HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 2 ALBUM



Cool

I’ve been listening to the new album for the nth time now. I love it!!!
Cool album!
If the first one is refreshing?
This one is really cool!!!

There are 11 tracks which were also featured in the movie-musical except the last track.

What Time is it? – This is one is a Bang!!!! It’s really frivolous and hot on the dance floor! Great track from the whole cast. Great welcome song!
WATCH THE VIDEO
Fabulous – a very cute song from Sharpay & Ryan. Yeah, so fabulous. The intro though sounds like Part of Your World from A Little Mermaid.
Work This Out – this is one of my fav coz it’s groovy and I love the urban hook.
You are the music in Me – A lovesong from Troy & Gabriella. It’s beautiful especially on the last part.WATCH THE VIDEO
I don’t Dance – This is ok for me but Chad & Ryan were tryin’ to imitate Michael Jackson & Justin Timberlake. It’s still a cool song.
You are the music in me – This one is Sharpay’s version. It’s a joke but you will love her coz she’s funny. Troy is also here in his awkward voice. Funny track.
Gotta Go My Own way – One of the best songs from the album too. It’s poignant and Vanessa Hudgens can really sing with soul. Though the melody sounds like a song from Jesse Mccartney.
Bet On It- My fav track coz it’s unique. It shows the future of Zac Efron. He could be a next big pop star.
Everyday – This one reminds me of Breaking Free from the 1st album and Happy Days from Sister Act 2. Yeah… rip-off? I don’t know. But I still love this song coz it’s really catchy.WATCH THE VIDEO
All For One – Another great track that features the whole cast. This one also reminds me of We’re All In this Together .It still gave me a zesty splash.
Humuhumunukunukukuapua’a- This is the bonus track from Ryan & Sharpay.
A very cute song for the summer. Hawaiian song to dance. I like it too.

Well, I love this 2nd and I’m still not sick & tired listening to the songs just like the 1st album. What are you waiting for??? Buy the album now!!!!

THE ULTIMATE RACE



THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM



I’ve been following JB’s life ever since his identity was revealed and became supremacy afterwards. Nope,not James Bond but America’s very own Jason Bourne!

After watching “probably the worst “3rd” of the summer” last week, I am referring to Rush Hour 3 of course; I was so relieved that I ended my “3rd quest” with an enormous magnificent bang!!! Thanks to “The Bourne Ultimatum”! One of the most enjoyable & satisfying films of the summer. Just my 2 cents. Ok, it is the best film of 2007 during “Rainy season” here in RP.

I’m still wondering if they used the Filipino Martial Arts in the film. The fight scenes are comparable to Die Hard 4 where our very own M.A. was used, proud to say yes our very own stunts! I just can’t stop commending the fight scenes. So gripping! Great execution from the Talented Mr. Ripley I mean Damon.

Honestly, it’s like watching The Amazing Race again. The camera shots are similar to my fav reality show. That’s why I enjoyed this so much. Of course, JB was traveling from one country to another. Taxi here, bus there, train here, plane there etc…
I love his ultimate race!

Of course, thanks to Julia Stiles. I really like her. She’s different. She ain’t that pulchritudinous but there is something in her. Unfathomable beauty???

Well, please catch this ultimate film. I guarantee that you won’t leave your seat even if nature calls. Gosh, I endured my “pee pain”. Is it the right term? LOL !

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

THE COLOR & WEIGHT OF MUSIC



What is the color of music?

What is the weight of music?

The answers are in Hairspray!

I suggest that you should watch this amazing stage play adaptation of the Tony Award-winning 2002 Broadway musical of the same name. This is now included in my list as one the best and most entertaining movie adaptation of a musical. I also love the message of the film. If you enjoyed Chicago & Rent then Hairspray is your next Broadway stop!

Honestly, I wasn’t familiar with the songs from the musicall before watching it here on its first day showing. So I was clueless about Hairspray. The film opened with a beautiful & unforgettable song titled “Good Morning Baltimore”. I instantly love it coz Tracy the pleasantly plump girl is really gorgeous when she is dancing & singing. I almost forgot that she is kinda overweight. Nikki Blonsky is really perfect in her role. I read that she was the lucky winner during the audition. Good for her! She is the main character in the film and she sang most of the songs. She is cute! I just love her rendition of I Can Hear the Bells.

Intermittently, I was hypnotized with the songs and the dance choreography.
Wow! The songs are awesome. Very catchy & makes you wanna dance with them.
They are groovy and tasty.

Watch out for songs like “The Nicest Kids In Town” ,”It Takes Two”, “Ladies’ Choice” & “Without Love” coz Zac Efron from High School Musical is also here as Link. I didn’t even recognize him maybe he is cuter when he is blonde. He is sporting raven hair here. They made him like Elvis Presley. By the way, James Marden you know Cylclops from X-men can really sing and shake his bon-bon too! Watch out ladies!

I was surprised to see an amazing ensemble. John Travolta portrays a mother role and he did it so well. Michelle Pfeiffer was an amazing antagonist as well as a racist. Both starred in Grease 1 & 2 respectively. Greasy huh? Queen Latifa brought the house down too as Motormouth Mabel. Amanda Bynes is such a cutie bitchy teen. Christoper Walken filled some humor too.

I really wish that they will show the sing-along version of this film here coz I heard that in the US they are showing it so that the audience can interact with the film. It will be an amazing experience I guess. Definitely I will watch it again!

It’s palpable that I really love this film. I know you will enjoy this too. By the way, don’t abscond during the end credits coz you’ll hear 3 new songs not featured in the film. I look forward that “Come So Far (Got So far To Go)” will be nominated for Best Original Song in the Golden Globe & Oscar next year and hopefully will win the award. Well, I am optimistic that this film will rake nods from left to right. Let’s see.

Moreover, the art direction and costume design of the 60’s is really believable.

Adam Shankman is the director and also the choreographer and he did awesome just like his previous family flicks like A Walk To Remember & The Pacifier.

Run and tell that HAIRSPRAY is the most magical color of music and you can’t stop the beat!!!!!

CAPTIVATING PANORAMA

MISS POTTER

This is one of the most beautiful films to be considered when it comes to the scenery.Wow the place is charming and its a dream place for every writer in the world.Thats why Miss Potter was captivated with the magic of the spellbinding natural landscape.

This film was based on the life of a best-selling British Children Author; Beatrix Potter. Academy Award Winner Renee Zellwegger played the role and its her reunion with Ewan McGregor after their first film Down With Love. I remember reading Miss Potters books when I was still a toddler. Actually, in the film when she was starting to draw and talk to her lovable characters I shed a tear coz I had flashbacks on my kindergarten books. and sad to say I didnt have a nice childhood. Weep. :~(

The script is just ok. Her lifes story is not that enormous but you would still love the lovely Miss Potter. Actually, this is also a film for spinsters. There is still hope & magic out there.

I would like to commend Renee coz she performed the role remarkably. She can really act and speak British fluently thanks to Bridget Jones.

I missed this during the cinema run but I recently bought the DVD coz its out already and I highly recommend this to all British Film lovers.

Miss Potter is a stunning film but not as huge as Harry Potter. I am pretty sure many muggles were intrigued if this is more like the story of the Boy Wizard. Not exactly!Lets wait for a decade or more and we will see another film about a British author.How bout Mrs. Rowling???That would be awesome!

WATCH THE TRAILER

HEY IVE SEEN THIS BEFORE! DEJA VU?


DEJA VU

There was a weak-word-of-mouth about this movie when it was shown here in the Philippines earlier this year so I wasnt able to catch the theatre run. I wasnt that agog.The video is already out so I decided to watch this since this was also produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

Actually, its like watching Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban. That turn-back-time scenes of Harry & Hermione is comparable to DEjA vu. This time its modern and sophisticated. I was overwhelmed with the twists coz I really love watching this type of movie. I like the time continuum scenes of Denzel. He is really a good actor. Jim Caviezel is also good as the antagonist.

There are only few action scenes but expect some explosions. Bruckheimers trademark you know.

The film is dedicated to all the survivors of New Orleans. So expect some music from the soulful city. Macy Gray performed the theme song. Its a sad song about turning back time.

Its really a good movie. I felt delightful after the last scene. You will think about the phenomenon called Dj vu.


WATCH THE TRAILER

LOQUACIOUS & ATROCIOUS


RUSH HOUR 3





I enjoyed Rush Hour 2 and early this year I wept while watching Rob-B-Hood so I told myself why not watch this new Jackie Fan movie?

Well, it was just ok. Typical no-brainer popcorn flick. Predictable stunts. Palpable double stunts. Same Jackie Chan stunts but still enjoyable. Watch out for the gripping Eiffel Tower scene I think its the only highlight of the movie.

For me the only problem here is Chris Tucker. Sometimes his punch lines are funny and most of the time he is corny and tend to be hammy going to corny. Their chemistry didnt click anymore or maybe I was just sick & tired watching them for the third time.

Another 3rd for this Summer? We had Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3, Oceans 13 & The Bourne Ultimatum. I dont know if Rush Hour 3 is the worst. Lets wait for the Razzies next year to decide.At least they showed the beautiful Paris but I already saw most of it in Amelie, The Da Vinci Code . Ratatouille. & in The Amazing Race. Honestly, Id rather watch episodes of TAR with Paris as their destination for Pit Stop.

Anyway, this is a 5 star film for a huge Jackie Chan & Chris Tucker fan but not for everybody.

Hmmmm....if I were you Id rather wait for the DVD and Cable TV premiere.

REFRESHING ZESTY WAVES


SURF'S UP



If you love March of the Penguins coz it’s beautiful;
If you love Happy Feet coz it’s cool and frivolous;
Then give Surf’s Up a chance coz it’s refreshing!!!!!

I really thought that this is just a hunky-dory animation but I was amazed coz this film gave me so much fun. I love the CGI. Sony Pictures Animation improved a lot.
I was overwhelmed with the ocean and the waves coz it’s almost real. I love the vigorous colors they used. It’s like having fun under the sun while running to the fine white sand of the beach. Or if you’re into surfing? What are you waiting for? Surf now and feel the waves to a nearest theatre near you.

This is a mockumentary animation. Ha ha ha!!!Even better than Borat. I guarantee that the story is satisfying. There is a twist but it’s kinda predictable. Nevertheless, the humor is simply superb. I was laughing most of the time.

The voice acting? Can I give them awards please??? Shia LeBeouf is remarkable. Strong
voice performance as Cody our protagonist. Jeff Bridges gave a marvelous moment. His voice is perfect too as… secret! Napoleon Dynamite’s Jon Heder is simply side-splitting as Chicken Joe.

The soundtrack??? WOW!!!! Totally cool!!!
Imagine Green Day,311, Incubus, Sugar Ray, Pear Jam, Lauryn Hill & New Radicals are contributing in the film. Their songs were played too as background music.

This animated film can stand alone.
It is really different from other films from Pixar, Dreamworks etc.
But I would give the award still to Happy Feet as the Best Penguin Animation so far.

The ocean just got cooler.
Surf’s Up is A Major "Ocean" Picture!!!!

MANDY MOORE'S WILD HOPE




I'm listening to the new album of Mandy Moore.” WILD HOPE".
This is her 5th after her "COVERAGE" which I really love. This one offers new songs.
CLASSY ALBUM!

For Wild Hope, Mandy collaborated with producer John Alagia (Dave Matthews Band, Liz Phair) and has written material for the first time: she wrote/co-wrote songs with Rachael Yamagata, Chantal Kreviazuk, Michelle Branch, Lori McKenna and indie pop-folk duo The Weepies.

The good thing about in this album is that she co-wrote all the songs. It has 12 tracks in it. The way she wrote her songs I think she can be compared already to Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Jewel, Amanda Marshall & Michelle Branch. She is now a sophisticated and cozy singer/songwriter.

Songs I really love are "Extraordinary"(her first single),very cute "All Good Things", very catchy "Slummin' In Paradise", cool "Few Days Down", ambitious "Most Of Me", posh "Nothing That You Are", refreshing "Latest Mistake", enigmatic Ladies Choice, dreamy “Gardenia” and my ultimate favorite of all the best "Wild Hope".
There is a beautiful hook!!!!
Basta naaadik na ako sa mga songs niya dito. Heavy rotation sa player ko!

I guarantee that if you're a huge Mandy fan you will definitely fall in love with "Wild Hope"
This is so far the best album she ever had!

EXTRAORDINARY

I was a bay tree
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody's darling
Flying around in perfect circles just for company

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary

A midnight airplane
A window blowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
But you might see me in the corner of my eye

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary

Waking up to wake up someday
I am my own parade
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
Wind is playing in threes
Kick up confetti leaves
Seems as if it's all to say

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary

And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready
And now I'm ready to be extraordinary


VISIT HER MYSPACE

ANDREA CORR'S 10 FEET HIGH

I recently bought Andrea’s Debut Album. Nope, The Corrs is not breaking up. They’re just taking a long hiatus for their families.
Jim, Sharon & Caroline have kids to take care right now.
Since Andrea is still single but happy. She released her solo album.

What can I say???
She is awesome.
Her voice is still palpable that she’s part-Corrs. This time you can’t recognize the sound of her siblings’ trademark.
You will miss the Celtic/folk/pop touch.
Andrea’s 10 Feet Higher is a must collection for a hardcore fan of the group just like me.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

There are 11 tracks.

Hello Boys
- it’s kinda like funky pop/rock . I like it. It’s a seductive song actually.

Anybody There- I love the piano hook here.

Shame On You
- the 1st single. It’s very political. It is anti-War and I love the angst in this song. I love dancing with this.
I Do- it’s short but cute but it sounds like Psapp’s Cozy In The Rocket.

10 Feet High- it’s the title track and very soothing. The intro reminds me of Children by Robert Miles. Ripoff? I don’t know but I like this too.

Champagne From A Straw- This is one my favs. I love this instantly. The song is so frivolous. Very catchy.I think this is next single.

24 hours – a very serious track but nice and I feel like dancing!

This is what it’s all About- a very romantic love song. I love the acoustic vibe of the guitar. Enchanting performance from her too.

Take me I’m Yours – wow this track flabbergasted me. You won’t recognize Andrea’s voice here. This track is electronica inspired. It’s cool by the way.

Stupidiest Girl In the World – the song is not that stupid in fact it’s very angry. But, she didn’t sound so furious at all. It’s like she’s hiding it inside. Clever song.

Ideal World – this is the only song where you can tell that she’s from THE CORRS. Their sound is present here especially when Sharon’s violin begins to cry. I love this last track.

Ten Feet High is Andrea Corr's debut solo album. Previously entitled Present, the album is produced by Nellee Hooper whose credits include U2, Gwen Stefani, Madonna & Björk and is executive produced by U2's Bono. The album is due for release on June 25, 2007 with the lead single, "Shame on You (to Keep My Love from Me)", being released on June 18, 2007.


All the songs on the album have been composed by Andrea herself, save for one: a cover of the first Squeeze hit "Take Me I'm Yours". According to unnamed sources in an article from Hot Press Magazine in January 2007, the album will be different from The Corrs' sound

SHAME ON YOU VIDEO

SHAME ON YOU LYRICS

You left me thinking what a bore
I'm always stuck inside
I've got a feeling there is more
Than I've been left behind
A lot of pain a lot of noise
That these four walls hide
Happy faces go to war.
And dance upon the mines

Chorus
Come join come join come join us
Your barely young come join us
Youd be a man come join come join us
You're big and strong come join us

You planted me in foreign ground
A pen within a hand
At least I am not on my own
In hell I have a friend
I know I find (innocence) ashamed?
It isn't my crusade
Dirty faces in a war
Asleep in open graves

Come join come join come join us
]
Your barely young come join us
You'll be a man come join come join us
Your big and strong come join us
Shame on you shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me-shame on you
Shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me
Shame on you shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me

Shame on you-close your eyes to see shame on you shame on you
Shame on you shame on you shame on you
To keep my love from me
When you close your eyes to see
You block your heart to me?
You changed his name to a number?
But he survives a child

SNEAK PREVIEW TO HER NEW SINGLE SO SMALL

UGLY BETTY

Wow!!! After watching the Pilot Episode, hooked up na ako.
I love America Ferrera coz she is a great actress. The first time I saw her was in the movie “The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants”. Pinaiyak niya ako doon. As in nakita ko kaagad na may potential siya mabigyan lang ng break.

Patapos na yata ang season 1 sa US di pa palabas ang Ugly Betty ditto. Buti na lang kinuha ng Studio 23 pero di ko rin napapanood kasi night shift ako.
Alam ko based siya sa Telenovela na Betty La Fea. Big hit ito sa Channel 7 dati tuwing umaga.

When I saw at the Golden Globe a& SAG na nanalo si America as Best Actress. Shit! Na-curious na tuloy ako na panoorin ito. Then recently, nominated din ito sa Emmys.
Kaya no choice ako na bilhin ang bootleg DVD9 Collection ng whole season 1.

Hanep talaga!!!! Ang ganda ng story. Nakakatawa si Betty. Lalo na si Amanda at Mark.
Kinikilig ako kina Henry & Betty. Ewan ko ba bakit love ko sila? May chemistry sila na nakakakilig.

Si Eric Mabius naman hanep din ang kagwapuhan at yummy talaga. Kaso nakaka-turn-off minsan ang pagiging playboy niya.

Si Vanessa Williams ang the best na kontrabida! Taray!!!

I love the whole season. Maraming twists at talagang excitng panoorin bawat episodes.
Excited na ako sa Season 2.

MISCHIEF MANAGED!





HARRY POTTER & THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

For me Prisoner of Azkaban is the best Harry Potter film yet.Hands down to this film by Alfonso Cuaron!!!
Why I love this? Why I am still fond of watching this film for million times already?Its simply because this is the bravest of all.
This is the first bold and sinister screenplay from Steve Kloves thats why I fell in love immediately with the script. I really love the twists in the time turning continuum scenes with Harry & Hermione. Even the Firebolt as the ending part is simply enthralling. I love it.
The music is really magnificent. Of course, its from Sir John Williams. You know it would be amazing. Actually, his score was nominated both in the Oscars & Grammys.Though he didnt win but for me he is the real winner. Kudos also to the song A Winters Spell. Its my one of my fav songs treasured in my heart.
The visual effects are spellbinding. I love the way they depicted the dementors. They are really spooky. Then the puppetry of the hippogriff is simply superb.The whomping willow scene with Harry & Hermione was unexpected and it really blew my mind.
The troika showed their acting potential in here. Especially Harry & Hermione.The reason why I became a H/Hr shipper coz of the amazing scenes between them.I love them both.
Anyway, Alfonso Cuaron really rocks here. He is so stylish. I want him to do The Deathly Hallows too. Ive been praying now. I hope he will direct it.
THE BEST HARRY POTTER FILM OF ALL TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here click the two trailers:

FUTURISTIC CUARON


CHILDREN OF MEN

“Children of Men” is not your ordinary movie. This is an outlandish science fiction film set in an apocalyptic Great Britain of 2027, the film explores a grim world in which two decades of global human infertility have left humanity with less than a century to survive. Societal collapse, terrorism, and environmental destruction accompany the impending extinction, with Britain, possibly the last running government, persecuting a seemingly never-ending wave of illegal immigrant refugees seeking safe haven.
“Children of Men” explores the theme of hope and faith in the face of overwhelming futility and despair.

Alfonso Cuaron is an amazing auteur. I really love him! If you were enthused when you were watching “Y Tu Mama Tambien” & Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban then you gotta see this! His direction is remarkable. Cuaron really made me cerebrate while watching this. He wants us to scrutinize how those things happened. He tries to encourage us to picture the conclusion. The film is all about hope. I really love the message of this film.

Cuaron’s shots are innovative. I always see & feel the Prisoner of Azkaban atmosphere. If you were awed with his style then you will be astounded again. I love the lengthy single-shot sequences. I was uttering to myself like“oh my God that was amazing!” I had goose bumps raving to some scenes especially the ambush, the futuristic nativity and the raging battle. Hats off to Cuaron and the gang coz they made a pristine effect.

The cinematography is really award-winning. It’s believable that it’s really filthy 2027.
The editing too is magnificent. That’s why they won in BAFTA and nominated in the OSCARS.

Another masterpiece from Alfonso Cuaron!
The film is not yet shown here but the DVD is already out I suggest that you should buy it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

JIM CARREY’S “REBUFF JINX”


EVAN ALMIGHTY



Trivia :
ORIGINAL : The Mask – Big Hit from Jim
SEQUEL : Son of the Mask – Rejected by Jim ( Flop!!!! )

ORIGINAL : Dumb & Dumber – Big Hit from Jim too
SEQUEL : Dumb & Dumberer – Rejected by Jim too ( flopped too and one of the worst movie ever made!)

Then here comes another movie rejected by Jim.

First it was Bruce Almighty. That film was a riot. I love Jim Carrey as Bruce and Steve Carell as Evan too. Who can forget his gibberish newscast in that movie? I had a non-stop guffaw on that one. But here as Evan Almighty?……less fun but an inspirational family movie.

The visual effects are good. I love watching the parade of animals. The flood is just ok. It was stupid actually.

Sad to say I only enjoyed the ark and the animals

Steve Carell is sometimes good and most of the time he is over-acting. His screaming in “The 40-year Old Virgin” was hilarious. No doubt they gave him this project coz that film was a surprise hit. He has numerous “screaming coz I’m in pain” scenes here but I became sick & tired watching him. He ain’t that funny anymore. He also did the famous gibberish blah blah bleh blah blah. Unfortunately, it didn’t work this time. Too bad.

The story is quiet OK. It’s really inspirational if you think about it.
Of course God is involved you know.

Well, a comedy with big budget but low on jokes.

However, I love the soundtrack and the end credits.

I don’t know if you’ll enjoy this one.
I’m still ambivalent if this great or bad.

DISTURBING BURBS


DISTURBIA




This is like watching Desperate Housewives coz of the suburbs setting but minus the wives of course only this time it’s more sinister.

The story of Disturbia revolves around Kale played by Shia LeBeouf (“my newfound idol” of Transformers, Even Stevens and also voiced Cody in Surf’s Up) who was sentenced to three months of house arrest, wearing an ankle monitor. To avoid boredom he must be creative and Kale becomes a voyeur and starts watching his neighbors with binoculars. The movie was inspired from Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. Now I am enthusiastic to see that film.

This film is a subtle thriller. The first half is very interesting. Well, I had so many kilig moments coz Shia is really fascinating. His acting is really strong. You can feel the passion especially his scenes with Carrie Ann Moss( The Matrix) who played here as his mother. The kilig moments I mentioned started when this girl next door he fancied started to mingle with Kale in his “project”. The Crime Solving Project. That girl is hot. Watch out for her!

The movie didn’t have a huge twist coz the suspect was revealed by Kale a bit early palpably. But as the movie moves on to the second half, I was so scared already. I was so groggy and almost covered my eyes to some intense scenes. My heart was palpitating so fast when our protagonist continues to save the night. I really don’t like spoiling you guys just watch it coz it’s worth it.

Shia is really a promising actor.
Director DJ Caruso did great. I remember him as the director of Taking Lives and Smallville Pilot Episode. He knew how to scare our wits.

I just hate the late distribution of this film here in our country. Better late than never.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
