This is part of the L movie poster:

And this is me with L:

Haha! This picture was actually taken last year at the Hataw Hanep Hero 2007 at SMEX. That guy really looks like L, a bit thinner but still looks and acts like L. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, the L movie (the spinoff/prequel of live-action DN 1 and 2) which I mentioned months ago, has now the official title of L Change the World. It will hit Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan cinemas this Saturday, February 9. How I wish movies like this will also be shown here. I guess I just have to wait for the DVD release.

Prison Break has taken yet another twist now that they’re taking Michael out of SONA. I know some of its viewers do not have the same interest in the show as they did during the first two seasons because the stories are getting more absurd and there’s the perpetual entanglement of everybody to the Company. Well, if they define everything, the show ends, right? Maybe they could just finish the story where Michael will suddenly wake up and it was all just a bad dream. Lol.

Speaking of Michael, I think Wentworth is indeed doing a good job portraying this role as this smart and tough prison inmate. There are gay rumours about him which may or may not affect the female viewership of Prison break. As for me, I was a little bothered about it at first, but I don’t really care. He’s a good actor and he’s still hot.

Here’s a video of Wentworth Miller taken from an old TV show, Popular. Shaking his head with an attitude and snapping his fingers like that, hilarious!

Here’s another one. This video of Mariah Carey is a proof that Wentworth’s a hottie.

I know I studied Beowulf back in high school but I don’t really remember much of it. Well I guess the movie will help enlighten me a bit about this epic poem if it sticks to the original. Even if it doesn’t, I don’t really mind, I’m sure it will just be equally entertaining. Tomorrow Beowulf will open in a lot of theaters in the metro including the SM IMAX. So if you want to watch it in 3D, visit the SM IMAX theaters.

You may check the IMAX schedule here.

Reserving a ticket via

(a) email to imax@smcinema.com,
(b) fax at (02) 556 0547 or
(c) telephone numbers (02) 556-IMAX (4629) or 556-0242

is pretty useless if you can’t go to the IMAX ticket booths at SM Mall of Asia three (3) days before your preferred show time. In their website, I didn’t find a notice saying that reserved tickets must be paid 3 days in advance. I found out about it when I called 556-IMAX. Oh well…

Edit:
When I called SM IMAX again, they told me I may pay at any SM branch for reserved tickets.

After more than a week of prodding and telling me how good Neil Gaiman’s novels were, I agreed to watch Stardust with Ali. And I’m glad I did. I thought it would be something like Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter adventure type film. Personally, I don’t really like that genre. Good thing Stardust turned out to be enchantingly wonderful with just the right amount of sweetness. I can even watch it again and still be entertained as I did the first time. (more…)

I haven’t played Grand Theft Auto but some say that its negative publicity made the game more popular. GTA games allow the player to take on the role of a criminal in a city. Coca-Cola has a different take with this GTA-inspired Coke commercial. For me, it’s not bad at all. I really like the message of the song.

You give a little love and it all comes back to you
You know you’re gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do…

Maybe you’d like to see (or see again) these movies during the weekend. In my opinion, these are absolute feel-good movies. Well, not so much with Pay It Forward because it’s quite tragic, but a very good movie nevertheless.

Pay It Forward (2000)
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)
The Replacements (2000)
Glory Road (2006)
Forrest Gump (1994)

All of these films, in one way or another, inspires us to improve our lives as well as others and strive for excellence everything that we do. If you want to add something to the list, I’ll be glad to hear from you. Happy weekend!

What is The Secret? You probably heard about it, a lot of people have. It’s been making headlines and Oprah even dedicated an entire episode of her show to feature this amazing film. Well, in case some of you don’t know, The Secret is actually a 2006 documentary film about The Law of Attraction presented in forms of interview and dramatization of everyday situations that people can easily relate to. I’m really glad that Jude introduced me to this film a few months back. Just a week after that, my mom was asking me if I’ve heard of it because my aunt from NC told her that it’s an inspiring film.

Check out this trailer so you’ll have a better idea of what I’m talking about.

Yep, I’m actually not ashamed to admit it, we’ve been intently watching Hana Yori Dango the past few days. It’s really fun to watch. You should see Ali’s post about this too. Ali sent me a copy of Planetarium by Ai Otsuka. It’s the theme song from Hana Yori Dango and my current ringtone for him. I guess I’ll just ask him to post it here and maybe over at ArtiKulet too so you kids can listen to it. I just love its melody. It sounds really melancholic yet hopeful.

Ali being a really sweet chibi (*lol*) that he is, posted another song that I like at ArtiKulet. Surprisingly, it also has the word planet in the title. It’s actually from the anime series Law of Ueki, Kokoro no Wakusei ~Little Planets~.

When I first watched Prison Break on TV, I became curious on how the show would progress and how it will keep its viewers interested with such a plot. I watched the first few episodes but then I wasn’t able to continue because I always come home late. Then I forgot all about it.

A couple of months ago, Ali brought home a Prison Break DVDs that he borrowed from a friend. We watched it with my brother sometimes after work and we have Prison Break marathons during weekends. We all got kinda hooked. (more…)

When I was a kid, I had an aunt who taught me origami. We folded boats, hats, flowers and my favorite - paper cranes. I’ve always liked creating paper cranes because it seemed a bit complicated when I was little. Every time I finish one, I feel so happy. Then I’d do another. And another. Oh, I had so much fun with origami.

In Fox’s TV series Prison Break, paper cranes play an important part. The main character, Michael Scofield leaves paper cranes at important places when he was planning for their escape. (more…)
