This is not a worthless movie, because I wouldn't be writing about it if I have nothing good to say, but if you are looking for something new, this is not the movie to watch.  Everything's been said and done.  

Although both beautiful in their own right, Gina Carano and Kellen Lutz don't have good chemistry together.  I found their team-up boring and the little black dress was not a bit magical, but it did look good on Carano. Carano is a former mixed martial artist, so her moves were good, but the dialogues between her and Lutz were so lame.  Like the little black dress, it wasn't magical at all.  It did not even give me cheap thrills.  

D.B. Sweeney's role(Uncle Ken) was a bit predictable and for those who have watched THE CUTTING EDGE more than a hundred times like me and followed the lives of Doug and Kate(memes etc.), you would still recognize him.  

At the end of the movie I wondered why almost all Kellen Lutz movies have those types of dialogues, but it wasn't all that bad.

It was fairly good.

Bruce Willis, the reason why we watched this in the first place, did not disappoint my dad.  He wasn't spectacular, but he was good.

Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(at least h

EX with BENEFITS (2015) R-13

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et cetera .  It's about many things, and sex is just a part

Source JC Bonnin, William Martinez, Raymond Lauchengco, Aga Muhlach and Herbert Bautista Directed by Maryo J. Delos Reyes Written by Jake Tordesillas Experiencing the forbidden. Experiencing rejection. Hating your parents. Hating the world around you. Discovering what's hot. Discovering what's cool. Discovering your first true love. Discovering who you are. Growing up can be such a wild time. But not when you've got the best guys to hang out with. Five chaste young men immerse themselves in the superficialities and superfluity of adolescence over the course of their last year in high school. But as they make their gradual transition from boyhood to manhood, they realize it is their formidable bond that stands as the real deal. Starring a generation that gave rise to a new youth culture.-imdb My mind seems to be playing tricks on me.  I just can't believe that these two movies were shown the same year, but if that is the case, then 1984 was filled wi
