Suicide Club (2.20.09)

Rating: ★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Foreign I rarely have the opportunity to know movies from our neighbouring countries, most of them I just heard, or read somewhere (such as in the case of Battle Royale which I read (then watched) from Time ages ago. The sequel I just learned from a classmate back in college). This one though was lent to me by an officemate who I'm beginning to think was the best source of anything (I can think of) Japanese. Anyways, other than since this is a copy and I can forward it to scenes once it gets boring, well I could say that it didn’t trigger my powerful fingers. I was actually saying 'No Way' the entire time (good thing I was home alone) even though I knew the hell they'd still do jump (badly reminds me of ‘The Happening’ though I have no utmost right to even mention it here since I’ve only seen the trailer) or do something ridiculous (like that mom who sliced her fingers off). There were a lot of (well to me, looks like) incoh...

Romantic-Free Valentine's (2.14.09)

Image
I wasn't happy with the results of the first time I wrote this blog, so here I am, rewriting. I have all the time tonight (Sunday, Feb 15) to write this anyway so here I am, doing it. I never had romantic dates on the 14th of February, just group dates, and group get togethers but never a passe, watch-a-movie-dinner-with flowers type of a date. Guess I didn't have any boyfriend who would take me out at such time since for most, either I just broke up with one before Feb or just earned one (a bf) months later. But I didn't have too many relationships in the past to even think it would even be possible. Days prior my cousin was inviting us to go to MOA to watch Lova-Palooza but besides the fact that who in the world who is single would like to watch hundreds of couples kissing   whilst I don't have anyone to smooch with, I have set most of the income I've generated for the cutoff to my financial obligations, most of them to my sister's. I just said we...

SA (Sobrang Antok) Training (2.4.9)

Grabe. Since last Thursday pa kong less 4 hours lang ang tulog. Alam kong ganon na kalala ang pagpupuyat ko at pagsespend ko ng almost 24 hours sa harap ng pc nang marealize ko na for the last few days I wake up e nagpapalpitate ako na para bang I’ve been working out. Darn. Tingin ko pag tinrack ko yung nag-ta-throb sa may bandang ilalim ng chin ko (the one closer sa neck, left side) more than 80 sya in a minute (I’ve watched this before na normal daw is 30 beats a minute, the moment you wake up. Safe is 60, there is a problem if it had gone to 80). I fear for my life. Naalala ko yung kwento ng ka-office mate ko na may friend (ata) yung friend nya who suddenly died on his sleep. He was a health buff yet he died. In autopsy they found his heart wrapped in fat. Well syempre hindi sila related na situation pero nakakatakot pa rin. Baka kasi sa sobrang sleep deprived ko e bigla na lang ako magshut down. Eee kakatakot. Anyways, before I went to sleep, I actually asked na sana magising ...

Alvin and the Chipmunks (1.25.09)

Rating: ★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Kids &Family It was almost two weeks since I’ve seen this on Star Movies. Yeah yeah, another late watch, with another sooo late of a review. But I’d be doing it anyway, told you, I’d write a review for every movie I’ve watched given I’ve seen it from start til end. A weird feeling of seeing an adaptation of another a-once-upon-in-my-childhood animation of protagonists animals, this I liked than the rest. Unlike TMNT, the CGI that was used here was rather necessary (I mean, I think it’s a whole lot of feasible to draw them than train real live chipmunks to act), way created more realistic than Scooby Doo and more likeable than Garfield (other than being a dog lover, who likes a dancing, fat, snob cat anyway?). Special effects that made the movie an ‘extra’ tug, but the plot wasn’t anymore special. Simple and predictable. That’s how I see it, cues that left too much for the head that it’s impossible to not know what will happen n...
