It’s an orange candy bar, with a twist.

I was cramming to get a new phone since my brother is eyeing for my mobile fone. I was cramming for it 2nd quarter of the year, but at least I was able to get it now. I was doubtful to get it at first though, since there were many bad reviews on its battery longetivity in gsmarena dot com, but when I got it, experienced, then held it, I knew, I didn’t make a wrong decision for buying a cheap phone with capabilities of holding a lot  of songs. Since I’m a music lover, this fone suits me pretty well.

The color made me real ecstatic, coz it’s orange, it’s unique, and it’s different with what other handsets colors nowadays. It’s real light in weight too. Other phones are too bulky and too heavy that you’d rather have in your bag or in your pouch than have it in your pocket.

Although, it doesn’t have java capability nor, blue tooth function, I’m still pretty satisfied with this fone. And If you’re the type that wants to store a lot of mp3 files and doesn’t really wanna spend much for a gadget, I suggest that you get this fone, and you’ll never regret it.

Doughnut drive while having sex

Sex Drive

Sex Drive

I  happened to see this movie while looking for Sex and Breakfast the other day. I tried watching it while waiting for Reality Bites to completely buffer. (I mostly watch movies online. Thanks to online streaming!).

The movie was hilarious, it’s like watching American Pie with a twist, it’s also like watching Girl Next Door due to its sexual content.

The story revolves around an 18 year old virgin, who goes on a road trip to meet and hook up with a girl he met online. The movie was actually based on the novel All the way by Andy Behrens. The movie was directed by Sean Anders.

By the way, the pop punk band Fall Out Boy made a cameo in the film due to Seth Green (one of the actor and executive producer of the film, whose currently close friends with the band.)

It revolves around, friendship, losing virginity, love and hospitality.

A must see movie. I give it 5 stars.

The movie was released October 17th 2008. I wonder why it wasn’t advertised here in the Philippines?

For more info, check out their website here.

It’s like coffee and cigarettes

Well, first off, enough of korean movies, lol. I haven’t watched a senseful movie since after the one that I reviewed here. So I’ll back up and review a not so old movie that I’ve seen early this year.

sex and breakfast

sex and breakfast

It’s an indie film starred  by no other than the child wonder Macaulay Culkin, Eliza Dushku (of bring it on, tru calling), Mexican Actor Kuno Becker (of Goal 1,2,3) and Alexis Dziena.  The story revolves around two couples, struggling to make a spark on their relationship. Then came up a decision were they’d enter an anonymous group sex experiment to freshen their relationship, but little did they know, one of them would make it even worse.

What made me impress here is how, Mac, made a standout performance, because you would really say that he made a big improvement on his acting, he matured alot.

There were too many talking/conversation in the movie that made senseful things, but didn’t really bore me since it made the story more focus on the plot which is: SEX, LOVE and COMMUNICATION.

I’ve much appreciated this one than Before Sunset really. So, you might want to check it out, because as the movie line goes… ‘There’s more to life than sex and breakfast.’

I give it 5 stars. Check out the film website here.

First Love Never Dies…

November 9, 2008 2 comments

My brother is getting into watching korean movies lately. I was doing the usual in front of the pc surfing the internet thingy, and he went out. I received a text message from him saying that I needed to watch a korean movie before going to sleep. He also mention that since I was fond of watching My Sassy Girl, i would definitely also loved the korean movie he wanted me to see, he also quoted, I’d definitely burst into tears while watching it.

I checked the movie into a well known site where you could watch asian movies, then I searched for it. To keep you from excitement, here is the poster of the movie.

A Millionaire's First Love

A Millionaire's First Love

The story revolves between a spoiled young man who does what we wants to do with his money, and a young quiet looking odd girl who appeared in front of him after his 18tth birthday celebration. The two are actually childhood friends, boy left a promise to comeback for the girl. After knowing what he was bound to do, only to realize they only have a few days left to cherish.

The story is well, dramatic, with a twist of comedy.

Although, I didn’t cry, there were words use in the movie, that made me think that those are somewhat true. It’s just that the storyline itself made me think that I have already seen it before.

It’s still worth watching though, you won’t actually say that you have wasted 2 hours of your time watching the movie.

I give it 4 stars.

Fish The Rocker

The Rocker Movie

The Rocker Movie

 

Rainn Wilson stars as Robert “Fish” Fishman, who was unsuccessful, thrown out drummer from the 80′s band Vesuvius. The story evolves with Fish, living his rock and roll dream ’til he was kicked out from the band he founded to begin with. After 20 years of living in a normal life, throwing away all the hopes he had to be a rock and roll star, his nephew Matt (Josh Gad) asked him to be the drummer of the band A.D.D. (Attention Defficiency Disorder).

The band consist of Curtis Wood (Teddy Geiger), the lead vocals and the guitarist,  Amelia (Emma Stone), backup vocals and bassist, Matt Gadman (Josh Gad), keyboards and backup vocals, all there left was the drummer, since their original drummer got suspended from their school. In order for them to play in their prom, they would need to get a drummer, and so Matt decided to ask his Uncle Fish to join them. And so the story goes…

My first reaction was, whatthe, it’s like Rain is the equivalent to Jack Black of The School Of Rock. The only difference is that the band of Jack Black consists of 10-13 year old grade schoolers, equals to Rainn Wilson’s highschool teenage kids who plays well, and need not to be taught anymore.

Anyway, in terms of the comedy side, this made me laugh, really. But in terms of what’s gonna be the next scene, I pretty much know what’s gonna happen to whatever chaos the antagonist will bring, then would soon be alright again, since it’s like the part where, it should be a happy ending type of thing movie.

In terms of the soundtrack, my brother was actually surprise with how Teddy Geiger’s songs were written and played, well I give it an 8.

For the whole movie it self, it’s not that really bad, if you enjoyed School of Rock, you would also definitely enjoy this one. I give it 4 stars.

My Sassy Girl: Comparing the original to the remake.

November 2, 2008 7 comments

I have seen the korean original version of it a couple of times, and it still keeps me chuckling and laughing all over. It’s about a guy who happen to meet a drunk girl who would change his life forever. It’s actually base on a true story although in real life, they didn’t end up being together. The guy, blog about the girl on the internet, and film producer saw his blog and offered to make a film out of it.

The film has been a wild success in Korea, it has even been played in the other countries with their own dubbed version, which also made a hit.

The movie has been divided to two parts (but would also flash a final part). First when Gyeon-woo is showing standing under a tree, telling that he’s supposed to meet the girl who changed his life but didn’t show up, but he’s still going to wait. After that scene, it would show flashbacks about his life and how the two met.

Part 2 shows the dramatic side of the movie, how the two developed their love for each other but never said anything about it, ’til one day, they have to drift apart due to the girl’s father not approved of their relationship. Also this is where the part will show why the girl is acting vicious and sassy. This is the part that will show why Gyeon-woo is waiting under a tree. Final part would show both of ‘em wearing their student uniforms, ready to party.

I give it 5 stars for the storyline and the portrayal. It’s definitely worth watching.

Inserted is the poster of the american version of the movie which stars, Jesse Bradford and Elisha Cuthbert. Names were changed, but most of the scenes were adapt from the original, such as the train incident, the piano playing canon in d, and lastly the  “auntie” in the restaurant talking to the sassy girl.

Due to the familiar storyline and the portrayal of Elisha Cuthbert (looking trying hard to imitate the original actress), it’s like the feeling is really not there, it’s better to just stuck watching the original over and over instead of wasting your time watching the english version. Never the less Jesse Bradford, was great doing comedy stuff for the movie.

I give it 2 and a half stars.

I could be wrong, it’s just my review, watch it and compare both.

Happy viewing. =)

Something different…

I accidentally downloaded a song awhile back, which I don’t know how or where I found about. Anyway, my brother was playing his ipod playlist, and played a couple of their songs, and then, whoala, I got lss (last song syndrome) to one of their songs…

I’m talking about the band called Acceptance.

Although the band has already been disbanded, their music is left to be remembered.

If you want to listen to a band who plays sparkling rock, I recommend Acceptance for you to listen, and you definitely won’t regret it.
