Life is Beautful

In 1939, Guido, an Italian Jew, falls in love with Dora, who isn't Jewish. He woos her away from the Fascist official she has been dating, and they get married. Their son Giosue grows up among growing anti-Semitism. As the war progresses, Guido and Giosue are arrested and taken to a concentration camp. Dora goes too, determined not to separate the family. In the midst of the horrors of the camp, Guido protects his son by pretending that survival in the concentration camp is an elaborate game with which Giosue must play along or be sent home.

What can I say? Jew movie always makes me cry
This one guaranteed to break your heart
Release Locally on VCD and DVD
Italian Story Italian Movie

Sorry No Ferarri On sight

I haven't seen this movie but mcvarki has. He narrated it to me one time, and it was enough to make me cry. Such a sad story but the title is just perfect for it because in some way, the dad who was in a concentration camp with his son, found ways to make his son view life in such conditions as still beautiful

Another good movie to watch is "Music From Another Room" starring Jude Law and Gretchen Moll. It's a beautiful lab istory.

life is beautiful...a nice movie...you should watch it....

brad,

Read somewhere on the Net, Prince Caspian is the next movie! Can't wait!

Also, I just finished reading the entire Chronicles. Hanep ganda. Medyo bitter sweet nga lang yung final chapter sa last book, parang Revelations ang dating.

Finally saw Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and I tell you this movie rocks! It's quite faithful to the book and a lot of the important moments in the book were wonderfully captured in the movie. Brings out the little kid in you, the kind that had always searched for adventure and magic, and the kind that had always believed in good fighting evil.

Great movie, something parents should take their children to watch, and have a grand time watching as well.


I loved the book, I loved the play, and now I love the movie!

Hmmm, I wonder which book they'll do next . . .

Book 1: The Magician's Nephew (sort of a prequel so perhaps it'd be best to show this last in here we see the creation of Narnia)
Book 2: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
Book 3: A Horse and His Boy (sort of like a side story during the reign of the 4 children)
Book 4: Prince Caspian (my money's on this being the next movie. Story takes hundreds(?) of years after Book 2)
Book 5: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (sana movie 3 eto, another great quest aboard the ship Dawn Treader, mala Star Trek Voyager
Book 6: Silver Chair (currenty reading . . .
Book 7: The Last Battle

marcs,

Prince Caspian will most probably be the next movie. mala-Hamlet ang tema ng storya...full of betrayals.

your fellow CS Lewis fan,

[roxio]

just saw Memoirs of a Geisha,

I notice that though its a japanese based film almost all of the actors are chinese...

but the movie is AAA good

[sabretooth]

Taegukgi

A Korean War story of two brothers sucked in the war machine. A very very good war movie.

I hope we get see breast this time!

[qt_kat]

I just watched Pride and Prejudice. Keira Knightley is very charming. Its a love story so I recommend you watch it with your special someone. ;D

[jr]

I'm not into love story movie but when I seen the movie "Notebook" with my wifey. For me thats a very good movie. Rachel McAdams she's simple and pretty .

[xctofi]

Just watched the 25th anniversary edition of "Cannibal Holocaust" last night. Best gore movie ever. My wifey lost her appetite after watching the movie. recommended for those who wants to go on a crash diet

The special effects are quite convincing. could have past for the real thing if u ask me

[xiaofeng]

Man they killed a turtle in that movie....


Those who like these kinds of gore movie, watch Hostel in g4 (did'nt see it showing anywhere else yet) just seen it.....its a torture guaranteed

[joes]

- all time favorite movie of mine. it's so cheesy it's cool.

[MR.McMuffin]

city of god, munich

[sabretooth]

Just saw "Crash"...it deserves the Oscar.

[plankton_dash]

ICE AGE 2

Funny, amazing special effects...I like the first one better, though. This version is almost like a 'generic' adventure cartoon movie (i.e. Disney-esque). But congratulation are in order for having more screen time for Scrat

Thinking if Getting a Health Card Insurance?

Try Watching this film first.
(I think am starting to see a similar experience with my health insurance company. hehehe)




John Q. Archibald is an ordinary man who works at a factory and takes care of his family. His wife Denise and young son Michael are his world. But when Michael falls seriously ill and needs an emergency heart transplant operation that John Q. can't afford and his health insurance won't cover, he vows to do whatever it will take to keep his son alive. With time and options running out, a desperate gamble becomes his only hope--he takes the emergency room hostage. As John Q. barricades himself inside the hospital along with his unwitting group of emergency room hostages, many of them in need of medical care themselves, he faces off with a veteran lespu hostage negotiator and a quick-tempered lespu chief who both want to bring a swift end to the stand-off.

i liked it better than Brokeback Mountain too (didn't you want to wring Matt Dillon's neck?), although i wish some of the endings weren't too conformist. i liked how ryan phillippe's story ended. it surprised me most.

[Ben Dover]

may tanong lang ako...i saw ermita kasi last night on tv regarding his view on the showing of da vinci code...he wants it banned in phil theaters. di ko rin nabasa yung libro.

pro-banning ba kayo o dehins...why?

[BrusKO]

Ermita's an idiot for even thinking of even banning it. He hasn't even read the book! Not that I've read it already. But the mere fact that even the author says his work is fictional.

Talk about close-mindedness.

[Ben Dover]

ok lang if he's an idiot eh...but i dont think so...isa sa pinaka matalino yatang bata ni gma yan...i think he's trying to make papogi with top clergies...yun ang nakakainis sa akin.

[BrusKO]

Nothing ever is apolitical. Since you said "bata ni GMA yan", maybe the elf is up to something.

['Bee']

So the movie "The Da Vinci Code" will be really banned there in the Philippines? Opening worldwide will be on the 18th of this month and I can't wait to watch it.

I've read the book in one go. Parang 24, you will continue immediately to the next chapter kasi parang bitin. I just don't like the ending.

Yup Bruce, it's close-mindedness. Hypocrites, they are. Here, some clergymen and nuns are even encouraging people to watch or read it.

[qt_kat]

I've read the book and I can't wait to watch the movie. Even if I'm a Catholic, the book did not affect me in any way. It would really depend on the person reading the book or watching the film. If one is deeply rooted and has faith in God then the Church has nothing to be afraid of. Its fiction for crying out loud!

Peace out!!

[allegra]

anyone else have the feeling that parang totoong totoo yung book while your reading it
then when you stop reading you suddenly remember it's fiction hehe
How many times I've googled the Last Supper looking for clues

[>rocketman>]

so what, if J.C. has girlfriend, what's wrong with that, hehehe,

['Bee']

I think it's the issue of the "holy feminine" in the book. The church just can't accept the possibility that Mary Magdalene could be the rightful owner of the title, coz for the church or for most of us she's just nothing but a w h o r e.

[joes]

the movie's gonna raise questions that the church may not be ready to answer. there's nothing wrong with questioning your faith. specially if you were raised from childhood to believe in it. we've all reached the age of reason, of accountability. ask questions. just be careful with what you learn. a little is a dangerous thing.

[Superbad]

can't wait to see how the da vinci code is translated in the film. plus i think that french audrey girl is hot

I also believed he's not(idiot).....It just happened that one of the clergies who came out with the idea of banning DVC was the bishop of Lipa, Batangas. Guess where the "baluarte" of the Ermitas is .....ala eh! ;D

[>rocketman>]

;DWill there be also a film adaptation, of dan brown's thriller Angels and demons,

I have read it in pdf file format,
