Neverland? More like Mowelfund :)

So we had a tour last September 30, 2013 at MowelFund. Mowelfund is a place where they put the props of the majestic movie have been created before and you can learn a lot of things about movies there. It was awesome because it was like you time travel and see the stuffs they used when they create movies.

When I got there and entered the place I saw a mini statue of FPJ (Fernando Poe Jr.) wearing his costume of Panday with a sword and some pictures of old directors who created a beautiful movies. Then, we watch a short film about bananas that was created of their student. Mowelfund has a mini school for an aspiring directors. And then, the formal tour begin. We entered a small movie room, more like cinema place, and on the right corner there's a door that will lead you to a different place where the props are located.

The props were real. I saw the sword that was used in Panday and it is soo heavy. Then the costume of darna was for sexy women only, I thought it was for a child but no, only women who possessed hot body can wear it. The head of Valentina was scary then the monster they used for their horror movies were gigantic and creepy. I can't remember most of the stuff that I saw but there's one thing that surely made a spot in my brain, The Statue of Machete. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The statue has a penis and it makes me rolling on the floor laughing. I will surely not gonna forget that. And at the end of the tour there's a garden that have a paper statue of celebrities but most of them are from GMA :)

The experience was awesome. I had a great time on that day. I hope one day when I reach dream, I will be there but in the picture titled "one of the best directors."

Ghostbusters or Men In Black?

A hotshot detective who was killed in the line of duty joins a supernatural police force that protects the living from the malevolent souls who have escaped judgment in this adaptation of the popular Dark Horse comic book. Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) was a cop with a reputation for getting a results when he was brutally gunned down during a violent raid. The next thing Nick knew, he was sitting in the headquarters of the Rest in Peace Department -- a supernatural police force tasked with arresting lost souls who are hiding out on Earth. His new partner Roy Pulsifer (Jeff Bridges) is a veteran sheriff with a knack for spotting a fugitive soul in disguise. Now Roy and Nick are about to face a menace that threatens to upset the ethereal balance between the physical world and the supernatural realm, and should they fail in maintaining that balance Earth will be flooded with a wave of very angry -- and very powerful -- lost souls. Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, and Stephanie Szostak co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Full of action and Sci-fi will be see in this movie. The cinematic of the movie was great. The monsters was like real and the camera angle really catches the attention of the audience and very breath-taking. 

More on running so many dolly movements should be expected in this movie. The Characters were portrayed very well and the actors fits with their roles.

The story is not original. The concept and the story line is like Ghostbusters with Men in Black.

The setting of the Department was like from Men in Black. Very much alike office of both movie and the characters were like it too and the way they operate. Ghostbusters monster jail was imitated too. But for me this movie is still good. I like the story, cinematic and the concept of how people will see them. If you can't get my point just watch the movie please and always remember, Do not Judge the book by its cover :)

A History Of Violence

The story centres on a midwife, Anna who tends to a pregnant 14-year-old Russian prostitute. The girl dies giving birth to a daughter but leaves a diary that inculpates in her death the Russian gang boss Semyon, a member of the notorious Vory V Zakone criminal brotherhood. Anna, whose late father was a Russian émigré, courageously investigates and meets the paternal Semyon, owner of an opulent restaurant, the Trans-Siberia, near Smithfield Market. She becomes involved with his violent, drunken, sex-trafficking son Kirill, and the family's chauffeur and enforcer Nikolai. An impassive, quietly spoken man, Nikolai hides behind wrap-around dark glasses and brings to mind Churchill's remark that Russia resembles 'a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma'. It's Christmas week, which in serious movies is a time of stress and irony where goodwill towards men battles with bitterness and malevolence.

First, there is the matter of blood as reality and metaphor. The movie opens with a man having his throat cut in a barber's chair, which is followed by the pregnant prostitute leaving a pool of blood on a chemist's floor and then having a Caesarean in hospital. Another throat-cutting takes place in broad daylight as the victim urinates over a gravestone on his way home from a football stadium. The film's unforgettable climax sees two knife-wielding Chechen criminals in black leather attacking the naked Nikolai in Ironmonger Row municipal steam baths, turning the place into an abattoir as the other bathers run for their lives. It's a challenging scene for Mortensen, infinitely more difficult to play than the naked wrestling match in Women in Love. This leads to a key line in the movie about poetic justice residing in a sample of blood when a DNA test can prove crucial in changing lives and bringing about justice.

Eastern Promises is an exciting story about hypocrisy, decency and different kinds of honour, and about the dark underside of globalisation and multiculturalism. By the excellence of the acting and Cronenberg's attention to detail. It's a chilling, discomfiting picture, and there's a particularly frightening moment when Mueller-Stahl, the brutal patriarch, leaves Anna with the baby in hospital.

I really can't understand the Ending...

Sucker Punch is one of the good all-female lead cast movie. Directed by Zack Snyder. A story of a young girl institutionalized by her abusive stepfather. Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which help her escape.

The Actresses are good. Hot girls with a big gun are on action. They are all look fierce except from Baby doll because she always look like helpless but she is the most stronger in the five. The movie is like 5 vs the world. There are two scenes in the movie. One is the reality, which takes place in mental hospital, and the other one is in Fantasy, which takes place in the head of baby doll but she is imagining that they are in the battle field fighting for the right and freedom.

I never understand the ending of the story, When I watched it in the Cinema, I was like how come she's in the chair and why she is smiling? But when I watched the uncut version I've seen there that she was bought by the rich man but she ended up going back at the mental hospital but it's just the same because she is smiling and the owner of the Mental Hospital is still angry with him. Can someone explained it to me? LOL

Directed by Gary Gross. Shown last 2012. Starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen.
Katniss Everdeen voluntarily takes her younger sister's place in the Hunger Games, a televised fight to the death in which two teenagers from each of the twelve Districts of Panem are chosen at random to compete.

This movie is super action and drama. Very much Dolly scenes. The story is good but if you read the book you will know how Katniss survived the game because in the movie only few parts of Suffering of Katniss Everdeen is shown they focused on killing and other unnecessary stuff that was not in the book but it was awesome though.

The Characters did a good job but some special characters were not shown and didn't give enough exposure on the movie like Glimmer, and Kato. They just exposed Rue, the black girl from District 11. But the characters of Katniss and Peeta were shown good and their story is the same as in the book.

The setting of the movie was like the setting in my mind while i'm reading but they gave more colour to it. The Special Effects of the two monster in game finale fail. It really looks like a computerize tigers or dogs or I don't know. I was like "whoa, What happened to the special effects?!" 

The overall is good. Pretty good story. I wish they'd shown what Katniss Really do while surviving and how she and rue escaped from the other district tributes. I am hoping in the Catching Fire that they will give a good special effects especially on the part where a bunch of flesh eating monkey attacked them. I am looking forward on it.

Independent

Because of those Awesome Directors  Independent Film began. They have a lot of budget doing those Independent Film Making.  Many Independent Film became Blockbuster in Hollywood because most of the Directors knows what the public wants and what kind of story they will enjoy.

Example of the best independent film are:

One of the scariest film ever and this is the first exorcist movie that created. It was Directed by William Friedkin. It was shown 1973 starring Linda Blair as Regan Macneil, the girl who got possessed.

When I watched this movie, In the beginning it was very very boring but when the demon start possessing the girl it made me jumped and scares me the whole week. The face of Regan while being possessed haunt me the whole week. So if you want a Scariest Horror movie of all time. I recommend you to watch this.

Next is...

Directed by one of the best directer, Steven Spielberg. Shown on my Birth year, 1993.
During a preview tour, a theme park suffers a major power breakdown that allows its cloned dinosaur exhibits to run amok.

This Movie is the first Dinosaur movie, I guess. HAHA! Not sure but this is movie good. A little bit scary and very very thriller. It created a good feedback from the audience that's why Steven made a sequel of this movie.

Last is..

Directed by Roland Emmerich and shown in 1998.
A enormous, radioactively mutated lizard runs rampant on the island of Manhattan.

Godzilla is originally made in Japan but did a version in Hollywood. Hollywood is good in making their own version. I like the Version of Hollywood because of its special effects and the effect of the actors in audience.

The Star Studio System

The studio system of the Hollywood before was very exclusive. Directors, actors, actresses, producers, and writers have a contract to a specific studio. If they created a contract to the studio they are not allowed to create films on the other studios. They have to follow the rules of the studio if they signed the contract.

The Star System of the Hollywood before was very strict. The Hollywood before reached it's international fame so they have to train new actors and actresses. Stars are very disciplined. They way they talk, the looks, their appearance and how they act were highly trained. If they have an issue or scandal, producers will automatically kill it. They will pay the Paparazzi just to stop the issue.

Unlike today, you will see the same directors in different studios. As far as I know the Director of Titanic made a movie in 21st century fox then his latest movie, Avatar, was under the Universal Studios. The Stars today are always in News. Their Scandal and Issues are always trending and you will see the same star in different studios and others were not highly trained in acting.

Philippine Studios and star system before was just like the same in Hollywood. If the Directors and other staffs have a contract to a studio they cannot make a film in other studios. Same as the stars.
