Fright Night (2011)

Fright Night, by so far the lamer (not the lamest) vampire movie I've seen. I meant not to be harsh but hey, this movie kept me waiting for something and for the first 30-40 minutes the whole movie was dull and lots of talking and I don't even know how did IMDB gave this a 6.8 rating? Well anyway at least Fright Night kept my occupied though.

The whole movie for me was like...a so-so. Also why is it in genre of Comedy? Is this a Parody movie? Why isn't this movie funny is this is a Comedy movie? Am I the only one who took this movie seriously?

Bottom line, it sucks like Twilight (no hard feelings people). Even though I haven't watched the original 1985 movie I guess my thoughts would have been still , the same even if I watched it. Also, the movie didn't tell what is that Artifact/Pedestal thingy that Charley took? And also, to tell you is this movie is trying to portray a Horror scene...Hell NO! I mean look at the movie poster! HE'S THE VAMPIRE? How can you get scared in front of him exactly? You tell me. You might be offering yourself to him instead of running away!

I really LOLed when I saw this movie poster haha.

Babylon AD (2008)

For what I have understand in this movie, Babylon AD by Matheiu Kassovitz based on Maurice G. Dantec's novel Babylon Babies is that Toorop and Aurora are the 2nd Generation Mary and Joseph! Miraculous!

Set in a Post-Apocalyptic world in near future Babylon AD, Toorop accepts an escort mission, to make sure Aurora safely travels to New York only knowing that the girl she's about to deliver is the home of a genetically modified Messiah.

I found this movie quite interesting, at first I really enjoyed the Futuristic touch and imagine they already have an iMap and iPhone is not yet even in public that time! Cool! Also I like the automated apartment, also the fight scene, unfortunately it is supposed to look good but due to the poor cameramanship (I don't know whats the wording for it hehe) the whole fighting was for naught.

Overall, it was nice, a bit confusing at first but it was worth it. Not bad at all.

3 Idiots (2009)

Whoa, just WHOA... I cannot just believe what I've just watched. This movie 3 Idiots, totally captivated no mesmerized me. I am totally amazed on the turn out of the movie and tell you, all scenes are superb and never a dull moment. A movie that is a jack-of-all-trades; Action, Comedy, Romance, Suspense, Musical...man! I don't know how they put all these genres into one whacky movie and I tell you, really Extraordinary!

Totally Rad, the BEST MOVIE I've ever seen! Who could've expect that this movie have effectively combined so many seemingly warring elements into one highly polished movie! 

3 idiots is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and as you can see this is an Indian movie and again I  have SUPER (super + Capslock) enjoyed this and left me with a somewhat teary eye in the end...gosh, the movie it totally captivating 'til the end, each scenes are totally unexpected and everything in me was cluttered, mixed emotions are at war, in some scenes I laughed so hard and then going suspense then romantic then Musical WTF?!

If I'm going to rate this movie 5 I'd be in for a suicide (my rating system says that 5 is the max), It's only just to give this movie a 10+ rating, I mean, technically, movies like this which is the only movie that I know that turns out as a real gem which has an uber mixed genres turned out so...great! Fabulous.

While typing this blog entry I can't help to smile and actually I am planning to watch it again! Ehem...anyways, like I said earlier, WHOA. Watch it or you'll regret it. This movie just made my 170 minute of my life Fantastic. 


What I also happen to like in this movie was the catchy Zoobi Doobi Musical Number by Pia and Rancho, even though I do not much like musicals damn the song was catchy (probably download it to my phone haha!) also one more, I just love what Rancho is doing with his face, Its just so cute like an 8th grader smile? Its like a mischievous genius smile eh? And ugh, I swear to you that these people really knows how to act! I also noticed how Rancho to pull all his scenes really touching, from teary moments to comedy scenes all went too good to be true!

What made me teary was the scene with Raju and Rancho at the hospital after jumping from the third floor office of virus. You know that pinching sensation on your chest god I hate that.

I totally love this movie, I liked the story the moral and...everything! I just loved how they bond and how they come at their friend in times of their need.


So there you go a full 5 star (I wished for 10 but 5 is the max) shining brightest. and oh yeah, If you have time (I assume you have) I recommend you to watch this movie, trust me, you'll definitely love this one.  

HA! If I can't make it 10 then I just have to make this bigger then!

Green Lantern (2011)

The Green Lantern is a Superhero from the DC Comics played by Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern of Sector 2814 which is Earth. Hal Jordan who is a Cocky Test Pilot was chosen of Abin Sur's Ring after being caught off guard by Pharallax.

This movie Green lantern remind me so much of The Law of Ueki for not only of those Green lights but also because of those green item creation stuff but nonetheless, the movie is an absolute blockbuster. I also happen to like the story, it's something new to me. I have never been into comic hero movies before but this one is really great. A super hero movie that is not too focused on wooing the girl or playing the mysterious dark guy (you know who they are).

So far, the movie didn't bored me out but actually it made me enthralled. The lighting is great, special effects are great, the story is great, the actors are well suited in the film; overall, a whole rounded epic movie! I totally enjoyed watching this movie and I think personally, this one isbetter than *cough* Superman.

Priest (2011)

Priest by Scott Charles Stewart is a post-apocalyptic vampire movie taken where the Church rules and its laws are absolute. Damn I really hate movies with such theme and that's why I love watching them.

For me, the movie is a not so really good. Everything seemed to happen so much and I totally disliked the story. Also what about these hideous creatures with no eyes? Vampires too? Also what about this Hicks guy do? If I know better I would thing that this guy is just an extra, he barely do anything that reflects the story! Except of course for the big kiss at the ending but that doesn't makes any sense! Also added to my expectation tot his movie, I was like expecting that the Priest would destroy the church but it didn't happen.

Overall, not really worth a watch, I don't even care if this is in 3D for the only 3D scene I saw was the cross shuriken being tossed again and again. Also, I was expecting more of action scenes,blood baths and such but this, its more like having to watch movie full of talking. At the end, I was left crippled, bored, disappointed and hungry for more; and trust me, I've seen some other vampire movies and they aren't dull like this one.

I Spit on Your Grave (2010)

I Spit on Your Grave at first I thought was a Paranormal, Horror Thriller flick in which the girl on the poster was a witch or something demon like which possess supernatural powers. but then all things changed when I've watched the entire film. Form title itself it kind of sounds like Zombies coming back to life eh? Well its not. This movie is sick, just like Saw but the conspirator is a woman.

I Spit on Your Grave is a Crime and vengeance filled movie with some porn scenes (on the Unrated version) in which the story revolves on Jennifer, a hot and sexy writer set of to a remote cabin so that she can relax and cool down in which instead she find herself being assaulted by some unknown guys and now she seeks revenge for what they've done to her by taking them down one-by-one.

Overall the movie was great. Simply awesome, bloody disgusting. The story was strong, nice environment and nice storyline.

Being Chased by Numbers? 11:11 Perhaps?

Hey there people! You see, first of all I'm no expert in this type of topic so be kind to me for I'm only sharing what I've got (so far) and yes, I do have my own experience regarding this topic s here goes.

Based on Wikipedia, 11:11 phenomenon actually exists before or the time the Great Pyramids exists...so what now? Well you see, for those who seek quick answers what is this? Why and what is the cause? I'll tell it to you: "They're wake up call." But wake up what?

Bad Teacher (2011)

Bad teacher is a comedy film starring Cameron Diaz as a foul mouthed teacher or should I say Evil huh? Anyways, this movie circles on Elizabeth Hasley, dumped by her "money bag" she now faces new challenges --to sustain her own living.

Now, Elizabeth now must find a new sugar dad in which Scott Delacorte (Justin Timberlake) a wealthy, smart and handsome and wealthy again appeared and this time she has to woo Scott into her own money bag. Typical story.

Anyhow, the movie is good I tell you really worth a watch and it was really funny. In my opinion this movie was like a so-so movie, not too shabby not too grand jut fine. I like everything in the movie except for the entry part( the teachers part slide show) and the rest is fine.

I really liked the evil, mischievous Cameron Diaz here, also the drug part where Ms. Squirrel was imprisoned due to false accusation which I really find really evil and cunning of her.
Overall it was nice, watchable and yeah, I enjoyed it, really enjoyed some good laugh. I guess I have to give this a 5 star rating, even though the movie have not much perks it somehow made me entertained so...5 stars.

I Am Number Four (2011)

I Am Number Four directed by D.J. Caruso is a kind of movie I've always liked. Like the Movies Push and Jumper, this one has a vivid Story line too. Actually, there is no doubt that this movie will go away in the screen very shortly, a sequel is highly expected; I mean who wouldn't enjoy such movie? (Being bias am I?)

I totally liked this movie, the special effects, fight scenes everything! Well what more can we ask from the director of Smallville himself huh? Superman HA!

Overall, (that's it?) Well, you see, I cannot elucidate to you clearly how rejoiced I am after the movie, as if its really refreshing you know that? the feeling of "Oohh, another nice movie"  Clearly, I amazed at everything, so 5 stars and by the way, I really DO wait for the sequel!

By the way, you see the girl on John's left? I thought she was the twilight girl. Hehe, funny stuff. She looks hot on the motorcycle though.

Super 8 (2011)

Super 8 by  J.J. Abrahams was nice, watchable and my first thought regarding this movie before the movie starts rolling is that (also what I expect) this movie will be like Push or Jumper or something that includes people with supernatural powers and subdue the evil forces thingy, and to tell you that even though I've watched the credit rolls I'm still waiting for that stuff.

The movie Super 8 was nice, real good but it quite become noticeable that the lighting is glaring most of the scenes being take and I think its a bad part for the filming. Also the Title itself, I thought Super 8 was kinda like Fantastic 4 etc. from which that was what I expected from the title. The word super implies psychic or mutants to me, but anyhow, the movie is watchable even though it kinda disappoints me the movie is all worth it anyway.

Overall it was nice, liked it but the introduction of the movie is kind of laggy, I was left bored but as the movie progressed, then again is worth it.

By the way, I kind of like the Zombie part and tell you, the Zombie movie they're making is entitled with the same name! Now I get it! (But still, they're not 8, they're just 6...weird)

Sucker Punch (2011)

First of all I thought this was a magical movie like Harry Potter and I thought it would be like epic, but then Sucker Punch did totally what I have in mind. This movie is confusing, a lot of "skips" I don't know if its just me but you know the movie itself is confusing but slightly entertaining. Gotta admit the the special effects, the fight scenes and the environment really suits the theme of the movie and by the way, I watched this film with no background knowledge so yeah, that's a plus factor to my confusion.

This movie is nice, but the introduction part is rather really confusing, a bit dull. What even more puzzled me is the dance. What is this movie about anyway? About crazy people creating virtual reality in their head? What is so special about Baby Doll's dance that makes the audience in trance? Also,  the ending really confuses me, who is this "Wise man?" What is the place Baby Doll were into, a Mental institution or a Club? Why are they dancing? Why the place looks clubbish?

Overall, the movie was fine until the all my queries began to arise and left unanswered anyway, 4 stars for the whole special effects and awesome fighting scenes, you know as if I'm watching Tekken here the only catch is that they have no super punches like Jin and Kazuya.

Crazy Stupid Love (2011)

First off, AWESOME! Superb, really! Crazy, Stupid Love is a comedy drama movie directed by Glenn Ficara and John Requa. Gosh, I've never anticipated this coming that this movie would be this good. A combination of serious drama and witty comedy often falls to the comedy most of the part but this one is just in the middle you know. It's funny in a way that its serious and that's what I liked in the movie and to tel you, I am really amazed on how the movie turned out.

At first I wasn't expecting much drama in this movie for I know Steve Carell for his Comedy Acts on Saturday Night Live! and The Office but hey, I'd tell you this movie is real good. What I like more int his movie are the casts I just love how Ryan Gosling being an eye-candy, and also Emma Stone, they're both sexy. 

In the story, I thought first, maybe the story is like Horrible Bosses for the movie films 3 different people in 3 different worlds (I mean they have their own story) like Jacob, Cal and Hannah and yes they are connected. I also happen to love the sequencing of the movie, and I'm also telling that you will be never be left blanked. Never a dull moment in this movie.

Bottom line....5 stars! This is an excellent movie! I really doubt that you will find this movie bad or something like that but then again, I recommend this movie to be watched by you! I know you'll just love this.

Movie Trinkets!

"F*ck! Seriously?! It's like you're Photoshopped! Lemme Touch it."
Oh, lookie here! Local Star John Lloyd Cruz is in the movie?! (Man on the Left)

Daybreakers (2009)

Daybreakers  by Michael and Peter Spierig is an Action sci-fi movie about vampires. Well, about humans as well. You see, this movie is set on the near future i guess, where people are turned into Vampires to be immortal and such. The story is about saving human kind from extinction with the help of some humans of course and an ex vampire.

I like this movie, unlike any other vamp movies I've watched (and like those I'm not going to watch). This movie has a lot to offer you see, in such a short time the movie executed lots of scenes and never a dull moment occurred!

Overall the movie is nice, great, nice effects although not fond of watching vampire movies (I kinda more like Zombie movies though ^^) I really liked this one. Also another thing, I only didn't get how did the vampires returned to Human again? Was it because they drank an ex vampire blood? What about the burning experiments? What was it for then? And why did the vamps explodes when a wooden stick touches them...well I guess I gotta do some research then Haha.

Oh yeah, there are some scenes though that Ethan Hawke looks like Tom Cruise and yeah, 5 stars for this movie for it kept me 'til the end of the movie.

Don't be Afraid of the Dark (2010)

This movie, Don't be Afraid of the Dark by Troy Nixey before watching this, I've put a lot of expectations in this. I mean, Sheez I have high hope that this movie would be like super scary and such but then, boom. Crappy.

I didn't liked it, I think the movie that take people's body is much better (I forgot what the Title is). You see, first thing the film began to roll, it's like...well kinda good. Teeth being sacrificed and such and I began to bore at the near middle part; you know, lots of talking and stuff and at the middle part where these "creatures" began to appear, I was dismayed of what I've seen. I was like expecting scarier stuff or even just crippling shadows and grabs you, that is scary but spider like rats? Well I don't know.

Poor lighting, lots of talking, dull moments, UNscary creatures and goofy scenes, and to think of the ending, how I just wished that the guy was there at the basement instead than to the girl. The father didn't do much in the movie after all!

For me, I didn't liked it but then again I thought that not everyone has the same taste huh? I only managed to see this movie for IMDB gave a 6.1 rating so I thought, Hey might as well give this a try and then poof. Crap.

Jumper (2008)

"Let me tell you about my day so far. Coffee in Paris, surfed the Maldives, took a little nap on Kilimanjaro. Oh, yeah, I got digits from this Polish chick in Rio. And then I jumped back for the final quarter of the N.B.A. finals - courtside of course. And all that was before lunch. I could go on, but all I'm saying is, I'm standing on top of the world." 
From the director of the block buster movie The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Doug Liman came up with something new --The Jumper.

Jumper is a sci-fi themed movie about...well Jumpers, but not literally jumpers, Jumpers are kind of people who are able to teleport themselves anywhere whey want, whenever, however! Jumper movie is really really really great, especially when onto movies in this kind. People with superpowers or strange technology in the modern world, I think they're just pretty cool! 

Actually, the first thing I found out of this movie I was like, whoa this one's gonna be great, and yes! It is great! I just love how they did the special effects and the places, they really look authentic and real (---because its real?). I really enjoyed watching this one, for I have seen lots of places and its like jumping into different movies you know? Well you see, I've seen some movies that uses crappy blue screen tech and let me tell you this, its just crappy.

In comparison with this, I can say that Push (2009) and Jumper (2008) are slightly...closely related. Still, both movies are GREAT, big time! With all the Pushing and Jumping like that it just made me all hyped up. Never a dull moment in this fast paced movie yet informative and won't leave you hanging.

Bottom line, the movie is A-okay. Nice effects, nice story somewhat unsatisfying ending, I kinda feel bad for Jamie Bell, for he was left hanging on the near end in the movie...literally! How I wished though he survived (worry not, I think there will be a sequel HA!).

Photoshop of the Month 2!

In this month's issue I feature you again my Photoshop creations, well actually I may not be an expert like the other Graphic Experts but hey at least I can make this exceptional things ya know?! Anyways here the are!


Behold! The Human Statue! Hehehe, by the way, i made this shop long long time ago, i only found it lurking in my HDD so I decided what the heck, I'll put this too in the Blog! Thanks also for Ailene for using this picture (actually I didn't told her anything about photoshopping her as well as featuring her in my blog! I'm gonna be dead!) 



Next is this, I'd like to call it The Great Sundering, no not that Great Sundering with the tree of Eternity blowing up! Actually I kinda get the name from it, anyways, I kinda pictured it when I was daydreaming looking outside the classroom of PUP East floor and I pictured what and how will Aliens cut through our System? Like creating a huge wormhole onto the skies bending Time and Space itself. Its like destroying everything in its path. And what would it be like if they're hostile? Trying to take our Home World for to take? Thinking about it really excites me! So I decided to express it in this way, its so close on how I actually pictures it but It'll do!


Next is this picture. I love playing with lights in photoshop, especially making magic stuff, making it like...dream looking, something magical and such you know? So I decided to make them the models and fortunately they liked it!



I like this one, its like a real painting but the catch here is that it not a painting. Digital painting! This shop was inspired by some photo I've seen at DevianArt from which I don't know.  I looks good isn't it?


Ahh, the Forest Gypsy; Who would have thought that this one is Photoshopped? Its just almost perfect but the pixels didn't go with me but hey, by looking far It looked real right?.........right? 


Okay now, you've probably wondering why is this photo here? Well like the first one (statue lady and I also didn't ask for this guy's permission to use his photo in this blog so then again, I'm dead twice! Aww!) I happened to find this one on my drive as well and I just remembered that this one is the first successful background transferring shop I made! Not to count my goofy 1x1 ID picture I photoshopped for me not to go to a Cameraman just to take a picture of me haha. I mean look at this, It almost look real! RIGHT?! 




And lastly the Part 2 of BSBA HRDM 4N collage featuring our Laugh trips and craziness (Drums thudding) Walla! A Photo Mosaic! FYI it kinda makes me sad for there are A LOT of Internet softwares that automate this kind of art and to think that this one is made by them? Think again. I made this one manually, gathered pictures and such and combine them one by one. Hope you like it. ^^


Also I made this one to show you all dear viewers my classmates! Hope you like my collection so far! Well, I was supposed to release a monthly issue of this but since my Card Reader broke down I have no other tools to transfer files to my PC but then again, let's keep ourselves updated then, may someday I'll buy a better Camera and a Card Reader too! HAHA!


One more thing, whenever there is something on your mind, don't hesitate to hit the comment link down below this blog and lets see what you got! Questions about this blog WILL NOT be tolerated! Nah, just joking! Comments will be highly appreciated, so please make a comment. Thank you!

Horrible Bosses (2011)

After 3 years of waiting Seth Gordon had finally released another blockbuster film: Horrible BossesHorrible Bosses features Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis in a Comedy movie featuring 3 best friends plot to kill the only obstruction to their "happy" life. Their Horrible Bosses.

Gosh, I', totally cranked up in this movie, there is no scene they left me hanged and better yet, they all kept me at the edge of my seat, laughing. Overall the movie was A-Okay, no complaints whatsoever,

I've personally chose this movie poster because for me, I'd love the Charlie Day and Jennifer Aniston scenario, I mean, Charlie day's funny role really suits him well and I kinda loved his voice, it cute & funny, a nice asset in a comedy film and Jennifer's serious slutty role really suits her good (no puns intended) as if it came to her naturally (just joking, I just meant that the whole slutty thing was so believable, it really hit me!). By the way, both of them, together, I think they're Hot!

As for the technical part, what can I say, this movie have it all. Nice introduction, nice flow, nice story line, nice timing. I really doubt it that you'll get bored watching this movie for I have enjoyed it really well! Its really entertaining too! I liked the Atmanand guy, I think he sounded just like the older version of Baljeet in Phineas and Ferb. Also, I really loved the introduction part, as if each of them have their own story at first and when all things crammed up into one place you'l notice that: "Hey, they have the same Problems after all!" 

Bottom line, whoohoo 5 stars! I couldn't ask for more, really funny, really entertaining, just real goodie! I really recommend that you watch this one.

Its a Boy Girl Thing (2006)


First of all I've never been a fan of watching Love story movies....until I watched this one.

It's a Boy Girl Thing directed by Nick Hurran is an awesome Comedy Romantic Drama movie with a Twist! Its a Boy Girl Thing is a story of 2 totally different people, a carefree, happy-go-lucky guy and a well mannered and sophisticated woman soon find herself locked up in someone else's body...His sworn arch enemy. I just love how the story turned out. This movie has a lot to offer you and to tell you guys, I really loved the story especially that body swapping type and I know, although it's cliche (the story), man this one is good!

Kevin Zegers as the Homecoming Prom King









The cast, Samaire Armstrong, when I saw here "Filthy" look I thought she was Kristen Wiig; I LOLed (snapshot below). And also At the beginning I thought Kevin Zegers was Zack Efron, he kinda resembles of Xian Lim too!

In the movie, overall its great, no boring scenes. For me I'll rate this 5 star like I said, the movie won't leave you hanging waiting for the next scene. Just simply amazing.

Scream 4 (2011)

Scream 4 directed Wes Craven is a Thriller-Horror movie a sequel to Scream 1, 2 and 3. Well, First, i have no backgrounds on the previous films so I have nothing to share you  more about this.

Anyways, before I watch this movie, I thought...that this is a Comedy movie, just like Scary Movie so I ended up laughing all the way through all until the end without taking the scenes seriously I mean come on, I haven't watched the first 3 prequels duh. Plus, the introduction part resembles a comedy movie...a movie within a movie. Cool intro though!

I don't know but seriously whenever someone is being brutally stabbed, slit, slashed or beaten down to death I just can't stop laughing. Weird --but I like it.

Well, that is all can share with you guys, but hey! the movie is great, has some nice blood splashing action. Only thing is how come the "ghostface" guy managed to stab literally stab through the cop's skull (it penetrated through!) and still, manage to walk?
