Penstalker will offer you more movie reviews of both international and foreign movies that are screening on Philippine movie houses. A lot of movie critics consider Jason Statham a B-movie actor. They might be justified because of his track record with “The One”, “The Tranporter” 1& 2, and “Rouge War”. The Bank Job is...

Prom Night is a movie about a prom gone bad thanks to a teacher who’s so obsessed with his student that he just has to kill everyone else! Watch the movie only if you have a bad experience with your Prom Night and you just want some of your classmates to perish off the...

I enjoyed Night at the Museum. The movie dealt with fatherhood—how the character portrayed by Ben Stiller learned to be responsible and help his kid become closer to him. In the process, he became a more responsible father. Ben Stiller is back! Together with Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, Rocky Gervais, and more recently Christopher...

I enjoyed the kickass action and breath-taking stunts and visuals of Hellboy. This year, Hellboy is back with a good deal of kickass action, great punches and a good storyline, too, I hope. Warning though, Hellboy isn’t your typical superhero. At least, we get a break from Superheroes wearing tights, costumes, or a tattered...

Angelina Jolie is back! This time, she’s not doing some melodrama or crying stuff. It’s action man! It’s head-banging, breath-taking, shoot ‘em kind of action. Angelina Jolie is joined by James McAvoy. This time, he isn’t as innocent as Mr. Tumnus in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, or the lovestruck soldier in...
