On Zero Dark Thirty

I did not have any background on the film thus I did not have any expectations. All I knew that it was about how OBL was killed. Despite that I still had no clue since I did not follow OBL. Now I am informed! :))

US government, CIA and those special task forces were amazing! OBL was brilliant as well. Like how he kept his identity and how he efficiently operated. They wanted to catch a terrorist and even if years passed by accompanied with deaths and tragedies, they still kept the operation. Their strategies and their “props” were at another level.  It opened my eyes on how way behind the Philippines is in terms of military know how. Also, I realized that I do not know many things. Thus, I should educate myself and update my knowledge on these subject matter.

On My Amnesia Girl

Ang true love ay para sa matatapang na tao lamang.
Duwag ako, at hindi siya matapang... kaya ito ako... at andun siya.


Ang utak pwedeng makalimot pero ang puso laging nakakaalala.
Kahit ilang oras, linggo, buwan at taon ng nakalipas, hindi parin nalilimutan.

Movie 4: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Vicky and Cristina are two young American women who come holiday. Vicky is sensible and holiday. Vicky is sensible and engaged to be married; Cristina is emotionally and sexually adventurous. They meet a flamboyant artist, Juan Antonio, and his beautiful but insane ex-wife, Maria Elena that results in a hilarious and harrowing experience as they all become amorously entangled.

I found the movie attention grabbing because it gave a glimpse of the Spanish culture, particularly picturesque sights of Barcelona and Oviedo. In addition, the characters were fascinating as they interacted in a complex twist of interesting relationships. There were many punch lines or so-called quotable quotes in halting English that struck me. Yes, call me a hopeless romantic.

Only unfulfilled love is romantic. You need to find the missing ingredient to make your love complete. What makes it romantic is that you have something to look forward in the course of finally fulfilling your unfulfilled feelings. Nevertheless, once you have found the missing piece, would emotion still be the same?

Love is complicated. Two people may be meant for each other and may not be meant for each other. Love is a contradiction.

2009: Movie 1: Baler

In 1898, a band of Spanish soldiers heroically defended Baler in Quezon province against Filipino forces for 337 long and grueling days. The battle, now referred to as the Siege of Baler, is the setting of a forbidden love between an Indio soldier and a Filipina lass who lived at the end of the 19th century

The movie was okay considering the fact that I had no idea what it was all about. It was an epic drama that gave a sort of sneak peak of Philippine history. It also caught my attention cause there were conversations in Spanish. Despite the not so good editing and whatever you may call that (reading a letter with the light/lamp below) the performances of the actors and actresses involved were exceptional. Even if "Filipina" daw si Anne Curtis with all her mestiza looks, she portrayed her role very well. Sexy ni Fafa Jericho. Poor Bravo = Puppy. :( All in all, I guess it was a good movie since my aunt did not fall asleep and her husband was able to under the film thanks to the subtitles.

Quotable Quote: "Love is difficult in times of war."

10 Things I Hate About you

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car.
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Movie 37

88 Minutes

My brother wasn't up for a "heavy/serious" dvd, so we ended up with this suspense film. It was not a bad film. It made me say "Oh my gulay"! Haha. In addition, it lived up to what my mom said.. a thriller.

But next time, please do not make Al Pacino run... he is too old for that.
:)

Movie 36

Rouge Assassin

Since the 8pm showing of Adam Sandler's movie was already sold out, we decided to what this movie instead. I had no idea what it was about... I only knew Jet Li was one of the actors therefore I had this equation.. Jet Li = fighting scenes. And guess what, there were a number of blood spilled every now and then. Not only that there was also a car chase and even a motorcycle chase! Then again, the were some parts were not that smooth... or maybe they intentionally cut/deleted those scenes to make it a PG-13 movie.

(Note to self: get an uncut version)

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the movie. It had twists. And who wouldn't enjoy Jet Li?
