I couldn't find time or the mood to blog because of the time I spent on video games and movies and in the Philippines (for 5 weeks) this vacation.</p> ******************** <p align="justify">So I just came back last Tuesday (Wednesday morning in Philippine time) from my 5-week vacation in the Philippines. The flight to Canada got delayed so I think we were two to four hours late. <strong>Anyway all I can say is, I want to go back again to the Philippines so badly. </strong>There I was able to relax with not spending too much time on the computer as well as not doing a lot of household chores (since there's a maid). And like I said to my friends, life in the Philippines is more enjoyable and less mundane (at least, that's what I think). I got to see my relatives again and I got to do and see things that I so badly missed in the Philippines.

The protagonist unselfishly gives his dreams away for the benefit of the townspeople. This heartwarming film has immediately captured my heart right from the first half of it, and it manages to make me cry at the tear-jerking last scene with the people singing Auld Lang Syne and all. Flashbacks are used to show how George Bailey has helped most of the people in town as well as the people close to him. They also show that he has always planned to leave town and go travel but somehow something always gets in the way and he is forced to stay and help the people around him instead. After a few crucial events, he decides to take his own life and wishes that he has never been born. He soon learns to appreciate life when he literally sees life go on without his existence with the help of an angel. After watching this film, almost anyone will learn to appreciate life and the fact that we were born and exist. James Stewart's character, Ge... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/77 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 03:15:50 -0000 I have attempted to watch the whole film after catching only a few glimpses of it in a couple of TV channels but I am pretty sure that I have watched this film when I was a kid since most of the scenes seem quite familiar. I usually hate extremely cheerful and happy-go-lucky characters but almost anyone even the most bitter ones can easily fall in love with this film and its characters. The film is not exactly visually stunning but the colors are still bright, vibrant and appealing especially for children, the film's targeted audience. I still don't understand why Judy Garland is a gay icon though but she does a good performance here especially for a young and new actress. The song Somewhere Over the Rainbow is the only song in the film that I find catchy but overall, the music is quite great and pleasing. I just don't like the film's concept of how evil people look like and the extra arc in the beginning of the film which is not a part of what the film is based on. I believe t... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/76 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 02:44:33 -0000 Known for its unsimulated sex scenes with gay, lesbian, bi and straight characters and for starring Sook-Yin Lee, a former VJ of Canada's MuchMusic, this film is one of my personal favorites. It is really kind of weird that this film didn't stir up that much controversy as I was pretty sure that some right-wing extremists would find this film very offensive. Anyway at first, I didn't like how the film ended but after my second viewing of the film, I really began to appreciate the film more. The story revolves around several characters: a woman who has never had an orgasm even when she has sex with her partner, a man who seems troubled and depressed with his relationship with his gay lover, and a female dominatrix who has never had a real relationship or human interaction at all. There are also other subplots such as the one about the voyeuristic stalker who seems to be following the gay couple. I love the colors and the overall tone of the film, and I am glad that this film doesn't... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/75 Fri, 13 Jun 2008 02:09:47 -0000 I recommend this film to any hardcore fan of The Beatles and anybody else who grew up listening to the songs of one of the most well-known bands in history. I actually didn't grow up listening to The Beatles; I unashamedly grew up listening to the songs of the pop band ABBA. But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate and adore this film especially now that I am familiar with some of their songs after watching Across the Universe which is another good film by the way. This film really shows the true colors and the whacky and spontaneous personalities of The Beatles. I am just not fond of the obsessed fanboys and screaming fangirls in the film. In this film, the members of The Beatles prove that they are both talented musicians and good actors. Well, they just acted as themselves on screen but it should be noted that it is still hard to act in front of the camera whether you are playing an unfamiliar role or not. They might not be professionals but they aren't amateurs either. The fact... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/74 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 22:32:03 -0000 It is one of the worst movies that I have ever seen this year. When you let mainstream people, who know nothing about or have limited knowledge of the gay/lesbian community, do a movie that is supposedly showing care and tolerance for the gay community, you get these offensive jokes, stereotypical depictions, awful drag outfits, and tiring cliches. I mean, come on. Leather fetish? Liza Minnelli and Cher as gay icons? Brokeback Mountain? The N-Sync guy who just recently came out of the closet? Are those the only things heterosexuals know and think about gays and lesbians? By the way, no drag queen or transvestite will ever wear that hideous butterfly outfit that one of the minor characters wore in the gay bar. I did laugh at some scenes but most of them are awkward laughs and some felt kind of forced. I am just offended by the rest of the jokes. And I am annoyed by how Rob Schneider depicts an Asian person, specifically a Japanese one; it's not even funny. I am terribly reminded of ... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/73 Mon, 9 Jun 2008 22:01:35 -0000 It is a Japanese animation film bursting with color and also filled with both disturbing and beautiful imagery from the recurring image of the chaotic parade to the weird visuals and events in the policeman's dream to Paprika's different transformations. It is both a dream-like and nightmarish experience. The subplot with the cop is as interesting as the surreal main plot. Through the subplot about the policeman, Satoshi Kon shows his absolute love for movies. And the techno music is awesome. This animated film is the most visually stunning one that I have ever seen since Spirited Away. This film's story revolves around the device called DC Mini which allows its user to see other people's dreams and Paprika, a virtual woman whom the lead protagonist Dr. Atsuko Chiba turns into when she is in the dream world. I won't explain more about the story since the plot is very confusing and kind of hard to put into words but it is still understandable even with the countless scientific and t... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/72 Sun, 25 May 2008 02:47:07 -0000 Jim Sturgess, the film's lead actor and the actor from Across the Universe, is pure eye candy. His acting is convincing but not that great enough. And Kevin does a somewhat good, if not mediocre, performance. He does better in films American Beauty, Se7en and Pay It Forward. The film also lacks of humor, and there are some scenes and lines from characters that I think were supposed to be comical but just became corny and lame. I am also annoyed and pissed off by the fact that the women and the Asians in this film only have supporting or minor roles. Only Ben and Fisher, as well as the professor, are the big players while the females and the Asian guy are the ones who only do the hand signals and look out for the police. And may I ask why Kevin Spacey, who acts as the professor, specifically says that he doesn't trust Jill and Kianna, the women to let them be the big players? A simple guy becomes tempted by the enormous riches he can get by counting cards but in the end, he goe... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/71 Sun, 25 May 2008 01:48:25 -0000 This cheerful and endearing musical film will keep both Woody Allen fans and musical aficionados smiling from the beginning to the end with the simple plot, the special tribute to Groucho Marx, the wonderful musical numbers, and the witty dialogues which are always to be expected in Allen's films. And it never takes itself seriously. It almost feels like Woody Allen is also poking fun at the musical genre itself with the musical numbers performed by the spirits (Enjoy Yourself, It's Later Than You Think) and the ones by the medical staff at the hospital (Makin' Whoopee). Although they are very talented, the actors and actresses except Goldie Hawn in this film are very inexperienced in singing so they don't sing that well. But at least, they sing naturally. I believe that Drew Barrymore is the only one who doesn't use her actual singing voice; her singing parts in the film are dubbed because she herself thinks that she sings terribly. The choreography for two to three musical number... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/70 Sun, 25 May 2008 01:13:22 -0000 The film's title is obviously a reference to William Shakespeare's comedy play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and apparently it is loosely based on one of Ingmar Bergman's films. This film might not be as witty as Annie Hall and Manhattan but it is still as humorous as any other of my favorite comedy films. With his wits and neurotic persona, Woody Allen can never go wrong with his films. This romantic comedy film by Woody Allen is about the metaphysical and spiritual world as well as love, sex and relationships, hence the title, as the three couples of this ensemble talk about sexuality and philosophy. Leopold, one of the characters, doesn't believe in the existence of spirits, souls, and other entities and ideas that haven't been proven by mankind while the others somewhat believe in this world apart from the physical world we live in which leads to debates and discussions. The film is also hilariously about not missing the opportunity when it comes whether it be the right opportuni... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/69 Sun, 18 May 2008 00:20:20 -0000 A young Daniel Day-Lewis licking the neck of another man is pure bliss. This film has a lot of themes and conflicts: homosexuality, racism, politics, England's economy in the 1980s, and the life of minority groups in England, particularly the Pakistani. Omar, a young Pakistani man starts working in one of his uncle's prosperous businesses and soon becomes the manager of a laundrette owned by his uncle. Later, he meets Johnny (Daniel Day-Lewis), an old friend of his who seems to be a part of a group of white neo-fascist punks. As the story advances, it is revealed that Johnny and Omar were lovers back then, are still in love with each other and decide to keep their relationship a secret. Their love and friendship helps in making the laundry business become better and more successful but of course conflicts with Omar's plan to marry his cousin and the hatred and discrimination of Johnny's neo-facsist friends towards immigrants and other minority groups.

A woman, along with her kids, moves to a commune where her brother stays and lives the hippie lifestyle after her hot-tempered and abusive husband hits her, and it revolves around different characters inside the commune. It looks at liberal values and the hippie lifestyle. There are a lot of themes being dealt with in this film: feminism, politics, liberal values, homosexuality, alienation, loneliness, etc. The people inside the commune discuss about politics and express their opinions in many issues. And after the new family moves in, the norms, values and rules in the commune slowly change. And all characters have conflicts of their own. The good-natured Goran is not entirely happy about his open relationship with his wife and can't seem to leave his wife and get mad at her for having feelings for another man... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/67 Sun, 11 May 2008 04:26:46 -0000 Although I think Quentin Tarantino is overrated and misogynistic, I have to admit that this double feature, directed by both Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, is very entertaining and awesome. It is the definition of "cool". Just like Tarantino's other movies, this film is a homage to his favorite movies, particularly to B- movies and films of the exploitation genre from the simulated film scratches to the missing reels. To anyone who plans to watch this, watch both films in one viewing and don't watch them separately to fully enjoy the experience. The double feature features an all-star cast and although both films are completely different from each other, both of them have awesome music, completely cool characters and good plots even though I think the plot of Planet Terror is kind of lame and cliched whether it might be intentional or not. The "missing reels" of the sex scene and the lap dance are totally hilarious and priceless. The concept of the fake trailers is great t... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/66 Sun, 11 May 2008 03:48:53 -0000 If I had watched this years ago, I certainly would have loved this but too bad, I didn't. The sappy and somewhat predictable ending, the typical Hollywood ending, would have been something that I would love years ago. I love happy endings but not sappy and cliched ones. I mean, what's up with the you-belong-to-me crap in this film? I am also annoyed and upset by the stereotypical and poor depiction of a Japanese person in this film which unsurprisingly is done by a non-Japanese actor. Not only is Mickey Rooney, the one who plays Mr. Yunioshi, Holly's neighbor, trying to make fun of the Japanese but he also tries so hard to be funny when he isn't. His look in his face and the way he acts completely ruins the overall tone of the film. But putting that and the ending aside, I love the two main characters and most of the scenes. Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly is very charismatic, sophisticated, and energetic, not to mention her extravagant and gorgeous outfits.

And this couldn't have been a masterpiece without the amazing directors, the stellar ensemble cast and the heartwarming short stories of love. Each short film is supposed to represent one of the twenty arrondissements of Paris. Each one of them stands out on its own, and I love all of them except for at least one or two. Each shows a different kind of love in Paris: love between two men, love between mimes, love between people of different cultures, love between a mother and her son, concern and care of a babysitter for the baby she takes care of, love between old lovers, etc. I particularly love the stories directed by Gus Van Sant, Tom Tykwer, Isabel Coixet, Gurinder Chadha, and the Coen brothers. Unlike other movies, this film has a realistic approach to love and has no cliches or stereotypes whatsoever.

"We'll always have Paris." "Play it again, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'." "Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine." These are some of the most popular quotes in film history and all of these come from the movie Casablanca. Casablanca, an extraordinary film, is well-known for its memorable lines, witty and cynic dialogues, and hilarious quotes. It is inarguably one of the greatest and most unforgettable movies of all time and no, it isn't as overrated as Citizen Kane. No one can ever imitate the brilliance of this film. And everyone who tries to watch this film must watch it until the end, and only in the end will one truly appreciate this film. It is also amazing how there wasn't a specific plot and ending planned for this film and the makers of this movie just came up with the characters' lines along the way.

So far, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, The Lives of Others and Into The Wild are the ones that I consider as the greatest films of 2007. And although these three films are completely different from each other, they are all very heartwarming, touching and simply amazing. Guess who directed this film? Sean Penn. Yes, who could imagine one of the greatest actors of all time as a great director too? Anyway, this inspirational film is based on a true story. It's about Christoper McCandless, a man who decides to travel to the wildnerness and get away from society and who finally decides to go to Alaska. And along his journey, he meets different kinds of people who all have been kind and friendly to him. The film has lovely images of nature, from animals to breathtaking sights, as well as some rather grotesque and unpleasant images of nature.

I don't understand why there was too much hype with this film a year ago when it was first released. Frank Miller's Sin City is way better than this other work of his. But I just want to praise the makers of this film for the brilliant special effects, the cool costumes, the interesting creatures, and the completely computerized yet realistic environment. The soundtrack is also good, and the visuals are stunning. But I don't like the story, the characters and the dialogue. I just feel indifferent for the characters. There is also not much characterization. The audience only know the characters as men raised to be tough and strong. And only a few characters show vulnerability, weakness and other natural human qualities. The only character who I like is Queen Gorgo, the wife of King Leonidas, and I really like the scene in the Council and what she does to the manipulative traitor. The lines are also so lousy and cheesy. The story is very simple, and it d... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/61 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:47:38 -0000 After watching a couple of movies by Kevin Smith, I can consider this film as his masterpiece, his magnum opus. I can't believe I kept postponing watching this film because I really enjoyed watching this film. Anyway, this movie is about a comic book writer, Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck), who falls in love with a lesbian. He admits his love for her, and the woman suddenly accepts his love. Yes, a lesbian falling in love with a straight man might be very unbelievable and unrealistic but Alyssa Jones, the woman herself, explains why she has fallen in love with Holden too. The realistic dialogues about sex and homosexuality shouldn't put you off. With the constant foul language and the real, and sometimes hilarious, conversations about sex, this film only has good intentions. The characters such as the gay black man who does a tough and straight guy persona to sell his comic books and the homophobic and hot-tempered best friend of Holden who is always being called a "tracer", are very q... http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/reviews/item/60 Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:27:05 -0000 It's all about luck, that's what Chris Wilton, the protagonist played by Johnathan Rys Meyers, believes. When a tennis ball hits the top of the net, it either goes to the other side or on your side. And with only luck can the ball go forward on the other side of the net. That's his belief in life. With this somewhat pessimistic outlook in life, he manages to be lucky when he meets a daughter of a very wealthy family. Then, he foolishly decides to have an affair with Nola Rice, played by Scarlett Johansson, just because of lust and obsession. I don't want to give away any more details of the story but the protagonist does everything, and I really mean everything, so he can live a wealthy life. The protagonist goes from being obsessed to being desperate, and he is completely insane. Let's just say that unfortunately, he doesn't run out of any luck.

The three protagonists, especially Don Lockwood, are so charismatic and delightful. The actor Gene Kelly also has an adorable smile and a charming presence. The iconic scene of Don Lockwood literally singing in the rain is just so wonderful and unforgettable. The other musical numbers may not be as exceptional and iconic as the one where he sings in the rain but they are still great and totally unforgettable too. It seems like only early musicals had tap dancing along with the singing and the dancing. Gene Kelly and the others tap dancing is just amazing. Anyway, the cinematography of this film is simple yet exceptional. I love how the filmmakers have decided to show a fictional sequence so they can experiment with colors and other filmic elements. And most of the musical numbers have such dazzling and bright colors.

Most of the films here are directed by great directors such as Pedro Almodovar, Ang Lee, Hayao Miyazaki, Francois Ozon, Susanne Bier, Alfonso Cuaron, Deepa Mehta, Takeshi Kitano, Wong Kar-Wai, and Satyajit Ray. From this list, I highly recommend the movies Volver, All About My Mother, City of God, Bad Education, C.R.A.Z.Y., Pan's Labyrinth, Paris Je T'aime, Amelie, and Water. http://theaddictedone.multiply.com/photos/album/11/World_Cinema Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:41:27 -0000
