(Warning: semi-spoilers ahead!) So I saw Inception two nights ago, and just like the rest of Leonardo diCaprio’s movies, this too blew my mind away. I read an interview article wherein Leo mentioned that he was fortunate to have the opportunity to choose the movies he does. And judging by the movies he has made [...]
I just discovered a new favorite movie: August Rush. I know it’s not unusual that I gush about movies, but this time I’m turning up the gushing one more notch. August Rush is an absolutely beautiful movie. I’ve had a copy of this 2007 film in my external HDD for a while now, but never [...]
Since the start of this year, I’ve developed the habit of watching movies or TV series every night to get myself to fall asleep. I think this habit started around the time I wrote this entry which is during a very low point in my life. Prior to that, I won’t be able to sleep [...]
My friend Rita, who just celebrated her first blog anniversary, showed me this funny spoof of Twilight’s book cover. LOL. Image Credit: marcodelatorre While it’s true that I called myself a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling saga a couple of times before, I am not offended every time I read a bad review about it. [...]
I just finished The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides but I didn’t realize until I researched about the book that it’s actually written way back in 1993. I bought it at National Bookstore after I caught a glimpse of this text just above the book’s title: Now a major motion picture from Paramount Classics starring [...]
So I’ve finally read Stardust and have seen the movie. My reaction? To quote Ade‘s comment on my previous post, it’s the “BEST. MOVIE. EVER.” This is probably the first time I’m gonna say that I liked the film version better than the book, and probably the only time I’m gonna admit that the long-haired [...]
Neil Gaiman instantly became one my favorite authors after I read his novel Neverwhere a few years ago. I wanted to read more of his books but I kind of lost interest after I was done with American Gods. Its strange, too-manly plot didn’t really appeal to me. His other best-selling novels (Smoke & Mirrors, [...]
The Tooth Has Set Me Free So my minor surgery went fine. I’m still alive! Which means I get to keep the stuff I included in my “last will and testament“. lol. The dentist was very good, very nice, and very patient. But those didn’t stop me from being nervous and teary-eyed the whole time! [...]
For the past two weeks, my dad has been asking me to get him a DVD copy of Mel Gibson’s The Patriot. As to why, I don’t know. My mom and I think that his desire to see the The Patriot again is one of the “cravings” he’s having nowadays. He’s also craving for different [...]
Oh my – this is like the best superheroes movie ever! Okay, maybe not the best, but definitely one of the best. Maybe even better than the latest Spiderman (which, I hate to admit, kinda sucked) Fantastic Four, and Superman films combined. And yesterday there I was thinking my brother was just overreacting when he [...]
