I thought this was just an okay movie that's been done many times before. A typical romantic comedy and predictable too. I was disappointed because I expected it to be really good with Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel in the lead. They make such a cute couple and they didn't seem to bring more spark into this film. I guess I expected more or expected too much and I usually end up being disappointed. Still, I enjoyed watching this movie for what it was. There were some funny moments and some sad moments, as well as sexual tensions between Heigl and Duhamel's characters.The baby was cute and funny too.

Overall, this movie was a nice, romantic comedy, family drama type of film. More of like a Hallmark kind of film. I think this was better to Netflix or rent this movie than to watch in theaters. Not that I thought it was worst nor I dislike watching it in theaters, but just sayin'...

My Life As We Know It Film Rating: ! (6/10; C-)

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my...

British TV Period Dramas

Image
Before I started watching (and getting hooked on) Spanish Telenovelas , Korean Dramas , TW-Dramas , and Filipino TV Dramas , I loved watching British TV Period Dramas and I still do. I've seen a lot. Though I have not been watching a lot lately, but I still follow and watch at least a few of them whenever I can. Here are 20 British Period TV Dramas that I've seen and compiled here...

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Image
Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

In Comparison: Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice) vs. Winona Ryder (Little Women)

Image
Ever thought about Keira Knightle y and Winona Ryder as the same person (that you mistake them in their movies?) or looking eerie similar at least look-wise? I'm sure some of you have seen some of their many pictures on magazines and movies that you can't help but noticed they look so similar (we can even add Natalie Portman here, but these two look far more similar, lol). If so, you'll see or rather noticed a lot of similarities between these two beautiful and talented actresses. Take for instance, Keira as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice and Winona Ryder as Josephine March in Little Women, both period movies and both earned them Oscar Nominations for Best actress (in their early 20s too). Here's a comparison between them, I first posted this a while back at the P&P forum (as I own both movies on DVD), I found some very interesting similarities not only with actresses Keira Knightley and Winona Rider eerie physical resemblance (their poses...

Film Review: PRECIOUS: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire.

Image
I saw Precious this weekend, on its 3rd weekend and expansion of theaters (only 629 and has so far grossed to almost $15M in its 15 days this week...very impressive considering it only played limited on its opening weekend debut, much like the small expansion, and its small widest release of 629 theater locations) nationwide as it finally was showing in my local theaters. I've been waiting and looking forward to seeing this film since I heard this movie was being filmed and Mariah Carey (my favorite singer) was cast in a small role as Mrs. Weiss . Also, I've read the novel "Push" by Sapphire this movie was based from. Like Oscar's Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire , Precious (the lil' Independent film) has been getting tons of standing O's and rave reviews as well as won several Audience Awards in various film festivals such as Sundance, Toronto, and Chicago Film festivals to name a few. So, I've been following this film and got so excit...
