Whiplash (2014)
An absolute realization of someone's real potential
By far, the best 2014 movie I've seen. At first, the movie looks like a typical story of an inspired student who wanted to do great with the help of his teacher. But as it progresses, the film takes you to something new, something more beautiful than it already is. Its little twist and turn will make your heart cry, laugh and shout for joy all at the same time.
Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons were equally great and gave life to their characters. I only remember Simmons as a funny guy in Spider-Man movies and Juno, so seeing him in this film is a 360-degrees turn of his usual role showing the actor's real potential. As for Teller, he was over- shadowed with romantic comedies. He had serious role once with Nicole Kidman in "Rabbit Hole" but this film should get him to wide-range of roles in the future (hopefully). There are a lot of takeaways in Whiplash but perhaps, the strongest of all is that you don't limit yourself. Pushing someone beyond their capability is an absolute necessity, as Fletcher(Simmons' character) said in the film. And that must have what writer- director applied in making this film as it transpired to every take, scene by scene.
Ploning (2008)
The Best Filipino Film I've watched
I just had the chance to watch this film yesterday and I really like it. The story, the background music and the beautiful scenery, the acting and all. The story is very touching,the characters are very strong, especially Ploning, how she views life and how she lives with it. The way how the story moves from past to present is splendid. At the end of the film, you can't help but to share the happiness of the characters after going through pains. There is really a sense of fulfillment and contentment.
This is the best Filipino film that I have watched, keep it up guys. Keep on producing films like these. It is really worth the time watching,it is not just entertaining but a life-changing lesson as well.
Good Dick (2008)
"Truly unique love story for me after ETERNAL SUNSHINE AND SPOTLESS MIND"
This is really my first time to write a comment here in IMDb, i just can't help but to say something beautiful about this film. Its really worth it, the casts and its very simple but moving story. I thought Marianna Palka is just someone I missed knowing in her many films,but she is not, she is a new comer, and this is her first film as an actress and as a director. She is really amazing, i can't wait to see her again in more films soon, either in any roles or as a director.
Nice acting too Jason Ritter,at first look i thought you were James Marsden.I think the first time i saw you was in "Raise your Voice".
This is really a very nice film, "a very unique and true love story" (Honestly, the first time i said this was after watching ETERNAL SUNSHINE AND SPOTLESS MIND).
