I'll rate the movie a 2.3
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0974661/
Fantasy movie about a person that turns 17 again... Not bad. I smiled throughout the movie about high school life. Really appealing and fun to watch. Some parts are just not that believable but the story was enjoyable. I saw this in the moviehaus, and the movie didn't take advantage of being inside the movies... not like Fast and The Furious. More like a fun movie to watch. Must see on DVD, but funny enough for the movies.

DragonBall Evolutions :(
I'll rate this a 1.6
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1098327/
If you're curious, wait for a bootleg, then borrow the bootleg. Make sure you have something to do while watching the movie. Seriously, the movie is missing something, that even though I am a DragonBall fan. Fox (I thought Warner Brothers had the rights to DragonBall in the US) just took elements of Akira Toriyama's DragonBall and mixed them together to a different storyline. If you know the anime, you'll know what elements that I'm talking about. The graphics was not like the anime either... this movie is missing the AWE element - and to think I went to the movies to see this. And I didn't feel nor see from others the "good movie residue" - normally children end up mimicking characters after the movie. I can go on and on with the changes needed... I ended up dreaming a better movie.

Fast and The Furious
Movie: 2.8, Fast and the Furious 4 - No Limits 2.6
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1013752/
The movie is really exciting to watch. The syndicated show is also exciting, but the storyline is different than the movie. The copy of the movie that I got to see was just a skippy copy that I had to play on my computer... but the movie really looks good and the racing scene where Dom had to qualify was not only cool to watch, but lengthy enough.
The syndicated show was a bit slow at the beginning with stock cars as the first race vehicles... but better races the longer you watch... but they only go so far.

Meet Dave
I'd rate the movie to almost a 2.7 out of 5.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765476/
Felt good and laughed a bit. Nice to watch, for all audiences. Everything was a bit typical, but the bits were nice.

Xmen Origins: Wolverine
3.2 out of 5 for any Xmen/comic book fan. Maybe a 2.3 otherwise.
Got to see the movie before May 1! Why should I give out spoilers? The movie was cool. See how the young James, (DOB: 1845 ?) turn into Wolverine. His healing factor now more like that girl in Heroes - as if he was immortal. Nice to see all those questions about comics when I was kid about Wolverine finally come to a resolve (since I haven't followed the comic book in a long time).
If you read the ending credits, they also consisted of credits from the previous Xmen movies. I don't know if they're going to change those.

Seen the movie Notorious?
I rate this a 2.3 of 5
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472198/
I feel kind of generous giving a 2.3, but the movie was interesting, because BIG's life IS interesting, but the movie was still lacking a certain flare. If this was based on someone else's life, I would give a much much lower rating. Also, I kind of know how scripts are written and how mysteries usually work, and based on the writing and what was on the movie (not the evidence in real life), the text seemed to hint on who killed Biggie. Of course I believe otherwise.

Watched Wall-E
Wall-E gets a 3.4 out of 5
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/
Wall-E is a really nice movie to watch. I liked the story, the graphics were fun to watch, and the characters were the cutest in all the Pixar films that I've watched. "Cute, appealing, and admirable..." and the little romance makes them even cuter. The high-tech aspect makes them even more appealing. Storyline is something that a child would not give that much of consideration.

The Biggest Loser
There's a lot of The Biggest Loser reruns. Lots of hopeless fat people who blame their weight for them being lazy in life, and they're laziness because of their weight, and they're lazy so they become sluggish, and when they give up because they're sluggish because they can't do something well. Then they associate themselves with that. Getting thinner is possible FAT people just take up more space than they need to... they're not even old, worse than old people. Embarrassing.

Another Movie: Speed Racer
2.9 out of 5 for me.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0811080/
Now, let me tell you what happened the first time I watched the movie. At the last race in the movie, as everything was winding down and Speed Racer was nearing the finish line, I slowly stood from my seat. The computer generated tumbling of futuristic vehicles traveling 500 mi per hour on elliptical race tracks were enhanced the surround sound and a giant screen in front of me. I stood in anticipation, focusing more on the screen, trying to make out the images, watching every detail.
I'm into cars. I'm into racing. I've had speeding tickets before. I raced on the freeway more than once - so I know the feeling. I watched Speed Racer when I was a kid. I used to be a better skilled driver... so I enjoyed the movie. On the small screen doesn't do the movie justice though. Cartoons, cars, crazy driving...

Watched a DVD: The Notebook
I rate this movie an 2.6 out of 5.
Actually was touching. I thought that there might be a twist in the story - since the plot was very obvious... but I still liked watching the movie - though has a slow beginning. Too bad the main characters die at the end.

DVD: Inkheart
Inkheart? Maybe a 2.7 out of 5
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0494238/
Inkheart made me feel good after the movie. I liked seeing the elements of other stories gathered in one. Also the irony of having the writer being called a "god" made me think a bit. This is a "children's adventure fantasy movie" that brought out the child inside of me.

Watched the DVD Baler
I'd rate this a 1.88 out of 5.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305656/
Compared to other Filipino movies out there, this movie is a very good representative of the Filipino heritage; and the movie kept a higher standard of quality in my opinion. I was at the DVD store, choosing what to buy, choosing a bunch of movies to watch until I asked the guy, "Ano ba meron kayo na tagalog?" and a historic film was one of the recommendations. "Baler" : a love story set towards the end of the Spanish occupation / beginning of the Philippine Revolution KKK.

Other DVD: 8 Mile
I rate this a 3.7 out of 5.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298203/
This is enjoyable. I've seen this movie already, but liked seeing the movie again. Maybe because of the story, maybe because of the beats, wanted to see more of this after the ending. And the bonus features... freestyle rap battles and music (good music can be so hypnotizing, and the movie kind of cheats by having a lot of the old school beats throughout the scenes in the background).

Watched a DVD: Brother's Grimm
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0355295/
I rate this, 1.65 out of 5.
Had the DVD lying around and since the movie is kind of old, didn't want to watch that much. Instead of a fantasy - I can see the storylines form from old stories, I did like that part but other than that there were some parts like a horrow movie.

Watched a DVD: Million Dollar Baby
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405159/
Saw the movie last night. I've been wanting to watch this for awhile, and the movie is pretty good. Actually brought up a bit of emotions... I hated the mother of Maggie Fitzgerald... just wanted to slap her. Maggie's effort and Frankie's hardships after her last fight. Sometimes, I thought that Maggie was just trying to go against fate and then shit happened...
From a rating of 0 to 5 (with no zeros) I'd rate this a 3.4. If you likethislike "7 Pounds", you might enjoy seeing this.

Watched a DVD: Man in the Chair
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0489225/
How am I going to rate this movie? Well there's my way of rating movies, from 1 being the lowest (no zeros) to 5 being the highest, I would rate this maybe a 2.25.
The movie was pretty, much like a quick tutorial on how a movie shd be made, but if you're looking for excitement factor... that's something kinda hard to factor in into this kind. The story was good, the script with some lessons too... quotes to think abt.
