I watch the movie to see the setting of the movie (Cuyo Island), maganda raw kasi...I wasn't disapointed, maganda nga. OK mag photo ops. I love the rocks, the sea and the sky.
I am giving this movie a perfect score. It's been so long since last time that I saw a good Filipino movie and I must say its one of the best. It's a story of a woman and a child. Very touching story pero hindi puro iyakan.
Great casting, bagay sila sa mga roles. Di masyadong OA si JudyAnn sa role nya. Medyo nakulangan lang ako dun sa bidang lalaki, may mga bitiw ng lines na hindi masyadong convincing. Nice kasi di rin masadong mushy/ at di puro hagulgulan ang storyline... everything is just right! The setting and cinematography is also good.
This is not another typical Filipino storyline. Ayoko munang masyadong magcomment since I might end giving spoilers for those who haven't seen the movie yet.
Cornie na kung cornie, but give a Filipino movie a chance.
Watch it! And watch it with someone na hindi masyado madaldal sa loob ng movie house since you need to read sub-tittle sometimes else, try to see it alone.
The movie is really good and the setting is really nice, I hope I could come to Cuyo sometime.

Got a chance to watch this movie last Sunday, Dec2 (w/ Alex and Dodang), SM Megamall. LFS.
Rating: 3 1/2 stars
-------------------------
This is not a ‘think who the killer is’ or ‘what will happen next’ movie. The story is very whimsical that you and your children will surely enjoy. A feel good movie and there’s a moral lesson to reflect on.
This is the only family film that I can recall whose lead character muses out loud about the finality of death in language that wouldn’t be out of place in a college Literary Course, a Shakespeare matter.
An embodiment of the unfettered imagination, it is a place where every item, from the adorable stuffed animals to the self-propelling tops, is alive and kicking, swooping, swirling and spinning. When a customer requests an item, a clerk consults a giant alphabetized book of inventory, and on the appropriate page, a whole little world pops out. One of the store’s most heartening qualities is its dearth of war toys and sexy dolls. Mr. Magorium’s signature plaything is a paper glider that, once deployed, keeps sailing around the room.

As I watch this movie, I want to be a child again.

It's Wednesday, I was waiting for this movie since last month. Seems that no one wants to go with me to watch movie since its a weekday. I tagged by officemate/friend, Rap to go with me to Glorieta, atlast he agreed (hell yeah, after promising to treat him for movie!). I had my haircut first at Fix Bench Hair Salon and meet him after. We had our dinner at Food Choices and at 8:15pm the movie starts.

My Review
Genre: Suspense/ Thriller
I'll give 4 1/2 stars for this movie (almost perfect).

I enjoyed so much watching the movie as I am a fan of suspense/ thriller movies and this one exceeds my expectation. I love the combination of hunting, running, and mind bugling scenes on this movie. At first, you'll feel like its a very cheesy movie or a typical teenage movie that it will be very predictable. As the storyline of this movie moves, you'll just realize that you're like taking a one hell of a ride.
Few scene of the movie reminds me of another movie Girl Next Door, specially the peeking on the binoculars to his sexy neighbor (ooops!).
Lead role Shia LaBeof (Kale in this movie/ Sam Witwicky in the movie The Transformers), plays well on his role. David Morse is very effective on this movie who played Mr Turner. Sarah Roemer (Ashley) is really a hot oozing chick and the reason why I gave a very high rating on this film...hahaha! Btw, she look like like a younger Kate Hudson but I fantasize Megan Fox more. lol.. ohh, lucky Shia!
I highly recommend this movie and watch it with your friends, barkadas, with your partner and hear them screams, as I hear Rap..hahah peace Rap!

It's not all about the gore or blood factor, it actually has some soul into it, though not a lot. It has a few funny scenes and couple of thrilling moments. Not a very original but better and not entirely predictable than most of the teen horror/thrillers recently.

Ooppps, I almost forgot, I suggest you watching this in the movie house or in a good sound system. Pirated copy decreases the sound audio and video quality... you know that.

This 'Bourne' Trilogy has already taken us on a very long chase as Jason Bourne continue seing for the answer to the question: "Who Am I"

The movie is still action packed from beginning to end as the hero, an assassin with amnesia who never has a handy quip, unlike some spies we could name, but has the hero's knack for thinking faster than anyone else.

This movie keeps my eye on screen and bring my adrenaline to the rush. Matt Damon beats Bruce Willis' Die Hard 4.0 when it comes to the one on one fight scene. I like the chasing and the jumping on the roofs to the windows scenes! Astig!

The Bourne Ultimatum shows that a great action movie need not be mindless and only about action, fights and stunts. Kudos to the team and staff of the movie for making me feel satisfty with the movie.. a goodway to break a long weekend.

Oh, by the way, i love Julia Stiles on this movie! ;)
