Where can I watch online for free classic Filipino films?

November 29, 2009 - 2:45 am 2 Comments

I want to watch for free classic Filipino films (1919- 1980s) online…

I’m sorry but you can’t really watch that for free online. It’s a violation of the movies rights. And if you have direct TV try going to channel 2060 or 2063 or some channel around that. I remember my filipino friend mentioning it.

What are some great Mickey Rourke films?

November 29, 2009 - 2:45 am 5 Comments

I saw The Wrestler, and it was awesome!! What are some other of his great films. I looked him up on IMDB, and most of the films he has been in have so-so ratings.

People have already mentioned Angel Heart and Sin City.

Check out Barfly and Spun!

Barfly was written by Charles Bukowski and is a great movie about an alcoholic writer.

In Spun, Rourke plays the role of a methamphatamine cook.

Both of these movies are excellent although harrowing depictions of chemical dependence. Mickey Rourke is fantastic in both of these dark yet occasionally humorous films.

Are you sick of old films and music getting ALL the credit?

November 29, 2009 - 2:44 am 4 Comments

I am. Sure there are some great old movies and music but I’m getting sick of the way they are always being regarded over anything that’s new. They may have influenced the way things are done but it’s no reason to keep putting them up on a pedestal and praising to the high heavens over and over again. By the time it’s the year 3000 when film making and music is vastly different should ‘Citizen Kane’ still be praised and called the greatest movie ever made? I think not. I’m also sick of all this film snobbery where films these days are criticized and always being said to just be lots of special effects and explosions and then this elitist attitude that every film should be in Black and White, contain lots of witty dialogue and force you to think to be any good. It’s the same thing with music. Anything that’s fast or noisy is considered bad. It’s just getting ridiculous that anything that’s ‘cool’ is considered to be inferior. One more thing is that please don’t flame me for this!

With all the remakes there are these days, or movies about decades old cartoons as though all the good ideas have been taken and the old ones need regurgitating, it’s no wonder today’s hollywood films get no credit. I don’t believe they deserve any. But thankfully, there are great foreign and indy films, so we don’t have to totally rely on the past. Citizen Kane isn’t my favorite all time film, but it (and the dense film Birth of a Nation) will always be listed at the top for being so different from the films that came before it. Who knows when, if ever, hollywood will stop making cookie cutter films and make something unique again.

Similarly with music, american pop music used to change decade by decade, now we have rock being regurgitated for 40 years and rap for 30….

Hope you don’t consider this flaming, I just feel passionately that creativity is gone in american pop culture.

Does it annoy you that great action and comedy films don’t win the big Oscars!?

I don’t mean for special effects, I mean the big Oscars like best film and best director.

I would at least nominated Dark Night for best film.

Yes it’s very annoying, I agree with the Dark Night being nominated for best film.

Why does my laptop suddently turn off at times when I am watching a film or playing games?

November 29, 2009 - 2:44 am 6 Comments

My laptop suddenly turns off when I run too many programs or watching a film or playing a game.

Does anyone know why this might me the case.
Thanks for answering.

Perhaps your laptop is overheating:

You may need to clean all the vents especially the fan vents with an air duster (can of compressed air).

It is possible that your fan(s) has failed or is running slow – they might need replacing.

Also make sure you operate your laptop on a solid surface so that air can freely circulate under and around it.

How do they make cartoon films and movies?

November 29, 2009 - 2:44 am 2 Comments

Is it with pictures?

It depends. But if you’re talking about the animated Disney type stuff, they do it first with sketches. Then they paint on glass and layer it. The background is one layer and then each character, movement, and thing the character(s) interact with are on their own glass.

Are Bollywood films relatively portraying the life of the majority of Indians?

November 29, 2009 - 2:44 am 5 Comments

Bollyood films are very glosy and ten to show the life of the midddle class and wealthy this is the current trend at the moment.
Why when majority of population is working class why not make film about raksha wallah etc

NO. Producers just plan and venture Masala films ignoring ground realities of poor and middle class.

Films that start off terrible but improve as they go along?

November 29, 2009 - 2:44 am 3 Comments

There are plenty of films that are good in the beginning but have terrible latter parts. Any films that are the opposite?

I thought Michael Clayton was this way..I walked out of it in theaters because it was terrible,then gave it another chance on dvd and found the last hour or so was pretty good
