Sorry bakla lang, lasing pa!

NOTE: Some spoilers ahead.



I laughed out at this line, "Sorry bakla lang, lasing pa!" by Paolo Rivero's character in "Walang Kawala".

Agent J & I were able to watch this last night at Robinson's Galleria IndieSine of course.

The movie is great (of course it's a Joel Lamangan film!), though there were some pretty disturbing scenes mostly with Emilio Garcia's psychopathic scenes.

Going back to the Paolo Rivero-Joseph Bitangcol scene, I'm very sorry but that was very mean of "Waldo". I mean, what was he thinking?! Well, maybe he really loves "Joaquin" so he decided to be "best friends" with his housemate.

Nothing is more painful than a heart whose broken. Physical pains are pains, pero iba pa rin talaga pag puso na. And then the rejection and loneliness sinks in.

BTW, I noticed their house was the same house used for the movie "Roxxxanne". The front door and stairs are very familiar!

The best 'yung frontal ni Marco Morales (photo above), grabe binuyangyang talaga. I wonder if that frontal part was really shot along with the audiences at the gay bar. Hmm...nah I don't think so.

Aljur Abrenica was cute here, medyo *matigas* lang katawan nya, hehe!

Polo Ravales is also great here. I admire his acting. Hats off! Sexy as always and very nice butt!

Emilio Garcia's performance here was phenomenal. Very natural. There were times during the movie where I hated him like hell. Sobra.

The rest of the cast was ok I suppose. Another future addition to my Pinoy DVD collection. Yipee! I haven't got a copy of "Kambyo" and "Imoral" nga eh. But what about "Troika"? Attention!

Okay, off topic na. I'll give the movie 4 and a half out 5 popcorn bags. And yeah, one of the very few movies na pwede kong ulit-ulitin.

The Mutant Chronicles

Agent J & I went to see this one last Wednesday night. Biglaan 'cos medyo late na kami nakarating ng Megamall. We were to watch "Bangkok Dangerous" but were 5 minutes off so we opted to watch this one.

I found the movie kinda stressful on the chest. I think I must not watch movies like these 10 years from now unless I do something about my heart/blood pressure issues.

Anyway, the lead actor is amazingly familiar, Thomas Jane. I looked up his profile and learned he appeared on "Dreamcatcher" which I liked, well a bit. Medyo morbid din yung movie, hehe!



Agent J immediately concluded this movie is a "low-budget" movie. I was actually astonished kasi ok naman 'yung effects. Except for the blood, which I find very fancy. I thought they were simulating a game-feel effect since the movie was based from an RPG with the same name.

The movie is fast-paced though I was a bit saddened John Malkovich has a very short-lived role here. And the character Brother Samuel (played by Ron Perlman) was funny because his other movie "Hellboy 2" was also playing alongside this movie.

When Agent J & I bought the tickets for "Mutant Chronicles", that's the time I remembered we haven't watch "Hellboy 2" yet. Darn! Well, maybe next time. I actually have lost count how many movie nights Agent J and I had.

Babylon A.D.

I love sci-fi movies, I really do. I was very excited to watch this with Agent J last Monday, but I was very (read-VERY) disappointed with the ending.

It makes me wanna read the actual novel from which it was based upon.

I also happen to like Vin Diesel. Yes! And I'm looking forward for his "Fast and the Furious" next year as well.

The critics were kinda harsh on his acting here, but I don't care. The moment I hear his hoarse and voice, oh my! Well, you know what I mean.



Michelle Yeoh is fantastic here doing her own stunts. I was a bit shocked she died here. Oops! Spoilers! My bad.

The actor who played "Aurora" here (Mélanie Thierry) got pretty on the second half of the movie. Yes I know she could've taken a shower and all that, but coming from a convent all her life and then upon arrival in New York and she suddenly has that supermodel look? Hehe!

I like the rap music on the beginning of the film. But I really wish our world will not come to that state in the future; nuclear war, mass-scale chaos, rage.. I do not feel like living if my world's like that.

Movie Time: The Happening

This is one movie I'll never forget. Despite the rash critic reviews it received, I find it hard to sleep for at least 2 nights after watching the movie.

Scenes from it are still in my mind. Even Agent J was a bit worried why I got carried away with the film.

We went to see this movie by the at Gateway last Wednesday night. It's my first time to watch a movie at Gateway, and geez ang daming Vekhs! Agent J simply responded, "This is Cubao, what would you expect?"

For me the movie is just fine. I don't know, maybe the issue of airborne fatalities bothers me.

And for the record, Mark Walhberg is still VERY hot! LOLz

Movie Time: The Bucket List

I am so moved by this film that I nearly cried towards the end. I remembered Lola kasi.

By the way, this one is actually a Film Feature in our company. May free popcorns siya in fairness. And the time slot I chose was 10pm-12mn since my sked is 1am to 10am.

In our program, I am the only one who went to see the movie. I guess most people are not interested in it.

I remember seeing the billboards for this film along EDSA waiting sheds and thought, "Wow! Morgran Freeman and Jack Nicholson in one film?!"

Unfortunately I wasn't able to actually see it in a moviehouse. So when the frontdesk sent the first notice for the Film Feature and it was "The Bucket List", I signed-up immediately.

The movie was great. That is already expected. However, I can't remove the notion that it is somewhat a 'gay' film since there's this 2 men touring the world together. But on the serious note, of course they have a reason in doing so.

Lastly, I thought also to myself if I would want to have the option to know when my time's coming, or just let it be. Personally, I would love to have the opportunity to know when my time's up. At least I will have the chance to say goodbye (or sorry) to the people I love or will miss.

The bad side on that one is that ultimately there's the self-pity going in. I have been the 'self-pity' type of person most of my life, let alone the fact that I will be going soon. That would be horrible.

Overall, life is too short for anything. I'd like to enjoy every single day of my life with people whom I love and care for. I've learned a lesson with the passing of my grandmother before and I would not let that happen again.
