Who's Playing Renesmee Cullen?

Young Actress Mackenzie Foy is said to play the half-human half-vampire child of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan of Twilight Saga's fourth installment, the Breaking Dawn. I kinda like this girl's look--pale and cute. She's good enough for me to play Renesmee Cullen. As a Twilight Saga fan, I'm pretty excited to see where Director Bill Condon would cut this first part of the saga's last installment. I hope he'd cut it after Bella gives birth to Renesmee. :)

Here's my Renesmee interpretation using Mackenzie's pic.


Updated

Apparently there will be five young actresses that will play the half-vampire, half-human child of Edward and Bella named Renesmee that we’re going to see on the second part of the last installment of the Breaking Dawn that will be shown November of next year.

MacKenzie Foy will be the first Renesmee and she will have Rachel St. Gelais, Sierra Pitkin, Eliza Faria and Christie Burke as Renesmee in stages of her accelerated growth.

I apologize for my poor editing skills J

Sierra Pitkin

Charlie St.Cloud Film Review


SM Megamall Cinema 10
September 27, 2010 7PM
with Malcolm.

Directed by Burr Steers
based on the novel of Ben Sherwood (novel)

Starring
Starring
Zac Efron
Kim Basinger
Ray Liotta
Amanda Crew
Charlie Tahan

I was once again lucky enough to get invites to a red carpet premiere of a film, this time for Charlie St.Cloud starring Zac Efron which will have a wide release on September 29. I was quite surprised with how Zac Efron matured as an actor. I'd say I'm very much impressed with his Charlie St.Cloud persona where you could easily feel his pain for losing his brother.

Charlie Tahan who played his kid brother Sam was very good as well. The over-all presentation of the film was good. Nice sceneries, very melancholic, great camera shots though, it's a bit predictable because I easily pointed out to my friend during the film that Tess (his love interest)




I would give a good recommendation for the film not because it is that great but because it is a feel good film which will make you realize that "sometimes we have to let go of some things in order for us to move on" and how people are getting second chances for a reason.

I'll give it a 7.5/10 ratings.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole Film Review

Gateway Cineplex Cinema 5-3D
September 24, 2010
with Malcolm.
P270.00

Directed by Zac Snyder

Starring
Jim Sturgess
Geoffrey Rush
Emily Barclay
Anthony LaPaglia
David Wenham
Ryan Kwanten
Helen Mirren
Sam Neill
Hugo Weaving

I've high expectations for this film and I was just a bit disappointed with it's lack of excitement. I love that it's almost in full 3D and I enjoyed it visually but was ultimately let-down by the whole story. I can't find the 'spunk' that I saw in its trailer. Graphics are exemplary --the best thing about it is its musical score. It's not that bad of a film and I would consider watching it for the second time but I still won't enjoy it as much as my friend Malcolm did. The audience' consensus was like "It was just an OK film."


Ratings: 6.5/10

M. Night Shyamalan' Devil Film Review


SM Megamall Cinema 6
September 21, 2010
Red Carpet Premiere
with Dominic

Director by John Erick Dowdle

Produced by M. Night Shyamalan, John Erick Dowdle, Drew Dowdle and Sam Mercer

Starring Chris Messina, Bojana Novakovic, Bokeem
Woodbine


I've got a couple of invites for the premiere night of "Devil," being the first of The Night Chronicles Trilogy by its producer Mr.Shyamalan. (thanks PEX) I wasn't expecting much for this film since I'm not really a big fan of this genre.

I find the whole film a bit stereotypical with the Devil taking advantage of one man's soul and the protagonist redeeming himself in the end --which eventually prevents the devil from taking his soul.

It was a bit draggy at the beginning and it just continue to build up by the time everyone in the audience have guessed who really the devil was with it's premise of five people being trapped inside an elevator and one of them is the Devil.

So Who is the Devil?




I'd give it a 6.5/10 ratings.

Just watch out for it on DVD.

Resident Evil: Afterlife Film Review



Gateway Cineplex
September 9, 2010
with D. P171.00


Director: Paul W. S. Anderson

Starring: Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Wentworth Miller, Kim Coates, Spencer Locke, Shawn Roberts, Boris Kodjoe

If not for Milla Jovovich, I wouldn't even give this 4th installment of Resident Evil any good credits --if there's even any. I was so disappointed that I started to think "What's 'effin happening to Hollywood?." Where are the good 'ol action/ horror/ thriller films? Where's the subtance of this film? Why the repetitive scenarios? Why the Matrix rip-off? Why Oh Why??????


It's just all too

And can I just add how comical it was to have Michael Scofield (ehem, I mean Wentworth Miller) to play Chris Redfield -- Claire's brother.

Two reasons to love this film: Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter.


Ratings: 3.5/10

Despicable Me Film Review

Gateway Cineplex 7
P181 with D.



Directors: Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud, Sergio Pablos

Starring: Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier, Elsie Fisher

Watching this film was truly a delightful experience because it's dubiously funny, free-spirited and well --very touching.

There's a lot of good things to talk about this film.

First, there's Gru - claiming to be a super villain (Steve Carell is genius!), how I love his accent! Gru is such a character to watch -- a very tender soul inside but a funny and kind of evil in a weird/ humorous way in person.



and then the Minions, they are just the cutest thing ever - they're funny, smart and dependable! LOL


There's the three orphan girls namely Margo, Edith and Agnes -- they're just so adorable!

There are tons of good scenes in this film but my favorite would have to be the part when they went to the Super Silly Fun Land and Gru got that Fluffy Unicorn toy for Agnes! It was just so hillarious!


I could watch this film a million times and still laugh and be moved by it. It's a perfect family movie!


I'd give a deserving 9 /10 ratings for this film.

The Last Exorcism Film Review


Eastwood Cinema 3
P181 with malcolm


Director: Daniel Stamm
Starring
Patrick Fabian
Iris Bahr
Louis Herthum
Ashley Bell


Last night my friend Malcolm and I were choosing to watch between Despicable Me and The Last Exorcism and we opted to watch the latter thinking that It'd only be release for a limited time. Just how we regretted choosing this film!It's probably one of the worst films I've seen in ages -- It's "Paranormal Activiy" gone bad.

What's so wrong about this film?

- The Trailer was way better than the film. You'd wish it was as short as the film's teaser.
- The film was trying too hard to scare with a little success. (meh-- because It ain't scary at all.)
positive?

There are a couple of startling scenes but that's just the consolation you would get from watching it. Actors were good specially the girl playing Nell (Ashley Bell)

Ratings: 4.5/10
