When to stop? When to let go? When is the right timing? Where do we go? How to ignore? How to unlove? Ooohh crap how do I stop when the director said cut?

We have set a group date movie night out again, of course with the crae-crae friends. It should be this Sunday. However.... I'm just too excited about the movie that I drag my friend to its 3rd showing day. And that was yesterday, (Fan na fan lang peg!) And just because of that I ruined the group date, kill me now guys! :D



I find the movie depressing. I went home feeling sad. How such a love that was so perfect just can't happen, maybe it was only a perception. There can't be perfect. Maybe it was just an idea. A pigment of imagination, or maybe just a mere feeling. Illusion.

What was amazing is how each and every one can relate to it. The movie made me feel normal. The crazy antics of someone who fell inlove so deep, something overwhelming, that she said it out loud, and professed her love, which i did, oohh yes for many times, billions if i may say... in my mind, in my simple gestures, in my inner most thoughts. The harmless stalking, "planned coincidence", even the idiotic self conversation... it's all normal pala.

Sometimes when in a relationship, you somehow loose yourself, and ohh by the way im not speaking from my own exprience. Friends and movies was the culprit of this realization. But how can someone loose their self if they say "you complete me!"? And how can the other half let that someone loose their self? When they should be taking care of each other. Mystery ayt?! Verum Es, totoo ba ito?! Choss!

There are a lot of lines that I love, that was used in the movie. But on the top spot is... drum roll please... read the title of my entry! :) ooh and by the way, I'm giving the story of this movie, 3 thumbs up, if only I have a third thumb. ;)

I heard a lot of good words about Resorts World Manila, in terms of good food, cozy ambiance for foodies, sophisticated place for play/theatre lovers and the convenience and a different experience for movie go-ers. It's been awhile since they open to public however because of it's location, I declined the comfort and new experience it may brings. However it seems that my "no" is a "yes" awhile ago. Change is inevtable. Amen to that.

Fresh from the city of lakes, (yep, daughter duties, visited my homies over the weekend), i opened the door to my apartment and found my two housemates laughing their heart to some boob tube show. And like a lightning in the middle of summer sky, i blurted, "tara nood tayo movie!", oooppss I did it again! Me and my impulsive mouth, uurrgghh!

It was 0900pm then, so when we checked nearby cinemas, all of their last full show will be shown 15-30 minutes from 9. Then a light bulb with sparkles appeared just above my head, Resorts World Manila. We checked schedules online, called their hotline and boom before we knew it we hopped on a cab with my girls for a spur of a moment movie night out. *winks*


So we decided to watch Bride for Rent, (okay fine! I decided which movie to watch!) starring Kim Chiu and the super hottie Xian Lim. It's all about a man who hired a girl to play as her wife so he can get his trust fund. The plot is a cliche, very wealthy man, hired a poor girl, fell inlove, a conflict occured, then they live happily ever after. But what makes it good?! Is how the actors portray their part, the lines, and how some of the parts just tackled in such realistic form that i thought how real is reel?! Or reel is real?!  There is a part of the movie which they interviewed a real couple and all of them says the same in finding the one, "pag nakita mo na sya, alam mo na sya na yon".  And then for the other parts, i was choked laughing, out loud! Hahahaha!
Newport Cinema in Resorts World Manila is an upscale cinema house. Crowd is more sossy compared to others. I suppose they covered their mouth when they laugh on those hilarious part. But since we just don't care they have must been gotten envy on how jologs we were and get them loosen up cause I heard them laughing at the top of their lungs,like we do, as the movie progresses.



I was looking forward actually to their movie house seat. Heard they do have a lazy boy, but not at the cinema we've been. Maybe that would in their different cinema room, but the seat we had was comfy too. The seat itself shaped to your back and can be slant. It can turn into lover seat as well since you can move the hand rest. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try that. Soon! LOL!

                                                            

"Tati Nood tayo brave? Nood tayo brave! Nood tayo brave! Please!"

And.. and.. and.. She doesn't take NO for an answer. Especially when her backer was her lolo and lola,  tsss! They're always like that... plotting against my back. Uuurrggghhh! Yeeeaaahh What can a softie like me (LOL) can do.. I said YES.

Soon Merida finds that the consequences of her wish would lead to a disastrous consequences. It might cause a rift in the kingdom and wors of all, irreparable damage to their family.
Merida finds herself battling to reverse the effects of her wish and in the end, Merida learns a hard lesson in life which might also be the salvation of her family. 

We headed to cinema earlier this afternoon, not knowing that there will be a celebrity mall show, and dude lem'me tell you, the mall was uberly-packed. Needless to say we had a hard time going up to the cinema which was on the second floor since the people on the activity area are blocking the escalator, so no one can literally go up. We brave the crowd, my dad carrying the princess while I lead the way, facing the raging crowd.. because of uhhmmmm Coco Martin (well he's cute! Choosssyy me! charmoist) and my mom holding my dad on the other end. A lot of excuse me was thrown and some discrete elbows as well, hehehe! (parang basketball lang!) Luckily about 10minutes before the movie starts, we got ourselves standing  infront of the ticket booth. They're now using this smart card, it's like MRT card, where you have a terminal and slip it and then all you have to do is push the little steel so you can enter. You know what I mean, ayt?! hehehe! I dunno how you call it, for that let's name it... -THE KEME- chosss!

Before experiencing the smart card and the keme thing, (again you already know that I'm a popcorn movie goer type, sometimes I ponder, Am i going to the cinema because of the movie or the popcorn?! 60-40 Let's give it up for the... POPCORN!!!) me and boo ten-ten bought our faburittttoooo, uhmmm popcorn with the biggie soda! All set for the brave, we marched down to Cinema one and took the best seat.



Boo Ten-Ten was engrossed to the movie that she seated just at the edge of her seat, all eyes, errr I mean her big eyes, on the screen once in awhile she'll look at us and ask "Ano sabe daw mama?". And then for any humor inserted in the movie you'll hear her laughung at the top of her lungs, regardless if she's the only one laughing. Dyahe pero she's cute like that. hehehe! For my mom and dad, based on how they look ten-ten, those smile whenever Ten-Ten have questions is a give away on how they feel on our movie date. Their grand daughter happiness is theirs as well! Spoiled apo!... and my hapiness too! Spoiled pamangkin! Indeed! Chosss! Calling her mother, beware and prepare! hehehe! Amishhooo Ate Apple! See you next year!

This is it pansit!

I've encountered a couple of stripper in my life, and believe me, screaming was always part of it. Although it wasn't like screaming for help but like a screaming wow! hahaha! I haven't been in any stripper club, (though when I was in college that would be like our crazy dream, another one is to have a underground gambling hub co-managed by friends. insane! ikr! LOL) those where once in a blue moon experience where I was invited to attend a bridal shower. It was indeed a crazy night!

Set in the world of male strippers, Magic Mike is derected by Steven Soderbergh and stars Channing Tatum in a story inspired by his real life. The film follow Mike (Tatum) as he takes a young dancer caledd The Kid (Pettyfer) under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money.

Luckily, I still have 4 movie tickets that I've won last sports fest, so we (Monee and Me, we're tatums-butt fan!LOL) forced and tagged along LV and Erinssi. The butt exposure is definitely what we're waiting for. Talking about a Manyak Wednesday! LOL! The movie schedule that we've picked starts not until 0955pm since we're tied at work till 0830pm that night.

Growing up I'm more of a Power Rangers, Captain Planet, BioMan, Shaider, Ultraman Ace fan rather the Marvel comics heroes. My older brother has more to say on the Marvel thingy. I remember him coming home with this suspicious brown paper package handled with utmost care. And when he opened it...


...fresh from this local comic shop boasting that it's one of their limited edition, woooaaaah! The hell I care! LOL!

After so many years here comes "Avengers" movie. Huwwhhaaattt??!! All right I didn't turned ballistic at all when i heard the news, naaah aahhh! But I know the guys, they are from my neighborhood (choooss!), well I'm definitely not a fan but I'm not stupid. Let's just say I dunno their whole story. So when the movie came out, I said... "All right!! So how are you doing today?" Toinks!

Until day, weeks passed and heard the positive raves from the movie goers. So when a friend invited me for a movie night out, I decided to go ahead and check the movie.

After the events from the film "Thor", humanity realized that they need more powerful weapons to counter-attack alien invading forces. Coincidentally, they find the tesseract, a cube-like structure with vast power, that they hope they can harness to these weapons. Unfortunately, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) gains possesion of the tesseract and has a plan to takeover as king of Earth. Now, Nick Fury ( Samuel L. Jackson) has decided that the only hope that humanity has is to rekindle the now-defunct Avenger initiative and assemble a group of extraordinary men namely: Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). The group must find Lki and the tesseract before he is able to use its power to gain access to an alien army.

I was hesitant to watch the movie on the big screen thinking that I won't able to understand it since I haven't watch solo movies of any of the avengers and damn I'm not into bloody fight scenes. Although I'm not seems like it, I'm indeed a peace lover. (Choss!)

Surprisingly I find it very entertaining and worth watching. The turn and twist of events hold me on my seat and eyes glued on the screen all through out the movie. Dull moments is alienated in this movie, Iron Man sense of humor let me laugh-rolling out loud. Such a funny man and If I may say Robert Downey Jr. played his part well. Now I'm thinking of going to a nearby video rental store for the Iron Man The Movie (is it good guys??!! shoot me an email if it's worth it!). Actually every story of each of the avenger are definitely good, it was like a typical aliens wanted to conquer but in the end the good will prevail. I haven't watch any trailer of the movie so I'm really puzzled what role was Mark Ruffalo played until he turned into a green scary hulk! My niece was soooo aliw with The Hulk especially when he do all the shouting and moves scaring people around him. Chris Evans is definitely one helluva eye candy (gwapo aaayy!) his seriousness however is a big turn off to me (ummfftt! choossy pa! LOL) however he must been living to his name the captain that's why he's acting like that, so i'll let it go! Paaaaak! The Black Widow is ... uhmmm who is she?! hahaha! I don't know her ever until I watched the film. Good job on Scarlett acting, and she's naturally pretty just like me (un ang sabi ng nanay, kaya wag na kumontra!).

Sometimes you just have to go beyond your comfort zone, and you'll realize that it isn't that bad.

HEHEHE! too much for a movie review... joke! All I want to say this move is a two thumbs up! Superbly awesome. Money worth it. Belly aching tawa out loud! Paaaak! That's it! Pansit!

"May the odds be ever in your favor!"

The long awaited movie. Months before you can see mee searching onlie, most of the time in tumblr (follow me puhhlleeaasseee www.thepulpyorange.tumblr.com) for movie clippings, pictures, interviews etc. As you know I already blogged 'bout the book so I'm really excited on the big screen version. The long wait is over... What's my verdict?!



I expected it to be more gory, blood everywhere and full of action stunts. The kilig scene in the cave was cut short. They drop some characters that I thought was very essential. The last match between Katniss and Cato run differently in my mind. Cato's death wasn't that good just like how it was narrated in the book.

But... But... the movie was actually good. Hehehe! I didn't expect much that they'll cover everyhting in the book. That doesn't really happen. So glad that I've read the book and you must actually read it to appreciate it more. Anyhow I believe that Katniss and Peeta was well portrayed by the artist. I'm now counting the days for the sequel...

That's it! Pansit!

Medy (Pokwang), a make-up artist, was given the chance of a,lifetime to accompany a concert star to the United States for a performance. She promised her family that she will return after a week. However, while in America, she stumbled upon a former classmate Helen (Beth Tamayo) who convinced her to stay for good in the land of milk and honey. She initially refused, but eventually gave in, when she got a call one night from her husband that they need a big amount of money to bring her youngest daughter to the hospital. America has not been the friendliest to her and our story begins with her coming home to Manila literally with nothing.

Medy's two kids, King (Rayver Cruz) and Queenie (Xyriel Manabat) are now 19 and 7. King struggles with the return of his mother. Animosity, resentment, shame, and anger are issues he has built with Medy. For the young Queenie, it's getting to know the mother, who she thought would one day com out of a Balikbayan Box. And as for her husband, Medy discovers something she least expected.

In "My Househusband:Ikaw na!" Eugene Domingo plays Aida, A mistress who happens to be Rod (Ryan Agoncillo) and Mia's (Judy Ann Santos) neighbor. With Mia always away,Rod and Aida develop a friendship that even has the Mrs. jealous at one point. When Rod lost his job, Mia again started to work as a part time insurance policy agent and the conflicts within their families started when Mia and Rod are being beaten by their pride, strategies and how to solve their financial constraints.


Fresh from frendshift get together all the way from Bulacan, we decided not to end our day with the long trip (darn traffic!) going back to Manila, we alighted as soon as the bus stops at SM North Edsa (waaah! first time ko! LOL)...

WE ARE GOING TO SEE A MOVIE, A MOVIE, A MOVIE AND IT'S FREE, AND IT'S FREE!!


Deary Renzie paid for our movie tickets (punishment cancelled several night outs, wag tularan! LOL) and equally generous Ninang Gracee treated me for a bucket of popcorn (how will i suppose to watch a movie without it, eerr, how can you breathe with no air?! get it?! arte much?!)...


It's a feel-good movie. However the good part was lacking when I step out the movie house. Superstars like Judy Ann Santos and Eugene Domingo are far from questioning with the not soo good result of it, same thing with Papa Ryan which is very familiar with the said role  (married to Juday?!).I didn't felt their lines, the story wasn't that catchy or they didn't build up each scenes well so everything was so forgettable. I'm sorry mom this is what I really felt (Mom is Juday die-hard) but the thought of opening the people's mind of somehow taboo issue in a light manner makes us value our family more, the value of keeping the marriage together, despite of money matters, friendship and taking responsibilities.

I thank you! Bow!

The antagonist, a mad king, seeking a weapon to free the Titans from their prison and unleash destruction on the world; The protagonist, a peasant, trained by the gods to champion their cause and save the day.




I'm not a fan of greek mythology. Stories about mortals being the champions of the gods and fighting impossible odds to save the world from doom, is not that interesting for me. (pang intellectual lang yan eh?! nyahaha). I condemn movies with gross-bloody-morbid story line and most of all you'll never ever see me watching any thriller or horror flick movies (chick... chick.. chicken! chick.. chick.. chicken!)


Due to series of not sooo unfortunate events but ended to an unfortunate event (hannngguullooo?!) I was tagged by a friend to watch a movie with her friends. Leaving me with no choice, I decided to join. After meeting them in the cinema lobby, we bought the movie tickets! 


What can I say?!?! "WE ARE SOOOO WATCHING IMMORTALS! YES! IMMORTALS! IMMORTALS! WOOOOHHOOOO!" What on earth is Immortals?! Storyline please?! This may sound lousy other than Imortal by Lia and Matteo (kung jologs kayo, alam nyo na yan?! LOL), Immortals doesn't mean anything to me. (sabe ng friend ko ang corny ko raw! nyaahhaa!)


My Verdict.


Half uhmmm change it 3/4 of the movie I was like a kid covering her eyes as if the monster under the bed will attack any moment. This is one helluva morbid movie! I just can't take it! However as I've said I didn't have a choice! LOL Though I'm not expecting anything about the movie I did found it entertaining, uhmm more than entertaining, fantastic if I may say.The fight scenes are awesome. (clap! clap!clap!). I think my friend's friend is right.. BE OPEN-MINDED! (but i can still close my eyes inside the cinema right?! LOL)


Regarding the "KAPA" there is a scene when the gods and goddesses, pretended to be mortal and with just 360 degree turn, a cape will appear and viola DYOSA ka na! nyahaha! So i really want the KAPA! Crazy?! IKR!

Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots becomes a hero when he sets off on an adventure with the tough and street meet Kitty Softpaws and the mastermind Humpty Dumpty to save his town. This the true story the Cat, The Myth, The Legend... The Boots!


This was like a pinky promise to my little boo ten-ten so even it was raining hard that day, we conquer the strong winds and fury rain just to make it to the cinema.

Rewind... Rewind... Rewind...

Busy as a bee that is November for me, (soo love it when it rhymes!) but since I have a deal with the niece I gone to Parental home early that Sunday morning to be with my family. My ever soo suhweeet dad, never fails to cook a special meal during weekends (sinigang! delicioso!), he met up with me so we can go home together after we do the grocery. Little did I know the rainy weather that day will push me to one of my most embarrassing moment in my ENTIRE life. Uuurrgghhh! To make the embarrassment short what happened was, I lost my balance and fell flat on my back (on with my bulky backpack) and feet up. I ended up with a bruised, dirty elbow and a shameful experience with the city people as my audience. daaarrnnn!

Anyhow going back to the the cat wearing boots...

Not just physically hurt but emotionally damage as well (charla!), me and boo ten-ten gone to the cinema, with popcorn and coke to keep our anaconda quiet for an hour or so.

My verdict... Well the characters are exceptionally cute, no doubt, especially the little puss in boots. That's it! Nyahhaaa! Animation, approve! Fight scenes are awesome as well, (Kitty Southpaw! Go girl power!) story line is so predictable but since my niece enjoy every bit of it. Thumbs up!

Ooohh and did I mention that we rented the whole cinema for this movie?! I didn't??!! uuurrrgggh! Because we did not! Well it looks like it but no.. not.. nada! LOL! It so happened that we are the only movie goers out that night, in spite of the storm! Because.. WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE RAIN! Charla!

I first saw the trailer when we watched No Other Woman. I got really excited to watch Vice Ganda in his newest movie, The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin. Office friends planned to have a movie night out on it's premiere night however due to some unexpected vl and other lakads, it was cancelled. However due to stress that week, impulsively we head to the cinema to distress.


Benjamin is a gay who is born in a military family. The problem arises when he's father gave up the title and instead pursue his scientist dream. Because of that Benjamin grand father disowned them. They started a new life and his father started to invent gadgets and unique deadly weapons. However when civil war in the Philippines breaks out. He is forced to to enlist in place of his ailing father.

 My verdict. This is definitely one stress buster movie! "Pag bakla salot agad?! hindi ba pedeng malas muna?", "Hilda Kernel!" and "nay-tay-nay-tay.nay-tay", those pick up lines killed me and Derek... hahaaay! Derek! *drools*

Although I laugh out loud to this movie, the jokes and comedy plot is somehow predictable. Seeing Vice Ganda on showtime everyday and experiencing the way he attacks comedy, I will not be surprise if they will tell me that Vice  wrote the script for the jokes or the funny conversation.Most of his lines in the movie are his lines on how to entertain the madlang people everyday.

Anyhow, at least one thing is for sure, we we're all happy after finishing the movie. More relax and more ready to face another day! hehehehehe!! That's it! Pansit!

Monee, Orangee, Aryanee and Monee's popcorn :D
















Ate ni Erinssi, Erinssi, Aryanee and Piercing ni Aryanee :b










I can say that I enjoyed this event that was organized by the office... So what else can I say??!! "uhmm pde next time ung kay Sara and John Lloyd naman??!! Choss!!"

Thank You Office!!

"Everyday hindi mo siguro mabibilang ang mga taong maiinlove, but you have to find your target. In order to win you have to understand that this is a game of temptation but you have to be discreet. So discreet that mustn't all notice that you're tempted. Kunwari hindi ka interesado, now let them see your pursuit, don't let go.And when that moment comes act fast, never ever look desperate. Never, you see this is your game and show who's in control. - Ram"


This movie tackles about infidelity. It's a story of an heiress (Anne Curtis) with a married furniture designer and supplier, portrayed by Derek Ramsey. It's a steamy love story which I'm not interested at first since I can't relate, (and it's perfectly fine!) however friends decided to watch it and I'm a bit low that night, uhmm... Movie to unwind, why not?! coconut!



It seems everyone got caught by the intense, witty and sometimes sarcastic quotable quotes, for that Let me share some of my faves...
