im loving the arguments thrown by both sides.

it's like the "The Da Vinci Code" era... everyone goes ballistic.

at least we proved that people cared and gave a damn about what happened. say goodbye to the apathetic students i once knew :p 

coolness gracious, will this ever end?

for the last 20+ days of my life.

lets begin!

BATMAN BEGINS - funny to watch how the caped crusader makes errors...since it's his first to do crime bashing

THE NUMBER 23 - gives paranoia on a different level. i think Jim Carey tried real hard not be sooo comedy.

MUSIC AND LYRICS - reminds us how to make songs unlike the way songwriters do today (laging sex and sex nalang topic)
Drew Barrymore's childlike/innocent acting complemented Hugh Grant's stuck-up, man...role.

PAN'S LABYRINTH - really an adult fairy tale. i can't help but think if this is a tragedy or a comedy.

TALLADEGA NIGHTS - will ferrell is my god :p

PERFUME - tahimik...tahimik...naririnig ko yung kapitbahay ko naguusap. kidding aside, the movie gave way to smell as a big part of our life. you'd wish to know the scent of the different things they mentioned in the movie. And there's a BIG ORGY somewhere nearing the end of the movie. BIG... i mean really BIG

THE ILLUSIONIST - is something i think is made before or after The Prestige. Deception at it's best. and i never

BORAT - such a waste of time!or maybe im just too old to appreciate this...stuff. REALLY! WASTE...now i appreciated PROOF much better.

V FOR VENDETTA - again. The Ring must leave Rivendell...MR.ANDERSON...fit for the Philippines' current state...during the time it was shown until now.

STRANGER THAN FICTION - something creative i must say. you wouldn't want to ask how it happened after you leave the cinema...you'll want to have "that ability" and make your own version...to someone's life (preferably someone you hate)

Last but not the least,
LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA - starring, Romnick Sarmienta, Monsour del Rosario, Dante Rivero and Kim Atienza. hahahaha

a Japanese story from the mind of an American director. hhmmmm this is the first movie where i almost fell asleep or proabably because 12am na nung mga panahong yun.

try to know your history before watching this. the movie is not a history class...you'll get lost if you don't know what Iwo Jima's significance. kinda dragging i must say.

it's also Ken Watanabe's second movie where he commits suicide. what was the first?

-------

today, it's Little Miss Sunshine AGAIN. i think it's the 3rd time already.

since every one's making reviews, critiques and all that jazz. im also making one! hahahahah (sama sa uso)

in the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas kicks huge persian ass and i mean real huge asses for pride,honor and love of country

i had seen the graphic novel but i haven't read it...obviously, book to movie renditions often become crappy. Kaya i dont want to frustrate myself so i watched the movie first.

here goes...

Kick ass! i loved the fight scenes, (though a lot can be dragging already; Patay dito patay doon.) They were killing those damn persians like cockroaches.

Wave after wave, the enemy gets tougher--from infantry, to cavalry, to uruk-hais(hahaha), ogres, zombies, jedi knights, mammoth tanks, tesla coils, nuke warheads, and a homosexual god-king who has a fetish for piercings. (hahaha nag-adik...sa sobrang daming kalaban inisip namin na baka may mga ganun nga)

kadiri si Xerxes. i think he's 7'7 or something. He had these big hands that could grab my whole face. (although he was a little bit queer in the movie, especially with the "all i want you to do in kneel in front of me" with matching grabbing the shoulders and fingers going elegant) plus his voice sounds very...robotic.

graphically stunning, but not magnificent. There are moment that the scenery were almost flat.

inconsistencies among the number of cast were seen. shots with a lot of spartans behind changing to a shot where obviously a few were there. sometimes, shots are claustrophobic, and was obviously shot in a set.

every time Leonidas talks, he shouts. Galit ata siya sa mundo.

It's almost a no-brainer movie. I almost never wanted to listen to the dialogue. Like usual people who accidentally reads a comic, he would look at the pictures and if by chance he likes them thus he reads the story.

A pumped-up testosterone war movie--consisting of blood and gore (with a little bit of sex), men will always like movies like these (making them more macho).

i wouldn't mind shouting "FOR SPAAAARTAAA!" "PUUUUUSH" "DIIIINNNNEEE IIIINNNN HEEELLLLL" or growl like a tiger after watching this movie.

If you're looking for a movie wherein you want to think and ponder about life (hahaha) or good story-telling, this is not a good choice. If you're just looking for a good time with friends (YES! watch this with friends. Solo watching is sooooo...i dont know) then Go, have some persian ass-kicking time then hang-out and drink beer (or Vodka my choice). I liked the movie pretty much. But there is something i would call this one...

one word. OVERHYPE.

2.5 :p

tatlong daan.
isa patungo sa pagiging alipin,
isa patungo sa pagiging bayani,
isa patungo sa cinema 1 ng greenbelt3. hahahaha
 

---------------

question!
1. what happened to the persian riding the white horse who sliced the spartan's head off? hmmmm...
2. where did Leonidas took the apple he was eating after the first wave
3. how the hell did the fat persian climbed the temple whereas Leonidas himself had a hard time. (even the priest themselves)
4. a village was supposed to be sacked by persians...but the persians were just arriving
5. Where do they reach the point in training that makes them decide they want to be as smooth and hairless like women? Where do they find all that extra time to shave their chests between killing and fighting? hahaha

and did you know, the substance priests burn during oracle consultaion is almost the same substance as marijuana? Imagine taking advice from somewhere who's pretty much...sabog.

a good example of movies that looks good only in trailers.

a good material gone to waste. supposedly, it's about the expedition of the  ruthless Vikings.

I would applaud it for it's good production design; that's it.

The adrenaline of the fight are watered down due to persistent change of sequences. People go stabbing, to people walking, to walking, to walking, to walking , to stabbing.

There was a lot of draaaaagggging scenes found in the movie.

The movie PERFUME also had more dialogue than this one, consider PERFUME had already less talk.

Considering that one is a huge chasing plot, it had a very slow pace. There will never be a feel of the two clans at each other's necks.

I believe this movie also had the worst fight scene ever. Rather than feeling sorry for the "victims", you'd laugh your ass off and shout "Stupid!" 

May part pa dun na parang discovery channel. hahahaha

"i know who i am"

the last post made no sense. i'm going back to reviewing films :D

actually, this was the movie we've been pondering to watch rather than PATHFINDER.

After the horrid film, i decided to watch this one the day after.

I was furious i chose Pathfinder over this. This movie was heavenly...wicked.

This is about Sheba(Cate Blanchett)--an Art teacher who falls for his student due to marital problems with Richard(Bill Nighy). A fellow teacher Barbara(Judi Dench) who is suppsodely in-love with Sheba discovers the love affair.

The story is narrated by Barbara so we are already hinted on what she was about to do, or think. We, as viewers are helpless in watching as the story ufolds in our very eyes. We already know the plans, the schemes, and what we can do is just sit down and watch it happen.

(i personally liked the style...letting the audience know the result first and letting them wonder HOW it would end up that way)

Dame Judi Dench acted wonderfully. With the synopsis focusing on Cate, it really was about the psyche of the fellow teacher here--how she gracefully manipulated the "problem" to her liking.

i envied the 15-year old student. Damn! a kissing scene with Cate Blanchett?! god. plus a pseudo-bed scene whit her too...lucky boy.

I was torn in choosing my best actress between Helen Mirren(The Queen) and Judi Dench. They were both great.

Moral of the story?
Be sure you're f*cking someone legal.

and it only had one loophole, why didn't she confirmed the one she's...trying to have is a lesbian.

4.5/5

Despite the hurly-burly(s) in the office and the requirement for class, who'd have the time to unwind?

Booze was the only solace for me during the past few weeks (aside from watching countless worthy or worthless movies). Last friday was goooooood.

Attendance:
Mito JR Yuggy
Johnny Love Aia
Paolo Byron

and to think i'm already fine the day after, we (Mito,Yuggy,JR,Johnny and Aia) met and roamed Glorietta,WTC and Las Piñas during nighttime.

then i came back to Glorietta to watch another movie.

Last week, He was plagued by a question he detested for a long time.

"Musta?"

He fell silent. He didn't know how to answer. As he backtracked with his life during the past months, He realized nothing was worth sharing. He had no one to flirt with or had someone to fight with. He had no money...He had nothing.

Then he added more, "Walang nangyayari sayo?! How is that even possible? Of all people, You'd say nothing? I'd kill myself if I hear you say ok lang."

"...Yeah." He was guilty; He was about to say "ok lang".

He doesn't want a life of normalcy. He never imagined myself sitting in a rocking chair waiting to close his eyes and wake no more. Or maybe he gets bored so fast, fitting inside a box or crossdress would be nothing.

"I'm becoming to hate people more that i don't want anything to do with them." He told him that, knowing it made little sense.

hay. writer's block anyone?

It was never that fun when you had to walk home empty handed; with your wallet nowhere to be found. It’s also raining and I don’t have an umbrella. I never wished for this to happen but it did. I’m literally scattered on the floor groping for something I do not know. My TV’s not working. So much for wanting to divert these things away but it seems I’m stuck with that for the moment.

God…I don’t want anything to do with this anymor-
(*ring ring!)

The phone started ringing before I could finish the journal. I don’t know if I should answer it now or what. No one ever called me unless it’s about work. I wanted some peace at least for the mean time. The day sure was exasperating.

I just stared at the phone.

It rang.

It rang again.

It rang still.

I anxiously picked the phone. “Hello?”

“Where are you? I’ve been calling you like forever?!”

Just what I needed…my boss.

“Sir, I just came home.”

“So? I wanted everything done today. Why did you leave early? Are you trying to prove something? Remember, I am the one who gave you the oppur--”

Here we go again. He’ll slap me with the fact I got employed because of him. He always made things worse.

“Sir, my shift’s over already. I have other things to do too.”

“Oh I don’t care. Get your ass here or I’ll fire you! Do you understand?”

He hanged up; I placed the phone down. I took my bag and ran outside.

 

He always gets what he wants.

ghad.

today was the most worthless class presentation i ever had.

(defending my thesis was much better)

at least i got 2.0 for first draft considering my whole business plan was soooooooo incomplete.

i love my Mulbis prof :D 

*how incomplete?
majority of the class had 40-50 pages while i had 15. hahahaha beat that

hay. im so overjoyed i wanted to post this.
no rocking chair for today :D

i never thought i'd see CSB burning like hell. I think it came from the girls' restroom at the 4th floor of Mutien Hall.

It started 2:00 p.m, while we were eating sirloin steak--bought from Henmar's--in  the office.

When the fire alarm rang, we left through the LRT gate.

Thinking we were already safe, we stood there...looking at it. CSB was burning infront of my eyes.

The accounting was burned as well as the LMO office. Two people died today.

hahaha! Fire Drill kanina. alam na namin bago mangyari yung event. Lumabas na nga kami ng school para bumili ng pagkain tapos bumalik pa para ma-experience.

Pagtunog ng bell, humiga pa ako sa sahig...kunwari nahihilo ako sa usok. Tinamaan pa ako ng pinto palabas ng office namin. hahaha at least may injury ako paglabas. 

In fairness, ito ang unang firedrill na talagang mas maganda ang effect. May bumbero pa talaga (although naka-park siya waaaay malayo sa sunog, so ano silbi nun).  May umarte din na mga namatay although mukha lang silang sinabuyan ng strawberry jam.

Nabasa kami ng tubig...pati ang tindahan ni manang. Galit na galit siya, hindi kasi naabisuhan na magkakaroon pala ng balikatan exercises.

Nag-away ang security office at ang accounting kasi ayaw lumabas ng taga accounting kasi mamabasa daw sila.

Nagalit si inspektor. Sa loob-loob niya "masunog kayo!!!"

here's something to share.

Last month, a group of HRIM students ALLEGEDLY committed lewd acts [an understatement] at the M505 (Mutien Marie hall) during u-break.

They were not caught red-handed BECAUSE a D.O. (discipline officer) was their lookout. (probably HE was also a glorified peeping tom too)

cast of characters? filipinos and koreans.

and how did i know about this?

the friend of my friend's friend was a part of the said...extra-curricular activity.

and i was also walking along mutien hall when all the mass...starvation happened. hahaha
