2046

Summary: First off, I forgot who the director is but this is the third part of a trilogy that started with ‘In The Mood For Love’ that stars Bembol Roco, Pepe Pimentel, and Jean Saburit. Joke lang. Mainly, it is about a guy who still has some hang-ups from the first movie, of the trilogy, and he is trying to relive that life by living in room 2047 and it is just across room 2046, where he made uber-passionate love. So, in synopsis, I didn’t really understand the meaning of the story. I know it is a love story that is not linear and it resembles a lot of fucked-up relationship issues. Just like reality.

Why you have to watch it: As Asians are really hitting it big with the romance slash love story movies; this is a nice approach since it gives us a view of Hong Kong in a love story style. I like the part where they go sci-fi and that’s it.

Why not: I have to watch this again. I didn’t really get it the first time much like In Bruges and Burn After Reading. And it is a love story for Christ sakes. Yuck.

 

Rosetta

Summary: It is about a girl who is a teenager and is a worker and has a useless and drunk mom and she lives in a trailer.

Why you have to watch it: This is a Belgian (I’m quite sure this is shot in Belgium) movie that shows the life of a teenage lady who has no protection with labor laws. This movie started a new law named Rosetta law in Belgium (no, really!) This is more of a modern approach to survival.

Why not: She should’ve died at the end. I hated her with what she did to that guy. This is fucking depressing. Next!

 

L: Change The World

Summary: Follow L’s exploits after the first and second Death Note movies.

Why you have to watch it: If you are a fan of the Anime-manga series then you have to watch this.

Why not: If you are not a fan then don’t watch it. Dyosko, the plot is mababaw and I thought that the anti-hero counterpart is still alive, hindi na pala. Thank God he died in the end. And he’s kinda gay nga pala. Nag-ala Michael Jackson siya dun. He wubs little kids kasi. Especially that genius little boy, ftw for you L!

 

Hotel For Dogs

Summary: If you didn’t like the version of Emma Roberts’ Nancy Drew then you have to watch this. It is not about solving crimes and stuff. This is a movie regarding dogs that needs to be adopted and the kids created a home for those little cute and strange creatures. These dogs are so cute that you might want to dress them up in drag costumes and let them dance the Money Song ala Cabaret.

Why you have to watch it: If you enjoyed Marley and Me (I’m saying this to the point that you cried buckets when you watched that stupid movie. Who wants to watch a movie where a dog dies and you watch it and it will let you remember all the dogs that you owned in the past and imagine the hurt and the burden you’ll feel every time you think about those dead dogs and wishing that dog years would be the same as turtle years though we wouldn’t like that since there would probably be a dog overpopulation and it will just share the problems with nature causing global warming), yeah, watch this too.

Why not: If you are sick and tired of ‘awww’-ing in movie then you might want to wait for the next Marley and Me sequel where there’ll be having a dog genocide somewhere in Bermuda Triangle… though they won’t really die since that place is still a big mystery.

 

Being John Malkovich

Summary: It rocks to see a movie where you go literally inside a person and this is about it. You get to be inside John Malkovich and you’ll see here how two women conceive a baby.

Why you have to watch it: For the simple reason that this movie is so different and awesome that you really have to watch it. If you’re fond of the highly irregular ideas in movies (hello Eraserhead?) then you’d surely enjoy this type of movie. You get to enter a weird door. And when you enter it you literally would go to the person’s brain. I got to enjoy the acting of John Cusack, Cameron Diaz (believe me, you won’t notice her the first time you see her), and of course, John Malkovich. See it. Believe it. Enjoy it. It’s funny.

Why not: Naked body of John Malkovich? No thanks. (I can’t really remember if John made some nudee nudee in the film. Hooray.)
