Review: A Moment in Time

 The unlikely love team of Coco Martin and Julia Montes was successful in the soap opera Walang Hanggan last year so it’s no surprise that a movie came soon after. A Moment in Time starts off with sweet tone (albeit a little creepy) but unfortunately it only lasted for about 15 minutes as a shift in the story backfired.

During a public transport ride, Patrick (Coco Martin) sees Jillian (Julian Montes) and was easily smitten. Patrick pursues Jillian and soon won her heart over but an incident in Jillian’s past threatens their relationship.

Let’s be honest, the initial premise of the story is a stalker’s dream and you would really have to stretch your suspension of disbelief so as not to get bothered on how Patrick chases Jillian. But Coco Martin is just a charming man so he makes this character lovable despite the creepy nature. And for a moment it actually worked because you would actually root for this couple but then the story shifts to a tragic twist and then the story crumbles.

The twist is such a contrived attempt to add drama to the story but instead of moving the story forward it just made the story stagnant and it struggled to get one point to another. Patrick who started lovable then became a confused mess. You just don’t understand what his intentions are anymore. After finding out Jillian’s past which affected his personal life he still pursued her and when they became a couple he breaks up with her for a reason that is not actually connected with Jillian’s past. I feel like that there’s a missing scene or two to drive that conflict. So when Patrick reveals to Jillian the secret it didn’t have the emotional impact that they were attempting to have. The story then shifts to have several chases, literally speaking, from the Philippines to Amsterdam. And there’s one last attempt to create conflict with a third party that came out of nowhere who then gives out a dramatic speech of letting go as if we knew the character all along.

A Moment of Time just didn’t work. Yes, it had a few moments of kilig but it was not enough to sustain interest as the decision to go to a melodramatic route barely held the story together. 4 / 10

Spotlight: Kahit Na by Toni Gonzaga

Marion Aunor's If You Ever Change Your Mind is still my favorite among the top 12 finalists of Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs but Kahit Na written by Jumbo De Belen won me over because of its fun music video. This song is perfect for Toni Gonzaga as she's the only contemporary recording artist I can think of who can pull off such a goofy song like this. It's also a breath of fresh air almost all the songs in contention are serious. Here's the music video produced by UP Diliman:

Billboard Hot 100 (Issue Date: Feb. 16, 2013)

Macklemore and Ryan's Thrift Shop logs its 3rd consecutive week at #1  atop the Billboard Hot 100. will.i.am feat Britney Spears' Scream & Shout zooms to a new peak at #. Two songs cracks the top 10 this week, Pink's Try which climbs #11-#9 making it her 13th top 10 hit while Calvin Harris feat Florence Welch's Sweet Nothing climbs #14-#10, this is the 2nd top 10 for Calvin Harris and first for Florence Welch. Welch is the frontwoman of the Florence + The Machine which highest charting hit is Dog Days are Over at #21. Longest chart sitter Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye feat Kimbra spends its 57th week on the chart on its 57th week on the chart.

Review: Chinese Zodiac

Chinese Zodiac’s main marketing push is that this is Jackie Chan’s final action movie and if this is indeed true, Chan’s action career will go out on a high note. Chinese Zodiac’s story lacks focus but does it really matter when Chan’s astonishing stunt work is more than enough to keep the viewer interested?

Treasure hunter JC (Jackie Chan) and his team of thieves travel the world to hunt down and recover the twelve bronze heads of the Chinese Zodiac but they soon meet a group of activists fighting for preservation of Chinese cultural relics which complicates their mission.

The movie is dubbed in English and in some areas it was a little jarring due to off synch dialogue and mismatched voices. The story is pretty much your standard adventure flick although it tries to tackle a broader topic with a deeper message but didn’t hit it off flawlessly because of its tendency to be preachy. There’s also a bunch of story threads thrown together and a plethora of unnecessary characters, which makes the movie a little confusing at times. I also felt that the threat was not fully established so even if the stake is high it just doesn’t’ feel like there’s imminent danger.

 But just like most Jackie Chan action flicks, it’s really all about the amazing set pieces and jaw dropping stunt work. And as always, Jackie Chan delivers. Chan is truly a legend and the way he pulls off all those stunts is simply impressive. The highlights are the sofa showdown and the skydiving scramble. Chan is just a lovable star as he can make some of the silly jokes and antics still endearing. The supporting cast is okay and while the movie tries to give most of them a moment to shine, it’s just a tall order to stand out if you have someone as charismatic as Chan anchoring the movie.

If there’s one thing that Chinese Zodiac proves, it is that there’s a strong reason Jackie Chan is so popular and why many considers him as a pop culture icon. In this movie, he showcases why he won the hearts of many people worldwide. If this is indeed his final action movie, his presence in the big screen will surely be missed. Do I wish that his final action movie had a stronger storyline? Definitely but Chinese Zodiac was still a good reminder why Jackie Chan will always be one of the most treasured stars of all time. 7 / 10

Review: Gangster Squad

Gangster Squad is based on a true story and while a premise like this is often given the license to stretch the truth for cinematic effect, it still should still have a hint of emotional reality. While the movie’s strong cast saves Gangster Squad from being a total dud, the movie’s detachment from reality is a disappointment.

Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker (Nick Nolte) assigns police officer John O’Mara (Josh Brolin) to form a squad that will take down gangster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) and his group of gangsters who have recently taken over the city of Los Angeles. O’Mara is determined to put an end to Cohen’s businesses in any means even if it’s breaking the conventional law.

To Gangster Squad’s credit, its stylized action sequences are snappy and quite enjoyable to watch. The production design was also successful to make you feel the authenticity of the era the movie was set in. But while the premise is quite interesting, the movie didn’t fully maximized the story’s potential and went with an action blockbuster route that oftentimes made the movie feel more cartoonish than it should be.

The story is cluttered with crime movie clichés, predictable plot turns and unnecessary characters and subplots. The chemistry between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone is sure good (as evidenced in their first team up in Crazy Stupid Love) but their story in Gangster Squad is so underdeveloped that there was a scene in the kitchen which suggests that their relationship is on a deeper level already. But the weird thing is that prior to that scene there was no real build up that they connected beyond sex. Most of the acting is over the top (and sometimes borders on self-parody) especially Penn but for what is worth they are fun to watch in some scenes.

Gangster Squad is not that awful but it’s just unremarkable. It could be considered a mindless mob movie but still it’s quite a shame that a good ensemble and fascinating premise were wasted on a so-so effort.

Rating: 5 / 10

Billboard Hot 100 (Issue Date: February 9, 2013)

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Thrift Shop logs a second week at #1 on this week's Billboard Hot 100. The song is dominating both sales and online streaming and is currently rising quickly on the radio airplay charts so don't be surprised if the song will at least spend six weeks at #1. There's not much changes in the top 10 week aside from rapper A$AP Rocky's song F**kin' Problems jumping to the top 10 this week. It leapfrogs Pink's Try which has been looming in the top 10 for the last few weeks and is now just a notch closer (#11). Justin Timberlake's Suit and Tie slides #4-#13 as the song sales dropped this week after the strong initial sales weeks boost it received last week. The song is still selling steadily and rising in both airplay and online streaming so it will likely return in the top 10 anytime soon. Finally bowing out is Ellie Goulding's Lights which spent 57 weeks on the chart peaking at #2. Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know is now the longest chart sitter with 56th week on the chart (it rises #45-#44 this week). Also exiting the chart this week are Taylor Swift's three-week #1 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together which charted for 24 weeks and One Direction's Live While We're Young which was on the chart for 16 weeks, peaking at #3.
