Channing Tatum's Tongue Action in 21 Jump Street

There's a funny scene in 21 Jump Street where Channing Tatum does something with his tongue.  It's a pretty hilarious scene but on hindsight, makes you want to have tongue action with him too!  Oh, all the kinky thoughts that go to one's head - even if it were just an ordinary comedy scene!  Well, that scene can make up for the lack of shirtless action from Mr. Tatum from this movie.  I guess his next movie, Magic Mike, will make up for it.

Loved Foxcatcher and Seeing Channing Tatum Wrestle!

Last year, when the Oscars gave the movie Foxcatcher five nominations, I had no idea what the movie was about and why a comedian like Steve Carrel, was able to snag a Best Actor nomination in a very crowded category.

Anyway, this movie's DVD has been on my desk for months now, so I finally popped it in last night to see what the fuss was all about.

OMG! This is probably one of the best psychological true crime dramas that I've seen in a long while and my psychologist friends like Eden Tamayoshould have a field day analyzing the different relationships between the characters and power structures they find themselves in.

Well, one good reason to watch this movie is just to see how f******ly sexy and hot Channing Tatum is! He plays a wrestler in this movie and just watching him almost with no clothes, wrestling with another guy, with almost clothes, is definitely worth the movie ticket price LOL I should've watched this on a theater big screen!

Seriously though, the movie is a very sad story and I was moved because I am always moved when the nicest character in a movie or a TV show is the one that gets the short shrift.

This is not a gay movie and there isn't much published research that says that the main antagonist in this movie was homosexual, but any practicing homosexual can see easily what the character of Steve Carrell wants to achieve. It is the same thing that many gay men do when they see delicious, poor, and out-of-luck men with a body like Channing Tatum.

They take advantage of the situation and do a power trip. Some scenes in the movie show how this happens but they don't explicitly show any gay activity but for gay men who may see it, "alam na" would be the appropriate phrase that they would certainly use.

The director of the movie, Bennett Miller, has been very cautious and very subtle about this treatment and just lets the audience draw their own private conclusions.

Mark Ruffalo, who is nominated this year for a Best Supporting Actor nod for Spotlight, was also nominated for the same category in this movie. This guy SHOULD win an Oscar soon. He's just so effective in delivering the right dose of emotion to the character he's playing, I admit I was in tears at the end of the movie! Mark draws you in to love his character and then bang - the shit hits the fan.

While Jim Carrey a decade ago failed to win Oscar's vote when he turned to dramatic roles, Steve Carrell has been more successful. He's almost unrecognizable - and unlike his many successful comedies - you'd revile his character in this movie.

Like many ordinary people, I have always been fascinated by the frivolities and eccentricities of the obscenely wealthy.

This movie will show you what an emotionally and sexually stunted and physically unappealing human being, with so much wealth at his disposal, can do to hapless mortals like us.

Movie Review: Ryan Guzman Sizzles in Step Up All In

There are actually so many things to like in the latest Step Up movie series, Step Up All In.  I don't know how many they have come up yet, but I started watching this dance movie franchise way back in 2006, when Channing Tatum was still this relatively unknown hot guy has been the springboard of a new host of hot looking guys who can be both models and dancers at the same time!
And that is exactly what Ryan Guzman does in this movie.  It's not difficult to love those puppy eyes and those 6-pack abs and that the guy can dance too is just icing on the cake! And that he can also act just tells you that there are so many goodlooking men like him in Hollywood just wanting to be the next big star.  Channing Tatum eventualy became an A-list actor.  If Ryan Guzman plays his cards right, he could follow Tatum's footsteps as well.

As for the movie, just lay back and relax and just enjoy all the dancing that almost 50-60% of this movie offers!  I love each one of the dance sequences and now that I've actually danced in a big venue, I already know the hard work that each dancer puts in just to do that 3 minute video!  It's definitely hard work guys and I appreciate a lot what the dancers in the movie put in here.  Not only do they have to dance well, they also have to act, at least in a believable manner!

Izabella Miko as Alexxa is our next favorite character in the movie and I believe that if enough gay men watch this movie, Alexxa would be top the next drag queen contest.  She's just so camp and they way she talks and moves her hands and the clothes she wear - truly a drag queen's fantasy!

Well, now that the movies today cost 200-250 pesos per ticket, this would be better seen on a big screen rather than on your tablets or your TVs! All the dance sequences are well-thought off and the cast, the director and the choreographers really did a good job in making everything glossy and flashy and joyful to watch!  Definitely worth the ticket price!

21 Jump Street: Movie Comedy No Resemblance to Original TV Series

Actually, it's fine that the movie version of 21 Jump Street has no resemblance whatsoever to the iconic TV series that launched the career of the then unknown actor, Johnny Depp.  Putting a comedy spin into the mix and enlisting Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as the two detectives reenergizes the franchise for today's young generation.  I really enjoyed watching the movie - although the plot is simple and not complicated.  This is targeted to the young male audience anyway, and it doesn't have to be Goodfellas.  However, like any action movie, it does have many chase scenes and bad guys doing bad things and the victims here are high school students.  I strongly suggest that you watch this movie especially after you had a not-so-good day in the office.  Both guys are hilarious here and it's light fare that you will certainly enjoy.

Five Things I Like in Magic Mike

#1 The picture above is my favorite scene in the movie Magic Mike.  Seeing Alex Pettyfer gyrating like that, priceless! and delish as well!

#2   Just five minutes into the movie and we all get to see Channing Tatum's ass.  Ok!  Thanks!  And we see it again - and again - and again - worth the movie ticket price!  Now onto the DVD version!

#3 I looovvvee Olivia Munn!! So I was really happy to see her in a very interesting role here in Magic Mike.  My favorite scene was her tattoo touching scene on the beach!  She was fantastic in it!  Frankly, I'd prefer HER to be the girlfriend than Cody Horn's character.  Oh well, better write my own movie!

#4 Steven Soderberg's understated direction.  Ok, I am still looking for another Traffic-like movie or Erin Brokovich-like movie from this guy - but still we're waiting.  However, his ability to coax real performances from guys who are not really 'character actors' is impressive!  And I meant Channing and Alex - who are really just pretty faces - but here, you actually care for them!

#5  All the beefcafe scenes!  Yum yum!

Movie Review: 'White House Down' More of A Comedy Romp

I entered the cinema when watching White House Down expecting a gripping thriller.  Instead, I got a comedy thriller with patches of cheesy American patriotism, which I thought was a bit inappropriate for this type of storyline.  Well, all the actors did well, and my favorite was Maggie Gyllenhaal who really tried to provide gravitas to the story, but the audience was laughing all throughout the movie so it kinda throws you off from the seriousness of what's really happening onscreen.

Movies I'm Looking Forward to Watching: Martha Marcy May Marlene

This movie looks pretty interesting! I love thrillers, especially those that don't pretend to be one! Is this girl a schizo or has she lost her sense of reality? Hmmm....yeah, I have to watch the movie to find out, don't I?
