DCRJ's Movie Reviews: THE BOURNE LEGACY (2012)

We just saw THE BOURNE LEGACY (2012) at Cinema 5, SM Mall of Asia Aug. 8, 2012 Wednesday. The film took place during the events of the 3rd Matt Damon film 'Bourne Ultimatum'. New character Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) is introduced. I was simply excited with the first half of the film knowing that the 2nd half was shot in the Philippines. Aaron Cross asking Dr. Shearing (Rachel Weisz) for the source of the blue pill that enhances his strength and the audience obviously got excited when Weisz blurted the words 'Manila, the Philippines'. Raw Manila, the Philippines highlights the motorcycle action sequences shot in random points in busy Manila streets (Leveriza St. Malate, Marikina, Tramo Pasay, Jones Bridge Sta Cruz, , EDSA Pasay rotunda, Ramon Magsaysay Highway, Navotas fishport, Palawan) which are sewed together to make one continuous sequence. Amusing Filipino extras with the famous 'P.I.' curses, the ever famous Jeepneys and an impressive performance by Filipino John Arcilla as a security guard gave the film a Pinoy touch. I find the character Aaron Cross spread too thin lacking the emotional moments that would make him a likable character and that's because of director Tony Gilroy's faulty script while Rachel Weisz brings the needed humanity in the film. Aaron Cross' hand-to-hand combat style seems ordinary and lacks the innovative martial arts skill of Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) perhaps the fault of the martial arts choreographer in Legacy. I love The Bourne Legacy because the film-makers placed the Philippines in the international radar but the story is very linear with no complexities avoiding a thinking man's film. The ending is lackluster and lacks a style and lacks the necessary build-up of characters and events to make the film a satisfying one. I heard a couple of boos from the audience including a boo from my son (lol) at the ending and I seem to agree with them which, sad to say, I miss Matt Damon more after watching 'Legacy'. My ratings: 2.5 out of 5 Biscuits !

DCRJ's Movie Reviews: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012)

We saw THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (2012) at a digital theater at SM MOA. The film is spectacular and crafty in this 3rd part of Christopher Nolan's said trilogy. The film is ambitious in production values and you can feel its awesomeness, epicness and grandeur. With that said, the film's plot sometimes gets lost in the mazes of morality issues, a signature element in all of Nolan's unique version of the Batman, the film is also devoid of humor and is too serious but it's a masterpiece of a watchable version of the Caped Crusdaer. Anne Hathaway's Catwoman is a delight. Tom Hardy's Bane is a great match-up to the Bat but the bare knuckles fight scenes could used some quickness technique ala Bruce Lee but what the heck they're Americans not Asians doing the American style of slow and boring boxing style. The twist at the end was a big surprise indeed and the end finale was a blast and the introduction of Robin, caught unaware by fans, was a thrill, his name is Blake not Dick Grayson so how could anyone guess he's the Boy Wonder? The Batman films has matured courtesy of Christopher Nolan. Looking forward hopefully more of Nolan's work in the future. My ratings: 4 out of 5 Biscuits

Recorded and uploaded to YouTube by DCRJ (Dan C Rivera Jr)
Kandidatong Pupol (1961) stars the classic tandem of Philippine comedies, Dolphy and Panchito. It tells the story of 4 candidates vying for the position of Town's Mayor. Dolphy of Partido Lagay, Panchito of Partido Bigay Nang Bigay, Patsy of Partido Mabuhay and Horacio Morelos of Partido Unang Sigaw. The film also stars Lilian Laing, Greg Martin and Jean Lopez. This is vintage Dolphy at its finest.

ZSA ZSA PADILLA Sings 'Through The Years' in Necrological Service for DOLPHY

Recorded and uploaded to YouTube by DCRJ (Dan C Rivera Jr)

Zsa Zsa Padilla sang a few lines from her favorite song 'Through The Years' at the necrological service for Dolphy, known to Filipinos belovingly as 'King of Comedy', who died at the age of 83 due to complications from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The song 'Through The Years' was perhaps meaningful to both Zsa Zsa Padilla and Dolphy, partners for 23 years, and the song sang by Ms. Zsa Zsa was heartfelt and touched most hearts of Filipinos, I for one was left teary-eyed during her singing of it. RIP Dolphy (July 25, 1928 - July 10, 2012), I grew up watching Buhay Artista and John en Marsha.
