Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank


Well, Well, Well, another award-winning film from the recently concluded Cinemalaya 2011 where my favorite actress, Eugene Domingo takes the lead. Ang Babae sa Septic Tank is.... I have no idea, before when I heard of it, I thought, WT....another indie film that tackles nudity or sex, maybe.






I was damn wrong! Ang Babae sa Septic tank is a comedy about misguided ambitions, the art of making art and the romanticization of poverty. (autoplagiarist)






Showing on the 3rd of August... I can't wait to see this film...


I LVoe!

The Girl With The Dragon Tatto

I'm so excited to see the Hollywood version of the best selling novel of Swedish writer, Stieg Larsson. A three part novel that I hope will be a film franchise too, starring Daniel Craig & Rooney Mara.



I LVoe!

Inception Or Deception?



INCEPTION : The beginning of something, such as an undertaking; a commencement. That's what WIKIPEDIA told me. 


But Am I the only one who didn't get it?


For the record, I wanted to surrender to this dream; I didn’t want to be out in the cold, alone. But I truly have no idea why so many people are raving about this film. It’s as if someone went into their heads while they were sleeping and planted the idea that Inception is a visionary masterpiece! 


I think I get it. The movie is a metaphor for the power of delusional hype—a metaphor for itself.


Inception is full of brontosaurean effects, like the city that folds over on top of itself, zero-gravity scenes and more, but the tone is so solemn I felt out of line even cracking a smile. It lacks the nimbleness of Spielberg’s Minority Report or the Jungian-carnival bravado of Joseph Ruben’s Dreamscape or the eerily clean lines and stylized black-suited baddies of The Matrix—or, the film What Dreams May Come, for that matter, the off-kilter intensity of Nolan’s own InsomniaThe attackers in Inception are anonymous, the tone is flat and impersonal. Nolan is too literal-minded, too caught up in ticktock logistics, to make a great, untethered dream movie.


The visual effects is perfect and Leo and Marion too! but if not for them, I may just have to wait for the film to be released in DVD. I personally didn't like the film.






I LVoe, NOT!

For LVoe Of Movies: Flight Of The Living Dead

Me and Dinara (from Uzbekiztan) were talking about scary movies during our flight back to Abu Dhabi from Kuala Lumpur. She told me about Paranormal Activity and the two alternate endings, and how scared she was that time, then I asked her if she was able to watch this film about a plane full of zombies. Plane Dead aka Flight of the living dead!


She said, Niet! or No! So I replied you should watch it! It's really scary! 


Then I asked her, what will you do if there were Zombies and all were running after you! Then with a strong Russian accent she said, "then I will be a Zombie too!"I said in Russian, Chot? (what), Well there's no way to run so I'll let them bite me and become a Zombie too! I don't want to waste time running!


Then we laughed so hard!


This is dedicated to Dinara from Uzbekistan.




You don't want to be in this flight!




I LVoe!

What Happened Today!



Like most of the days, its boring, I don't have any sports, the only thing I do to keep myself busy is to walk, walk, walk. 


I don't go to the gym, I hate seeing great bodies! Bitter as I am!


If there's any capsule that transform you're body to Adonis like feature, I will buy it, but reality bites, no pain - no gain! I choose otherwise!


Since, my lovehandle's starting to accumulate, I need to do something about it, I am cutting my steamed rice intake, its our staple food and I need to substitute bread or potatoes for it, hmmm, about 3 weeks and I'll be in shape again. 


Is this a sign of aging, my feet starts to hurt when I'm walking too much! WAAAAAAA! I hope its not arthritis or rheumatism... I'm still young no!


Anyway, I started dieting today, so for dinner, I cooked Pasta in olive oil and hot & spicy tuna! Not bad! Actually, it taste great!






Well, my flight starts in two days, Calicut here I come! I hate when its end of the month, it means that I have only a few days left before all my savings is gone with the wind!


Superman save me! LOL!




By the way I was really disappointed with A Nightmare in Elm St., Robert Englund who played the role of Freddy Krueger for the last 2 decades is way better than, Jackie Earle Haley, who is an Academy Award nominee for Little Children.










The story is the same but this time, its boring and predictive.






I LVoe!
