Hitman Movie (Trailer)

Ok, just saw this on YouTube... it's the movie based on one of the popular stealth games around - Hitman... The actor who will portray 47 (the lead character) is Timothy Olyphant (the bad guy on Bruce Willis' Die Hard 4.0).. If i'm not mistaken 47 on the pc and console game is already old (40 plus maybe), so maybe the movie's story is about his beginnings as a "hired assassin." Check this trailer:

Check this teaser from Marvel... starring Robert Downey Jr. as Industrialist genius Tony Stark aka Iron Man. (well, after reading "Civil War" I still hate his character)...

More than meets the eye

Thank God for the World Wide Web and ebay, because of these the Autobots were able to locate clues that will eventually lead to the lost "cube" - a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possessed it. I'm referring about the Transformers movie, which i just watched a few hours ago. I've been waiting for this movie to come out for like... 3 years (i think) and Wow as in WOW! This movie totally rocks!

Great story, way awesome action sequences and outstanding CGI animations. Great casting as well, from Shia's main character Spike to the brave soldiers played by Tyrese and Josh, same goes with Jon Voight who portrayed the character of Secretary of Defense effectively. Also, the humor works very well and is satisfying and natural instead of silly and forced. As for the robots, hands down for the very detailed models... yes they are not exactly the same as the cartoons but these new models actually looks good especially during their transformation. Optimus, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchett, Ironhide compose the Autobots... all of them transforming into GMC vehicles (sponsored of course) while Megatron, Starscream, Barricade, Devastator, Frenzy, Skorpinok and Blackout make out the Decepticons. Trivia: Optimus is voiced by Peter Cullen, the original Optimus' voice of the 80's cartoons while Megatron is voiced by actor Hugo Weaving.

Best action movie that i've seen so far this year, I enjoyed it a lot i watched it again for the 2nd time. The last movie that i watched twice was Matrix Reloaded. The action sequences will really blow you away :)

Transformers really did bring back the child in me, it's nice to see these robots in disguise in the big screen. It's also nice to know that we get to watch it early here in the Philippines, US will start their regular showing on July 4 in time for their Independence Day. Watch it! you'll never be disappointed. Go now to the cinemas, as what Optimus' says... "Autobots... roll out!"

Is 13 the lucky number for Ocean and his crew?

Since i can't think of anything else to write today, I decided to make my own personal review of this movie i just watched yesterday - Ocean's 13. So let's head first with the plot:

The last time we saw Danny Ocean's crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it's been a while since they've come back together, which is all about to change. When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff builds a hotel with known casino owner Willy Bank, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Bank. Bank's attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff's misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack. However, Danny and his crew won't stand for Bank and what he's done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Bank, the crew is out to pull off a major plan. One that will unfold on the night Bank's newest hot spot opens up, when the crew is out to bankrupt one of the city's most despised businessmen. But they're not in this for the money, but for the revenge.

Okay, some say this is the worst of the three Ocean's films... others say it's the best compared to the first 2 films. In my opinion... this is much better than 2004's Ocean's 12... BUT (and that's one big BUT), it's still not as good as 2001's Ocean's 11. First thing the audience will notice is the exclusion of the two main ladies from the previous movies - Julia Roberts and Zeta-Jones. A bit surprise though, maybe since they hired Al Pacino, it will be very expensive if they also have Julia & Catherine... but still the story ran well even without them, the men just concentrating on the big score. Speaking of the story, for me this movie is more straight compared to the previous films which were "confusingly complicated" wherein it requires them to track back the events just for the viewers to know what really happened. It's also a good thing for me personally, because of that i didn't have to watch the movie twice. Clooney, Pitt and the rest like before are still funny, gags well done, and the dialogs superb, most noticeable were the disguises they made. Terry Benedict is back but this time he joins the crew, just to put Bank's business down. It's nice to see Andy Garcia with Al Pacino in one part of the film... i just hoped they have more lines (funny lines) to make one memorable scene. French thief François Toulour is also back, same with Techy guy Roman Nagel... but with short appearances.

So is 13 the lucky number for Ocean and his crew? for me yes... Ocean's 13 is a big comeback for the guys after their disastrous 2nd film. If you haven't seen this movie yet go ahead and watch it. Before the Transformers arrive heh heh...
