'Pretty Woman' Director Helms 'Valentine's Day'

Directed by Hollywood veteran Garry Marshall, Warner Bros.’ “Valentine’s Day” explores love in all its facets on the one day a year dedicated to the art of expressing it. “The film follows seven intertwining love stories that take place during the course of one day in Los Angeles ,” Marshall explains. “Some characters fall in love, some do not find love, but they try. There are so many emotions that happen on this day–-love, sadness, excitement depression, longing.”

Not Worth Hearing

Not Worth Hearing

Hollywood has long been accused of having run out of ideas. This accusation gains credence with films like Did You Hear About the Morgans?, a new romantic comedy pairing Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker, which doesn’t have its own ideas as much as it takes a lot of existing ideas and smooshes them together into one undrinkable blend. Through all this, Hugh Grant remains painfully likable, but his charm is wearing thin, and projects like these lower his stock even further.

Movie Review for Dear John

All Spark, No Sizzle

All Spark, No Sizzle

The premise of Dear John sounds like a recipe for theatrical dynamite: an epic tale of romance interrupted by war, of a choice between love and duty. That’s the stuff that usually leaves audiences in tears, haunted by tragedy, buoyed by the hope that cinematic love can bring. And yet, Dear John mostly fizzles out, the story simply not blooming in the hands of director Lasse Hallström, whose style simply doesn’t fit this genre of film.

Movie Review for The Princess and the Frog

That Old Disney Magic

That Old Disney Magic

Everybody knows it: Disney isn’t what it used to be. Somewhere along the way, as they transitioned into a new age, they lost whatever magic they had to a bunch of upstarts wielding WACOM tablets and server farms. The new directive was to replicate the success of the modern CG franchises, and the result was a series of lackluster pictures that just didn’t seem true to the Disney aesthetic. But now comes The Princess and the Frog, a delightfully old school animated film that forgoes the trends and simply sticks to what Disney does best. The final product is still a little ways off from their greatest work, but it’s a wonderful indication of things to come from a company hungry to reclaim its name.

Peter Jackson Returns with 'The Lovely Bones'

Peter Jackson Returns with 'The Lovely Bones'

This is literally the return of the King. Peter Jackson is back to what he does best, directing movies. Peter Jackson’s project with Dreamworks on the movie adaptation of Alice Sebold’s 'The Lovely Bones' is finally coming to the Philippines. It is the magnificent and heart – warming little story of the young Susie Salmon, who is raped and murdered and while in Heaven (or the In-between Heaven, as Peter Jackson puts it), watches her family, her loved ones come to terms from her passing and how their lives play out in front of her, including her rapist’s life.

ClickTheCity At Rotterdam 2010: An Interview With John Gianvito

For the past four years, filmmaker John Gianvito has been working on a documentary about the environmental damage around U.S. military bases in the Philippines and the health problems being encountered by the people living in the communities around the area. The first part of this massive project, Vapor Trails (Clark), is over four hours long, which is a testament to the quagmire of issues keeping things in the status quo. He is currently working on the second half of the project, which take a look at many of the same problems in the communities around Subic. I sat down with director John Gianvito to talk about the film.
