DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS in Snippets (March 1, 2010 to March 3, 2010)

I just finished watching FROM PARIS WITH LOVE (2010) starring an energetic John Travolta and boring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, It's another buddy cop movie (they're CIA operatives actually) done in the likes of Rush Hour and 48 Hours. All gunfire without any real substance. This movie doesn't require a high IQ, just bring on the popcorn and softdrinks and let the ride takes its course. Easily forgettable movie you'll just wish you never saw it in the first place or wish John Woo should have done this flick. My ratings: 2.5 out of 5 Biscuits !

I just finished watching NINJA ASSASSINS (2009). Rain reigns. Korean pop superstar RAIN (seen in GMA-7's Koreanovela 'Full House') shines as the newest action star to debut in Hollywood with bloody spurts (although his SPEED RACER stint was a shame) . Bloody graphic violence glorified and magnified three times and done in video gaming style made the film bloody entertaining with an adrenaline rush. My ratings: 5 out of 5 Biscuits ! Not for the faint of heart. I wonder if Richard Gutierrez could keep up with Rain's Hollywood charisma.

I just finished watching IT'S COMPLICATED (2009). A nice light-hearted comedy with a dose of light drama brought about by the fine cast which includes the adorable Meryl Streep, surprisingly warm-hearted performance by Alec 'Philippine Mail-Order Bride' Baldwin and first-time-I-saw-him-act-seriously Steve Martin. Divorced couple on renewed romance. My ratings: 4 out of 5 Biscuits !
