THREE YEARS


I have to confess...I almost forgot that it was almost three years since my first published review on the blog and this third year has been crazy with some weeks especially during the summer where numbers skyrocketed as to how many is reading my reviews and also what a rollercoaster year this is had been regarding a few great movies, good movies and bad movies.

But, again, I want to say thank you to everybody who has been reading my movie reviews, in-depth discussions, great selections (classic films) and some lists. It is you all that strive me to push forward as to what movies I recommend and share and why I did like or hate the overall project. Plus, sometimes, I sacrifice myself for sharing my pain with y'all after a bad movie experience so that you will not have to suffer. Hahaha!

However, please...go ahead and read some past reviews and GREAT SELECTIONS. Let's hope for another year.

(By the way, I actually made that image above. I'm getting better little by little. Graphic design is not my forte.)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), PG-13, ★★1/2

We're about halfway through the Harry Potter franchise and this is the turning point in which I found the material to be darker and more mature when the storyline surrounding Lord Voldemort grows. And, also we see another new and fresh direction as David Yates comes into the spotlight to finish off the franchise with the last four movies. I remember watching the trailer in the theaters and I was excited for this movie as it was mostly action-packed. The bottom line is despite the camaraderie between the young Hogwarts characters and a real-good action sequence in the climax, it is a choppily edited and more grounded movie that does not provoke much magic or memorable scenery. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enduring a hot summer and Dudley (Harry Melling) provokes him by making fun of the fact that Harry is haunted by Cedric's death from The Goblet of Fire and also his mom's death. As a storm approaches, demeanors come into the tunnel sucking Dudley's so...

Non-Stop (2014), PG-13, 3 stars

The passengers think Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a terrorist. Airports and airplanes. The lines. The crowds. The delays. Everything that Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) hates about flying. When it comes to airports, I have to go through the procedure with taking your carry-on baggage and luggage on the flight. Then, I go through security which I have to admit is not as bad, just follow the rules and guidelines. After security, what do you do? If you are two or three hours early, you have time to kill: Have something to eat, watch something on your IPad, shop, etc. As you board and get on the plane, anything can happen from turbulence to maybe something unexpected like this movie's situation. This movie is silly and preposterous, but it is a fun movie to watch. The movie opens with Bill Marks tired drinking alcohol and arguing with a supervisor on his cellphone glancing at a photo of his daughter. But, he is trying to get his act together by lighting a cigarette while he is being pus...
