Review: Nacho Libre
at long last.. i got to see
Nacho Libre...
well i wasn't disappointed to tell you the truth.. if you loved
School of Rock.. you'll surely love Nacho...
once again Jack Black works with kids, this time as a wrestler-wannabe friar... there are no big stars here (except Black of course) which i think helps the movie since you get to focus more on the acting and the "other" stuff... like its cinematography...
if you love lomography or photography for that matter.. you'll love the movie's cinematography... its so crisp and every scene reminds you of a beautiful photograph you've seen somewhere...
...Jack Black is in his usual great acting self even belting some tunes reminiscent of School of Rock... even his partner Hector Jimenez (Esqueleto) - the thin guy running away from the bees, was very funny as well... watch out for him to hit more movies soon...
and of course the lovely Ana De La Reguera (Sister Encarnacion)... her acting seems effortless and so true... her role as a nun was perfect for her... like Hector, she'll hit the big time soon too i predict...
overall, when i first stepped in the theatre, i thought this was just another funny Jack Black movie, but it was more... the scenes with the kids were touching.. i particularly like scenes where Jack lost his supposed big break to at long last win enough money to make the kids (orphans) happy.. "to take them into field trips" and stuff... it was moved by the scene... which is great.. if movies do that to you.. its a sign that its a great movie....
well.. if you've got nothing to do this weekend, heck.. tonight.. go and watch the movie... if you have kids, bring them with you, if you have friends, bring them too.. its a nice find... the tickets may not be "Libre" but hey... its worth it!!

Nachos
...its the first day of showing of Jack Black's new film "Nacho Libre"... if i play my cards right... i'll be seeing it tonight... hopefully i can put up a review by tomorrow...
later! :)
a three-peat? (Pirates of the Carribean 2: Dead Man's Chest)
arrrrrrr..
...supporters of captain jack gather round...
i've recently seen the 2nd installment of Captain Jack's movie, the "Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest"...
actually i've waited for this more than "Superman Returns".. well i've been a fan of Mr. Willy Wonka since 21 jump st. and Ms. Keira Knightley (since she looked a lot like Natalie Portman in my mind...) since the 1st Pirates and of course who can forget Mr. Legolas ...
on to the review...
well in the immortal words of a pirate... "arrrrr.. its darn good!!" i wasnt disappointed with how the movie turned out... even though part 2 seems like an introduction only to the part 3 of the series.. heck.. everybody loved the LOTR, Matrix and StarWars saga anyways...
as usual it was superb acting from Mr. Depp... his patented "savvy" and funny lines bring life to his character... Mr. Bloom, well on the otherhand is in his usual Legolas self: the leading man type of role or "superhero" role if you will.. in my country.. its more like "bida" power... hihi...
Ms. Knightley also lived up to her role as Bloom's love interest or should i say the Captain's... o well you should watch the movie to learn more on that... :)
the supporting cast also did not disappoint...
overall.. the effects, the dialogues, the funny lines, the editing, the costumes... i like it.. its not overdone or trying too hard, ..just enough to please moview goers and deliver the message... or should i say the story... small twists also gave the series a lot of things to anticipate...
i dont want to give away too much of the story so you'll have to watch the movie yourself to see and experience what im talking about...
... be part of box office history...
