AT THE MOMENT, our television has no cable connection because we were being delinquent in paying the bills. we have no decent internet connection either. we could have actually, if you consider smartbro a smart way to have one. and to save myself from dying due to chronic boredom, i’d do dvd marathon or if i’m a little desperate, i’d read the whole twilight saga on my computer. so, imagine my delight when i finally got my new video city card!
i consider myself a cinephile. i may not have watched a lot of movies compared to other people but i love watching movies, but not to the level of being a movie geek. i am a little choosy of the movies i want to see but i am easy to please. just don’t give me those that involve flying saucers and green-skinned monsters from other planets.
i usually rent the movies i watch because i want them to be as clear as possible on when i watch them on television. i don’t buy pirated movies either, unless they’re clear dvd copies. haha! harry potter movies are exempted. i’d buy them original or not. i remember leaving the movie house after watching harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban and grabbed the first pirated copy i laid my eyes on and watched it again in the cinemas the next day. haha!
i'm done with this following batch. can't wait to rent more! hehe!
SASSY GIRL (ENGLISH VERSION). len-len lent me a copy of the korean version three years ago. being made to remember this romantic story makes it a nostalgic entertainment. you may think i am naïve (i think i am) but it gets me every time i watch it.
WANTED. this is the best action movie since the italian job. i love the car chase with the viper. bloody cool! and how about angelina jolie? is she hot or what? i just love her. i loved the concept of the weavers and the “loom of fate”.
DARK KNIGHT. for the first time, i found myself rooting for the villain. heath (bless his soul) gave justice to joker’s role. i am not a fan of batman but i’ll stick to him with this one compared to that guy who got bitten by a radioactive spider and the red-caped hero.
KUNG-FU PANDA. this is one of the funniest animated movies ever! i love pandas and po is so cute. the fight scenes were so awesome. i almost got blind because of pure awesomeness! haha!
IMAGINE ME AND YOU. it’s about a woman who got married but eventually fell in love with another woman. so i guess it’s safe to assume they’re lesbians, right? it stars the girl from cayote ugly. i was a little uncomfortable watching her kissing that woman from 300.
THE INVISIBLE. very predictable plot but i got intrigued because of the concept of being invisible. i sometimes wish i could be, at my own will though; not to die and be an invisible ghost in limbo. i love the guy’s character and his poetry. the ending was crappy though.
CLOVERFIELD. i knew it. aliens. hays. one word for this one—headache.
SWEENEY TODD. Very artistically done! I applaud the art direction. However, it was a little disturbing. How's dead people for meat pies? Yummy! Ingeniously twisted eh? I guess it’s how Tim Burton wanted it to be.
i love watching movies at home especially with a cold weather like this; with a mug of coffee and high-carb food i could munch—just perfect. ;)

nalala ko tuloy years back---me habit din ako na ganyan na kapag movie marathon---movie marathon talaga----and i will never forget SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION--nadiscover ko sya sa kaka-movie marathon ko and it is by far the best movie for me~~~
tamang tama ngayon dahil malamig ang panahon. great list of movies to watch. ako sobrang busy mgayon, hindi na makapanood ng movie.
halo mister lucas! sarap movie marathon neh? :D ill give you some movies too na maganda rin for me...
one is: windstruck -- supposed sequel nya ang sassy girl... korean version ha. and another: benjamin button -- wala akong masabi.. ang ganda...
kakatuwa naman mahilig ka magbasa ng books! wehehehe.. :D
mahilig din ako sa movies, pero ung SWEENEY TODD, parang musical? ndi ko na pinanood. hehe.
Natry ko na mag-marathon, pero series, PRISON BREAK. Tinapos ko buong isang season the whole day, katabi ko isang family size na pizza, mga tsitsirya at sopdrinks. walang tulugan, ni hindi ako tumayo except pag cr break. LOL.
hehehe...
same goes to me!
sometimes I watched movies too, but not as addicted as others..
I love some of the movies that u watch there!
You wouldn't believe how I enjoyed watching Cloverfield all because of the perspective the director used to render the story.
Sweeney Todd is wonderful! All hail to Burton.
cloverfield made me puke, nahilo ako seryoso haha it was such a big screen i thought like ive never seen theater screen ewan ang gulo di ko ma explain... haha
Actually, the weavers and loom concept stunk in Wanted. But you'll only understand why it stunk if you've read the comics -where the Wesley and the Fraternity are even more hardcore.
The movie's not bad though. It's just a diluted version of the comics. Plus, I just don't like why they need to completely change the whole concept and replace it with the loom and weaver thing.
Aahhh. We don't have cable at home at the mo too. Illegal connection kase kami. unfortunately eh nahuli ulet kami. HAHAH
And I agree, Kung Fu Panda is really funnnyyyy!!! =)) Yung Sweeney Todd lang hindi ko pa napapanood sa mga nabanggit mong movies. :) Try ko nga panoorin one of these days. :)

zara: try to watch some if you have time...it's really entertaining :)
mugen: hays...i think it's because of the prejudice i have developed towards aliens...

denis: nakakasakit talaga ng ulo! waaa! and the protaginists died in the end. what more could i ask for?! hahaha!

eli: gibson films? yung mga dinirect niya or yung kung saan xa gumanap? astig ang apocalypto noh?
Da best nga ung season 1. Naghahanap ako ng Season 4, meron na pala?
ron,
sa akin pareho, astig siyang magdirect at sobrang astig ding ang pagganap nya. gusto ko yong movies niyang brave heart, patriot at ibapa!
apocalypto, ilang beses kong napanuod yan, sa bahay at sa bus. one time lumuwas ako ng manila at yan ang palabas sa bus. and alam mo pag-uwi ko, apocalypto uli! pero kahit ganun, enjoy parin ako. ang galeng kase ng movie

here are some movie recommendations that i'm sure YOU will love:
stranger than fiction, bullets over broadway, small time crooks... just try them out!
ugh! i hate smartbro too, i long kissed goodbye to it

----------
hmmm my comment section is ok naman
i love sweeney todd.
masayang libangan ang panonood ng pelikula. kay sarap tumakas. ;)
I made a review of that Cloverfield thingy... and haaayssss.... second the motion.
also I still have to watch that sweeny todd film. I bought the dvd last year.. and haaayssss again.
I'm actually using smartbro unlimited 999 on my laptop and i am broadcasting the signal on a wireless router so I can go unwired.. don't get the smartbro with that usb dongle thingy, it's only fast if there is HSDPA signal in your area...
I love watching movies too..right now I am keeping up with watching all the US series like lost, prison break and heroes...I am just downloading all of them on torrent using my smartbro connnection, so yeah it's actually pretty fast..
mabuti ka pa kahit walang internet, nakakapag-update ng blog every now and then, eh ako always connected pero hindi makapag-update..hehehe tsk tsk tsk im getting lazy na talaga...kasi busy this week kasi Sinulog dito sa Cebu..hehehe
Anyway, your hair really fits you.. i don't know if semikal will be ok for me too..hahah
cheers!

kalansay: i couldn't agree more. eto madalas ang ginagawa ko kapag depressed. hehe!
KJ: hahaha! you're an alien right? you should worship that film! hahaha!

abou: yeah! it's so awesome!
eli: hahaha! so ex-addict ka! hahaha!
huhuhu... mukhang di muna ako manonood ng movie sa sinehan for a while..
hey may street fighter the movie at si chun li lang ang bida.. and guess what it would be played by kristen kreuk (sana tama mga spelling ko)
nako magastos manood ng sine. hehe! meron bang sinehan sa palau? hhahaha!
yeah! excited na nga ako eh. hihi! it's kristin, actually :) thanks for the drop :)
malamang wala na kasi 1994 pa yun.. i discover it in a DVD, pirated, (ssshhh!)movie collections ni Morgan Freeman.. sana nga makakita ka.
haha.. o2 ex-addict na ako. pero may bago nanamang kinalululungan! lol
my two cents worth: i like the original sassy girl (korean version). what made it cool was,the girl's name was never mentioned.
can't get enuf of the song.i dunno.it's kinda relaxing and creepy at the same time.siguro naiisip ko lang kasi yung coffin rock.haha.
btw,add kita sa blogroll ko ha.astig kasi page mo.salamat. :p
falmindevil: yeah...unlike in the english version sinabi.hehe!
very haunting. nakakalma nga xa pero creepy? hehe! creepy nga yung coffin rock gawa nung blair witch project. do you still remember the myth behind the coffin rock?
