MOVIE DATES

Which one was worth the popcorn calories?

TRANSFORMERS 3: DARK of the MOON

Above:

We watched this on 3D for free!

(Oh, life's simple joys!)

Our rating: 3 of 5 popcorn tumblers

Sabay pa kami nang matapos, "Overrated."

But the 3D work was really impressive.

We watched on Day 2, right after hearing

all about the Opening Day hype.

We expected way too much.

IF YOU ARE THE ONE

Sana rom-com na lang all throughout.

It went dramatic in the middle, na-off ako.

Taiwanese actress Shu Qi's so pretty.

Buti na lang masarap siya panoorin, hehe.

BIUTIFUL

We liked Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel more.

But Javier Bardem's performance is superb, as usual.

Warning:

Make sure you're in a beautiful mood when you see this one.

Too sad.

X-MEN FIRST CLASS

We were pleasantly surprised!

Maganda ang storya --

which is always the backbone of a good movie, right?

Bonus: Another title we got to see for free!

Thank you to our "Fairy Godmother."

SUPER 8

Failed miserably at being 2011's version of E.T.

Good thing we didn't pay for the tickets, hehe.

Another free movie via our "super pass."

RED RIDING HOOD

2.5 of 5 popcorn tumblers

It kept us curious -- who's the big, bad, wolf?

We guessed wrong!

Best thing about it: the cinematography.

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS

(On DVD)

Was pleasantly surprised with this one.

Thought I'd be bored by a period circus film.

Instead, I was so moved by the love story.

Heard the book's even better.

How did you find these titles?
