MOVIES. MOVIES. MOVIES.

I love watching movies when I have free time. So let me tell you of the latest movies I watched recently. Let's start with MATCHSTICK MEN starring Nicholas Cage. Oh men this guy has too many movies to his credits. I couldn't believe it. I only knew few movies I can remember because I managed to watch them from beginning to end such as: WICKER MAN, KNOWING, LEAVING LAS VEGAS, CON AIR, FACE/OFF, CITY OF ANGELS. These are the only movies which I think were blockbusters or megahits.

MATCHSTICK MEN is about two partners in crime and they called themselves as con artists. In this movie Nicolas is a clean freak who doesn't want his penthouse getting dirty or stained then suddenly he met his daughter. You know what happened with con-artists right? They got entangled in the web of lies and con. I wont tell you the whole story you have to watch it for yourself. Wikipedia used to tell their readers the whole story and because of that you wont need to watch it. Why the men were called Matchstick Men? I myself was questioning the title of this movie. Why numbers 555 is always being used in movies for telephone numbers, just like in Serendipity? WHY?

That number is now for FIRE. If there's a fire call #555.

WICKER MAN, the movie that is compelling and lots of suspense. Nicolas Cage as a detective who was called for duty in a remote island. The island is occupied by mostly women (young and old) who believed that their lives are somewhat related to the life cycle of bees and the cult they are promoting to their familiesthroughout the remote part of the island. I know it's quite funny however you wont laugh at the whole story because the ending is tragic. Weird movie.

Next the movie of Pres. George Bush > W the movie is about Pres. Bush's spiritual side. His political idea is more of a business rather than what his father had established during his time in the office of the president. The lighter side of GW is simply the cowboy who loves great foods, snacks of chips, bbq, steak and sandwiches. He was warned by Dick Cheney about the food he ate. Knowing Mr. Cheney had a heart pronblem before so he is just a good health adviser. His relationship with his father is seen and known throughout the entire movie. His relationship with his wife is rather boring. Sec. Condoleeza Rice is seen as a private secretary, adviser, and listener. Iraq was mentioned and in their meeting the political advisers once told W that there is no way out in Iraq. Hmm, really? 9/11 is not mentioned much to the dismay of some reporters and journalists surrounding him at the press con. He only can attest that "they must leave before the job is done!" Some people have problems with Pres. Goerge Bush's sense of humor. He is a man who is a savvy businessman, funny, smart and eloquent speaker and it seems that he is not really popular with the rest of the people in his country. Thank God he is surrounded by highly intelligent human beings. Life goes on.

WORLD WAR Z, the latest movie of Brad Pitt. It was to be comapred with Milla J's movies about zombies in RESIDENT EVIL. Similar approach, adrenaline rush, great escape away from zombies infected by deadly virus. Running here and there, panic buying and looting. Nowhere to hide. Then Brad got injured through vehicular accident and he was seen bleeding pierced by sharp object from the vehicle's safety belt? The girl with him survived the accident and both of them found the WHO center. I don't know why WHO it should be CDC right? Then instead of his abdominal injury wrapped with bandage it was shown in that movie that he wrapped his arm with bandage. Hey what's wrong? Is that a blooper? Then the zombies in that building were roaming freely in the laboratory and the rest of W.H.O officers are just watching them in fear aimlessly. The girl and Brad went inside the lab to get the medicines they need. Antidotes or whatever that can cure them. After Brad got what he needs, injected himself with the antidote and got away from the zombies who never even bothered to hurt him. Immunity or what? Or the cans of carbonated drinks lead them to where the cooler is. I don't know about your opinion but this movie is really a Z. No squel whatsoever. I'm disappointed with this movie. It's more like rushed to finish flat line and show it on its playdate. Or running out of budget of somekind? What could be? The very first twenty minutes of the movie is quite interesting but the ending is simply a bore!

Milla Jobovich still is the number one zombie fighter! The reigning queen!!
