So here is a list of movies I like =) Again, this is my blog about the movies I like so there will be additions to the list every now and then. =)
Transcendence
This is a movie that made me think - what if man is capable of being a God?
Inception
I dream like them (dreaming inside a dream) and I never thought that a film can be made out of that, a brilliant movie at that. =)
Hotel Rwanda
This made me cry. Films that show what happened/is happening in Africa really interest me.
The Shawshank Redemption
An inspiring and smart movie. Love it.
Patch Adams
My fave late Robin Williams movie. I also cried buckets in this movie.
Titanic
Took me a long time to accept and move on from the fate of Jack (Leonardi di Carpio). It really broke my heart.
Y Tu Mama Tambien
One of the earliest bold and daring and brave movies I watched. I like the way the Mexico political and social issues are exposed while also discussing the entangled lives of the main characters. And Gael was hot too =)
50 First Dates
Who wouldn't want to fall in love anew every single day? =)
Heavenly Creatures
This movie haunted me for several days. I can't get over with what happened at the ending. How could they???
Spider Man 2
Among all the spidey movie, this is the best for me. I love it how Peter went spiraling down to once again, the world's hero =)
Man of Steel
I watched two super man movies in my generation and I like this one better than the Superman Returns (in 2006). I like how they presented the characters - especially the human side of Clark Kent. I also love Superman's costume here, compared to the other superman movies.
Armageddon
I find this movie very touching, in my young heart back in highschool. hehe
12 Years a Slave
One of the best films I saw so far. The cinematography was perfect. And the approach of the movie - very subtle but just heart piercing.
Apocalypto
Morbid and dark, that's how I love it.
Invictus
An inspiring story of what and how leadership should be, and of forgiveness and unity.
Ang Babae sa Septic Tank
A different take on Filipino movies, and in the indie film itself, I like the fresh perspective and attack of the film. Very unique, and really funny.
Milan
Advertised as a love story, but turned out to be a movie about OFWs plights and sad stories abroad. I like socially relevant movies sometimes.
Here Comes the Bride
This film still makes me laugh even if I have seen it several times already. A very unique and smart comedy movie. No slapsticks at all, just pure wits. Not to mention that everyone acted out their role superbly.
Mystic River
This is really a mystery drama movie. Sean Penn was really effective here. I love the twists and how the characters unfolded.
Bona
In the mainstream Filipino movies nowadays, there is hardly any film that portrays empowered women. I found out due to my constant CinemaOne marathon that movies in the 1980s era show strong women. And this is what Bona is all about, stupid and in love but strong and revengeful. It was subtle, no heavy drama but was very effective. I also did not expect the ending!
The Matrix 1, 2 and 3
A totally intelligent movie. Made me think if my life here is real or just because of a software.
Changeling
Dark and sad, but I love it just the way it is.
Cinderella Man
A very touching story. Plus Russell Crowe has the ability to die in movies so I wasn't really sure if he will live at the end.
500 Days of Summer
The ultimate basag movie of all time!
Divergent
I totally relate to the protagonist of this story. Deep within, I am divergent, questioning a lot of norms and traditions. However, I am bent on following, knowing the price to pay for not following the imposed standards of society. And yes, personally, there is an inherent need for me to belong. Anyways, this is a success story of someone who is different =) it inspired me. ehehehe
The Last Temptation of Christ
OMG. What a creative way of presenting the Lord in a different light. Very bold and brave but still strengthens the faith! =)
A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Definitely a heart-wrenching story about a robot who wants to be a boy. Depicts though human being's cruelty, in this movie, to robots. One smart movie.
Stranger than Fiction
A very simple plot but really pinches one's imagination. I find this one-of-a-kind and quite unpredictable.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
I am not a frequent fan of very famous movies but this one, I like. I like how it was able to balance the characters in the movie despite all of them being big stars. Everyone has his/her own shining moment. I also like how the teamwork is presented, and the special effects to boot. They won one Marvel fan now =)
Pitch Perfect (1)
I lurveeeee this movie! Being the music lover that I am. I hope I can do acapella like that! Walang sinabi yung Glee :p
Heneral Luna
One of the best Filipino films I have watched so far. In an era of a movie industry that creates only shallow stories and boring, predictable romantic comedies, this movie is such a breath of fresh air. Heneral Luna emphasized on a lot of socially relevant issues such as patriotism, gender empowerment, lack of unity, etc. which is absent in most movies nowadays. I hope the younger generation who watched this movie took it by their heart as to be champions for what Heneral Luna wanted for this country. The actors and actresses were also fantastic, the director was just so gifted and how the movie was done was pure artistry. I hope movies of this quality start to come back into the mainstream.
Suffragette
I never knew how bad the situation of women is until I watched this movie. Women were really treated as second-class citizen and that is so sad. But this movie shows us never to give up, like what the women fought for, the right to vote. =)
The Imitation Game
What a great way to narrate how computers started. Plus, great respect for the actors and actresses in this movie. And I can't believe how bad gays were treated in those times. I am so glad that some parts of the world have become more progressive nowadays.
The Theory of Everything
A story of love, marriage and falling out of the madness of love in narrated in a non-romanticized, realistic, less dramatic way. Scenes are just subtle, no heavy dialogues in tears, but just way too moving. This movie also provides a story of hope and courage, never to give up, amidst an awful situation.
SERIES
Meanwhile, I love series that are jampacked with action. I also love series that are solving crimes. So here they are:

Bones
I love how strongly the characters are portrayed here and each character dynamically interact with each other both in a personal attitudinal level and their area of expertise (we have an FBI agent, forensic anthropologist, artist, the bug guy, the shrink etc.). I hope this series never ends! Haha

Chuck
I like Chuck's special talent here, with the very sexy but fierce Sarah and their love story. The different characters as well make the series even more interesting. I however became bored after Season 2. It seems to me that the 3rd season is overstretched. Stopped watching after that.

Prison Break
I love the first seasons of this series. I think the plot is ingenious. Plus a very good looking main cast. I must admit that I had sleepless nights watching this because I just can't stop from one episode to the other. But it also bored me after two seasons. It seemed that they never stop running from whoever. I got tired of the chasing.
Nip Tuck
Morbid, and very weird, (and perverse!), but it continues to interest me =)
Emily Owens, M.D.
Another story of women empowerment. Just as I was beginning to get hooked, the series had to be cut short because of poor ratings. Oh well.
izombie
Since I love series about crime investigation, Izombie is a refreshing take in solving crimes. The twist and turns also make me giddy! Will definitely be watching every season =)
The Flash
This definitely does not bore me, as there is something to discover at the end. I also used to watch The Flash during the 1990s and it is cool that the protagonist's biological father is the one who portrayed the Flash during the 1990s. Already finished season 1 and will be highly anticipating the next seasons =)
Supergirl
Interesting characters to love! And this series really places emphasis on women empowerment. =) Really entertaining
