The Tournament [2009]

The Tournament is an Action | Thriller movie and was released in October 2009. This film is filled with assassins wanting redemption. The huge amount of money at stake is quite the motivation.

What this film failed is that the actors quite did not deliver the intensity of their situation. Also, plenty of killers

The Spy Next Door [2010]

The Spy Next Door is an Action | Comedy movie and was released in January 2010. Another good movie from Jackie Chan but somewhat a little light one. This movie is not the typical police story - probably because he's a retired spy in here, or another political influenced flick. The action choreography and stunts were nice, as Jackie is always on his films.

What this movie failed is that the tandem of Amber Valletta (Gillian) and Jackie Chan (Bob) is not quite effective and there's some missing chemistry between them. Probably due to normal life incompetence of a tough CIA spy. LOL!

Boarding Gate [2007]

Boarding Gate is an Action | Drama | Thriller movie and was released in August 2007. The lovely Asia Argento makes this romantic drama so thrilling sexy. It came so natural of her as a drug abuser aiming for a good life through some business but was drag between her old and the new flames.

What this film failed is that the plot of the story was simple yet it was quiet ambiguous as to what Sandra (Argento) should have chosen instead, maybe it was just that complicated in the illegal world of narcotics. Progress was very slow, it also has plenty of fillers, especially those erotic scenes just for some side trip diversion.

This film also brought up a very broad topic that sometimes it's really hard to understand when a person loves. There might be difficulties, maltreatment and other differences between lovers that may produce to love-hate cycle yet both were somewhat still intimate in other ways.

This is a fine sexy thriller movie. I'll have a rating of 5/10 for this film.

From Paris With Love [2010]

From Paris With Love is an Action | Crime | Thriller movie that was released in February 2010. This action-filled movie quite had a simple storyline of a couple of agents trying to stop a terrorist attack in a public area, this time it's Paris - the one with the famous tower.

The tandem between John and Jonathan was effective. The novice, egoistic and ambitious James (Meyers) was trying to cope with the seasoned, cranky and freaky Charlie (Travolta).

What this film failed is that when gathering information to uncover the attack, the source would often be the downtown gang's alley, where drugs, money, and illegals are usually located. It may seem to be very common for a scene.

This is a good movie for a stop-a-terrorist-attack film. I'll have a 6/10 rating for this film.

Fast And Furious 4 [2009]

Fast And Furious 4 is an Action | Thriller movie and was released in April 2009. The entrance of the 1987 Buick GNX is quite a hottie when used in hijacking some truck in the opening scenes. But I guess, the 1970 Dodge Charger R/T would still be the hottest in the film, maybe because it's in the cover poster or maybe Vin loves to have it rolling.

The movie got quite dramatic when Letty was out of the plot though her death. Although Mia tried to stop her brother, but it gave the reason for Dom to chase the "beasty" culprit(s), well thanks to the killer-man within Fenix. Then obviously, it's where the whole movie rotates. The film is just a simple vengeance and justice story acquired through the underground car society. What I loved about the movie were the showroom of some beautiful autos that kept rocking the chasing scenes, well, aside from the lovely Jordana and Gal, I must say.

The film has been nominated and won some awards like the MTV Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and more. I guess the totality of the movie was to display those cars. I'll have a 5/10 rating for this film.

Ninja Assassin [2009]

Ninja Assassin is an Action| Crime | Drama movie and was released in November 2009. It started with how these ninjas were molded into heartless-controlled assassins. Then one transformed elite emerged to be a renegade turning hero. The movie may serve violence and an appetite for vengeance, but it also depicts extreme discipline, brotherhood, secrecy, and love. And the best parts, where I must admit, were the slashing of the limbs, very deadly it is.

The movie packs a bloody and gory action scenes that you might want to set tomato paste and red sauce aside momentarily, a weak stomach might not want to be digesting food, while this movie is up on screen. I think credits also goes to Rain for having the ripped body that went well in the film, it might have been impossible to have his bod photoshopped - LOLS. This is a great movie if you ever dream of becoming a ninja and hog some bloody money. I'll have a 7/10 rating for the movie.

Bigmoneyptc Is A Scam

It has been more than 2 months since I had personally requested a cashout from this PTC site. It was created in May 02, 2009 and would expire on May 02 this year. It has been 9 months since it was launched and has paid more than $230,000.00, Really? Maybe.. Bigmoneyptc is a known PTC site since it is one of the PTC sites that promised for a payment of $1 per ad viewed. Which, by far, exceeded all offers of other PTC sites around. Sounds good, right?

NO! That sounds very good.. I know right away that this is very suspicious, but maybe i was just so curious or was just trying to do something, lol , so I tried it anyway, so as to satisfy my hard-headed feature.. To make the story short, I made it to having cashout and was waiting for 60 days (the length of time to wait for the cold $1,000 USD to arrive), but not even a cent was sent.

What I did?

I logged in today for the last time and viewed my payment history. No surprise, nothing has changed since the day I have requested this cashout.

PROOFS:

• cashout not given
• no response from staff for assistance
• no other payment proofs and mostly negative criticisms
• owner, admin, and staffs are unknown
• an email which is so much alike with that email of another PTC site

This is weird and is very doubtful. How can two different PTC sites have the same email format, the same content and context, and have the same offer? Look at the two images below and see it for yourself.

Click image(s) to view original size.


Note: Encircled are the differences of the two emails, with date and subject as given.

DECISION:

I'm not going to recommend this PTC site to anybody, unless you're a hard-headed as me. And, I will support those that denounces this PTC site. Bigmoneyptc is a scam, and maybe Grandptc too, which is so very highly possible. Also, I will no longer waste something on Grandptc, I'm really not that hard-headed, lolz..
