It follows the life of Jesus Christ from his perspective. The novel has been the subject of a great deal of controversy due to its subject matter, and appears regularly on lists of banned books. The central thesis of the book is that Jesus, while free from sin, was still subject to every form of temptation that humans face, including fear, doubt, depression, reluctance, and lust. By facing and conquering all of man's weaknesses, Kazantzakis argues in the novel's preface, He struggled to do God's will, without ever giving in to the temptations of the flesh. In its movie adaptation, The Last Temptation of Christ is arguably Martin Scorsese's most passionate work.It is very rare that a film comes... http://bunchofdreams.multiply.com/reviews/item/10 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:34:38 -0000 Marian Did you ever imagine what you are now or what you could have been if you grew up being abducted since age 3?

Annie Proulx's story Brokeback Mountain stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as young cowboys named Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar. Each of them is hired to corral sheep on the title location and they soon bond very closely.

Although the two follow different life paths -- one becoming a father of two and the other marrying into a successful business -- they have a reunion years later. Each is affected profoundly by the rekindling of their old feelings for each other. Those feelings lead each to consider what continuing their hidden relationship would cost them.

Based on a 1967 incident, it was premiered in 1982 and was shown in other countries. The film stars the Filipino actress Nora Aunor, who is best known for her performance as Elsa in this film. The role was considered by some critics to be the best performance in her career. The film is centered on the issues of religious faith and faithlessness. In a notable line from the film, the character Elsa says, Walang Himala! Ang himala ay nasa puso ng tao... ang himala ay nasa puso nating lahat. (There is no miracle! A miracle is found in a heart of a person... a miracle is found in all of us!) This line is well-known in the Philippines, and is considered the most famous line in Aunor's career. The film was a box-office hit, earning an impressive 30 million pesos, becoming one of the highest grossing Filipino films in the 80's. ... http://bunchofdreams.multiply.com/reviews/item/6 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 14:10:35 -0000 Amadeus <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vcNRk_Rr5gk/R2iLUKKtO_I/AAAAAAAAASI/X8LkguBoLRo/s1600-h/Amadeus.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vcNRk_Rr5gk/R2iLUKKtO_I/AAAAAAAAASI/X8LkguBoLRo/s200/Amadeus.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5145515752713698290" /></a>Directed by Milos Forman One of my family's favorite. My son Raham just love Mozart, his music. Please read on: Amadeus is a rarity: a dramatic film made by people who understood music as much as filmmaking. A celebration of music and genius, the film exults over Mozart's seemingly divine creations even as it refuses to canonize the man behind them. Instead, the decision to tell the story from Salieri's point of view provides a justly critical portrait of Mozart, and in so doing so it provides a commentary on genius that mines trenchant insight from resolute objectivity. That Mozart's music is beyond reproach is never called into doubt; likewise, that the man himself could be utterly reproachful is also beyond question. Paradox is at the film's core, both in the presentation of Mozart and his music, and in the character of Salieri, who managed to be both Mozart's greatest fan and most punishing detractor. In making this sort of paradox its central theme, Amadeus is one of the m... http://bunchofdreams.multiply.com/reviews/item/5 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 03:17:16 -0000 City of God <a rel="nofollow" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vcNRk_Rr5gk/R2U2z6KtO-I/AAAAAAAAARs/zX93ClvKE_M/s1600-h/city.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vcNRk_Rr5gk/R2U2z6KtO-I/AAAAAAAAARs/zX93ClvKE_M/s200/city.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144578414756051938" /></a>Directed by Fernando Meirelles The film tells the story of life in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, in an area known as the Cidade De Deus, the City of God. The story is told from the narration of the young photographer, Rocket. The different scenarios of life that make up the wider-story are presented in Pulp Fiction style chapters, complete with on-screen titles for each different story component. The story covers all the facets of the life, charting the growth of several key members of the gangs from childhood through to young adulthood, with their transformation from young hoodlums to local drugs barons. The final parts of the story focus on the battle within the Cidade De Deus between two different groups, when business and personal matters lead to an unavoidable confrontation. And what a confrontation it is, although details will not be given away here. The result is a powerful telling of life based around real-life events.

To Seita and his four-year-old sister, the helplessness and indifference of their countrymen is even more painful than the enemy raids. Through dessperation, hunger and grief, these children's lives are as heartbreakingly fragile as their spirit and love is inspiring. Grave of the Fireflies is a tale of the true tragedy of war and innocence lost, not only of the abandoned young, but of an entire nation. I was teary-eyed after watching this film. Maybe because I immersed myself (I mean my kids) too much into the situation/s that the main characters have been through. I must say that this is the best animated film I ever saw to this date and the only war film that really made me focus my attention into. I watched it together with wife and kids and believe me, it just struck us... leaving us all teary-eyed.

Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you're the Terminator, for an instant you're probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly she can get back her focus on what's important. A year ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of taxi cab in Cubao. Here's what happened. I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for LRT Cubao Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a passenger jeepney jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches! The driver of the jeepney, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly. So, I said, "Why did you just do that?
