4. Paranormal Activity - Micah, a day-trader, and Katie, a college student are a young couple "engaged to be engaged". Katie claims that a ghostly entity has haunted her since her youth and believes the ghost has followed her to their two-story tract house in suburban San Diego, California. Micah buys a video camera in the hopes of capturing paranormal activity on film, a project that will ultimately last three weeks. During a visit to their house, Dr. Fredrichs, a self-professed psychic, assesses that they are being plagued by a demon which feeds off "negative energy" and is intent on haunting Katie no matter where she goes. Dr. Fredrichs also recommends the two contact Dr. Abrams, a demonologist, and Micah's reluctance to do so leads to frequent arguments between the couple. Each night, Micah leaves the video camera on a tripod in their bedroom to record whatever might be occurring while he and Katie sleep. He manages to document several phenomena such as objects moving on their own, lights and televisions switching on and off, and sounds ranging from voices and growls to footsteps and loud thuds. The strange occurrences in the middle of the night soon involve Katie awakening to spend several hours standing by the bed and staring at a sleeping Micah, and going outside to sit on the backyard swing. She ultimately does not remember her behavior the following morning.

5. Amelia - On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart (Hilary Swank) along with her navigator, Fred Noonan (Christopher Eccleston) is on the last leg of an around-the-world flight. Moving in vignettes from her early years when Earhart was captivated by the sight of an aircraft flying overhead on the Kansas prairie where she grew up, her life over the preceding decade is gradually unfolded. As a young woman, she is recruited by publishing tycoon and eventual husband George Putnam (Richard Gere) to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean, albeit as a passenger. Taking command of the flight results in a success and being thrust into the limelight as the most famous woman pilot of her time. Putnam helps Earhart write a book chronicling the flight, much like his earlier triumph with Charles Lindbergh's We, gradually falling in love with his charge, and they eventually marry although she enacts a "cruel" pledge as her wedding contract.

2012: We Were Warned for Awesomeness!
2012 is a very great film! When we went to the cinema earlier, we didn't get into the cinema that early. We need to pass a very long line. After the line, you must watch only 1 screening but it's worth it. My 130 pesos didn't waste!
n 2009, a huge solar flare erupts on the sun. One of the protagonists, Adrian Helmsley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an American scientist, travels to a copper mine in India to meet his friend, Satnam (Jimi Mistry). His friend has discovered that Earth's core temperature is increasing rapidly. Adrian returns to Washington D.C. and submits a report to the Chief of Staff, Carl Anheuser (Oliver Platt), who immediately takes him to see Thomas Wilson (Danny Glover), the 45th President of the United States. In 2010, Wilson tells other heads of state and heads of government the situation at that year's G8 summit and billionaires all over the world buy plane tickets for a billion euros. In 2011 the original version of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris is replaced with a decoy, and is sealed away to keep it safe from the impending disaster.
The story jumps ahead to 2012, to Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), a divorced father who works as a limousine driver and writer, and his ex-wife, Kate (Amanda Peet), and children, Noah (Liam James) and Lily (Morgan Lily), who live with Kate's new boyfriend, Gordon (Thomas McCarthy). Jackson takes his children on a camping trip to Yellowstone, where he meets Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), who hosts a radio segment that addresses the Mayans' prediction.
Enormous cracks soon develop along the San Andreas Fault, California, and disruptive shaking occurs in the San Francisco Bay area. Despite government assurances that all is fine, Jackson grows suspicious.
After hiring a private plane, he drives to Kate's home to save his family and Gordon from the impending earthquakes of the Earth's crust displacement. Jackson quickly collects his family, and Gordon pilots a plane out of the city. Los Angeles then collapses into the Pacific Ocean.
When the plane runs low on fuel, they are forced to land in Wyoming. Jackson uses the moment to contact Charlie, regarding a map to ships being built in order to save humanity. They return to Yellowstone to find Charlie, only to discover that he has gone to the mountains to watch the approaching catastrophe.
After getting hold of the map they discover that the ships they are searching for are in China. Jackson and his family leave just in time as Yellowstone Caldera erupts, killing Charlie. Meanwhile, an earthquake destroys the Vatican, killing the Pope and the Italian Prime Minister.
In order to get to China they board an Antonov An-225 at McCarran International Airport, with Russian billionaire Yuri Karpov (Zlatko Buric) and girlfriend Tamara (Beatrice Rosen), as Las Vegas is destroyed by earthquakes and ravaged by a volcanic ash cloud from Yellowstone.
While in the air, the group learns that the plane does not have enough fuel to reach China: they've passed Honolulu, Hawaii, which has been inundated in lava. As they're about to ditch the plane they discover that they are no longer above the ocean: the Earth's crust has shifted thousands of miles and they are heading towards the Himalayas. During a crash landing on a glacier they manage to escape from the plane safely by using one of the luxury vehicles in cargo as a raft, only to be abandoned by Yuri. The pilot of the plane, Sasha (Johann Urb), dies when the plane falls off a cliff.
Meanwhile, the President dies when he stays back in America and the White House is crushed by the USS John Kennedy as well as tsunamis. The Chief of Staff escapes America with Helmsley and the First Daughter Laura Wilson (Thandie Newton) in Air Force One, and he becomes Commander-in-chief of America. Air Force One heads to China. Satnam dies when the tsunamis hit India. The Dalai Lama also dies when the tsunamis hit Tibet.
The group eventually find their way to the ships with the help of some locals and are smuggled aboard with the help of a Buddhist monk, Nima (Osric Chau) his brother, Tenzin (Chin Han) and their grandparents. Tsunamis begin to engulf the Indian peninsula, and a giant wave eventually reaches the ships, which turn out to be arks constructed to save the heads of state, hand-picked individuals chosen to repopulate the earth and the rich elite, who could afford to buy tickets (which was earlier mentioned that tickets were €1 000 000 000).
Adrian convinces the leaders of the G8 to let on more people into the ark by quoting Jackson's book, but as the gates open again, Gordon fell between two gears and was crushed, while Tenzin was injured. Meanwhile Yuri and his two sons are trapped beneath the gate and as it closes again, Yuri manages to lift one of his sons onto the gate but as the gate closed further, he had to throw his second son up, causing him to fall to his death.
As a tsunami sweeps in it picks up the parked Air Force One causing the heavy plane to crash into the ark, breaking the ark from its anchor. Tamara drowns within the ark. The gates are jammed and the ark ends up on a crash course for Mount Everest. Jackson fixes the problem with the help of his son and the ark crashes but slows down enough that the damage is minor. When the flood eventually recedes, the captains of the arks decide upon the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa as a suitable place to reestablish humanity. Jackson reconciles with his family, and Helmsley and Laura start a relationship. The movie ends with a view of the world showing the dramatically changed African continent.
There are many emotions rounding up in the film like suspense, thrill, laughter, drama and excitement. I highly recommend this film to you guys. Watch it before it expires :))
This will be my film of the year next to TRANSFORMERS 2

You're Such A Winner!
Yaya and Angelina: The Spoiled Brat Movie is a funny film of Yaya and Angelina which is from a sitcom on Bubble Gang. Their tandem (Michael V. and Ogie Alcasid) are very funny and very hilarious.
Angelina is a 7 year old girl who is spoiled and a bully. Her first yaya (or nanny) was hospitalized because of the girl's disobedience. Her parents decided to find her another yaya which would fit for her attitude.
After a lot of applicants decide to quit the job, a woman named Rosalinda Lucero tries to applies for the job, and gets it. (It is also during that scene that she reveals she is also called "Cha Cha", as in Cha Cha Lucero, probably the seed of the line "Whatever, yaya, you're such a loser!") She thought that being Angelina's yaya would be an easy job, but after some time, and some tragedies occur becasue of Angelina, Angelina's mom decides to discharge her if she would cause any more problems. Yaya was frustrated about the things Angelina's mom told her. Angelina tried to make her yaya happy, by showing some magic using a Jackstone ball, but the trick failed.
The ball went to the pool where Angelina's fish resides. The fish ate the ball, and because yaya is afraid that if the fish dies, she'll be discharged by Angelina's Mom, she tries to save the fish using a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The fish got alive, but the jackstone ball hit the lampshade causing it to hit the fish and die. Angelina's Mom and Dad saw the fish on the ground with no life. Yaya was discharged. Angelina lived without a yaya. And because no one will protect her, Angelina was accidentally kidnapped by some terrorists. Angelina called her mom and dad but they are both busy, so she called her yaya. Angelina describes the place (as a loser; we find out that what she saw at the window is Manolo Service Center), Yaya found the place near the church. Meanwhile, her mom and dad thought that Yaya kidnapped Angelina as revenge of firing her.
Yaya saved Angelina, but her dad and mom were also kidnapped. The only way to save them is that Angelina should give the flower with a bomb inside to the Duchess of Wellington, which they want to kill while she makes her speech. Yaya found a way to stop the terrorist from killing the woman, she changed the flowers and she went to Eve (terrorist's boss) and fought her.
Yaya defeated Eve and the terrorist was caught by the police. Angelina's mom and dad were saved because of Yaya. They decided to make Yaya as Angelina's permanent yaya. And they all climbed up on stage with a LOSER on Yaya's back and wings on Angelina's.
Overall, I highly recommend this film. It's so good and not a LOSER

In One's Life
In My Life is a good film about a mother and his gay son. I like the movie because it is comedy and somewhat drama. Vilma Santos is good and John Lloyd improves in his acting while Louis does good also.
Shirley (Vilma Santos) is a woman whos wants to in control of everything. Working as a librarian in a public school, a firm "Sshhh!" from her makes the students tremble in fear. But in her family, her unwarranted intervention in the lives of her children and their families keeps her emotionally detached from them. Realizing that she has lost the command she once had, she goes to New York to reunite with Mark (Luis Manzano), her estranged gay son who is now suffering from colon cancer.
But Shirley doesn.t know this and living with Mark in Ney York comes with a cost. She has to live with her son's lover Noel(John Lloyd Cruz) who is an illegal immigrant. Whenever Mark is not around, Noel makes it a point to tour her around as he tries his best to endure Shirley's degrading behavior on him.
Everything is going right until circumstances forces Shirley to go back to the Philippines. Now that she's back with her family, she realizes that something is wrong - she is not happy.
For once in her life, she finally comes to a brave decision that will bring her real happiness.
I recommend this film overall.

Man 'tis Good!!!
When I watched it last August, THE HANGOVER really is funny! The comedy is so awesome like Old School. The actors really knows how to make fun.
Doug (Justin Bartha) is about to be married to Tracy (Sasha Barrese), and his friends — Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and soon-to-be brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis) — take him to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Tracy's father lends them his car, a vintage Mercedes convertible for the trip. The four get a villa at Caesars Palace hotel and casino, then sneak onto the roof and toast to the night ahead. The next morning, the three groomsmen wake up in the suite with no memory of the previous night, and realize that Doug is missing. Clues abound: the suite is in severe disorder, a tiger is in the bathroom, a baby is in the closet, Stu is missing a tooth, one of the suite's mattresses is impaled on a statue outside, Phil is wearing a hospital bracelet, Stu has an $800 ATM receipt, and a valet brings them a stolen police cruiser they dropped off the night before.
While retracing their steps, a doctor at the hospital informs them that they had traces of roofies in their blood, explaining their memory loss, and that they came from a wedding. They find the chapel, and learn that Stu, despite planning to propose to his controlling girlfriend Melissa, married a stripper named Jade (Heather Graham), the mother of the baby in the closet. The men visit her apartment and return the baby, but are taken by surprise and arrested for stealing the police cruiser. Phil negotiates their release in exchange for the three groomsmen "volunteering" as targets for a taser demonstration. They then retrieve the Mercedes from an impound lot and discover a naked Asian man in the trunk. The man attacks them and runs away, and Alan admits to spiking their drinks the night before with what he thought was ecstasy, but realizes the drug dealer must have sold him roofies instead. They return to the hotel and find former boxing champion Mike Tyson in their room, who was looking for his stolen tiger. Tyson knocks out Alan and orders them to return the pet to his mansion. They drug the tiger with roofies and transport it in the Mercedes, but before they reach Tyson's mansion, it wakes up and destroys the car's interior. Tyson plays security footage of the groomsmen's activities from the night before in an effort to help them locate Doug.
Resuming their search, the three are confronted by the thugs, who, as it turns out, are led by the naked man they found in the trunk of their car, Leslie Chow. According to Chow, the groomsmen have $80,000 of his money, which they accidentally took the night before. Chow demands it back in exchange for Doug, whom he has kidnapped. Unable to find the money, Alan uses his knowledge of card counting to win it playing blackjack. The money is repaid, but Chow had kidnapped a different Doug, who turns out to be the drug dealer who sold Alan the roofies. After a conversation with the Doug the drug dealer, Stu remembers that hotel windows do not open in Las Vegas, and deduces that the mattress on the statue must have been thrown from the roof, and therefore they must have locked a sleeping Doug on the roof as a prank. Rushing back to the hotel, they find him with less than four hours before the wedding. Stu and Jade agree that they cannot remain married, but promise to meet the following weekend to see what develops between them. Jade also reveals that Stu had pulled out his own tooth on a dare from Alan. As they rush home and make it to the wedding, Doug discovers he has Chow's $80,000 worth of casino chips in his pockets. Doug marries Tracy, and Stu breaks up with Melissa. As the reception ends, Alan reveals a digital camera he discovered in the back seat of the Mercedes chronicling the events they were unable to remember, and the four agree to look at the pictures only one time before destroying the evidence.

Theta Pi Must Rise!!!
Sororiy Row is a good film for me despite of other critics negative reviews. The scare tactics are very effective for me and Briana is so hot! I like the visuals but I want realistic killings and bloodier!!!
Run by Mrs. Crenshaw, the college sorority Theta Pi is home to seniors and best friends Jessica, Cassidy, Ellie, Claire, Chugs and Megan who, despite Mrs. Crenshaw's best efforts, constantly throw wild parties. During one of these parties Megan discovers her boyfriend Garrett is cheating on her and with her friends' help, decides to pull a prank on him as payback, faking her own death while making out with Garrett. With help from the sisters, Garrett brings Megan to a steel mill, intent on dropping her body down a mineshaft. After the sisters (jokingly) mention they need to release the air out of her lungs so her body won't rise to the top, Garrett stabs Megan with a tire iron, actually killing her. Panicking, the group dumps Megan's body in the mineshaft, vowing never to speak of the events that transpired ever again.
Eight months later, during the party after graduation, the girls receive a picture sent to their phones: a hooded figure holding the bloody tire iron Garrett used to kill Megan. As the girls become worried, Jessica takes lead and insists it is merely a prank by Garrett and they continue with the party. Megan's sister, Maggie, also arrives, wanting to honor her sister's memory by attending the party. Chugs leaves the party to go to her therapist appointment. She find's her therapist in his bed saying the last patient left abruptly, and if they could finish where they left off. Chugs goes to 'freshen up' in the bathroom. While she is there, her therapist has a tire iron thrown at his head, impaling him. She then goes looking for him, not noticing the pool of blood coming from under the bed. She then becomes tired of looking, and lies down on a sofa. As she tilts her head back to let the champagne flow down her throat, the killer appears and shoves the bottle down her throat before slitting it with the tire iron, which makes her spit up blood into the bottle.
Later, A sorority girl named Joanna, is killed getting the tire iron shoved up her chin after hearing about Megan's death. In the basement, Ellie finds Cassidy's blood-stained jacket (which the group had wrapped Megan's body in before dropping her into the shaft) while Claire's boyfriend Mickey is also killed getting the tire iron through his head. The girls regroup and all receive a text message containing a clip of Megan's death and a message telling them to go to the mineshaft. Driving to the shaft, the girls find Garrett. Thinking the obviously delusional Garrett is the one stalking them, Jessica runs him over when he tries to attack Cassidy with a mirror shard, discovering afterward Garrett has been receiving the same messages they have, proving he is not the killer. After the girls return to the now empty sorority house, they receive a text message from Chug's cell phone, telling them that she is dead. While struggling to get in the house, Claire is dragged into the hot tub and shot in the mouth with a flare gun, and Mrs. Crenshaw is impaled, leaving only Jessica, Cassidy, Ellie and Maggie.
Later, Maggie becomes trapped when the killer sets the room on fire with a Molotov cocktail. Cassidy and Jessica look around (while Ellie hides upstairs) and run into Kyle, Jessica's boyfriend, who injures Jessica after getting into a fight with her. Jessica and Cassidy then go and hide from him. They hide in the bathroom where they find Megan's corpse hanging in the shower. Kyle then finds them and tell Cassidy that Jessica told him they murdered Megan. He is then killed with an axe by Andy who turns out to be the real killer. He then kills Jessica by stabbing her in the mouth. He tells Cassidy that he just wanted to help her, killing everyone who knew about her involvement in Megan's death so they could never tell anyone else and reveal she was involved. Playing along with her crazed boyfriend, Cassidy tells Andy that Ellie is in the basement and while Andy goes to look for her Cassidy fetches Ellie from upstairs and they try to run, but are attacked by Andy.
Telling Ellie to flee, Cassidy hits Andy with a lamp and tries to escape but instead ends up trying to help Maggie out of the burning house. While trying to help Maggie, Cassidy is attacked by the recovered Andy, who leaves her dangling from a hole in the floor. Cassidy begins to struggle as Andy slowly jabs the knife into her finger. As Andy prepares to finish Cassidy off, Ellie appears and blasts him with Mrs. Crenshaw's shotgun. With Andy dead, Ellie pulls Cassidy back up and the two save Maggie before fleeing from the house.
Fifteen months later, Theta Pi is being renovated from the fire and Maggie is now a Theta sister. As the girls sing the Theta Pi song, a figure with a scarred wrist is seen (Garrett).
Overall, this movie rocks!! and I recommend this film.

Final Enjoyment
When I watched it last September at Sta Lucia, FINAL DESTINATION 4 or THE FINAL DESTINATION performs well, I dislike it a bit because the events are really predictable. I will like it best if they shown it in 3D, it really ROCKS!!! Here is the synopsis of the film:
Whilst watching a race at McKinley Speedway for a break from studying, college student Nick O'Bannon (Bobby Campo) has a premonition of a car crash which sends debris into the audience, crushing some spectators and resulting in the stadium partially collapsing, which would have killed almost everyone present in the 180 section. In a panic Nick manages to convince his girlfriend Lori Milligan (Shantel VanSanten), and friends Hunt Wynorski (Nick Zano) and Janet Cunningham (Haley Webb) to leave. The quartet are followed out by a handful of others who have become angry with Nick after he pushes past them to escape. A security guard named George Lanter (Mykelti Williamson) intervenes when everyone begins to argue outside, just as the catastrophe Nick had foreseen occurs. After a memorial service at McKinley Speedway, two of the spectators who followed Nick and his friends out of the stadium - Carter Daniels (Justin Welborn) and Samantha Lane (Krista Allen) - died violently in freak accidents: Carter is blown up with his tow truck and Samantha is killed by a flying rock propelled by a lawnmower, which goes through her eye. Before their deaths, Nick had seen omens of how they would die.
After hearing about Carter and Samantha's deaths on the news, Nick and Lori begin doing research, and learn about the disasters that occurred in the previous three films (the explosion of Flight 180, highway pile-up of Route 23, and roller coaster derailment in McKinley, Pennsylvania) and discover that the survivors (who were saved by premonitions) began dying in a series of improbable accidents shortly afterwards. While Hunt and Janet refuse to believe them, Nick and Lori manage to convince George that Death is after them and the trio begin trying to warn other survivors, though fail to save any except for Janet, who nearly drowns getting her car washed. The next survivors to die are Andy Kewzer (Andrew Fiscella), Hunt and Jonathan Grove (Jackson Walker).
George is abruptly killed just before Nick has a second premonition showing him that Lori and Janet will die while watching a film in a shopping mall cinema after an explosion in a room above the theatre. Nick rushes to reach them, while Lori begins spotting omens warning her that the danger is not over. Once Nick arrives, he and Lori attempt to convince Janet to leave, but are unsuccessful in their efforts. Janet is killed in the explosion and Lori also meets her demise by being crushed in an escalator. Nick then realizes that the event hasn't happened yet, and is able to save his friends by extinguishing the fire that would have caused the initial explosion.
Weeks later, the trio, thinking they have conquered Death's plan, celebrate surviving in a cafe. Nick notices a loose leg on a scaffold outside the cafe, and he tells a construction worker to fix it up. Once inside he drifts off into thought after seeing omens around him, and realizes that his premonitions and signs, along with all the disasters and deaths that had occurred since the speedway incident, are red herrings from Death used to manipulate them into where and when it would really come for them. Just as Nick realizes this, the scaffold falls, and in order to avoid it, a truck swerves, crashes through the cafe window, and kills the group. Thus leaving all connected to the McKinley Speedway disaster dead.
Overall, I like it/dislike it because they didn't shown it here in 3d.

District Awesome
DISTRICT 9 is one of the best films of the year!!! I really enjoyed this film so much. Set in Africa, we can say that African actors and actresses are really good like Sharlto Copley and the director and the CGI equals awesomeness!!
In 1982, a large alien spaceship stops above Johannesburg, South Africa. Reports suggest that the ship became stranded after a command module separated from the ship and dropped to Earth, nowhere to be found. After cutting their way inside, an exploratory team discovers a large group of unhealthy and leaderless arthropod-like species. These alien creatures, derogatorily referred to as "prawns", are taken from the ship and housed in a government camp inside Johannesburg called District 9, which soon turns into a slum. In the first decade of the 21st century, Multinational United (MNU), a private military contractor, is placed in charge of policing and relocating the now 1.8 million aliens to District 10, a new camp 240 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg.
Wikus van der Merwe is the MNU field operative assigned to lead the relocation, which begins with the serving of eviction notices on August 9, 2010. As this continues, some nearby aliens are shown distilling a liquid from a piece of their technology into a small canister. While raiding one of the aliens' shacks, Wikus discovers and removes the container, accidentally spraying some of the liquid onto his face. One of the aliens (named Christopher Johnson by MNU) questions the legality of the eviction served on him and demands his rights. That night Wikus falls ill and is taken to a hospital, where his left forearm is revealed to have mutated into an alien appendage, and is quickly taken into MNU custody. After discovering that Wikus can now operate alien weaponry due to his mutating DNA (the weapons being unresponsive to humans), they intend to vivisect him before he fully transforms, in an attempt to replicate his ability. In a panic, Wikus uses his new strength to overpower his captors, and escapes.
Now a fugitive, Wikus takes refuge in District 9 and returns to Christopher's shack. Noticing Wikus' arm, Christopher reveals that the canister Wikus confiscated contains a fluid that would allow him to access the mothership and leave the planet. After revealing that the lost command module is hidden under his shack, Christopher agrees to help reverse Wikus' genetic transformation if Wikus, in return, retrieves the canister. Wikus agrees and tries to buy weapons from the local Nigerian gang. Their leader, the paralyzed warlord Obesandjo, seizes Wikus, seeking to gain his ability to operate alien weapons, which he believes he will achieve by eating Wikus' mutated arm (as he believes in Muti). Wikus manages to get his hands on an alien firearm and quickly holds Obesandjo hostage for a cache of weapons.
Wikus and Christopher break into the MNU offices and retrieve the canister. They fight their way out of the building and flee to District 9. Christopher, having previously seen that MNU is performing medical experiments on his race, informs Wikus that he has decided to return to his home planet to seek help for his people before he cures Wikus, which would take three years. Frustrated, Wikus knocks Christopher unconscious and powers up the command module with the help of Christopher's son. Soon after takeoff, one of the craft's engines is shot down by MNU, and it quickly crashes nearby.
MNU forces take Wikus and Christopher prisoner, but Obesandjo's gang ambushes them. The Nigerian gang captures Wikus and prepares to sever his mutated arm for Obesandjo. From the command module, Christopher's son activates the mothership and a mechanized battle suit that kills Obesandjo and his men. Wikus then gets into the suit and rescues Christopher from the MNU mercenaries, allowing him to get to the command module. Promising Wikus that he will return to reverse his transformation, Christopher returns to the mothership. Heavily wounded and in a much more advanced state of his mutation, Wikus crawls out of the battle suit and is confronted by Venter, the sole survivor and captain of the MNU squad. Before he can kill Wikus, aliens in the camp dismember him.
Christopher activates the mothership and Johannesburg's residents celebrate its departure. A series of interviews and news broadcasts are then shown, providing various opinions on the events. The aliens are successfully moved to District 10, said to have a population of 2.5 million and growing. MNU's illegal experiments on aliens are exposed. Some people theorize about Wikus' fate, while others hypothesize that Christopher Johnson might return for the refugees, or perhaps declare war on humanity. Wikus' wife reveals that, having found a small metal flower on her doorstep, she has hope that her husband is still alive. In a scrapyard, an alien with a bandaged left arm crafts a flower out of metal.
Overall, I really recommend this film highly. Based on their acting and the aliens, it is so good.

disUPpointed
UP is a film for all ages, when I watched it last August, I feel bored in this film. Because it is designed for kids, I tried to watch it but I'm so disappointed because I didnt have fun watching on it.
Carl Fredricksen, a shy and quiet young boy, meets an energetic and outgoing bucktoothed barefooted tomboy named Ellie, discovering they share the same interest in exploration as their hero, famed explorer Charles F. Muntz. Ellie expresses her desire to move her clubhouse to Paradise Falls in South America, a promise she makes Carl keep. Carl and Ellie wed and grow old together in the old house where they first met while making a living as a toy balloon vendor and a zookeeper respectively. Unable to have children, they also try to save up for the trip to Paradise Falls but other financial obligations arise. Just as they seem to finally be able to take their trip, Ellie dies of old age, leaving Carl living alone in their home as a sour recluse with nothing to live for and missing his wife terribly. As the years pass, the city grows around Carl's house with construction as Carl refuses to move. After a tussle with a construction worker over Carl's broken mailbox, the court orders Carl to move into Shady Oaks Retirement Home. Carl comes up with a scheme to keep his promise to Ellie, and uses his old professional supplies to create a makeshift airship using tens of thousands of helium balloons which lift his house off its foundations. Russell, a Wilderness Explorer trying to earn his final merit badge for "Assisting the Elderly", has stowed away on the porch after being sent on a literal snipe hunt by Carl the day before.
After a storm throws them around for a while, they find themselves across a large ravine facing Paradise Falls. With their body weight providing ballast allowing Carl and Russell to pull the floating house, the two begin to walk around the ravine, hoping to reach the falls while there's still enough helium in the balloons to keep the house afloat. As they walk towards Paradise Falls, Russell finds a colorful tropical bird which he names Kevin, not realizing that the bird is actually female. They later run into a dog named Dug with a translating collar that lets him speak. They discover Dug's owner is Charles Muntz, who has remained in South America for several decades to find and bring back a large species of bird (which turns out to be Kevin) in order to restore his reputation after bringing back a skeleton of the bird and being called a fraud because scientists thought he faked the evidence. Carl is initially thrilled to meet his hero, but when he realizes that Muntz is after Kevin and will kill without a moment's thought in order to capture her alive, Carl takes steps to save the bird and escape from Muntz. Thanks to Kevin and Dug they escape Muntz's pack of vicious dogs, led by Alpha, but Kevin is injured during the escape.
As Carl and Russell assist the injured Kevin to her chicks, Muntz and his dogs arrive in his airship, led by a tracking device in Dug's collar, and sets Carl's house on fire, forcing Carl to choose his house over Kevin. Muntz and his dogs quickly capture the bird and fly off. Though Carl successfully gets the house on the ground overlooking Paradise Falls per Ellie's wish, he has lost Russell's favor. Carl, settling down in his house, finds Ellie's childhood scrapbook and discovers her mementos of her life with Carl after they were married, and a final note from her thanking Carl for her adventure and an encouragement for him to go on his own. Invigorated by Ellie's last wish, he goes outside to see Russell, only to find him giving chase to Muntz. Carl lightens the weight of his house by dumping furniture and his possessions, allowing him to chase after Muntz in his house with Dug by his side.
Russell enters the airship through a window, but is captured by the dogs. He is tied up and left to fall to the earth, but Carl saves him and keeps him tied up in the house. Carl and Dug board the ship, and are able to lure the guard dogs away from Kevin to free her. Carl and Muntz duel face to face and fight (Muntz with a sword, Carl with his cane), while Dug is able to wrest control of the dogs and the dirigible from Alpha. Russell frees himself but clings to a lifeline as he finds the house in a dogfight with biplane fighters. When Carl shouts for help, Russell distracts the dog pilots and regains control of the house to rescue his friends, who are now on top of the airship. In pursuit, Muntz shoots out some of the balloons, causing the house to land and slide off the airship. Carl manages to trick Muntz inside the house while saving Russell, Dug, and Kevin; Muntz falls to his doom, while Carl's house drifts off into the clouds — a loss Carl gracefully accepts as being for the best.
Carl takes Muntz's dirigible and returns Kevin to her chicks, and then returns Russell and Dug back to the city. When Russell's father snubs his son's Senior Explorer ceremony, Carl fulfills that role himself to proudly present Russell with his final badge, the grape soda badge that Ellie presented to Carl when they first met. Afterward, Carl, reinvigorated in both spirit and body from his adventure, becomes a cheerfully active community volunteer with a strong father like relationship with Russell, Dug, and the other Wilderness Explorers. Whilst Carl now resides in the late Muntz's blimp, his old house, through happenstance, has landed exactly where Ellie envisioned it — overlooking Paradise Falls.
Overall, even the animation is so good, the storyline FOR ME, is bad.

Revenge of the Fallen still UNBEATABLE!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince had an opening day fit for a king. On Wednesday, the sixth entry in the blockbuster franchise conjured $58.2 million on nearly 10,000 screens at 4,275 sites. That ranked as the second-biggest Wednesday ever behind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen's $62 million, and fourth-biggest among all opening days.
Yeah! TRANSFORMERS 2 is still unbeatable on HP6's first day of release.
Go Transformers!!!
I don't like this movie (HP6), but I'm looking forward to The DEATHLY HALLOWS 1 and 2...that's so Theater BREAKIN'!!

My Future Film Predictions
I have seen their trailers, and based on them, my predictions has come out of the couch. Here are my selected films and my predictions.
1.Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - I predict this film would definitely come out badly (sorry for the HP fans). The CGI is good and the characters also. But most of all, after the Goblet of Fire, I didn't understand Phoenix. So I've decided that the next film would definitely drops on my list. But i'm looking further for the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2. But I'm going to watch this in case of some prediction changes.
MY PREDICTED RATING: 2/5 Stars
2.PUBLIC ENEMIES - I think this film would rock! Johnny Depp on an action movie??? that's sounds cool. Without humor in his film, I thought that he sucks. But when I watched the trailer. He shows the best on what he've got! Im looking forward for this film which is playing on the Philippines on July 22.
MY PREDICTED RATING: 3.5/5 Stars
3.UP - For me, UP will be the kid's film of the year but for me, I didn't like it. I don't like their concept. Flying house with balloons (tons of them) and finding several misadventures like storms, giant birds, and the like. But i'm going to watch them on DVD rather wasting my money on this film.
MY PREDICTED RATING: 1.5/5 Stars
4.THE HANGOVER - Woo! is Mike Tyson really there? the answer is yes! and this film is really funny even if I didnt see it on theaters yet. I like their funny concepts and the girls! I have nothing to say but I'm looking forward for it to hit the big screen.
MY PREDICTED RATING: 4/5 Stars
5.2012- Oh darn! it's doomsday already? It's too sudden and I like it. On the other way around, I like the CGI so much! It rocks a lot. And with John Cussack on the film, it rocks! I'm definitely like to watch it on November 11 I think.
MY PREDICTED RATING: 5/5 Stars
6.NEW MOON - Eventhough I didn't like TWILIGHT so much, I'm looking forward for this film and I think this will be better than the previous film. Unlike TWILIGHT, NEW MOON has a fine script and concept. With Taylor Lautner as a wolf...it's good! I don't want to say something 'bout this but I'm looking forward for it
MY PREDICTED RATING: 4/5 Stars

The Fallen Has Risen
TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN did it!!!
wew!! after 2 years of waiting for the sequel of Transformers, it finally came out! And even much better!!! Everything are well-made, fantastic and superb. The best in here are the fight scenes, it's so extreme and pulse-breaking. Also the jokes are too funny, we laugh out loud with their jokes. And finally, Megan Fox is so hot, even in all angles, she is so cool.
The film opens with Optimus Prime narrated that in the ancient times, there are Transformers, they are working with the Sun Harvester and fight humans. The fallen is focused in that scene strangling humans. Then after that, the film return in the present times, in Shanghai where the Autobots will defeat Demolisher and Sideways. Together with Prime, Skids, Mudflap, Sideswipe, Arcee, Chromia and Ironhide, they defeated the two. Then after the transition, Sam is going college, when he enters on his dorm, he met Leo, that he became a friend in the film. Meanwhile, Sam called Mikaela, during their conversation, something fell on the floor which is the AllSpark, when he picks up the item, several ancient text flashed in his mind and had a mental breakdown, writing symbols in his Astronomy class and in his dorm. Then, he met Alice, the Pretender Decepticon. Alice then enters the room, seducing Sam, and Sam enters his car, Bumblebee together with Alice. Then, Bumblebee knows that Alice is a Decepticon so, he destructs Alice buggling her seat, sprinkling something and snowy radio music. After that, Alice leaves the car and then Sam went to Prime then Scalpel, a Decepticon doctor, prepares to remove Sam's brain, but Optimus and Bumblebee appear and rescue him. In the following battle, Optimus takes on the Decepticons on his own, killing Grindor, however, he is ultimately killed himself, stabbed from behind by Megatron.
Megatron orders a full-scale assault on the planet. The Fallen speaks to the world and advises them to surrender Sam to the Decepticons or they'll continue their attack. Sam's parents are captured by Rampage. Sam, Mikaela, Leo, Bumblebee, the twins and Wheelie regroup, Leo believing his online rival "RoboWarrior" may be of assistance. The man is revealed to be former Sector Seven agent Simmons. Simmons reveals his hidden alien archive and explains that the Transformers have visited Earth before, as their language is written on ruins all over the world. Wheelie identifies the language as that of the Primes but only a Seeker can translate it; Seekers being used by the Primes to locate suitable stars for harvesting. They find such a Seeker, a former Decepticon named Jetfire, who Sam is able to revive using the second shard.
Upon learning the situation, Jetfire teleports the group to Egypt via a space bridge and explains that the tomb of the Primes is located in the surrounding desert, and only a Prime can kill the Fallen. He then stays behind to allow them to find it. By following the clues, the group find the Matrix in a tomb in the ancient city of Petra, but it crumbles to dust in Sam's hands. Believing the Matrix can still revive Optimus, Sam collects the dust and instructs Simmons to telephone Major William Lennox to bring the other Autobots and Optimus's body.
The military arrives in short order, but are tracked by the Decepticons, resulting in an intense battle. During the battle, Bumblebee rescues Sam's parents from Rampage, killing both him and Ravage in the process. Devastator is then formed and unearths the Sun Harvester in one of Egypt's pyramids before being blown to pieces by a railgun fired from a nearby destroyer called in by Simmons. Jetfire arrives in time to save the group from Mixmaster, slicing the Decepticon in two. He is then attacked by Scorponok from beneath the ground and badly damaged but manages to crush and kill Scorponok. The air force carpet bombs the Decepticons. Megatron gets through the carpet bombing and kills Sam. In a vision, Sam meets with the other Primes, who tell him that the Matrix of Leadership must be earned, which Sam has done. Sam is brought back to life and the Matrix reforms from the dust. Sam uses it to revive Optimus, but the Fallen, with aid from Megatron, steals it shortly thereafter to activate the Sun Harvester. The human military tries to stop him but are powerless against him. Jetfire, having been mortally wounded by Scorponok, gives up his life and parts to give Optimus the strength he needs to defeat the Fallen. Optimus destroys the Sun Harvester and then fights both Megatron and the Fallen, brutally destroying the Fallen, and Optimus claiming that "I rise, you fall". And leaving Megatron heavily wounded. Starscream convinces Megatron to retreat.
The film concludes with Optimus stating that the Transformers and humans are now connected by their histories and Sam returning to college.
I want to watch it over and over again. As my advice, DONT TRUST SOME CRITICS SAYING THAT THE FILM IS NOT GOOD. WATCH IT BY YOURSELF AND JUDGE IF THE FILM IS GOOD OR BAD. FOR ME IS FANTASTIC AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE FILM. Overall I recommend this film highly.
MY RATING: 5/5 STARS

I Can Wait Forever
When I Met You
I Suddenly fell in love with you
I Courted you with all I've got
And suddenly, my efforts grow, that's what I've Got!
That day is so inspiring
When days go by, I'm still mesmerizing
I Love you so much
And you love me even better
Then One day come
That we need to broke apart
With your misunderstood feelings
With the words "I don't love you
and I'm Sorry"
I suddenly cried and worry
I will not stop
Hoping your love come back
I will do anything
For your feelings to hind
I still love you
And I hope you still love me
Until the end of time
I will do Anything
I CAN WAIT FOREVER

Drag Me to Perfection
Wow! This film is my one of the best this 2009! This really a shocking film and thanks to Sam Raimi 'bout that! After the Evil Dead series, Sam Raimi Returns to his specialty genre, the horror genre. After Spiderman, another hit strikes the Philippine cinemas, Drag Me To Hell. This film tells about a loan officer (Christine) that turned into assistant manager and she encountered a woman that begs for an extension to her mortgage because she is suffering from economic problems. Then Christine refuses for another extension because it's the third and last extension. Then, the old woman follows the girl in the parking lot and pulls her outside the car. Then the old woman picks out the button and said "Soon, it will be you who comes begging to me," then she return the button to Christine. And after that, Christine needs to stop the curse given to her and lately, she didn't stop it, instead, she's dragged by the devils hands from hell and pulled her underground. The special and visual effects are very good and Sam's own strategy of horror is very effective. It's so scary and I like his strategy of putting some humor on a very scary film. And it's so gross. Like on the cake with an eye popping out and strikes by a fork and there's some blood splatter. I suggest that don't buy popcorns or any foods because you will puke it out when you see the film. This film is highly recommended. This film ROCKS!!!

Goodbye Summer :D Hello Junior!!!
MY BLOG IS BEST VIEWED WITH MOZILLA FIREFOX
Hey! this is my last blog post on May and my last post on the summer season.
I think my summer is worth it coz I learn so many things and I love it. I learn how to play some of the famous songs in the piano, learned how to be a good altar server and to be a true follower of God, how to socialize more with others, learn to LOVE and not to be LOVED.
I enjoyed so many things this summer like the Lenten season, instead of being solemn and quiet, I'm so happy on that week, coz I've found her and love her. Then being present at the "SALUBONG". I enjoyed it so much unlike last year, I think there will be a better SALUBONG next year.
Next is the Retreat care of KOA. I enjoyed it coz I learn how to be a real and true Altar Server and to be a follower of God. I learned so many things in the retreat like the kinds and wonders of prayer, the purpose of being a true Altar Server and how to be in touch with God more. I confessed also, I said my most forbidden and most extravagant sins that I've done since after my last confession which is on the year 2006 or 2007. So there are so many sins that I have to say to the priest. And I took 30 minutes in that confession and the priest requested my to pray 5 our father. And we will have a follow up of the retreat this coming saturday! Yay! I'm exited coz it's swimming time!
And Lastly, I enjoyed in this summer is that I've found and owned her, the girl of my dreams. But we broke up a month and a week after coz some things are needed to be fixed and understand. Until now, I'm still waiting for her love to come back, and I'm doing everything that I can to bind us together again.
So this have been a long blog entry, hope to see you next week for my new blog entry.
Coz I'm going to be a Junior High Student! Good for me! and next year I'm going to graduate! Yay! See you! Ciao!

COME BACK TO ME - DAVID COOK
You say you gotta go and find yourself
You say that you're becoming someone else
Don't recognize the face in the mirror
Looking back at you
You say you're leavin'
As you look away
I know there's really nothin' left to say
Just know I'm here
Whenever you need me
I'll wait for you
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you come back to me
Take your time, I won't go anywhere
Picture you with the wind in your hair
I'll keep your things right where you left them
I'll be here for you
Oh, and I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me
I can't get close if you're not there
I can't get inside if there's no soul to bear
I can't fix you, I can't save you
It's something you have to do
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
Come back to me
So I'll let you go
I'll set you free
And when you see what you need to see
When you find you, come back to me
And I hope you find everything that you need
I'll be right here waiting to see
You find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me
When you find you, come back to me

HOLY TUESDAY
Hey!!! Sorry for the long wait... I'm here again posting my latest blog. For Today... I find this day a tiring day. Last 3 pm... we had a practice on our parish for the preparation for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. We had finished our practice for about 5.45 I think... so the wy of the cross was adjusted from 5 to 6.30... Then after that, I went to my house to change clothes. Then I came up again to church for the way of the cross. It was tiring because we've done it from 7 I think until 10 pm. We had started it from our parish and finished on our past KOA's house. When I came up to my house... I've feel tiredness... and that's it... that's the end of my Holy Tuesday... So that's for now... Sayonara!!!

Lent
So..I will start my March 8 with a solemn day. In the morning, I went to the adoration chapel for the vigil and after that, I went to the church to do some activities and later, I will go again to serve for the last mass. Then after that I will review for My Test in Biology, Values and Algebra.
Then for tomorrow, I will go to school, then after going to school, I will go directly to the church for the celebration of the anniversary of El Shaddai and I have a very big role in this event, I will handle the Incense and will assist the priest in the mass. The mass is on 6.30 PM so after school, I will commute because my service will depart from the school at a very late time and it will cause tardiness on my attendance on the KOA. So that's for now and I'll leave you a nice BYE BYE!!!

Code Geass - A Must See Anime
Code Geass is a must-see anime. Why? See the synopsis below:
On August 10, 2010, a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered Japanese forces and conquered the country with their new, powerful, robotic weapons, the Knightmare Frames, in less than a month. In the aftermath of Britannia's invasion, Japan lost its freedom, its rights, and even its name, becoming Area 11 of the Britannian Empire. The Japanese people, renamed as "Elevens", are forced to survive in poor neighborhoods, while Britannians live in first-class settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese organizations struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.
After his father, the Emperor of Britannia, failed to prevent the assassination of his mother, an attack which also left his sister blind and crippled, the young prince Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia. Seven years later, he accidentally becomes mixed up with "terrorists" in Area 11 and encounters a mysterious girl named C.C., who gives him the power of Geass. With it, he finally has the power that he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister Nunnally can live happily.
Is that interesting? Watch Code Geass on TV5 coming soon.
