This Is It Posted at 12:57 AM This is really it. No more from the King of Pop. I'm just glad they recorded scenes from his rehearsal for his supposed to be comback concert in London. Kinda makes me sad because the concert would have been grand. The rehearsals alone were great already...so what more for the actual performance? Michael always said in between that he's sorry because he has to preserve his voice and so he didn't exert more effort. I was like...WHAT? He was great already on that level. And he was really picky when it comes to how some instruments should be played. It may sound the same for us, but for him some parts aren't. He's really a pro. I also like the fact that some people from theband got to interact with him directly, like the cool girl who plays the guitar! Michael must have chosen her personally. It really is unfamiliar to have a girl playing a guitar. He gave the spotlight to her. He's back-up singer Judith Hill looked Asian and she was also great. She even had a duet with Michael. Awwwwwww!!!!! The dancers were also personally picked by Michael. There was also a Fil-Am in the roster of 12 main dancers. He's so lucky!!!!!! They were really feeling dramatic about it. As the director have said...they are the extension of Michael. It is an honor to be an extension of Michael! I'm just sad for my mom. She wanted to see Michael Jackson live when he held a concert here in teh Philippines during the 90's. She wasn't allowed to go. Sigh. I know she really feels sad. We only have this last movie of him to hold on to his memory. My most fave scene would be the movie insert for...I forgot the song! It was something about nature. I almost cried. What are we doing to mother nature? Huhu! That was such a good movie insert. I also love the background for THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL...construction workers snapping their fingers while waiting for dawn was so cool! So refereshing. It feels like it is so nice to work (in reality...you know it is another way around). I also love the colorful background that was used for the Jackson 5 songs. I was hoping that Michael will sing with his brothers again. I thought he had difficulty singing one song because he was alone. But maybe it was something to do with the sound. LOL. The upgraded movie insert of the THRILLER song was also great. All the dancers were already in costume! It looked as if it was the actualy performance! Not to mention Michael was weraing fancy clothes all throughout the rehearsal. The only thing missing was an audience. A real audience. SIGH. I enjoyed it. It was a total concert experince with behind the scenes footage. We'll never forget Michael Jackson. |

The Proposal Posted at 08:18 PM
Pretending to be the fiance of someone you really hate is really stressful! No guy would dream of ending up with a witch, but with Andrew and Margaret, thing went well for them...in the end. It is a romantic comedy that makes one laugh all the time. Me and my mom really enjoyed this amidst an almost empty theater. So nice to be able to laugh aloud. It also showed how family is still important, even in the most independence-oriented country in the world. Nothing beats familial relations. Well it wasn't my ultimate fave, but I didn't hate it either. I'm glad my time wasn't wasted to watch this movie. |

Boku Wa Imouto Ni Koi Wo Suru Posted at 01:27 AM If it's Matsujun, I need to watch it! No matter what kind of movie it is!!!! Well at first thought, the plot of this movie was really unusual and had a sensitive nature to it. How would you respond if fraternal twins fall in love with each other? I wouldn't feel easy about it! It is so unusual and doesn't feel right in terms of societal standards. I dunno how brothers and sisters wold responds to that. Maybe YUCK? Something like that. But the twins in this movie really fell for each other. Never did I think that it might be possible. Is it really possible? I dunno. I thought there would something in our genes that won't allow it. Probably societal standards only, but still if I'm not mistaken during the old times it ws okay to marry a relative because they wanted to keep the wealth of the family within their line. Some scenes did not agree with me because I'm a Matsujun fan!! But oh well...it's part of his acting! Haha! We'll do the real thing. JOKE!!!! It was hard between twins...I just thought..."They're just acting!" In the end I also sympathized with them. So sad! Huhu! |

HONEY AND CLOVER Posted at 01:26 AM
The main reason I eagerly wanted to watch this movie was because of Sho sakurai! Wohoo!!! I really love him from Arashi!!! This is my first time seeing him do some acting, aside from doing his hot rap parts from their Arashi songs. Okay, of course he wasn't the only main character(and I forgot the names already! Ugh! I'm aging!!!! I only remember Takemoto, hehe.). It revolved around the stories of art students who experienced life's gift of love and hurt. I sysmpathized so much with Takemoto-san because he really loved Hagu. I wanted him to be with Hagu. Too bad, hagu seemed to like the other guy (what was his name again? LOL). The end seemed open-ended though. takemoto confessed his love and Hagu just said "Arigatou!" and now what? Fast forward, we don't really know. So basically it may be a yes or no. LOL. I am so sure lots of things were left out since this was based on an anime (which had like 26 episodes?) and I have to watch the live action version (with Toma Ikuta-kun!!!!!!!!). I can't wait! I really loved how they were as art students. They looked cool. I wish I was an art student too. Huhu. I also loved the song of Arashi, Aozora Pedal thanks to this movie! Weeeeehhhhh!!!!!!!!!! |

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE Posted at 01:24 AM
I'm so happy I almost forgot all the details of the book before I got to see this movie. But I wasn't really excited about it unlike the previous movies. I'm probably aging...that's why. Well it helped me to feel less disappointed with the movie. But I became disappointed about it after I started to dig up some infos from the book. Drats. As usual it was so fast-paced and even people who haven't read the book noticed that. Could this be the worst movie out of the saga? I couldn't tell but it had its share of positive points. It was balanced when it comes to having both comical and tragic moments. It seemed the cast were more relaxed now (duh, it has been like 10 years already for them) and had other kinds of acting to do especially in the love department. The never-ending argument about scenes that were cut will never cease with movies that were based from books. It will always be the same problem. No movie will come out perfect if it was based from a book. NEVER. My only concern was the last scene. The battle at Hogwarts was so dry. I imagined it to be grand when I read the book. Hope they do something about it when it comes to Movie 7. Good luck. The movie made me want to read the book again because my brain has so many holes about it now. But again, I'm too lazy to read the book again. Hehe. I'll still watch Movie 7 parts 1 and 2. Wohoo!!!!!
