Rating: ★★ Category: Movies Genre: Kids & Family I never heard of this movie until the three of us (me and my sisters) was inside the movie house. The whole time I was sitting there I had a conversation in my head that wanted to kick myself for not even trying out the two other more popular movies currently on in spite of one having a bad review (Airbender) and the other greeted with a small number of audience (Salt). How can I not be? Seeing Fraser with his beer belly and badly made CGI animals who react with old school facial expressions, it's like seeing an imitation of violent cartoons who did nothing in an entire episode other than to hit each other with the stupidest of things. Good heavens they spared us having ACME explosives. On top of that they also recycled too many scenes that it's ridiculously obvious that they are either in short of budget or just subliminally telling us to do the 3 Rs. And due to that a sane movie goer might miss a few good lines that somehow...

The white one is our old one and the gray was what we bought last Sunday. Thanks ref. It's been a wonderful 23 years.

Rating: ★ Category: Movies Genre: Mystery & Suspense I rarely watch slasher films and call me a sissy if you want but this is exactly the type that would not make me wish for a fastforward button. It isn't scary at all nor was it as gory as I wanted. You can see how much they are trying hard to convince you that the story is so worth it but even I can formulate what they did up to their 'twist'. Some actors are even boring to watch. And if anyone even tries to make a part two, puhlease. I'm hoping they start with changing the actor line-up first. Maybe it will up their act no matter how mediocre the story they'd come up next.

Rating: ★★ Category: Movies Genre: Action & Adventure My first impression was, looks like Battle Royale, sounds like Battle Royale. BR 2 anyway, only this time they aren't students but assassins. After that part, the survival of the fittest theme I am sure we are tired of already. Early this month I even saw something like that too, only I didn't catch the title. Then there is also DOA and a hundred other titles. Blood bath check, huge explosions check, morally challenged assasin check, and wait is that Boone (Ian Somerhalder)? Not a strong recommend but you ought to check this just once. Maybe you'll get something from it. I didn't. Not that much anyway

Rating: ★★★ Category: Movies Genre: Horror What the hell Jack Nicholson stop scaring me! And that sound effect, argh!! I am shivering in fright already! I can't even stop punching the pause button whenever I'm on the verge of giving up on watching, (which I did multiple times. I even stalled by watching a few Flashforwards on the side just to keep my breathing to a level) and what a relief it was when it was over. And if you don't get scared at how maniacal Nicholson did his act here I don't know who else you need to be. In my own judgement the story alone isn't really that grand anymore because there are so many dozens of the type but this has got to be much more realistic on how normal people usually behave in signs of danger. Normally we just run right? It isn't like most movies who have bad guys live no matter how many times you stab them with a knife, or a normal housewife suddenly being able to tackle them in the first place. And how it ended, loved it. Yo...

Rating: ★ Category: Movies Genre: Romantic Comedy Another book turned movie failure. I loved the books because the author made it so that women who read it can relate to how weird our thoughts are and how it runs in so many directions at a given situation yet here I am contemplating on how is it that Luke Brandon, the lead guy looks so frail contrary to his book description, how Tarky is waaaay more handsome than Luke and Alicia didn't look like what I thought of Alicia like the rest in the whole cast!! I can forgive they fast forward to some stuff but actually changing the whole setup?? This is just so wrong! Luke isn't supposed to be in Successful Saving, Becky should and neither should Alicia be in a different magazine and is a...a...model??? I did read that they have merged two books into one but this is just so way out of what I expected. I hope you are happy now whoever script writer you are. You just ruined my day.

There are four yakiniku sets but we were referred to having this second one, Yakiniku Tarafuku Set which is good for two (or maybe three if one of you doesn't eat much). The set includes 5 plates of meat cuts, a plate of greens, a bowl of soup and another bowl of kimchi plus one bowl of rice. Yes just one bowl of rice, so we ordered another one which at the end of the meal is certainly the MOST EXPENSIVE RICE EVER. It is priced 115 and that bowl on the photo is the exact serving as it is. Maybe we should have gotten the hint of the waitress that 'we can do interorder' at the start of the meal. Iced teas aren't also part of the deal so we ordered two glasses which is around 60. Ambiance is awfully good, most especially attributed by our early arrival on the place that we get to seat on one of those cute cubicles with standard sizes big enough for groups of people. I even get to remark that this is a wonderful place for gatherings or for a special occassio...

We are now nearing to the very last restaurant we still haven't visited at the Little Tokyo area. Today was Urameshi-ya's turn which is disappointingly opened only at 5pm onwards. So 'Saturdate' would be different that instead of a lunch-movie, it would then be reversed and the idea doesn't sound appealing to me. So I suggested a visit to Manila Ocean Park, some place we both still haven't been to. Originally, today's meetup was at 9am. No one made it so instead of my pre-planned suggestion of a very long walk to the Park somewhere from U.N., we got to having a taxi instead. What do you know, no traffic! Yey! When we got out of the cab, I thought I saw birds flying at the corner of my eye. Yes birds! White ones. Just like those you see in movies when characters get to the park then birds from nowhere suddenly flies out and then the background music begins. None of us will have any dialogues, just series of laughing and running and pointing somewhere and tak...

Easy... Be the crane...
