My Top Five Movies of 2008

5. ) Quantum of Solace- Daniel Craig's second outing as James Bond continues where Casino Royale left off. It's nice to see Bond once again in a high octane non stop Action. Although James Bond doesn't have any gadget here, still the movie delivers and it didn't failed to impress moviegoers and my self..

4.) Kung Fu Panda- Basically this movie is my kid's choice for this year. Po and Company gave a hilarious performance. Could give Shrek a run for his money.

3.) Iron Man – Summer's first blockbuster hit and the movie that revitalizes Robert Downey's career. This comic book hero turn to movie can be lined up alongside Batman and Spiderman, great cast and script, nice effects,pace and action.

2.) The Dark Knight - Batman does it again, almost becoming the highest grossing movie of all time. The Dark Knight broke almost every box office records everywhere. Also Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker somehow got others curious to watch this movie. But it's definitely one of the Best Batman movie. I can also consider it as one of the best sequel, better than Batman Begins.

1.) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull- I admit that I am BIG Indiana Jones, seeing the daredevil archaeologist in the big screen after nineteen years was such a great feeling. The action, the adrenalin was still there. Although Indy's a little bit old, couldn't wait for his next adventure.

How about you? What's your top five movies of 2008 ? Feel free to comment.

Head for adventure with Lego Indiana Jones

Lego Indiana Jones is a very enjoyable game.... the best lego game so far in my opinion. the game had a great tone to it ....kept me entertained and made the overall feel of the game good. Also the puzzles and difficulty level were great considering the wide range of gamers that got it ..

I easily give this game a 9 ....and i would greatly recommend this game to anyone without a doubt...
though this game has a few flaws like character communication and actions that can get a little aggravating at times ..its not enough to make me not want to play it ..if anything it makes me play more to beat the challenge.

Plus the game keeps you entertained by offering funny videos and obstacles .I think everyone with a psp should get this game ...and those who got this game ...along with me is now looking forward to the lego batman.

My kid liked it, so probably your kid will also like it. It's about time you introduce your kid to the daredevil archaeologist.

Get one now and enjoy Indy's adventure.

If you haven't seen the Mummy 3, read this....

We just saw the movie, The Mummy : Tomb of the Emperor Dragon yesterday. My family and I have been fans of the series since the beginning cause it was just like an Indiana Jones movie because Indy have been missing in action when the first Mummy was released.

Rick O'Connell kid is already a grown up and this time the country is in China. Jet Li plays a power hungry emperor who will get whatever he wants at all cost.

The action sequences are superb, brilliantly paced by director Rob Cohen. The effects are top notch except for the three headed dragon. The three headed dragon looks like a cartoon.

The Mummy 3 is a roller coaster ride from start to finish just like the first two, this one is a good addition to the series.

Looks like Rick O'Connell is passing the torch to his son, Alex O'Connell played by Luke Ford.

It seems that we have a brewing rivalry between Alex O'Connel and Mutt Williams ( Indiana Jones son ) in the future when their dad retires.

One great mistake in this movie is not casting Rachel Weisz back. Maria Bello maybe pretty but I love Rachel Weisz more, besides Rachel is more beautiful and sexier.Maria Bello's version is an overkill of the character.

If you're looking for fun and enjoyment, this one's for you.

Go see Indiana Jones 4

It has been nineteen years since we last the wisecracking and daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones in the big screen. I was still in first year high school when The Last Crusade was shown.

Now that I have a family of my own, It's time to introduce my kid to my Idol. Yesterday, I brought along my family to watch it and my son was excited to see Indiana Jones on the big screen for the first time. Harrison Ford may have grown old , but still got that killer moves that makes him an Icon. He is my favorite actor since watching him in the Temple of Doom.

All the Indiana Jones elements are still in this film. Action, Adventure,Comedy. Name it,you got it. Steven Spielberg still directs it amazingly.


The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull starts off with Indiana Jones being held by the Russians who managed to sneak into the warehouse of the Top Secret Facility of the U.S. Government. The Lost Ark of the Covenant have a brief cameo appearance here, so keep your eyes very closed.

From then on it was a roller coaster ride, Tug of war for the Crystal Skull as to who can bring it back to where it rightfully belongs. It's a fast paced film so don't blink at all, you don't wanna miss highlights after highlights.

There are three things that I noticed here unlike in the three previous film.

First is the Location. I don't know if George Lucas and Co. are on a budget. Only two countries are shown here,US and Peru unlike the first three its an around the world adventure.

Second, too much CGI especially the cliff scene and the Aztec Pyramid. It was too obvious that it was CGI. You cannot see the natural light of the Sun. I guess no one can replace it. The first three was full of beautiful scenery like Egypt,Italy, India and Hong Kong.In the three previous films,you can see the natural beauty of the SUN.

And last, Indiana Jones used to looked for religious artifacts, but now Aliens. Aliens have been touted here as the Gods of the Aztec civilization. This maybe its weakest point,making it the less realistic among the series. Unless of course you believe in Aliens.
Its like Indiana Jones crossing over the Star Wars world.

But nevertheless, nineteen years is worth for the wait. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an enjoyable movie from start to finish. Bring your kids along to see it in the Big Screen.

Guillermo Del Toro for The Hobbit

The Hobbit is finally confirmed to be filmed. Although this time Peter Jackson( the genius behind the Lord of the Rings Trilogy) won't be manning the direction for this film adaptation.

Instead Guillermo del Toro ( Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth) will direct the prequel for the Lord of the Rings saga.

They are going to make it into a two movie, which I think is not a good idea. The Hobbit is just too short and I dont think you need to prolong it.Maybe the producers are thinking about more of their profits for this highly anticipated film.

Although he is a great visual director, expect that the visuals of the Hobbit changes from that of The Lord of the Rings. When a film series changes a director, the series transform into a new world is far from different from the one that we are used to. Example of this, the one that happens to Harry Potter, the first two were magical. But when Chris Columbus begged off for th third, the magic was gone.

Another one is the Batman series, Tim Burton's world is very different from Joel Schumacher that's why the last two suffered badly. Good thing they revived it with Christopher Nolan, who also directs the sequel The Dark Knight.

Thanks to Steven Spielberg, he still handles the latest Indiana Jones that is why it is one of the highly anticipated movie this summer.

Let's just wait what will happen to the Hobbit. Hope it would be a good one.

Check out the new Indiana Jones trailer

Get ready for a LEGO Indiana Jones

First it was the Star Wars Universe, and then it was Batman’s turn. Now it’s everyone favorite swashbuckling, daredevil archaeologist Indiana Jones turn to metamorphose into LEGO.

LucasArts will soon release the Indiana Jones in LEGO format in time for this year’s release of the new Indiana Jones film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I’ve heard that this game will be based on the trilogy instead of the new movie.

The characters in the game are much more in tune with their surroundings and are much more physically active as they encounter puzzles, traps, and enemies. For example, you can pick up objects in-game and use them to battle enemies, solve puzzles, light fires or barrels of gunpowder. On top of that, characters are quite athletic and can now climb ropes and swing on vines, swim, and shimmy hand-over-hand across ledges. All of these open up a variety of gameplay options, That LEGO Star Wars were previously unable to offer players.
The core technology is based on the same engine, but with significant upgrades to allow for the new gameplay elements previously described. That's also not to mention the fact that the game is visually striking and really communicates the unique environments that Indy has the good fortune to visit.
Indy is a natural fit for a game like this that encourages exploration, adventure, and cooperative gameplay, as well as a healthy dose of humor.
I just hope that this game will be available to all gaming console, this is one game to watch out for.
