Aztig!!!! Un n Yun.... Hehe..... I Love Robert Downey Jr.'s self portrayal of Marvel's Iron Man....
What makes Iron Man so good is its rich characters, especially Tony Stark. I’m not sure what sort of preparation Robert Downey Jr. undertook for the role, but the man IS Tony Stark, and he handles the transition from better-than-everyone to humbled-with-newfound-purpose with great expertise. Marvel comic fans will have little to complain about: everything that makes Tony Stark who he is translates to the movie beautifully; his flirtatiousness, his inner turmoil, his wit… It’s all here. Gwyneth Paltrow also shines as Pepper Potts, meshing nicely with Tony’s charm. Ms. Potts is an admirable character, holding herself above the kind of woman that Tony usually involved himself with, yet convincingly worried about the man she has grown to care about. Tony and Pepper have a nicely complicated relationship that is a breath of fresh air compared to the quintessential romantic pairing forced down my throat by other superhero flicks.
Director Jon Favreau added two important elements that flesh out the film: humor and political commentary. Interspersed with the film’s more serious moments, the excellent application of humor ensures that not just comic book fans come away pleased; even movie-goers with absolutely zero former knowledge of Iron Man will very likely enjoy the film. Strong political undertones abound, and Iron Man doesn’t shy away from showing that there are good and bad people everywhere in the world, from all walks of life.
BAD NEWS IS a sequel is a painful two years away. But if Jon Favreau remains the director, I doubt I’ll have anything to worry about. Iron Man is an exceptional piece of work...   | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Drama |
Awwww..... Haha.... Npaiyak ako ng movie n to....
A film directed by none other than Chito S. Roño, starred by the Box Office Queen Ms. Sharon Cuneta, brought to us by the leading movie outfit Star Cinema, got an “A” rating. This rating was awarded unanimously by the 12 members of the Cinema Evaluations Board to Caregiver, the first in Philippine movie history.
With all the talents and excellent rating involved in this movie, we can only expect for the best.
Ms. Sharon Cuneta successfully embraced the essence of a Filipina, a mother, a wife, an OFW, and a caregiver. Her performance presented us the reality of life and life abroad. How we as a nation is perceived by other raises, and how we as a nation can fight in the harshest of conditions. One of the songs in the movie “Saranggola sa Ulan”, is a perfect picture of how the Filipinos live and survive. The impossible becomes possible because we choose to take the first step and actually strive to do something.
Every Filipino can and will relate to this movie. Not just because of the OFW/Caregiver factor but also because of the woman, mother, and wife Susan is (Sharon’s role). This movie also showed how a Filipina has evolved into the woman that she is now, stronger, independent, and more loving.
CAREGIVER is one movie that you must see. The perfect combination of little comic releases in the lines of Susan, displaying a typical Pinoy attribute, and the heavy emotional scenes, will keep you wanting for more. You will find yourself crying all throughout the movie and interestingly smiling in tears as you applaud the intensity of Susan’s willingness to survive without losing her dignity.
CAREGIVER is a movie worth your time and worth your tears. A movie for the entire family, and a movie that will surely bag awards.   | Category: | Movies | | Genre: | Drama |
Windstruck movie has a great cast and a great plot of story that really made me cry... The director is a bit confusing though because of the suicide attempts that the leading actress had.... after those attempts still the actress didn't succeed. The leading actor is really there. You can really feel the love he has for the girl for even if he is dead he didn't stop taking care of her girl and he has never left her side.   | Category: | Music | | Genre: | R&B | | Artist: | Keyshia Cole |
A song from the heart...

"My Sassy Girl" is based on an on-line serial written by Kim Ho-sik that detailed his relationship with his off-the-wall college girlfriend. This was eventually compiled into a best-selling book and caught the attention of director Kwak Jae-young, who wrote the script for the film. The story kicks off with college student Kyun-woo (Korean pop singer Cha Tae-hyun, in his feature film debut) crossing paths with a drunk girl (Jun Ji-hyun of "Il Mare") on a late-night subway. Just before she passes out, the girl looks at Kyun-woo and calls him 'honey'. The other passengers, assuming him to be the hapless girl's boyfriend, demand that Kyun-woo look after her. After carrying her on his back for what seems to be miles, Kyun-woo drops the girl off at a motel. But instead of leaving her and getting on his way, Kyun-woo finds himself intrigued by the nameless girl and vows to do whatever he can to heal her sorrow.
Unfortunately, he gets far more than he bargained as he becomes wrapped around the finger of this strange girl, whose dramatic mood swings are outmatched only by her penchant for sociopathic behavior. When they dine out and Kyung-woo orders anything but coffee, she barks her mantra "Do you wanna die?" and then promptly changes his order to coffee. When her feet begin aching from walking, she forces Kyung-woo to switch his comfortable running shoes for her high heels. And being a budding screenwriter, she demands that Kyung-woo read her wacky treatments, or else face an ass kicking. However, despite these crazy antics (not to mention landing in jail a few times), Kyun-woo finds himself hopelessly hooked on this 'sassy girl'. And though the girl seems to relish in humiliating and belittling those around her, it becomes clear that underneath the brash exterior is a wounded soul who holds a genuine affection for Kyun-woo.
