I skipped Valentine's Day.

One reason is because I'm bitter that I don't have a date.
And second, because I have a reason.

I spent Valentine's Day in the hospital. My sister got admitted for a pimple that got infectious.
I just realized it was a complete Valentine's Day reason to be in a hospital.

But anyway, we watched the movie "Friendship" with Mario Maurer as the male lead.

The movie was okay.
I love the wackiness of their friendship.
But the love story...
Not so okay. I was looking for the feel of his another movie "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" but I didn't find it.
And the ending was not okay either.

Then the next day, my sister was discharged one or two hours after lunchtime.

So we went to the cinema and watched "Unoffically Yours."
Not because it was a unique film because immediately after I watched the trailer, in my mind sparked the "No Strings Attached" and "Friends With Benefits" movie.
But because I like John Lloyd Cruz' and Cathy Garcia-Molina's romcoms.

It's okay but kind of disappointing.
The story was cliche in the first place but I don't mind, but then the storytelling was just too plain.
I was really going for the "comedy" part of the film.
I find it funny, especially the sex scene montage where Mackie's three "boyfriends" (with Epifania) are pretending not to mind. I was looking for the feel of "My Amnesia Girl" wherein it was funny all throughout the movie but I did not find it.

Anyway.

Belated Happy Hearts Day people.
Enjoy the luvin'.

Labels: love, movie review

I've downloaded the script of this movie yesterday and finished reading it last night.
At first I was in doubt but then there are indeed scenes in the script that I saw in the trailer.

And now? I've watched the movie!

I feel it's creepy.
Reading a book and watching the movie was very different.
You know what's going to happen but not how it's going to happen.
I just feel it's creepy that I already pictured the scene in my mind and so it's like I had watched the movie the second time even though I had just seen it.

I'm not giving comments because I was quite confused.
But I do love it, both reading it and watching it.
I am a sucker for fate and destiny stuff. A few months ago when I watched the trailer, I thought it was an action film, I mean super action film. But it centers on the David and Elise's love and fate. The action is just a part of it.

They say you would question free will and stuffs like that when you watch the movie.
Maybe just like how 'Inception' had...
But this is not as deep as Inception in my own opinion.

All I can say about the movie is (this is sort of a spoiler of the ending):

"Love conquers all."

Labels: attraction, dream, life, love, movie review

Lesson of the Day:

"Look closely."

The movie was ok. I don't know if it's just me or it is really the movie...
But I think it was good enough. At many points:
1) The new tandem... pwede!
2) John Lloyd like you've never seen before. It's not in the funny ways of John Lloyd that my friend and I were laughing at but at the fact that, as I quote Espe, "Nadura respeto ko kay John Lloyd. Daw kagalang-galang man na."
3) It's not like "50 First Dates"! All they have in common was the amnesia thing... and maybe a persistent other half... but the story is a whole lot different. It's more of a story of forgiveness, second chances, and taking hold of your love once you found him.
4) The banat-lines-overload. It was just funny... the corny-ness I mean.

(Many points tapos 4 lang?)

Just watch it. It's a fresh "funny" story after the fresh "aching" story of Kimerald.

PS

I forgot the most important part of my movie experience.

As the movie starts, John Lloyd was narrating about how we overlook things... His point was, maybe the one for us had gone by but we just failed to notice, literally na ha.

As the credits rolled and the lights turned on, Espe and I realized we are surrounded by our classmates. Three were just two seats away from me and the other two were seated at the back. We just laughed there at the cinema, not knowing that we have been watching pala together at close proximity.

Instant application ng sabi ni John Lloyd.

Kaya malay mo, when you watch this in the cinema, nakaupo lang pala sa paligid mo ang one for you?

Cheezy.

One-liner: Super looove it!!!

Why?

1. It was not the usual girl-gets-rocketed-into-popularity-from-invisibility-and-then-realizes-it-is-destroying-her. The film took the 'slut' plot differently. Basta.
Although you sort of know where the film is taking you, the way it was told was nice, fresh, and gripping... char.

2. I've learned about The Scarlet Letter. I had been previously curious what is it about, all I know is that it's an immortal work of literature, but never had searched for at least the plot. What's the big deal with the scarlet letter? And young as I was, I thought scarlet was some violet. Well, I sort of understood it with Olive's two-second summary. And understood that scarlet is a red.

3. Chivalry. Nice one. Who doesn't want those kind of things? And that movie when the guy shot his fist in the air in victory after the girl says yes to him... awww.

4. Nice cast. Nice characters. I think they all played their role well. And I was surprised Amanda Bynes was there... blonde. Wala lang. With each character, you'll both love and hate them. I love Olive's parents too. They're the best!

5. The Huckleberry Finn thing. Haha!

6. Olive's corsets. Plus the A. And the "A"ttitude.

7. The Almost Kiss thing. That's sweet.

8. Last Song Syndrome with the song A Pocketful of Sunshine. Me too, after watching the movie twice in the cinema.
Nice soundtrack...

9. Her resolution. It was simple but requires lots of guts- from going to each and every person to confess to the webcast thing.

10. How lessons in class (or for some instances, movies you've just watched, songs you've just heard, signboards, quotes) strike you, just in sync with what you are going through right at that moment. Me GUILTY!
Almost everytime... hehe.

Watch it!
For me it's worth it.

These reviews are influenced by my mood when I watched the film so read further at your own risk.

Ben X

I never heard of the film but the cover says it had won awards and was supposed to be a Belgian entry but failed to receive actual nomination in the Best Foreign Language Film category of Academy Awards 2007, so I bought it anyway.

The film was about Ben. He had Asperger’s Syndrome.
According to Wikipedia...

Asperger syndrome or Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development.

Ben goes to a school with normal kids and because of his condition, he was always bullied. His only escape is the game Archlord wherein he is in a very high level and he was considered a hero, where he can fight anyone else. He was accompanied by a healer named Scarlite. Usually, she becomes his strength. This is based on a true story of a boy with Asperger’s who commited suicide because of bullying.

Reactions:

• At first, I find the language odd in the ears. Maybe because it’s just now that I’m watching a European film (although I had watched Let The Right One In before, which is Swedish). I was saying maybe I was used to Korean and Japanese. I adjusted anyway, and so I found the movie engaging. I think the progress of the story was good, you really get to understand someone with Asperger’s, his world, and also see the intensity of the bullying.
• I think I love the film all in all (maybe because of the psych part), but I think I was just weirded out with the suicide part, though I totally understand his intentions, the creative suicide thing.

Letters to Juliet

I’ve seen a comment in YouTube saying how Amanda Seyfried loves “letter” films (remember Dear John?), wala lang, it was a nice observation, hehe.

Anyway, I bought this because I just saw it and it was the only new film which is a love story, just plain love story, because I was in the mood for a light love story.

The film was a web of cliché storylines: boy and girl in a relationship but boy doesn’t have a lot of time, finding a lost love, some realizations of who you really love, in short, you know how the story goes as well as know the ending.

But I love it, I don’t know, maybe because I’m in the mood for a love story? And whenever that happens, I was such a sucker for cliché romance? I really don’t see the point of liking the movie since I really don’t like Amanda Seyfried (ever since Mamma Mia! and most especially when I knew she’ll play Savannah in Dear John), it wasn’t so much of a comedy when they were claiming it’s a romantic-comedy, and blah blah blah.

But I didn’t get bored, and I guess I know why...

Because all the while I was thinking of finding my Romeo too (hay nagdrama duman ko ah)...

Camp Rock 2

I guess I watched it because I was curious how the part 2 will go. I was not hooked. I kept on changing channels, to Star Movies with the movie Fired Up!, even though it was the singing/dancing scene. I don’t like the songs. And I was really thinking they went from the “Glee-format” to “HSM format”. In part 1, they sing and dance because it is really in the story that they are singing and dancing. In part 2, they just break into the singing and dancing parts and have conversations through singing and dancing. Also, I don’t feel the Shane-Mitchie team up, they seem to be good in part one.

I also didn’t find the last performances a blast.

I think the only blast was the movie trailer.

That’s all.

Lesson of the Day:

"They say, you can't serve two masters at once. Sometimes, we are caught in between two passions. But then, sometimes, we can create our best-est if we combine our two passions."

I don't know if you understand that.
For me, it's like having passion for dance and writing.
Then comes the day when you have to choose a course, a major.
My point is not really like Moose's situation who takes a double major.
My point is that you can't just simply forget about one passion just because you chose the other.
For example, you chose writing. But then sometimes, your other passion can take you to the peak of what you have chosen, like writing an award-winning piece about dancing.
See my point?

STEP UP 3D

I don't care about the haters out there, but I love Step Up movies, and I'm an avid fan. I liked the first, and then I liked even more the second (which I think was one of the few effective sequel movies).
And today, I watched the 3rd movie, and it's in 3D.

One-liner review:
The story was cliche and dialogue a bit cheesy, but it is visually stunning, entertaining... and was so good in 3D!

Story: It's the usual go for your dreams like the other Step Up films, usual dance battles, usual betrayal plot, usual LQ stuff. But what I like with this 3rd film was that it did not only focus on one couple, and that the story does not revolve with this certain couple. Aside from the Luke-Natalie, there's the Moose-Cam, which I loved more than the main couple. Then there's Luke's film-making dream. It does not purely revolve around the dance dreams, but also with different other things (enters my LOTD, if you can catch up with my train of thought, hehe).

Also, the story was "cheesy" here and there, the dialogue, the advices, the encouraging words, the catch-me-if-you-can/hide-and-seek of Luke and Natalie, though I kinda like that, hehe. I think it has subtlety in portraying dance as an art in the story (but definitely not subtle visually, ok I'll get there later). Also, it's like there's too many subplots, but too little story, that's what I think.

What I like:
1) 3D! Ok, when I found out about another installment of the film, I was so excited because I'm a fan, but more so, it was because it's on 3D. Then I was thinking, is it worthy to be in 3D? I mean, it's a dance movie and in my head, 3D films are just for fantasy films with visual effects or animation films. Though the story was a bit off, I think paying for 3D was worth it anyway because I would agree with some critics who said that 3D wasn't used to its full potential than this film.
2) The Moose-Cam dance scene. So love it! They are both great dancers. I realized Adam Sevani can't just do hip-hop but everything else. And I think, Alyson Stoner finally had a good role. She was always a super extra, and even though she was a good dancer, she was only given a few second clips.
3) Visual excellence. For me, it's visually excellent. Not only with the effects for 3D but also with the Vault (I'm not sure if I'm right). They made a really cool place, I wish I could have a home like that too. Haha! About the dance scenes, here's what I particularly love:

-the kids! It's like Showtime wherein groups incorporate dancer kids in their dance routines because hip hop kids are really audience-amusing. The little girl really rocked it!
-the variety. Ok, it's cliche enough to have ballet + hiphop in many films. Here, there's more. There's capoeira, robotic thingy, etc. And then there's this thing about climbing and jumping off buildings---wait, searching on Google---I think it's Parkour/Free running, in the scene of Natalie and Luke. I was just amazed with this kind of acrobatics or something when I first heard of it in a documentary show on TV.
-the LIGHTS! I think it is the main ingredient for the movie to be in 3D. Haha! I just sooooo love the last scene that I couldn't help clapping my hands after the scene. Gosh!

Ok that's it.
I have an NP to finish, and a duty tomorrow eventually.
Haha!

I've watched these films days ago, I just remembered posting my thoughts now.
=)

TWILIGHT lesson:

I'll summarize:
1) It gets better and better, maybe because Eclipse 'has a plot' compared to New Moon which had little story. And maybe because it's more on action. But for me, it still has no "wow" factor. It's just famous, that's all.
2) Hindi na uso ang torn-between-two-lovers theme. Ang bago? Both sila love mo, kaya lang you love one more than the other. And then merong martyr here and there. Oh well.
3) The movie? K lang. Maybe because I hadn't read the book (the only book I had not read because Eclipse wasn't available noon so I jumped to Breaking Dawn, nung available na ang Eclipse, I lost enthusiasm).

THE BACK-UP PLAN

The movie received a lot of negative reviews.
Maybe because it lacked in some movie elements.

But for me, when I watched the movie, I didn't think of movie elements at all.
I don't know, I find the movie funny. As in.

What I especially like is the development of their relationship. I can feel it building. And I really like how the guy shows he really hates the idea of having a child but then because he loves her, he has to deal with it.

That's all. I don't care about you haters of the film. I liked it.

Labels: attraction, family, love, movie review

Lesson of the Day:

"There are indeed times when we get detached from reality because we want to live in an alternate world we created to suit our needs and desires. But then, we should always remember to go back- and accept- reality, the world we are truly in. There's only a thin line that separates sanity from insanity."

I watched this film because I believed the movie review of glentot and the Rotten Tomatoes rating of 87% more than my teacher saying she doesn't like the movie. She said maybe it's because she wasn't in the mood, or something.

I guess it's because if you want to watch this film, you have to really open your mind and understand the film. But then if you are after the action scenes and not the story, this movie is still for you.

What I like:
1) The dream layers, dream-within-a-dream concept. I was kind of thinking my sister wouldn't appreciate the movie but in the scene where they entered another dream level, she was amazed. Me too.
2) The action scenes, especially the hotel scene. It's like watching 3 action movies simultaneously... one action movie in each dream layer...
3) The story itself. It still has this cliche dream vs reality but this explores deeper into your subconscious. Real genius.

Worth watching!

Movie sort-of-review

Shutter Island
This movie was a psychological suspense/thriller/mystery. The story is set in a mental institution wherein Daniels (Di Caprio) was investigating about the disappearance of the patient Rachel Solando.

My comments:
1) While watching the movie, I was saying it's so Scorsese even though I'm not familiar with Scorsese films. I think that's a compliment for the movie.
2) Nice cinematography, nice everything, it displayed murder in a creative way.
3) The story is good, good twist. But I guess being a student nurse who had undergone Psych exposure, I kind of figured Patient 67 right after that scene where Daniels saw it on a piece of paper. Sort-of-spoiler! Also with the photosensitivity, the headaches, and the hallucinations that was just masked as dreams.


Couples Retreat
Four couples go on a retreat/vacation for couples.

My comments:
1) It has a star-studded cast. They were all amazing.
2) I like the plot wherein they discover the patches in their relationship, especially with Vaughn's and Akerman's characters, wherein they thought their marriage was perfect.
3) It bored me. I slept midway the film. It was supposed to be a rom-com, but I was neither laughing or feeling in love.

Cyborg girl
A Japanese movie about a guy falling in love with a cyborg girl. She was not just any cyborg, she was sent from the future by the guy's future self... and she was modeled after his dream girl whom he met a year ago.

1) Sort of boring from the start.
2) I super love the actress who was playing the cyborg girl, Ayase Haruka. My sister was saying, "She's the girl version of the AI guy (Haley Joel Osment)." My sister was really amazed at how HJO acts perfectly as a robot that she was saying in every movie where HJO was, she always thinks he's a robot. So it was the same amazement with this actress, she moves like a robot, she can be in a frozen state like a real mannequin, blah blah blah.
3) For me, it has a nice ending, nice twist, nice explanation or fix to the questions hanging along the movie. But I think it wasn't executed just right.
4) Does Japanese movies always end or have earthquakes somewhere in the story? I think it's the earthquake part that was kind of odd to be in the already perfect mood of the story. But it plays a role in the plot, so...

Whip It
A small town teenager joins a roller derby.

My comments:
1) Drew Barrymore did great with her directorial debut. Just another teen movie discovering her passion but in a rockin' kind of way.
2) Can't help loving roller derby. Of course, it was so alien to me, who skates these days? At first I had trouble understanding the rules but later in the movie, I was like: I want to establish a roller derby here in the Philippines! Haha! Like I can do that, I don't even know how to skate! But I wish for a pair of roller skates for my birthday, I want to learn badly!
3) Ellen Paige was excellent, and I love the Mayhem girl and the antagonist girl and the Kate-Hudson-only-slightly-bigger girl, and Smashley Simpson (Drew Barrymore). Also Pash, the bestfriend.
4) I love how Maggie Mayhem makes her realize that even though she had found a new family with the Scouts, Bliss doesn't have to turn her back on her family. Now, that's a good mother! I don't know but for me, in the movies I've watched with this plot, the protagonist usually pursues their passion without even looking back that much as Bliss did in this movie.
5) Most of all, I love how the Scouts are so happy being 2nd (there are 2 competing groups only). But then later on, of course they realize they can't be the forever losers. They just do what they have to do, and they're having fun with what they do.

I love Whip It!

Lesson of the Day:

"Life isn't perfect. It's messy."

I spent my night at the boarding house last night to prepare for our duty. This movie was showing in Star World. I've watched it already but since manang was watching it, I watched too.

My opinion:

1) I love the concept Bride Wars, just like Mafia Wars, Vampire Wars, Fashion Wars, and all other "wars" in Facebook. Ha. Ha.

2) Kate Hudson was a good actress. Anne Hathaway is a good actress. But then, somehow, the Hudson-Hathaway team-up has no chemistry.

3) They're just childish. The movie was just all about how they ruin each other's wedding so that the audience will have something to laugh at. Even though the movie was about their friendship ruined by their desire to have their weddings memorable, I can't really feel the friendship between Liv and Emma.

Sidenote:

If I were to choose a gown, I'll choose Liv's. =)


I just passed by a blog who is also participating. I thought it was cool and at the same time, I consider it as a challenge even though busy-busyhan ang girl sa life because of the start of summer duty. I don't think there are any prizes or some administrator checking up on your blog or whatsoevers. It's plainly writing an entry everyday for the whole month of May.

To be honest, that is just what is clear to me. Haha!

Side lesson:

"An 'I'm busy' excuse is unexcusable."

I'm having many requirements and yet I'm doing this one-entry-a-day-for-every-day-of-May challenge. Even though I'd say this just feeds my net addiction, for me, it just shows that if a person really want something, he/she wouldn't make the cliche excuse I'm busy.

People always have time for whatever they want.

Lesson of the Day:

"In being vulnerable, you risk judgment, but more importantly, you chance being understood."

I've watched this movie in Youtube, heard of this movie a long time ago. I'm interested because it received positive feedbacks, and especially that Rotten Tomatoes considered it certified fresh (97%!).

It is another vampire story but this one's different. Maybe it's because they were 12-year-olds... in youtube, it was compared to Twilight. About that thing, my only comment would be this: Twilight is a fairytale version of vampire lore. And for me, I prefer the dark side of the vampire story and maybe that's why I like this movie.

What I love:

1) This scene:
[Oskar]: Eli, want to go steady?
[Eli]: What do you mean?
[Oskar]: Do you want to be my girlfriend?
[Eli]: Oskar, I'm not a girl.
[Oskar]: But do you want to go steady or not?
[Eli]: Couldn't we just keep the things the way they are?
[Oskar]: I guess...
[Eli]: Do you do anything special when you go steady?
[Oskar]: No.
[Eli]: So everything’s the same?
[Oskar]: Yes.
[Eli]: Then we’ll go steady. It’ll be you and me.

2) Oskar and Eli's relationship. It's like you don't have to ask questions (because their relationship was kind of weird and complicated). I just felt it and that's enough.

3) Vagueness of the movie. This was based on a novel and as I've known from Wikipedia, the novel is supposedly darker and the director had to cut these issues (drugs, pedophilia, etc) because he wants to focus on the relationship of Oskar and Eli. I wish I could read the book too.

4) This comment from Rotten Tomatoes:
"It’s everything Twilight wanted to be but wasn’t: beautiful to gaze at, achingly romantic, emotionally involving, unexpectedly terrifying."

Obviously, I have been seeing a lot of movies these days. I'll be talking about movies again.

Lesson #1:

"Sometimes, what you are looking for is right where you left it."

Movie #1: Sweet Home Alabama

This is one of my favorite films, one of the films that I don't care how many times I've watched. It showed days ago in Star Movies.

Basta, I love this movie. Super.




Lesson #2:

"Keep moving forward."

I have watched about 1/4 of the movie only, but I think I got the idea.

I will not tell the story because in the first place I really don't know about it. All I can say is I like it because I was a sucker for time travel stories.

Time-travel-plot-sucker!

In this movie, Lewis was an orphan, thus his past doesn't really play a part except that he wishes to see his mother who left him there. Blah, blah, blah. He went to this future and found an odd family which he gradually loved. *Spoiler alert* It turns out it was his own family... in the future.

What I liked:

1. He was about to leave the future to return to his own time but it seemed like he doesn't want to leave. Wilbur told him that it's not like he will not see them again. It was 'his family' after all.

2. Wilbur took him to the night Lewis' mother left him in the orphanage. He had the chance to touch her or talk to her but he didn't. When Wilbur asked him why, he said, "I already had a family."

All he had to do is to keep moving forward for someday, he will have the family he had been wishing for.


Yesterday, I went to my highschool classmate's birthday held in his house.

I really had fun, seeing my highschool friends there gain, chatting with them and keeping up with them.

After a long time, naka-joyride ko liwat sa tricycle ni Nong Kokak. Though, it was just in Mina. I planned to go to Casalsagan too but then my grandparents next door were calling me already.

Argh.

But that was okay.

It's good to be with my friends again.

*********************************

Lesson #3:

"Although love is game that should be played well, it still takes honesty and not manipulation to make it work."

It was a typical love story of a perfect guy and a not-so-perfect-girl who fell in love because of their clashed beliefs where one realizes that his/hers was wrong. But I love the story development and how it ended. For me, it had convinced me that a perfect guy could fall for a not-so-perfect girl. That is unlike some movies or TV shows which, in a snap, he just realizes he's in love with the stupid-acting girl because he loves making fun of her. I think that would be nonsense.

Anyway, they had this scene where Robin Heiden (Mr. Perfect) was telling Min-joon (the not-so-perfect girl) about the reasons why her past relationships doesn't work. He was pointing out that she just gives everything in the relationship which turns her into the underdog of the relationship. When Min-joon's ex-boyfriend returns to her, she asks his help to make the relationship work this time around. And then, this ex-boyfriend opened up to Min-joon that he had noticed her change and that he misses the old Min-joon who was all-caring, etc. Then Min-joon confronts Robin saying:

"I’m curious. What if, in manipulating people, we lose the pleasure of an honest conversation? Why use manipulation if we can’t discover one’s true feelings?"

That's it.

And also, I love Daniel Henney.

Yah.

I've watched the movie last night because my friend recommended it. I loved it just until midway. This is based on a comic or something of the same title or also called A Chance of Sunshine. I've taken this summary of the comic from a blog:

It was such a simple story, a story that can't be simpler. There was a girl and there was a boy. They lived next to each other, where a wall is shared by the building they lived in. They lived in this small city and they went across each other everyday many times. But, she always turned left when she went out the building and he always turned right. She always turned left at the tube station and he always turned right. She always looked at left side in the bus and he always looked at the right side. Just like this, they have been there for on one knows how long but never meet. One day, just that one day, the joke in the heaven came down to the earth. The big shower made them know the existence of each other for the first time in the park. Maybe love did happen on the first sight. At least in their case it did. The shower stopped and they had to go. So they exchanged their numbers. But right after they parted, both of them lost it. Then, in the little city with nothing special, there were two people seeking their love. They were looking everyplace they knew of, everything they could think of. Every night, they were sleepless and sat in their room and listened to the same song. They passed away each other just in the same way while she turned left at the same place where he turned right. Two hearts had finally been broken and the pain made them unable to stay in their city of sadness so both of them decided to leave, in the same day. At that day, the girl left the building and went to the park for the last time and so did the boy. They stood there on the lawn where there was only a big tree separate them. Both of them didn't say a word, didn't know the existence of each other either, and at the end, the girl went left and the boy went right. They never meet again.

I believe that was supposedly the story. However, with movie adaptations, they always tend to change the story. For me, the first half was already "solemn"... you know, you can feel the pain of being star-crossed. I just don't like them putting an another-girl-and-another-boy who supposedly knew about their faith but then made a pact that they will keep them apart. I don't know how to explain it, sorry if you're confused. All I can say is that the another-girl-and-another-boy had destroyed the solemnity of the story. They just looked stupid. If they were not acting funny, I would have liked the concept of another-girl-and-another-boy who are keeping the main characters apart. Haiz.

Also, I didn't like the ending. It was like a joke.

I would have loved it if they stick to the original storyline, even though it's kind of tragic, sort of. But then it's a movie and they have to make it interesting, whatever.

The movie had mentioned about parallels, going the same directions but never meet.

Also, there was this nice poem used. It was a Polish poem by Wislawa Szymborska.

I've watched this film a few nights ago. I love the humor of the film and loved every kid in the film, really. It was told in a number of shorts, and when it was about to end, episode five, I was like, "Huh? Asta lang episode five?" For me, it's super entertaining.

Movie's lesson:

"Be careful what you wish for 'coz you just might get it." - a line from When I Grow Up by Pussycat dolls

also...

"Having the power to have anything you want can be dangerous especially if you don't know your limits."

What would you wish for if you have the rock?

Comments will come later as I have to sleep for now.

Uhm, I changed my mind. I can't wait 'til morning to comment on this movie.

All I can say is that I love this film whether you think it is nonsense or it is a dark film or that it has a message.

The actress playing Alexandria (the little girl) was just soooo innocent. Read it in Wikipedia about how she played it so naturally.

And also, I love Lee Pace here. I knew I know him somewhere. He's the guy in Pushing Daisies. But then his character here was different and I like how he carried it. He is just perfect as the Bandit.

FYI, this movie is one of the many movies that has a trailer which says it all. But I'll say that watching the whole movie is still worth it.

Below is one of the scenes which I think the little girl was so natural with her reaction during her interaction with Roy. You'll love her.
