We own the night was shown at Robinsons Sta Rosa at its first showing date as in Alabang Town Center. We watched the thing and it was great. We'd like to put it along the line of Miami Vice... and it's way better than this Michael Mann film (should be rare for us to say that a movie is better than Michael Mann's). The pace and build-up makes you really side with the Joaquin Phoenix's character. First time to here Talampunay say "sige tadyakan mo! tadyakan mo!" in a movie house. This brother of River also acts superbly, with a hairlip and all. He easily outstaged Wahlberg... but not Robert Duvall. That guy does not act in film. He wears the role like a piece of clothing and plays it.
Then yesterday, we drove all the way to the I-MAX theater in SM MOA to watch Beowulf. At a steep price of 400 per head, gasoline, toll fee, dinner at Icebergs... we were expecting our money's worth. For a first experience, it well did. After watching, can't think of any other way to watch the movie but in 3-D.
Talampunay just commented that Angelina Jolie's real boobs are not like that. I just said, probably not any more. May be five years ago? She also commented that her face was so made up. Well, wait till you see the one who voiced Beowulf. He's the fat frenchman guy (but tougher than Beowulf) guy in The Departed.
Probably the expertise of Zemeckis is in churning out sequences where you really won't move while you're watching. That Man vs. Dragon scene is probably the best "aerial" combat ever. Then there's also that underwater part added as a bonus. (But wouldnt you have bubbles in your brain if you surface up from deep water like that too fast?)
In any case, the movie kicks... kicks twice in 3D. Watch it in I-MAX if you have 400 disposable.
Although it's not a full-fledged concave I-MAX theater we have here... another story.
