I’m sorry, these are not exactly my idea of decent reviews but my brain isn’t working right now. (Like isn’t it always?) And I really need to get back to work now-now. Wow, time is a scarce commodity nowadays.

Because updating Twitter and Plurk every whatever hour is too grueling a task for me (yeah, I’m lazy like that), why not deliver updates all at once every week? Wahaha.
February na! Birthday season. Hahaay. Most of my friends are Februarians. And as I said before, unlike January which I have a love-hate relationship with, February [...]

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Genre: Comedy; Director: Danny Boyle
Stars: Dev Patel, Anil Kapoor, Freida Pinto
After watching the film, I felt disappointed. I wasn’t expecting myself to like it. But I DID. Tremendously. Haha. And this might be the first time that I’m rooting for an Oscar frontrunner. (Two years ago, I liked Little Miss Sunshine better than [...]

Status: Perfectly functional.
Music: Smack into You | Jon Mclaughlin
Wow, time flies. January has only a few days left.
I still got tonsilitis. Dammit. But it’s aright, I’m completely functional. Just that my breath smells like a slice of durian you trap in a jar for a week and then you open it and voila… welcome to [...]

Note: The list includes Hollywood films only. And these are not a list of the best horror movies but the most unforgettable for me. This is my list after all. Haha. This was originally written for crunkish.com. I know this post is too late for the Halloween but what the heck.

I remember this one time I was having a few rounds of beer with my friends Jon and Marck somewhere in Metrowalk when the conversation suddenly made a sharp curve onto “Jologs Avenue.” I was shocked but delighted to learn that they had a jologs side, too. And it made me wonder if my friend [...]

He sings, dances, acts on stage and screen, and he’s [People Magazine's] “Sexiest Man Alive….”
Hugh Jackman was announced Friday as the host of the 81st Academy Awards, a marked departure from the academy’s standard of big-name comedians. Jon Stewart who hosted in 2008 and 2006, and Ellen DeGeneres, the 2007 host, were the latest in [...]

Yep, this is the time of the year when I pick three blog sites that deserve a million hits and call them “Blogs of the Year.” There are three categories: Entertainment, Socio-Political and Personal. Most of the time, I put so much weight on how often I visit the blog, how well it’s written, and [...]

Note: I was supposed to write a full-blown genre criticism of The Dark Knight but I figured writing something too Film-graduate-ish is uncalled for. So here are some random thoughts about it and the other Batman movies. For what it’s worth, I saw the following movies again recently. You know, just to refresh my [...]

Wanted (2008)
Genre: Action, Thriller; Director: Timur Bekmambetov
Stars: James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman
I love love love this film. In fact, of all the movies I’ve seen this year, this is my favourite. Although many would have expected a complex plot, Wanted has a simple, solid, brave storyline which is executed beautifully. Technically, prepare for a [...]
