Defending the Caveman: Lazy Review

(I just realized that I failed to write any kind of introduction, or synopsis to my previous Lazy Reviews, haha; I apologize)

Last Saturday, I watched Defending the Caveman with my classmates and my friend, Star, at the RCBC building in Makati. It's a one-hour comedy show, starring Joel Trinidad, and him alone, about the differences between the sexes. The main premise is that men are 'hunters,' and women, 'gatherers;' this is used throughout the performance to explain most every disparity between man and woman.

Acting - excellent. I wouldn't even call it acting.
Script - excellent. Funny, witty, with just the right amount of obscenity. Haha.
Production design - good. Every piece onstage served a purpose and fit the story (?) well.
Lights and sounds - good. Though most of the time it's really just Mr Trinidad onstage delivering his piece.
Director - excellent.

Rating: 10/10
This was pure win. I would even call it enlightening. Go and watch this!
You can still catch Defending the Caveman at RCBC Makati this week. Check out this LINK for details.

Nowhere Boy: Lazy Review

Lazy Review on Nowhere Boy (2009)

Acting - excellent Aaron Johnson's a pretty convincing John Lennon; I think I'll settle.
Production design - very good They nailed the set and costume design. And I repeat, Aaron Johnson's a pretty convincing John Lennon. 
Editing - meh Nothing special. Drags at some points. 
Cinematography - meh The flashback scenes are particularly typical. Meh. 
Screenplay - meh/good At times, insightful. But sometimes sentimentality slobbers everywhere. 
Director - good

Rating: 7/10
I sat through it because I'm a John Lennon fan. 
P.S. Apart from the song reference, I don't understand why the movie's called Nowhere Boy. Enlighten me?
  

Source Code: Lazy Review

Lazy Review on Source Code (2011)

Acting - good Though generally good, sometimes I still see actors, not people. 
Production design - meh/good But not really important in this film.
Editing - good In films with this type of story, the repetition usually gets tiring after a while, but that's not the case here.   
Cinematography - meh Nothing special.
Screenplay - very good! The engaging kind of mindgame. Goood.
Director - very good!

Rating: 9/10
Money well-spent. Not really, coz the tickets were free. Haha. Now go and WATCH THIS MOVIE.
