ok okey, back to business..i myself have been in some trance state of watching/catching a movie..at least one before my sleep so yea, ive been doing some catching up guys..watching exceptional past blockbusters & yes, im a little bit outdated in that area but same same too, i did watch some new movies..well recently released movies and they were great! fantastico..some i must say were least as what i expected but others were awesome! beyond words kind..
first up, i gotta say, i did enjoy watching "Bridge to Terabithia" and lets put it altogether as is in the same genre, "Pan's Labyrinth". thats 2 though but anyhow, yes..i enjoyed myself..bridge to terabithia is a fantasy flick taken from a novel writen by Katherine Paterson and was directed by director Gabor Csupo, you might remember him from shows like the rugrats & sereval episodes of the simpsons..yeap, a cartoon director..haha, explains the flick? so yea, bridge to terabithia is flimed all over new zealand & it tells a story of a young boy, Jesse Aarons (Josh Hutcherson), a shy but aspiring boy living in a not-so-well-to-do family trying to be the fastest boy in his school as he trained all summer. came race day, he was joined by his other classmates and this new girl, Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) *doesnt she resembles actress Kiera Knightley at a certain angle, well..a younger version, hehehe, happy-nya* whom eventually won the race. rough start for those two but came to each understanding later on as both learn something out of each other; Jesse's skilled art and Leslie's talent of telling fantasy stories thus creating a magical kingdom to call their own, terabithia in the woods behind their houses. back in the 'real' world, they delt with normal problems of bullies and crushes but then came one day when a tragedy hits one of them unexpectedly. guilt came pouring in but friendship prevailed thus keeping the world of terabithia alive! the power of one's imagination! keng-keng wei!
Pan's Labyrinth/El laberinto del fauno is somewhat similiar but it takes a more gruesom, sick, almost saddist turn of a typical fantasy flick! also another chun movie, directed by Guillermo del Toro (Blade II, Hellboy, Hellboy 2, Bable, etc.), its spoken/told in spannish. *this flim did got its fair share of awards last year ++ this year too* set during the post-Civil War Spain in 1944, it tells a story of a young girl Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) who is obserted in her fairy tales who travels to the countryside with her pregnant mother Carmen (Ariadna Gil) to meet ofelia's stepfather Cpt. Vidal (Sergi Lopez) whom is more a less can be said a fascist devotee, keeps grudges from his past and release them out on his 'enemies', the republican rebals. as the story continues, ofelia begun to witness strange happenings and characters that lead her to a labyrith in the later quarter, first time she was stopped by Mercedes (Maribel Verdu) where she met the fictional Pan, a faun, guardian of the labyrinth (Doug Jones) who reconised ofelia as the long-lost Princess Moanna. ofelia was then given three task to be completed before she can return to her throne beneth the grounds of the labyrinth! there were few scenes that was really sickenning but overall, it was all good! both flicks features amazing, graphically endowned skill packed alltogether in the creation of the fantasy creatures in both films! amazing-ness! : )
last but not least, 300 directed by Zach Snyder adapted from a self titled graphic novel & another movie, the 300 spartans for the purposes of reanimating the Battle of Thermopylae between the spartans and the persians! not much to say here, the reviews and the gold stars collected from various media presses and websites say for themselves! all i can say after watching 300..the dvd version..meaning the uncut version is so darn magical to watch! hahaha, yea..just watch that flick if one hasnt..that 10 bucks you spend on the dvd..ahehlea, fake one? : P or the movie tickets wont go to waste..actually, it should be more come to look at it! anyways, just watch that movie, no regrets!
kudoz!
