmare on Elm Street - Now on Cinemas

Synopsis:
Nancy, Kris, Quentin, Jesse and Dean all live on Elm Street. At night, they're all having the same dream—of the same man, wearing a tattered red and green striped sweater, a beaten fedora half-concealing a disfigured face and a gardener's glove with knives for fingers. And they're all hearing the same frightening voice...


One by one, he terrorizes them within the curved walls of their dreams, where the rules are his, and the only way out is to wake up. But when one of their number dies a violent death, they soon realize that what happens in their dreams happens for real, and the only way to stay alive is to stay awake. Turning to each other, the four surviving friends try to uncover how they became part of this dark fairytale, hunted by this dark man.

Functioning on little to no sleep, they struggle to understand why them, why now, and what their parents aren't telling them. Buried in their past is a debt that has just come due, and to save themselves, they will have to plunge themselves into the mind of the most twisted nightmare of all... Freddy Krueger.


Well, I haven't watched the original Nightmare on Elm Street but news from the Net the original is better.

The remake does give that shock to everyone who would watch it at the point where you're most likely to be off-guard, but it's not really the kind of a horror movie that will keep you terrified for long or give you that fear-factor notable horror movies have (The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc.).

The plot is rather predictable. I mean you can point out who will die next, what will happen to this guy, what the ending will be and you'll say to yourself, "I knew it!".

Overall, if you like to have a bit of a scare on your day then give it a try for P150.

June 24, 2009 -  Once again one of the most anticipated movies of this year hits the big screen! The Transformers dominated the Philippine shores as they return with a sequel that you shouldn’t want to miss!

I had invited my barkada to watch Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen at Trinoma yesterday and we had a blast! too bad some of my friends can’t come. And just as I expected, every Cinema on the Mall is all Transformers 2! Luckily we got there @ 12:30 so that we won’t compete with the massive movie mob and Transformers fans, even that at that time the line was pretty long.

The movie lasts for 150mins. (an hour and thirty minutes) and the ticket price costs for P170 (about $3.50), well to tell you the truth I’m not a Transformers fanatic (I haven’t watched the first Transformers movie yet, only on HBO I had) but nonetheless the P170 is worth it (well, because my friend will pay for half the price of our tickets =) )

 

Pure Solid, Action backed-up with outstanding Special Effects… Upon watching the movie I’m now a fan of Michael Bay and ILM’s visual effects wizardry. Stunning Effects of the Autobots and the Decepticons knocks you off your feet especially at the fight scene at the climax when the two forces clash and wage war on one another.

 

To sum it up: Transformers 2 is the right movie for any age, and I bet that this movie is a hard one to beat  with It’s futuristic effects on high (I’m still waiting for Harry Potter 6 though). I recommend watching it with the gang just like what I did! and let Michael Bay amaze you with his masterpiece. ^^

Drag Me To Hell - Now on Cinemas!

Christine Brown has a good job, a great boyfriend, and a bright future. But in three days, she's going to hell.

 

Sounds like the title is a bit confusing but no don’t drag me to hell yet! because  you might want to watch the new movie “Drag Me to Hell” now on Cinemas this June! With a lot of twists and turns on the movie, this one will knock your pants off!

 

Starring: Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver, Dileep Rao.

Director: Sam Raimi

 

SYNOPSIS:

Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is an ambitious loan officer with a  boyfriend and a Professor Clay Dalton (Justin Long). Life is good until the mysterious Mrs. Ganush (Lorna Raver) arrives at the bank to beg for an extension on her home loan. Should Christine follow her instincts and give the old woman a break? Or should she deny the extension to impress her boss, Mr. Jacks (David Paymer), and get a leg-up on a promotion? Christine fatefully chooses the latter, shaming Mrs. Ganush and dispossessing her of her home.

 

In retaliation, the old woman places the powerful curse of the Lamia on Christine, transforming her life into a living hell. Haunted by an evil spirit and misunderstood by a skeptical boyfriend, she seeks the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao) to save her soul from eternal damnation. To help the shattered Christine return her life to normal, the psychic sets her on a frantic course to reverse the spell. As evil forces close in, Christine must face the unthinkable: how far will she go to break free of the curse? --© Universal Pictures.

 

 

The movie is based on Greek Mythology. The Lamia was a Queen of Libya who became a Child-murdering Demon and distinguished as half-woman half-serpent, her name comes from the Greek word ‘lamios’ which means “gullet” since she devoured human children.

I watched the movie by myself (I admit I thought twice if I’m going to watch it alone but nevertheless xD) the movie is quite horrific and utterly brilliant, but not as I expected. It’s not a straight-horror movie but a horror-comedy one, it’s a mix of Suspense/horror with  a pinch of comedy to fill in the gaps.

 

Haven’t decided yet if you want to watch it or not? Why not watch the trailer!

The cinema was crowded by many fans waiting for their Idol to show on the screen and the fact that everyone agrees with me as they, too ,laugh at the Mega Star and the Comedy Queen every time they crack a joke. The Mega Star - Comedy Queen tandem? Priceless, unbeatable and down right funny . It was a certified Blockbuster hit in just a few days after its premiere and is being watched at 100 cinemas all over the country. HAVE YOU WATCHED SOME MOVIE LATELY? TELL US IN COMMENTS
