FILM REVIEW: Pleasure or Pain: A time wasting movie

Pleasure or Pain is the last movie directed by an erotic director Zalman King before he died.  It talks about a wealthy real estate developer, Jack, taking a young woman, Victoria, with him.  They later on get married without Victoria knowing all the things behind Jack's mysterious life.  She will be able to learn more about Jack, without knowing she will learn more about her.

Aside from the movie being erotic, it doesn't give you any spice to like this movie.  It has a lousy acting, making the every dialogue less emotional, and it just gives you an overly sexy voice telling the story of a woman and a man having sex.

This movies features the real porn stars, so it is no wonder why the acting are not really good.  It is more on porn side, rather than showing really what the story is all about.  I know that this film is erotic, but it should have at least a story that can make people be engage to, rather than people only being engage in sex acts where usually all just girls to girls fucking.

This movie doesn't really give you any good in wasting your time.  You should have watch the porn videos of these lovely stars, rather than wasting your time in this movie.

Don't watch this if you are minor, you will not learn something.  This movie is a must not watch movie,

FILM REVIEW: Kung Fu Panda: Chapter 3

theatrical poster release (c) Wikipedia

Kung Fu Panda 3 is the third sequel of the famous animated film Kung Fu Panda.  It stared a dragon warrior panda named Po that needs to save the other dragon warriors and their chi that was stolen by the evil Kai.  In order to defeat Kai, Po should learn all about his inner self first, but while he was busy learning who he really is, it's already too late to save his master, and his friends from evil Kai's hands.

As expected, Kung Fu Panda is a much awaited comedy animated film, and it is considered as one of the highest grossing films for 2016.  It garnered positive reviews, especially to Chinese audiences.  Hollywood has been trying to reach Chinese audiences these past few years, and Kung Fu Panda series might be one of the most successful.

The movie started when Kai is fighting with Master Oogway to get his chi, but before Kai can get Master Oogway's chi, he was told about the dragon warrior Po, who will defeat him.

The movie then continue to Master Shifu passing his position to Po as a Kung Fu teacher, but later on, Po realizes that it was not an easy job to teach Kung Fu, then gave up.  He then found his father and decided to learn who he really is, and try to defeat Kai.

The characters in the movie hasn't change since the previous two movie released. It is still expected that Po will bring the fun in the film.  The film would definitely bring joy to the viewers as it does not focus on the little audiences only, but it is for the whole family.

Kung Fu Panda: Chapter 3 movie brings you the lesson about how important unity is when it comes to defeating the darkness.

FILM REVIEW: The Forest

The Forest movie talks about the story of Japan's suicide forest in Yamanashi prefecture.  It s believed that people who visits there never go out alive once they will leave the path.

The story revolves around a woman trying to find her twin sister in the forest after it was gone for how many days.  He then met a stranger and will soon help her in finding her lost sister.  But everything is not quite good as the forest will betray her and use her sadness,

The film's trailer was very good that it can really make you interested in watching the movie.  the cinematography of the film is a big factor in making this a one of sought after movie.  But the movie just simply revolves around finding the woman's long lost sister.  It doesn't give you anything.  Basically, what you see in the trailer, that's already the story and all you need to have next is on how she will do anything for her sister. 

This is another kind of based-on-true-events movies that will never give justice to that label.  I don't find this film appealing to watch, though it has a lot of twists, but it will really leave you hanging.

The film is full of jump scares, but doesn't really work.  So if you're not really into how the film was made, and just simply by having entertainment, you can watch this film, and find out on your own what happened until the end.

FILM REVIEW: Theory of Everything: A One of A Kind Film

RATING: ★★★★☆

Theory of Everything is by far one of the most famous biographical movie for it talks about the life of today's famous theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking.  The movie was based on the book by Hawking's first wife Jane Wilde, Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen.

At the beginning of the movie, it shows you the journey of Stephen being an ordinary student of physics, and on how he tries hard to have a thesis topic.  His friends was able to have their different thesis topics, but Stephen wasn't able to decide yet.

One day, there was a party held in Stephen's area, and that is where he met Jane through a mutual friend.  They shared talks about their life, and even their ambitions in life.  This is where Stephen shares something about the stars, and everything that we can see in the skies.

His professors and friends are already concerned over Stephen's lack of thesis topic, and time might not be enough for him to defend it.  During a lesson with his professor about the black hole, Stephen concluded to himself that black hole might be the beginning of all.  After it, he was able to formulate, and study about black hole as the beginning of time, and make it as his thesis topic.

On his way to school, Stephen was able to slipped and hit his head on the ground.  He was brought to the hospital, and was able to diagnosed with a motor neuron disease, or we know it now as ALS.  Everyday he is already struggling for his body is slowly showing signs, and thinking about the 2 year life expectancy provided by his doctor.  He also limits himself in seeing Jane, who was that time so worried about Stephen.

In the verge of giving up about life, Jane really tries to confront Stephen, telling him that she love him, and that she would be with him until the last day, that they will face and fight Stephen's illness together.

The Theory of Everything is a good film, and this is not basically for science nerd.  Although the first part of the film is boring for those people who don't really understand science, but the movie has a lot of lessons, especially from Stephen.

Eddie Redmayne brings you back to the young Stephen Hawking.  A reason why he grabbed the Academy Awards among other contenders.  Felicity Jones is also a good point in helping Redmayne do a superb performance.

Theory of everything is not just for the science nerd people, this film is for everyone. Too much lesson from Stephen Hawking. Eddie Redmayne's performance was superb. Again, it is not Eddie that you can see in the film, it really was Stephen. Such a great performance for this film. Such a great film. Sadly, Jane wasn't able to fulfill her promise sticking and fighting with Stephen as long as they live.

Paid Surveys at Home: SCAM!

Have you encountered this website called Paid Surveys at Home?  It promises to give you surveys and paid you money when you completed the survey.  They are promising to offer you big amount of money whenever you answer their surveys.  But let us take a look of this website first.

The website has a Clickbank|Trusted Secure logo at the top of their page.  It even have some testimonials from the "real" people joining this survey site and a calculator to try calculating your supposed "income".  Sounds great right?  Wait.  Read more.


This is what you can see if you'll scroll down their website.  It shows you how this paid survey works and how can you earn money.  It even stated that you can make $20 dollar for a 20 minute survey,  That sounds like an easy money.  It's something like $1 in every minute you take a survey/  Imagine taking a survey for an hour, isn't it a big amount of money?  But before that, let's dig deeper.

If you click the Get Started button, it will route you again to bunch of information and testimonials bragging about this company.  It's good strategy to persuade people, but I don't think anyone would like to read the writings that long.

This is the end of the page.  It only need your name, email address, and country and you are good to go.  But is it really good site and legit?  The answer is a big NO! as in! N.O, NO!  Why?  Let us take a look about it.

After you send this registration, they will send you email regarding your account, and they will going to give you some information how you can start earning using your account.  The bad thing here is YOU NEED TO PAY FIRST, before you can have access in your own account.  That's ridiculous! Why would you pay for something if it is offering you a job?  But of course, I want to be fair, so I asked their chat agent and this is what I received.









As you can see, the virtual chat agent is not really answering my question on why would we need to pay a registration fee.  Why would they think of putting a chat support if they just used a computer or robot in answering the questions?

CONS:

- registration fee needed ( paid surveys are usually free )
- NO "real" chat support
- Testimonials are not supporting them.  Seems like it's same testimonials as I saw way back years ago.
- too good to be true payment for a survey.

Overall, I would proudly say and advice to you to STOP just in case you are planning to be part of Paid surveys at home,  If it's too good to be true, then it is not true.

FILM REVIEW: My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore

RATING: ★☆☆☆☆

The 2015 MMFF competition has been very controversial because of the different awards, and for MMFF committee not releasing the rankings of the movies that participated even weeks after the official release.  But one of the biggest controversy for last year's MMFF was the fight between the fans of the movie My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore and Beauty and the Bestie.  I will review here the former one.

My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore talks about a story of two teenager fighting to keep their relationship because of their family having conflict with each other.  Ana (Maine Mendoza) whose father is an owner of a company (Vic Sotto) and Dondi (Alden Richards) whose aunt is Corazon (Ai-ai delas Alas) fall in love with each other and was able to keep seeing each other secretly.  Until such time, Cora and Ana's dad was able to develop a relationship and ends up together.

Vic Sotto's role in this film is nothing new for he always handles this kind of role.  The story concept is not very new to the viewer's and surely, many people will agree.  The film portrays the screenplay in a messy and incomprehensible for it was not clearly portrayed.  It's like jumping from one story to another.  Just like the previous My Little Bossings.  It is guaranteed to make you laugh in a limited time.

Many fans who were able to watch stated that it was very "kilig" and they would really watch it over and over again, but as I watch the movies, I can't say which part is "kilig".  It was merely dull, and Maine Mendoza's acting wasn't that appealing and convincing.  Though she's good in portraying her role, but viewers cannot simply feel the way she acts.

Editing was horrible for a film that's official entry in a film festival.  There are a lot of split screens as if you are watching the Eat Bulaga's Kalyeserye.  Maybe it's their strategy for the audience, but I don't think it makes a lot of sense.  It depicts two scenes in one screen, but it didn't give a justice at all.  I wasn't able to see such type of portraying of split screen before.

One thing, this movie seems like a set of commercial joined together to make a full length film.  It's not bad to have sponsors and include it in the film, but I guess exposure of sponsors was way too much.  It simply adds up to make the full length movie time justifiable.

I don't think this is a good movie, and I don't even think that this is worth your money.  You will end up  asking what happen to the film and not really understanding it at all.  This movie was able to gain more sales because of the AlDub tandem, and guess if they weren't there, this movie will not really sell.
