The movie industry of the Philippines has always been troubled since Hollywood films keep on taking up the lions share of the market. Since we can’t match the graphics and effects of Hollywood films, most of the local movies turn to dramas and comedies. However, we’ve seen long strides in Philippine cinema effects in the [...]
It’s been a while since I last watched a good movie on the big screen! On November 14, I’ll go to the movie house again to watch Beowulf, which was directed by Robert Zemeckis.

It will be interesting to see Tobey throw away the Spidey costume and suit up as a mecha pilot when he plays Rick Hunter or maybe Roy Fokker. To those who [...]

Chris Nolan and Christopher Bale defied all odds when they launched Batman Begins a few years ago. The movie did surprisingly well and I was really impressed with how they were [...]
