What's your VANTAGE POINT ?


If there is one movie that is definitely worth seeing this weekend, it must be Vantage Point. It has been long overdue and now we can finally have the chance to see it. I’ve been seeing its trailers in almost every Columbia Pictures DVD as early as last year. I just hope that it’s worth the wait. This is my top movie choice for the week.

8 Strangers. 8 Points of View. 1 Truth.


In Columbia Pictures' "Vantage Point," Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox), are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) an American tourist video taping the historic event to show his kids when he returns home. Also there is Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. It's only as we follow each person's perspective of the same 15 minutes prior to and immediately after the shooting that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.


It will mark the first action thriller film of Lost’ Matthew Fox. From my Vantage Point of view it will be worth seeing.


CHARLIE BARTLETT also seems interesting.Anton Yelchin ("Alpha Dog") stars as Charlie Bartlett, who has been kicked out of every private school he ever attended. And now that he's moved on to public school, he's simply getting pummeled. But when Charlie discovers that the kids who surround him - the outcast and the popular alike - are secretly in desperate need, his entrepreneurial spirit takes over. Hanging up his shingle in the Boys' restroom, Charlie becomes an underground, not to mention under-aged, shrink who listens to the private confessions of his schoolmates, and makes the imprudent decision to hand out the pills he's proffered from his own psychiatric sessions. Meanwhile, at home, Charlie keeps charming his way out of an inevitable confrontation with his adoring but utterly overwhelmed mother Marilyn (Hope Davis.)

LOST.......IN REVIEW


From the very first episode of LOST in season 1 to its finale in season 2, the show is just explosive. Keep you glued to the boob tube and clamoring for more.

4,8,15,16,23 and 42 these numbers are history as same with the hatch, But who knows, maybe the writers will still come up with these numbers again in season 4, considering that it is connected to Hurley ( Jorge Garcia ).

Season 3 started brutally, with Sawyer ( Josh Halloway ) being tortured. The show just makes you wanna kill one of them hostiles, just show how bad these hostiles are.

My favorite episode would have to be the one where Hurley found a van along with some beer and a dead driver( which we would later found out that it was Benjamin’s Dad). That episode is just so heartwarming, despite all of their difficulties, dangers they’ve experienced in the island, they still manage to put a smile in their face and have some fun.

As for Kate ( Evangeline Lily), she’s now torn between Sawyer and Jack ( Matthew Fox) , although she made out with Sawyer in his cage, which Jack saw and was jealous of. Keeps you guessing who really likes, although at the season finale, Jack admits to Kate that he loves her, which somehow that scene thrilled my wife.

It’s also saddening that my favorite little hobbit on the show, Charlie ( Dominic Monaghan ) died at the season finale, well everything happens for a reason in the island as the cliché goes. My family will surely miss his character.

The back story got me confused a little bit, I thought I’m seeing Jack in the past, but lo and behold, it was not a back story instead were seeing the future of what happens to him after being rescued. He looks haggard, sort of a nut case with a beard. I must commend the show for the twist in its story and how it was delivered.

Season 3 answered a lot of question like where did Benjamin and Juliet came from. We found out that Benjamin Dad was working with Dharma Initiative and that he was the reason why these Dharma people was wiped out.

Season 3 left me a lot of question ; Who are these hostiles and where do they come from ? If it wasn’t Desmond girlfriend, then who are the people who will rescue them? And of course my important question is at the future story, why did Jack tell Kate that they have to go back?

I’m feeling LOST right now, can’t wait for Season 4 till next year and also its release on DVD this fall, I wonder if what are the special features.
