Flipped PG

Flipped is another film that managed to tug at the heartstrings. Though it revolved mainly on young romance, it's also about family and growing up. Juli Baker is one of the best persons I've ever known. She is a sweet innocent soul who was able to think maturely ahead of her peers. She's someone whose wit you'll surely look up to, and whose personality you'll certainly fall for. Flipped is another motion picture that is very simple yet utterly beautiful.

Tangled PG

It's a really cute and creative adaptation of the classic fairytale my generation, and also the ones before us and hopefully the ones that followed, loved and adored. What's even more fascinating about this aside from the comedic scenes is that someone who used to lead a not-so-admirable life changed when he met the love his life. It's really nice to be loved by a good man. But what's even more heartfelt is that someone became a better person because he met you. I had a good time.

The Passion of the Christ R

One of the most heart-wrenching films I've ever seen. Very beautiful cinematography and superb actors. Just beautiful.

Forrest Gump PG-13

Forrest Gump. Clearly, he has a very low IQ and it would be very much appropriate to remark that he is a complete idiot. But, I think a kinder and still proper description of him in my point of view is that he is a man of innocence. He has gone through a lot in his life. He was bullied at school. He met the girl of his dreams and her only friend as a child. There are times when he had her, and often she's gone. He gained and lost things along the way. But, what he retained until the end is his innocence. This innocence made him a laughingstock of the world, but, this is also what made his life extremely extraordinary. Wonderful direction from Robert Zemeckis who has made the adaptation of a story full of facts from history twisted to create Forrest Gump, producing a moving and interesting film until the very last scene. Good set of actors and of course, the outstanding Tom Hanks. The story was really unforgettable and filled with valuable life lessons. This is a movie where you'll get the perfect amount of drama, comedy and romance. And I tell you, Forrest is not stupid as his mother believed so. The world is stupid. They struggle to do things, even ruining others, to achieve their ambitions and as presented in the film through some characters, they end up losing. And where's Forrest? He's there seeing the world with pure simplicity and innocence.
