Movie: Slumdog Millionaire


Synopsis: Set and filmed in India, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on a game show and exceeds people's expectations, arousing the suspicions of the game show host and of law enforcement officials.

Nice film. I loved the idea of him answering the questions through his experiences. It was very predictable though.

I could not forget the scene wherein he jumped into a shit hole while holding up his movie idol's picture. Talk about disgusting. Made me think twice about eating peanut butter again. Haha! But really, ewww.

Movie: Bride Wars


Synopsis: Liv (Kate Hudson) and Emma (Anne Hathaway), best friends since childhood, are always there for each other, through good times and bad. Even their respective bridal engagements happen within hours. Together they plan their weddings, each to take place at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. But a clerical error and subsequent clash in wedding dates pits the two brides against each other in a competition that quickly escalates into all-out war.


It is every woman's dream to have that perfect wedding to kick off a new chapter in life. I just attended a friend's wedding last Christmas and indeed, everything was perfect. The weather, the ceremony, the food, the gowns etc. Oh well, everyone wants a happily ever after.

Since I'm a sucker for girlie movies, I enjoyed Bride Wars. I found a lot of the scenes funny though most of them were already done in other movies. Both Hudson and Hathaway's characters did a full turn from being best friends to being worst enemies/Bridezilla. Haha!

As usual, I paid close attention to the clothes. Hehe. I loved Anne's gown than Kate's Vera Wang. I think the movie gave Kate more exposure than Anne. I dunno. Hehe.

Even though they parted ways while planing their weddings, in the end, it was their friendship that brought them together.

If you just wanna sit down and watch something that doesn't involve too much thinking *wink* watch Bride Wars.

Movie: The Haunting of Molly Hartley


Synopsis: Molly (Haley Bennett) is a 17 year old girl who has physically recovered from a stab wound inflicted by her mother, but the psychological scars that remain run deep. To help her begin a new life after her trauma, her father has moved her into a new school. With her eighteenth birthday approaching, Molly is haunted by nightmares of her mother's attack upon her while dealing with the stress of being the new girl in school. Symptoms of psychosis that seem to be affecting her seem to foreshadow an onset of the mental illness that took control of her mother's life, but of several different explanations for her distress, the most unforeseen and terrifying is revealed as the truth. Ultimately, Molly discovers that her mother and others who share her mother's concerns want her killed in order to save her from a preordained life as a servant of the Devil.

I didn't really expect much from the movie since I do not know most of the cast, except for gorgeous Chase Crawford of course. It did manage to make me scream a bit while watching. But overall, its kinda crappy, specially the ending.

For me, it was like Gossip Girl turned the The Omen. Prep School, rich kids, parties, mansions, selling the soul to the devil, serving Satan and all that jazz. Though it was kinda creepy when Molly started to hear things and her mother appears out of nowhere. Oh by the way, brace yourselves for nosebleeds. She has them ALWAYS.

The only thing that made me finish the movie was seeing the ever dashing Chase Crawford. Though his acting was very much like his Nate character in GG.

As a whole, its a so-so movie. Not really worth watching in a theater. Hehe

Movie: Eagle Eye


Jerry Shaw and Rachel Holloman are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations--using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move. As the situation escalates, these two ordinary people become the country's most wanted fugitives, who must work together to discover what is really happening--and more importantly, why.

All the while, I thought that there was some woman working for a terrorist tormenting them. Ok, it was the far too intelligent computer who plans to change the current government. I liked the film. I thought that there would be somebody in the end that would be the antagonist. Haha! Good thing she was only made out of cables and hard drives.

I liked the action scenes. The part wherein they were being chased by cops then ended at the pier was exciting. It was brilliant the way the cranes cleared out all the other cars. Well, I'm kinda easy to please you know.

I'm pretty sure that cyber terrorism is just around the corner. Almost everything today is wired. Oh well, come what may.

Movie: Bedtime Stories


Hotel handyman Skeeter Bronson's life is changed forever when the bedtime stories he tells his niece and nephew start to mysteriously come true. He attempts to take advantage of the phenomenon, incorporating his own aspirations into one outlandish tale after another, but it's the kids' unexpected

While watching the trailer, the movie seemed interesting. Imagine telling a story and then it comes to life the next day. Nice. I found the movie too 'pambata'. Well, I guess that was really their target audience. The bedtime stories were somewhat crazy. Imagine a cowboy having a red horse (not the beer) with a black mane and named Ferrari. Crazy huh?

If there's one thing that stuck to me, it was the fact that in life there are no happy endings. We are all bound to pass away at some point and that is not one happy ending for those we leave behind. Though in the movie, Skeeter (Sandler) made the kids believe this reality, the director somewhat opted to end the movie in a positive light. Just like every old school fairy tale we know.

Movie: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


Synopsis: "I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

It would be totally weird for a person to age backwards. Imagine being born old and dying a baby. I loved the movie. I loved Brad Pitt's acting. He looked really old but with the mind of a kid. I saw the playful and inquisitive child in his old eyes. Well, he looked really nice when he was younger. The make up was also good. I did not know that Cate Blanchett could dance ballet. Hmmm. Hehe.

For most parts, the characters were just talking. Not much of action and the like. I appreciated the way the movie was made. It makes you realize a lot of things about life, love and family. It was a big sacrifice for Benjamin to leave his wife and baby. But I understood his point that it would be hard for his wife to raise both him and their daughter. Their daughter needed a father, not a playmate.

The movie is quite long but I wasn't bored watching it. Go! Hehe

Movie: Marley and Me


Synopsis: Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston go to the dogs with Marley & Me, a tale of a couple embarking on the adventure of marriage, career, family, and the world's worst dog. At least that's how writer and newlywed John comes to describe his blonde lab Marley, when he takes the puppy home and finds the fluff ball has an uncanny ability to eat and/or destroy just about anything. As years go by, John and his wife Jennifer contemplate having babies and moving across the country, while Marley grows into 100 lbs. of funny, wild, completely untrainable canine companionship -- as well as one of the most important people in the family. Marley & Me is based on the best selling autobiographical book by columnist John Grogan.


I've always wanted a dog. During the long break, I was back in CDO busy playing with our cute dogs. Too bad I can't have one here in Manila since nobody would take care of him during the day. And just like the movie, my sister told me yesterday that one of our dogs died *sniff*.

Marley and Me made me realize that dogs love you for who you are. They don't care if you have the latest car or what have you. They just need your attention and care. Marley was a walking disaster. Actually, if I did have a dog like him, I would have gone crazy sooner or later.

The movie was not all about Marley but also about the struggle of the Grogans raising a family. It was a heartwarming story. Well, it didn't change my decision on having kids since they drive me insane -- not in a good way. Hehe. I was never a kid-person.

Yuh, the movie was a tear-jerker. I was trying to hide my tears coz I watched it in the office. Haha! If you wanna laugh and cry in one move, Marley and Me is a treat for you.

The Label Whore

Leo: The Label Whore.

Gay Leo ProfileKing of the Jungle? Understatement. Louis XIV built Versailles so that the sun would progress with him from morning into night. Mistresses, lords, jesters, manicurists, haberdashers, horseman, chefs, and hangers-on orbited him like asteroids and applauded his every utterance. That's more like it. Sometimes it gets stressful, having so much delegating to do, but the perks are fabulous. It's never lonely on top. The glamour, the booze and, lest we forget, the boys, will have the rank and file in awe. You know how it works, this social thing. It's not rocket science, really. Give 'em a good time. Make 'em feel like they're with you on the top of the food chain, and they shall come. There's really nothing you can do about it. Kings need attention like Brittney Spears needs the paparazzi.

All this lavish entertainment is going to take money, of course. Good thing you like to lead in business as well as pleasure. You've got a hankering for the corner office, if only because it gets good light and will allow you to show off your vintage modernist furniture to its best advantage. Call it expensive, call it snotty, but under no circumstances call it Ikea. You know the best; that's why you're such a good boss. You can motivate a team with your compliments and encouragement. And you're totally comfortable as the bold entrepreneur, the one who gets a brilliant flash of inspiration and then calls the admins into his office to say "I'll need the details worked out by Monday." You're more of a vision guy than a corporate cog, though you work pretty hard at it. I'd remind you to stick to a strict regimen of beauty-sleep, facials and massages, but you don't need too much encouragment.

You're taste for the finer things in life is probably going to command a lot of your money and time... How do I put this? I know the words "label whore" sound harsh, but brace yourself: label whore. Yes, you. Whatever, you love it. How else would they recognize your majesty, now that capes and scepters have gone out of style? Royalty needs to look the part. Besides, you only like the big names because they make the best rags. It's not the label you're after so much as a guarantee that the fabric and cut are going to be just right. In this era of the tailored suit, that's not a bad idea.

Lesser mortals may ask who died and made you Hillary Clinton. And if they do, please avoid sulking. It's so unattractive. In fact, you might want to take the drastic step of thinking about why a body would say such a thing. Think back. Last time you were out, did you feel the need to lecture about your one pet peeve in this world, men with over-shaped eyebrows? Or your other one pet peeve, the men who love them? Maybe it's the Log Cabin Republicans who really get your goat. Maybe your lecture is directed at a friend who foolishly called his bar crush the very next day. I know, I know, but show some restraint. As the Kristal flows, so does your stream of eloquence. You lecture because you love. You lecture because you yourself know better. And when you've finished, hopefully you'll still have some friends left. Since you're going to pick up the tab, it's entirely likely. But watch it, Leo. Even if you are right, and I concede that you frequently are, nobody likes a know-it-all. Show a little humility, and for heaven's sake, give your friends some credit for being the gorgeous, intelligent, creative people they are. After all, you don't hang out with just anybody. These people are special to you for a reason.

Different people show love in different ways. You know, strokes, folks, and all of that. For you, love and gifts go hand and hand: the expensive bag, the helpful business contact, the lavish compliment. You love to do it and they love to receive it. Just make sure that you're not trading stuff for affection. Learn to take a little criticism from the people who love you. Since you're not exactly what some folks would call approachable, you'll know they're speaking up because they care. Do you really want a pack of yes-men following your around, flattering you and doing whatever you ask? Don't answer that.


Can I just say that this is so me. Haha! Thanks Bem! Haha!

Movie: Transporter 3


Synopsis: Frank Martin puts the driving gloves on to deliver Valentina, the kidnapped daughter of a Ukranian government official, from Marseilles to Odessa on the Black Sea. En route, he has to contend with thugs who want to intercept Valentina's safe delivery and not let his personal feelings get in the way of his dangerous objective.


Since I multi-task a lot. I watch a lot of movies lately and work at the same time. While watching Transporter 3, there were only 3 things that stuck to me: Cars, Action and Hot Jason Statham.

The movie was nice. I do enjoy action films and I did like this one. Well, Jason Statham's charm did a lot of work for me. Haha! He really is hot. I wouldn't mind being stuck with him in a car being chased by mad men. Damn, for his age, his abs rock. Haaay. The woman was kinda hot too. I loved her dress. Hehe.

The fight scenes were exciting. Well, add the fact that he keeps on taking off his jacket and crisp white shirt. Haha! I loved the fight scene in his friend's garage.

Well, that's it. Go watch it if you want to get a dose of action with a hot actor to go with it.
