Entries to the Movie Review Vault

Black Swan - Good, could have been great. 3 DREIs (could have been two if without the m scene, could have been four if it had a better ending)

Tron Legacy - Amazing visuals. Should have seen the first to "properly" enjoy the mythos. Saw it on IMAX 3D. Not much with storytelling but good replayability. 4 DREIs.

Sanctum - Edge of your seat suspense. Is it a disaster movie or an action movie? At least the pace was gripping in spite of a bad script and bad acting. Good popcorn movie but no replayability. 3 DREIs.

Mindflesh - A psycho-erotic thriller dealing with alternate realities laced with gore and weird sexual fantasies. In spite of that - HELL NO. 1 DREI.

Mulholland Drive - Probably one of the few rare movies na pinagisip muna ko ng matindi bago ko nagets. It turns out I may have still been wrong about the movie. I was thinking it was about the whole idea of your "life flashing before your eyes" in a singular moment. I may be wrong, I may be right. The thing about this movie is the director did not clarify anything and just let the viewers endlessly speculate. 3.5 DREIs.



1 - DREIs: "Avoid Like The Plague" Why did we watch this in the first place? (i.e. Bangkok Dangerous, The Hottie and the Nottie, Scorpion King 2, etc..)



2 - DREIs: "Shite" No need to see this movie unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. Movies with high expectations but falls short on almost everything. (i.e. Righteous Kill, Max Payne, The Island, etc..)


3 - DREIs: "Okay" Good movies that could have been better. Usually gets half good reviews, and the other half so-so. The experience will also depend also on who is watching. (i.e. Clone Wars Animated, Fast and the Furious, The Devil Wears Prada, etc..)


4 - DREIs: "Great" Almost all facets of the movie were masterfully done. Great in almost all aspects. (i.e. 300, Dark Knight, Transformers, Slumdog Millionaire, etc..)


5 - DREIs: "Revolutionary" It will change the entire concept of filmmaking and how films are made from this point on. It will serve as the new gauge for movies of the same genre. (i.e. The Matrix, LOTR, The Godfather, etc..)
