2008 Movie Round-Up #8
I saw the first two movies, Reservation Road and Cloverfield more than a month ago, when I still had a lot of spare time to leisurely catch up on some films. I saw Ploning with a friend a few weeks ago at the cinemas.
2008 Movie Round-up #7
We watched the films below as part of our last lecture class in Media Ethics a few weeks ago. All films are Hollywood productions made in the 1970’s.

2008 Movie Round-Up #6
Since I have relatively more time in my hands, I was able to catch up on some movie viewings. It can get quite addicting, really. In between doing the written thesis of our short film, I take breaks by watching a movie. The first one is a Spanish film, the two others are the first two installments in the James Bond franchise.

2008 Movie Round-Up #5
I’ve actually seen the first two films, Atonement and Gone Baby Gone more than a month ago, but academics and the student council elections took most of my time so I wasn’t able to blog about them. I saw Le Grand Chef, a Korean film, around a week ago.
2008 Movie Round-up #4
It’s been some weeks since I last saw some films. I saw Bee Movie, interestingly at the Quezon City Hall. I was waiting patiently for my turn at the City Treasury’s Assessment Lounge where they were screening a pirated DVD screener of the film. It took me almost two hours of waiting, so I actually finished the entire film while on queue. The other two films, Eastern Promises and American Gangster, I watched at home. Again, don’t ask how. Hehe.

2008 Movie Round-up #3
For this movie-round-up, two are Hollywood movies, and the other a Chinese production. I watched all three at home this week. Don’t ask how.
2008 Movie Round-Up #2
In this round-up, one is an Australian production, the other a classic Hollywood flick, and the last one a Filipino film. I saw December Boys at home, The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit in media ethics class, and Desperadas, at the cinemas–all last, last week.

2008 Movie Round-Up #1
I sort of got this idea from Estanli Cabigas’ Rough Groove blog. I enjoy watching movies, and as much as I would like to write lengthily on what I think about each film I watch, I usually don’t have the time. So, I’ve decided that for every three films I see this year, I’ll do a round-up with short comments on what I liked or disliked about the film. This is also to keep track on what I see for the entire year.
I saw all three of these at home, during the holidays, just before school started for the year. One is a Hollywood film, the two others are from South Korea.
