Watched a stack of DVDs during the Holy Week.  Some reviews:

1. Just Like Heaven - I failed to watched this on the big screen ‘coz I thought it’s not worth the precious pesos; however, I now reverse my original opinion.  The movie was a nice feel good flick.  Mark Ruffalo (my fave next to Colin Firth — hehehe, unassuming leading actors) did not disappoint me; in fact, aside from being usually sensitive, he was quite funny in this movie.  The story was unbelievable, but at least it was not overdone.

2. She’s the Man – I never intended to watch this film but Betty brought home a DVD copy.  Throughout the movie (130am-3am of Holy Wednesday), I was telling Betty, “Why the hell are we wasting precious sleeping time over this crap?!”  It was sooooo bad that it deserves condemnation.  Ughh! And this is a lose adaptation of “Taming of the Shrew” (according to Kris)? Hello?! I watched the said Shakespearean play on stage, but I did not see a tinge of it in She’s the Man.  Amanda Bynes sucked big time here (I was never a fan of her anywhere else anyway). She was so Nickelodeon-ishly irritating.  Eew, eew, eew!

3. Bandidas – I also did not intend to watch this as well ‘coz I do not like Penelope Cruz; but Kris popped the DVD in the player already so I had to sit through it.  It was not excruciatingly horrible naman; quite acceptable no-brainer movie actually.  I guess guys would like it due to the amazing bods of the two Latina actresses. 

4. The Man – Action-comedies aren’t my thing really; but this one was ok and even elicited some guffaws from me.  Weird and unbelievable; but good enough for us bored people then J

5. Little Manhattan – hehe, I just had to watch this again.  My super fave movie to date.
