I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

When a person has fewer clients by choice, you would think he or she would have more time to blog about what he or she has watched or whatever else that is important in his or her life.  Unfortunately that is not how it is.  I have other concerns and most of them are not worth writing.  I did see some awesome movies, musicals, plays and concerts that left me awe struck, but the glory of the moment has dissipated already so I skipped writing my wonderful experiences while watching the aforementioned. Anyways, I need to give myself a push to write "here" again and since I'm on a hiatus with regards to writing personal online journals, I will just write about two of the movies I've seen recently at Director's Club Cinema of SM BF Parañaque.  I must say that there's still going to be some sort of personal touch, because after all, I am definitely not a critic, but just an observer.  I must also warn  you that this is not going to be an award winning piece, so...

Director: Adam McKay Running time: 2h 10m Box office: 54 million USD Screenplay: Adam McKay, Charles Randolph Cast and Crew We've been duped!  We've been duped perhaps even before we were born.  I've been invited to be a financial adviser by several companies, but I know that this is not my line of expertise plus taxation(and everything connected to it) has always been my Waterloo.  This movie sort of  made me appreciate that world  and I love the way everything was presented.  Yes, they fictionalized some parts, but most of the movie was based on facts.  They added humor to everything and they used celebrities to make those facts easier to understand.   Christian Bale even got the mannerisms of Dr. Mike Burry (who is actually more handsome in real life--- when smiling and not compared to the picture in the article --- compared to how the "makeup artists" made Christian Bale look like). I love the way Marisa Tomei played Cy...

A childhood incident has convinced Faith Corvatch (Marisa Tomei) that her true love is a guy named "Damon Bradley," but she has yet to meet him. Preparing to settle down and marry a foot doctor, Faith impulsively flies to Venice when it seems that she may be able to finally encounter the man of her dreams. Instead, she meets the charming Peter Wright (Robert Downey Jr.). But can they fall in love if she still believes that she is intended to be with someone else? Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves, that we are underlings." Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141) This is another film that I don't get tired watching.  Yes, maybe it's not critically acclaimed(mixed reviews) or anything to that effect, but it's a movie that pulls heartstrings and makes you smile.  It's more than a movie about fate or its twists, it's also a movie about decisions and true love. Only You  is a 1994 American  romantic come...
