Nostalgia Manila



I was looking for Lea pictures on the net when I stumbled upon this blog, Nostalgia Manila.

I was impressed!

From ViewMaster (mine's lost, I think), old TV shows & commercials, to those circa 60's to 80's magazines, tex cards (remember those?! haha!) to old Manila streets and cars! Wow!

Check out the site guys!

Okay, I actually opted for the DiCaprio-Crowe flick "Body of Lies" but again, Agent J insisted we watch this one since he had experienced playing the game. Ok!

I can't say it's that good, but it's not bad either. Like "The Mutant Chronicles", I actually got the urge to play the game but I don't know, I'm not the gamer type of guy.

I actually saw the trailer for this film when we watched "The Mutant Chronicles" or before that. I am honestly not sure how many movies Agent J and I have seen together. I've lost count.

Later I found out the character 'Natasha' (played by Olga Kurylenko) is the leading lady of Daniel Craig on the upcoming James Bond film "Quantum of Solace". No wonder she looked very familiar!

We actually watched this at TriNoma last Saturday morning. We were on the THX cinema so astig ang mga gunshots scenes! At si 'Sucre' (played by Amaury Nolasco) of "Prison Break" nandito din pala! Haha! His role is a bit different here.

Agent J & I were discussing if it's Chris O'Donnell as one of the supporting casts here. I waited for the end credits and I was right, it was him. Geez, he look that old nowadays? Or was it the character for the film?

For someone who haven't played the game and has no idea who the hell Max Payne is prior to watching the movie, I'll give the movie 3 1/2 out of 5 popcorns. The slashing and scattered body parts scene is a bit disturbing.

As usual, Mark Wahlberg is hot as always. I've read bad reviews about him again on this one but I don't really care. I dig the 'bukol' scenes nyahaha!
