Mother's Day The Movie: Cliche'd and Unmemorable

This is to remind everyone that before the elections on Monday, Mother's Day sa Sunday ha, kaya call or kiss your Mom, even if magkaiba kayo ng bobotohin!

Well, the Garry Marshall helmed movie Mother's Day brings some of our generation's A-list actresses like Julia Roberts, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson. However, I feel that with such a weak script, they didn't have much to work on.

The movie has some funny and cute moments but it's really a Hollywood formulaic movie through and through. The movie puts too many things into the whole story - may racism, homophobia, the sexy second wife, the insecure divorced Mom, plus all the travails and troubles of a working single mother.

Yun lang, since the actors are all pleasant to watch, ayun, it's easy to go along for the ride. Yeah, you can bring your Mom to watch this. It's pretty lightweight fare.

Movie Review: Really 'Horrible Bosses'

Just before Pedring made landfall Monday night, Vic and I watched this hit comedy movie Horrible Bosses.  I really enjoyed watching Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey in it as they played their 'horrible' roles to the hilt! I bet you've never seen goody-goody girl Jennifer in such a nasty role before!  Here, she's no holds-barred and plays all the sex innuendoes to the hilt!  This is also the first time I've seen Kevin Spacey do a relatively 'light' role so it's a good break from seeing him in something very serious.

I also like Charles Day, the guy Jennifer was flirting with.  Maybe because it's the first time I've seen him that's why his performance sticks to my head.

Over-all it's a very light movie.  Watch Colin Farrell disappear in all that make-up!
