Good enough.
It's about Mike Enslin, an unconvinced writer who writes about haunted places. The movie revolves around his paranormal experience inside the inhuman hotel room 1408.
There's also the reference to the number 13 thing because 13 is supposed to be unlucky and 1408 is 1+4+0+8=13. Adding the numbers is similar to the idea in the movie The Number 23, which means that it doesn't make any sense. Why do you have to add the numbers anyway? I think that it is over thinking.
I don't see any point in it but watching it was entertaining because we were trying to frighten Barqs.

Shakugan no Shana Movie
Good enough.
It's a sort of remake of the first few episodes of the first season of the anime. So there is nothing major to see. The differences lie in the flow of the story and are only noticeable in the final half of the movie.
Some of the minor details in the movie include:
This movie, like other anime series based movies, is jargon to all non-Shana watchers.

Some of the minor details in the movie include:
- Wilhelmina is always on T.V. and is traveling.
- Yuji's father is in Gobi Desert according to his mother.
- Yoshida's love interest for Yuji is revealed as early as before the real Yukari passed away.
- Friagne the Hunter used more dolls.
This movie, like other anime series based movies, is jargon to all non-Shana watchers.
Fracture
Good.
It's about a smart and filthy-rich guy Ted Crawford who carefully killed his cheating wife.
The smart guy is played by Anthony Hopkins who is ever so effective with roles of this sort (remember the Hannibal series).
An idea presented in this movie is the ability of some people to outwit the law, which is not surprising. After all, the law is only good when it is convenient.
The movie is open-ended, which brought an oblivious feeling regarding the law and everything it represents.

Week Ender
- Napaka-busy ng mga tao.
- Gusto kong magpamasahe.
- I started watching Shakugan no Shana Second. I'm thinking about how the author is going to dispose of the cute antagonist. It's weird.
- Ang daming tao sa mall kapag sale kahit na grabe yung nangyaring explosion sa Glorietta.
- Mayroong Hollywood remake ang My Sassy Girl at si Elisha Cuthbert ang bida. Dapat maganda ampupu.
- Iniisip ko pa rin kung kailangan ko ba ng PC upgrade or PS3, papalapit na kasi ang Devil May Cry 4, Starcraft 2 at Unreal Tournament 3.
Surf's Up
Bad.
It's about a penguin named Cody Maverick who loves to surf. That's interesting right?
Penguins did not evolve to be penguins to surf. I don't understand. Picking penguins as surfing animals is just weird. Chickens even.
The CG water is awesome. Many people say that it still is not good enough, but I'm happy already with the quality presented in this movie.
I don't remember anything else worth noting about this movie.
Don't watch it.

Captivity
Good.
It's a suspense-thriller movie about the abduction of a very popular model (within the context of the movie) Jennifer Tree played by Elisha Cuthbert. It's like stalker to the next level. Creepy.
I like this movie because it is smartly laid out and it makes sense. That is because other thrillers seem to be made only to give the watchers a shock. The thing is, the antagonists in this movie aren't totally nuts. They create a plan and execute their plan to perfection because they want to have control, to get laid and to watch a porn video starring themselves. And that, that is just so rational.
A funny idea from the movie is that even people who sleep in other people's cars can be abducted. Equality in abduction. Yeah boy. Unfortunately, in the movie, the guy who sleeps in other people's cars who got abducted was role playing. Damn.

Bubble Gang The Movie
Gumawa ang Bubble Gang peeps ng pelikula upang gunitain ang kanilang ika-labindalawang taon sa telebisyon. Pinamagatan nila itong DO-SE-NA at isa itong action musical na funny.
Pinagbidahan ito ni Michael V (Buddy) at ni Ogie Alcasid (Dick) bilang mga detective. Ang astig pa, kahit action yung isang tema ng pelikula, bakla yung bidang si Buddy. Kasama rin nila ang iba pang cast ng palabas.
Napaka-erotic ng ibang eksena at kanta. Nakakatawang panoorin at pakinggan. Marami ring tagpong may pole dancing. Swabe.
Nakakatawa yung isang eksenang bigla nalang nag-break dance yung dalawang bida dahil kitang-kitang double yung sumayaw. Isa pang nakakatuwang bagay sa pelikula ay ang mga klasikong linyang naipasok nila kagaya ng "Isang bala ka lang" at "Ako ang Panday" ng mga lumang pelikulang Pinoy.
Kahit hindi magaling umarte yung ibang artista at medyo kakaiba ang takbo ng kwento ng pelikula, masaya pa rin dahil nakakaaliw naman ito.
Astig si Michael V sa larangan niya. Creative Director na pala siya. Sa tingin ko, siya ang nagdadala sa Bubble Gang. Hindi nakapagtatakang labindalawang taon na ang naturang palatuntunan. Naalala ko tuloy ang Tropang Trumpo days.

Knocked Up
Good enough.
It's a fun and stupid movie about two completely different persons who reproduced without intending to do so because of each one's respective circumstance and, most notably, alcohol. It stars Seth Rogen as Ben, the happy-go-lucky, pot-addicted, broke guy, and Katherine Heigl as Alison, the successful, career-oriented, girl.
This movie contains a lot of advertising of products and services online or not. Other things the movie presented that I usually look out for are sex (lots), drugs (tons), and violence.
The movie is very funny but it contains ideas that are too extreme to be viable in reality. Funny and stupid.

Meet The Robinsons
Good Enough.
It's another time travel movie but it is animated. Jade told me that it's good.
This week is like animation week for me.
The movie is about a very smart, orphaned kid who was able to invent a memory recall device which he invented to know why he was left at the orphanage. After a science fair scene where he presented his invention, many other science fiction stuff like time travel and time-space continuum stuff were presented. What's nice is that these complex ideas were presented with flair and colors rather than with formulas and equations. So all in all, I think most kids who watch this will like the presentation of the ideas but won't have any idea about the science behind them.
It is based on a book, I forgot the title though.
Anyways, the plot was very easy to see through. Maybe because it's for kids and a simple plot is very apt. The thing is that it's annoying to watch a movie when you have seen through it after around 12 minutes of watching. Remind me not to watch movies made for kids anymore.
I remember another time travel movie which is very much similar to this movie. It's called The Time Machine! The difference between the two movies is violence and the "moral lesson". In this movie it's "keep moving forward", which sounds like a vehicle company's slogan. The Time Machine's "moral lesson" is something like you can't change the past, what you have to do is accept the past and live in the present.
The idea of building a time machine is absurd. I wonder why people even think of building ones. Yes, it is a great leap for man kind if one is created. And yes, there will be many benefits. But building one will ruin the very essence of life. I know that many people want to undo the mistakes that they have done but, really, isn't life about making mistakes and learning from them? (ha ha ha) If you are in power, for example the president of a country, and you know that doing corrupt things is a huge mistake, you still do them. But you do them because you want to learn, right? Maybe. That's life. (That statement didn't make any sense, where did it come from?)
Overall, I think Meet The Robinsons is a nice movie for kids. :D

Shrek The Third
Good.
The third movie in the Shrek series. Its flow is funny, its story is one of a kind and its animation is nice. The movie is great.
Another interesting idea is that fairy tales are often one-sided in that most of the detail is given to the to-be-happy protagonist. The only thing that needs to be known about the evil antagonists is that they are evil, nothing more than that. As Charming said in his pursuit of his happily ever after, "Once upon a time, someone decided that we we're the losers. There are two sides to every story, and our side has not been told."
Unfortunately, they always end Charming's conflict with Shrek with the Win-Lose approach.

- King Arthur, Lancelot and Merlin were included to the characters. I guess they weren't able to find anyone else fit for the role of king. In addition, they did not debunk the idea of becoming royalty by consanguinity alone. I thought they were going there.
- The ogre babies and the donkey-dragon babies are very cute.
- There is one product advertisement.
- The touch of feminism, which has been common with all the other Shrek movies, is still present.
- Eddie Murphy sings again.
- The scene where Pinocchio was trying his best to tell the truth by using double negations and other logical statements so that he doesn't give information to the antagonists is one of the funniest scenes in the movie.
- Another funny scene is the Ginger Bread Man's flashback of his life when he thought that he was going to get killed.

Barrera v.s. Pacquiao II
Siyempre nanood ako ng Barrera v.s. Pacquiao. Ganito yung napanood ko sa local channel:
- Pagtatapos ng naunang laban.
- 5 minutes of commercials.
- Introduction of the match.
- 5 minutes of commercials.
- Singing of the Mexican national anthem.
- 5 minutes of commercials.
- Singing of the Filipino national anthem.
- 5 minutes of commercials.
- Singing of the American national anthem.
- 5 minutes of commercials.
- 12 times
- Round bout.
- 5 minutes of commercials.
- +85 minutes of commercials. Only +36 minutes of boxing. $$$
- Kapag ang laban ni Manny local channel ang magpapalabas, maraming kasabay na mga patalastas para sa mga pangangailangan sa pagpapalaki ng baboy.
- Ang galing ng mag-timing at mag-fake ni Manny. Madali itong makita kapag nanggigigil na ang kalaban.
- Grabe naman ang Barrera at nang-cheap shot pa. Naalala ko tuloy si Larios.
- Mas maganda yata mag-pay-per-view nalang para hindi nakakabitin at hindi sayang sa oras.
- May effect talaga ang mga laban ni Pacman sa maraming Pinoy. Pangpawala ng traffic at pangpataas ng morale.

Global Volunteer
We went to an Anawim center in Montalban, Rizal to serve as "global volunteers".
...
Pagkatapos mag-volunteer, bumili kami ni Emman ng poker chips. Kaya kapag maglalaro ng poker, mas happy.
