Fame


hah. everybody wants to be famous. or the least.. to be successful...

I just saw the movie "Fame" the remake I believe... I thought it was a typical, comedy movie.. of course, drama as expected... But other then that... There are some parts that has a good laugh, most of all are just sending some chills to your spine when they perform. I love most of these kinds of movies.

It shows a story behind every teenagers lives in the movie. Every kidteen has the a common dream.. To be successful... To be famous...But they have to earn for it.

Damn.. the storyline is really good. Every teenager (well at least I used to be) can adopt to whatever story they have in their home. In their life. With these teens, they looked for it as a challenge. To look what is missing with the part of whom they are. What they want, and how they are going to go for it. Ups and downs are just a phase in order to move on. Just like with life. Problem is made for you in order to face different kinds of problems you are going to face in the future. Getting yourself ready is the point.

Other then that. You have to really know yourself. Fun, people, love, and to everything that matters to you... Especially Life itself.

I wish I could do at least one like singing or of what they did on the movie. So I'll be happy.. hah.

4.25 stars out of 5.
Storyline is great.
Anyone can relate. For sure.
I just don't like the lighting-s. Most of it are dark. I'm not watching a horror. blah.
Everything else is great.

Expeliarmus!

ROFL. It's so ON! July 17th, the latest installment of 8 movies from the best selling book by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter - and the Half-blood Prince. I only read the book once so it's kind of blurred to remember what really happened on book 6. But I'm sure the movie will be hella good.

I want to see it on iMax so bad. But still going to look for the nearest one that has it, and saving the date of course. Latest trailer after the jump.

Movies...

I'm guessing that everybody has seen one.
Watching a movie is just to kill time, have fun, cry, laugh, think, just to-be-with-someone-on-a-date excuse, at least for more people.
When I was back in CA, we used to watch a/2 movies a night, we go out and rent 2 dvd's, my cousin Keith and Renan are a member of this dvd rental (hollywood video I think) store. So whichever a good movie released on a dvd, we hire 'em. Setting up 'the Room', putting out the chips, turning on the subtitles (I sometimes don't get what they were saying so I need em on, and no, I'm not hearing impaired). There you go. To Drama, to Comedy, to Horror or Suspense, to Action or adventure, to Sci-fi or True-to-life, we all have seen one. For every movie we saw, we always makes a comment. These are my reviews, or comments to a movie I have recently seen, and feel free to leave one on what you think about that movie too.

I guess my prediction for Fast and Furious were right too. Went $72.5m on opening day. Sad I didn't have a chance to see it.

I did not really expected that to happen, from the 2001 casts to reunion this year 2009's. Sad I did not go to watch it on opening day. Now I am looking for it to see, and guessing to see it on DVD version or HD at least heh. So Chala, let's go watch it on DVD/HD when it comes out ok?

Now here's my list of movies to watch. (comment on this one, act like a movie critic!)

Watching Right now:
Ghost Town - it's a bit funny hey but I'm still in the middle part of the movie.


• Quarantine - Fill me in on this one.
• Lakeview Terrace - This one prolly be a good one.
• Quantum of Solace - Just so I can say "I've seen it."
• Death Race - another Jason's but dunno if this movie has sense.


Wish I see this on big screen

• Transformers, latest
• Harry Potter, latest also
• Fast and Furious - a No I think.


Movies I recently seen. (I'll update it every time I watch one)

• Prom Night - Hella suck.
• Twilight - I found it good but have to watch it in three sittings just to finish the entire movie. just like another-harry-potter-movie. but not really interested on reading the book.
• The Secret Life of Bees - It was ok. not bad not good.
• Max Payne - From the PC game, do not watch this one. It's just plain boring.
• Slumdog Millionaire - a really good one, definitely a must see movie! ok you can google it now.
• Marley & Me - for every one who owns a pet, at least. Also a good one, I confess, I cried at this one.
• Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - I'm calling it a teenage love, kind of so-so. If you liked Juno, you'll love this one too.
• SAW 5 - My 2nd Best Fave out of 5 SAW movies. The first one is the 2nd.
• Yes Man - I don't like Jim Carey, but this is a good one too, like 'Bruce Almighty'.
• Transporter 3 - Jason Statham's 3rd. Sort of a bond-movie-like, but in a different way, 3.5 stars.
• Role Models - OMG! So funny too! Recommended!
• Pineapple Express - High as a kite! unless you know how it feels, then watch it. 3.5stars for this one.
• Hitman - another from game-to-movie movie. Watch and see. It's a good one.
• Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 - A chick flick, I only watched it for Blake Lively is in it.
• Zack & Miri make a porno - Hilarious, if it pays the bill. I say go for the gold! 3.5 *'s
• Tropic Thunder - I slept on this one. Meaning I got bored. If I do sleep on a movie, meaning no good.
• Eagle Eyes - Jump Jerry! Lol. Really makes you think on what will happen next.
• Indiana Jones - A good comeback, maybe because I've seen it in High def 52 inches TV. 4stars

That's all I have for now... My Review's and To see list will be updated everytime. I only made a few review but feel free to ask if you want to know more about the movie, or fill me in.

Too Fast, yet again.



Fast And Furious: From Yahoo Movies...

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.


Just as I lost my license, came a new movie.
Fast and Furious, so furious that I can't even watch it on the movie house. I'm Guessing it'll be another hit. Well even if not it's not the 'not-another-car-racing' movie you'll see. Seeing that Vin Diesel and Paul Walker behind those wheels, (even in the last movie he showed up right before the ending) will definitely be a good one to see.

I can here the funky / techno / rock sound going on with that movie poster and trailer. Fast dope cars with hydraulics and nitrogen's blowing fire under those mufflers. pretty hot chic's chewing bubblegums and thumping. You don't get to see that everyday, at least for me.

Hitting the gym from a regular basis gets to know somebody who works out at same time of the night. We talked some random stuff and ended up with this movie. Though not always or haven't been to a movie house since like House Bunny I think, does not excite me to go to see another one (unless it will be shown in imax too). I'm saving my first iMax movie to the New Harry Potter, but if it'll be shown in one then yeah, I'm so down of going there.
