DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: Knight and Day (2010), You To Me Are Everything (2010) and Wapakman (2009)

We saw KNIGHT AND DAY (2010) in a cinema at the SM Mall of Asia, June 25, 2010. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz truly has wonderful chemistry together on film but somehow lacks a certain spark to perfect it which I blame it on the script. The film could have been better than the Michael Douglas and Katherine Turner film 'Romancing The Stone' which I found similarities to this 1984 film. Although Knight and Day is highly entertaining with lots of action that ignites the screen but the obvious CGI effects warrants, in my case, unsuspension of disbelief. The movie could have been so much more. My ratings: 3 out of 5 Biscuits !

I just saw YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING (2010). Another boy-meets-girl, boy-hates-girl then boy-falls-in-love-with-girl labeled with a catchy tune for a title, a proven formulaic strategy by producers coupled with the country's top stars. Simple and sweet story about a girl, Iska (Marian Rivera), who became an instant rich girl from Benguet province and a rich guy, Rafael (Dingdong Dantes) whose luck became a mishap thus losing everything. Rafael became Iska's business adviser and uses her to gain back everything he loses only to find out that she'll change him more than he expected. Production values isn't epic and expensive, the film is suitable for a B-movie but the chemistry between Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes is magical, 100 % priceless. My ratings 4.5 out of 5 Biscuits !

I just saw WAPAKMAN (2009). I was expecting this Topel Lee's movie to be at par with Hollywood standards plus the fact it's a Manny Pacquiao movie, Manny Pacquiao is my boxing idol. But I was ghastly disappointed. Not only Manny Pacquiao's spandex suit looks silly the whole movie is half-baked or half-cooked. The editing is terrible making the film in disarray, boring and uninteresting. The CGI effects are too cartoony and the gags are lame. No wonder this film got snubbed by critics and at the 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival. My ratings: 0.5 out of 5 Biscuits !
