- hoodwinked hard candy -

i watched two movies recently ... the first one is hard candy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424136/) ... 2 words for this one ... gripping and disturbing ... in a nutshell, it's about a kid who tortured a pedophile ... hmmm, i think that sums up the main idea of the film ... sounds simple and boring but brian nelson (film's writer) did a very, very awesome job in making it extraordinary ... i was at the edge of my seat until the end of the flim! ... at taas ang kamay ko kay ellen page who played the kid ... she was cute and scary - at the same time ... exactly how she did that? better watch the film ...

next is hoodwinked (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443536/) ... an animation about stolen recipes in the forest and the search for whoever was stealing them ... the suspects were red riding hood, her granny, the big bad wolf and a woodsman ... they gave their versions of the story ... that part i really liked - it was funny ... but after that, i kinda lost interest in the movie ... i started watching it with my one eye closed ... anyway, as it turned out, the recipe bandit wasn't any of the four ... it was this bunny and his posse ... is it just me or is my description making the movie sound boring???? ... in fairness, it's not ... it has its funny moments - pramises ... the trivia here is that the animation was made by filipinos! ... ok, it was subpar compared to what pixar and disney are making ... just look at the hair of the characters specially red ... but i find the animation cute in a semi clay-like manner ... hoodwinked is not something that i will watch over and over again like shrek or spirited away ... pero worth it namang panoorin ng isang beses : )
