Movie: Spirited Away

Another one of those Studio Ghibli animated films, which has the man versus nature theme.

I thought that it is for kids but when I was watching it, I found that the story is pretty hard to swallow, and most of the characters are creepy. The only part that made me think that it can be for kids is the ending. That is, because it is a happy one. Not a drop of sadness is present. Everything ends perfectly.

Anyhow, it is an entertaining piece. I like it.

The Da Vinci Code

Whatever. These are some of my thoughts when I was reading the book.

Brown's use of words. Fag, "what the devil", "like a kick in the gut", for me, means that Brown is trying to be modern and not Shakespeare like in his way of writing.

The pentacle is a symbol of Venus. It relates to beauty and perfection. The planet Venus creates a pentacle every 4 years.
The meaning of the pentacle is related by many movies to devil worship, but the basis is not solid. The church was behind the change in meaning of the symbol. It was a propaganda to make the old Pagan religion unlikable.

The sexism of the Opus Dei

The issue between countries. U.S.A. v.s. France.

The use of french.

"What was the rationale for fusing science and faith? Unbiased science could
not possibly be performed by a man who possessed faith in God. Nor did faith have any need for
physical confirmation of its beliefs." - Aringarosa

The word "Sophie" is mentioned a total of 1128 times.
The word "Langdon" is mentioned a total of 1579 times.
Unfortunately for my interests, 1579/1128 is 1.39982269504..
The words "Aringarosa" and "Collet" are both mentioned a total of 181 times. Cool.
I just remembered, I'm no cryptographer. XD

Different people are different

Its pretty funny and ironic that in my Humanities class my teacher says that dates for certain events are important while in the PI 100 class that I sat in, the teacher says that dates aren't that important as long as you know what happened. Talk about difference in opinion.

Pacquiao v.s. Morales 3

Nanood kami ng laban ni Pacquiao kahapon, katabi ng mga manong guards sa iskwelahan. Nakakatuwa kasi isa sa mga tropa nila itinaya yung pang matrikula niya kay Morales. Eh talo, hehe.

Nung kumakanta pa lang ng pambansang awit ng mga bansa, maliit lang yung telebisyon. Nagulat kami nung bigla na lang silang may hinihilang mas malaki. Ayun mas nag-enjoy tuloy kami sa tatlong round ng umaatikabong labanan.

Ang kupal din ni Morales eh no, nang-cheap shot pa nung magkadikit sila ni Pacman.

Inaasahan ko na talaga na mananalo si Manny eh, ang hindi ko inasahan eh yung napakabilis na pagkatalo ni Morales. Sa tingin ko mas magaling at mas makunat pa si Larios.

Movie: Click

The movie is just too good. We rewatched it and it easily touched my "heart", again.

What the

I just got home from a gimik with some of my high school friends. We drank all we can at some bar in Makati. After all the heavy beer, crablets, pizzas, and juices, some went home, and some of us spent the night at a friend's house. Pretty fun actually.

Movie: The Skeleton Key

I just watched and enjoyed it. It portrays how nurses should be, caring about the patients, not about the business. Unfortunately, especially here in the Philippines, many youth get into nursing for the money. Can't blame them though. XD
Anyhow, another thing I like about it is that in the start it appears to be a ghost movie. But halfway through it, it will seem to be a voodoo and belief movie. But then, at the end, it is a combination of the two. Everything in the beginning and in the middle were build ups, no ghosts, only clues, for the ending.

The story is good. A nurse who takes care of her patient but gets in the middle of something else.
Something she does not believe initially, but eventually... When she started believing, they got her.
The characters are good. The main character's background, not being able to take care of his dying dad, is enough to justify her longing to take real care of her patients. Unfortunately for her, she gets into trouble for doing her job well. I feel sorry for her. Lolz.
The ending is pretty much one of the best I've seen. All my questions are answered and cleared. After seing the ending, I actually got stunned because all the answers came in fast and my pentium-poor brain had a hard time processing the information.

Movie: Event Horizon

I just finished watching it right now. Remember watching it long ago. At that time, I wonder why I never thought what I think now.

The movie is just plain gore, and horror. In every scene, the concept of the inevitable shocker is presented. The style is typical for horror movies.
The story sucks.
The characters are said to be "professionals" but they don't behave like ones.
The sounds are shocking (Name a horror movie without shocking sounds).
The effects are pretty much okay.
The ending is horrible.

The idea that the shortest distance between two points is zero is pretty interesting though. But if their distance is zero, that could only mean that they are actually just a single point. That is since no two things can occupy the same space at the same time. I don't know. XD

Anyhow, if you want some time-wasting, sci-fi, gore, and horror movie, this one is the way to go.
