New Moon

I am a Twilight fan.  I can't wait to watch the 2nd installment from the Twilight Saga, New Moon.

I got this poster from my friend Kira. I can't wait for it to be shown on November!!!

WOLVERINE

I decided to join my friend Sherry and his son Gelo for a late Saturday night movie date.  When I heard that they'll watch Wolverine I had to force Sherry to take me with them. Haha! I wouldn't miss this for anything. I'm a Hugh Jackman fan =)

I soooooo lav et! I'm happy that I joined them.  I was ecstatic, oh well, screamed to the top of my lungs when Remy LeBeau a.k.a GAMBIT appeared on the screen.   After all these years, we finally get to see the X-Men fan favorite superhero Gambit in flesh and blood on the big screen.  Gambit is played by actor Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights).



Another character that I love is Wade Wilson a.k.a DEADPOOL played by Ryan Reynolds. Well I love him as Ryan. I love him as Wade but not so much when he became a part of the Weapon X program, thus, becoming Deadpool.  (FYI, I love Ryan's samurai-sh scene at the beginning of the movie!)



It's nice to know parts of Wolverine's past like the emotional fallout from more than a century of love and hate between Logan and his brother Victor (a.k.a Sabretooth).  My favorite among their scenes is when they were fighting back to back against Deadpool.  It showed big brotherly love.



The action scenes were pretty spectacular, in particular one involving a helicopter and Wolverine riding on a motorcycle.  I also love the scene between Wolverine and Deadpool.  It was like a scene in the movie "300" =) The movie kept me entertained from the very beginning to the climatic end. Not to mention some witty remarks, one-liners by Wolverine! =)

TWILIGHT EXPERIENCE

you can say that i'm one of the thousands who went "gaga" over this saga.

november is i guess my busiest month. with christmas fast approaching - accessory orders, work load, exam week of my tutees (i tutor :), life is chaotic! i'll be joining two bazaars (SIlver Sparks Online Bazaar in UP Diliman and of course US Girls Bazaar in Eastwood) this month, tons of orders to finish, the christening of my nephew, Josef - i'll be making his invitations and souvenirs and parent confrence in school where i work.  most of the time i just stare blankly into space, not knowing which one to attend to first.

but inspite my super eratic schedule, it's really funny, that i still had the time to read "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer.  

actually, i heard a lot of buzz about this book. 1st - that it's a best-seller, 2nd - the sountrack is number 1 in the billboards, 3rd - robert pattinson (edward cullen) is the cutest (in a vampire way) and 4th - the whole world is anticipating the shoing of the movie this month.

so, when i was in national book store, i decided to buy my copy. little did i know that this will be a very exciting experience for me. i was hooked on it, never wanted to stop until i finish the entire book (i detached myself from my beads!). i love it because it's not too "bloody" and of course the love story of belle and edward. i totally love them! :)

eager to get hold of the 2nd book and conitnue the love story of the two - i called powerbooks and national bookstore; but their copies are sold out. it's a good thing i'm very persistent when it comes to something that i want...i asked fully booked, my last hope and wow!!!! they have the complete set! so i bought all the books, afraid that stocks will soon be gone especially after the showing of the movie. i was so happy last night when i got home. i felt like a child again, so eager to read my favorite storybook :)

i felt so sad when the movie showing was moved to november 26 fomr november 21. i looked forward to its showing the whole week so when i found out that it was moved (after asking my friends to watch with me!) i was so devastated.

it will be shown tomorrow and i can't wait. i'm so excited!!! :)

A Very Special Love

i don't know why i wanted to see this film. maybe some will say 'baduy' or 'corny'....i was never a sarah nor john lloyd's fan. not naman that i don't like them. it's just that i don't follow their career path. but when abs began to show the teaser for this movie, i got so interested. maybe it was the song. i love the song esp the line "i was deceived by love, i've never had much luck with lovers before..." haha! swak na swak!

i asked my friends, edna and sheryll to watch with me. i even told them that i'll treat them so just they wacth it with me. haha! pathetic. haha!

anyway, i watched it na awhile ago. and my gosh! was i a teenager again inside the movie house, shrieking every chance i could get especially when john lloyd's in the screen! haha! actually, 90% of the population inside the moviehouse were girls so can you just imagine how noisy we were? haha!

it was a typical love story. simple plot. but very heartwarming. very real. goes through one's heart. well, i felt the movie. it moved me. hmmm. i've always been a sucker for tear-jerker, love stories, kilig movies. hehe. laida (sarah) loved miguel (lloydie) even before they met. she was the only one who believed in him, stood by him, even when everyone didn't understand him. this made miguel a changed man. as what he said in the movie, "something has changed. and that change came as a surprise." but of course, some twists and turns...made the movie more exciting! haha! i won't tell na. just watch it :D

now, let me talk about the characters: sarah's acting was really good considering that she's not really an actress but a singer.  i commend her for she acted so natural, it's as if the role was really made for her.  john lloyd, on the other hand, was at his element. he was really good. aside from his being handsome on screen, gosh!  his acting ever surpassed those who came before him in the industry. he made me cry with some of his lines especially his scenes with his dad (dante rivero).  their friends - matet, gio, joross and the 2 other girls, were so nakakaliw! matet's line "ang ganda mo!" made moviegoers laugh to death! :D

over-all the movie is worth the A rating that it got from the movie board.  it really suits the taste of the pinoy movigoers. of course, what's a movie without my favorite line - favorite line from laida? well, when she said 'never kong naramdaman ang napagod na mahalin ka. ngayon lang." wow! i can relate! super! :D

of course, nothing beats the kilig moments. not in the obvious, pa-cute sort of way ha. very natural. but very true. that's what i like about the 2 actors. they're real. or they made it look like it's real. haha! watch na lang para you know what i'm talking about. basta watch for the scene where miguel got sick plus the ending! haha! the sun dance was the best!

hay. im still not a fan ha. just someone who appreciates a feel-good movie. oh, by the way, rowell santiago is in the movie too. haha. nice come-back :D

i hope there'll be more movies like this. feel-good. something that can make each one of us sing after watching it. hmmm. love. "i found a very special love in you...."
