Wednesday Movie Guide

National Treasure is now on its third week at NCCC Cinema 2. The movie leads the Top 10 Box Office Hits (US and Canada) with a weekly ticket sales of $36.5 million. National Treasurer has earned an estimated $199 million as of January 21, since its release last December 2007.


Will Smith's I am Legend, number 3 in the Top 10 Box Office List, is not on its second week here in Davao City. It's amazing how Smith can hold almost the whole movie with only himself and his dog Sam as the active characters (if you don't count the zombies). Not surprising though considering his antiques in MIB. But this time, Smith plays a different character, that of a military doctor trying to find a cure for a virus (to which he is immune) and trying to stay sane in his aloneness.

Wednesday Movie Guide

The Queen is back! And with a vengeance.

I thought I was seeing double when I was told there's a new Elizabeth movie. And why not when I already watched that in 1998. Turns out that the new "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" is already part II. The first one being the Academy Award winning "Elizabeth" which was shown in 1998 (minus Joseph Fiennes). Another thing which made me look twice is the fact that both Elizabeth movies starred my favorite Cate Blanchett but she looked different in both posters, the second and newest one looked more like a Joan of Arc than an Elizabeth. I still have to watch part 2 tonight but the first was a great movie. A real tearjerker with lots of history. This is what I like about movies like these--include National Museum, National Treasure, 300, etc---they give us a not-so boring detail of history. However, make sure you do some research as some of the history depicted in the movies may be twisted after all.

It seems the National Treasure (NCCC Mall only) and Bee Movie are still showing at SM cinemas 1 and 3 respectively so you can still catch them. Here's the movie schedule for this week. One of Datelinedavao's visitors asked why there's no Gaisano Mall listing here---will try to do that when I have more time to go to Bajada.
