Movie Review: Zombadings: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington

Okay, I'm regaining hope for Philippine cinema or at least yung mga recent films na napanuod/nababalitaan ko. After the wonderful Babae sa Septic Tank last month (?) or so, here's another indie/Cinemalaya film making its way to our mainstream cinemas: Zombadings: Patayin sa Shokot si Remington.

Even the poster's awesome (via)

Para sa tamad na nagbabasa ng front page lang (kung meron man), I recommend this film. Go watch and support it!

Light Duct Tapes!

I know hindi ko inabutan ang original Tron film back in the early 80's but napanood ko naman sya just to see what they were all excited about when Tron: Legacy was released last year. Well, the original turns out to be a sort-of Matrix type kind of film with all the computers and all the digital effects the 80's had to offer that time. Awesome graphics and spaceships and computer battles Blocks and pixels. So seeing this duct tape ad made me smile dahil they went for the old film's light cycle scene.

1000++ internets to the ones who conceptualized this advertisement. And a slight deduction for the awkwardness of Tron Guy and his wife sister. What? Anong stereotyping? Judgmental? ME? Well screw you *goes to garage with a pole SCH-IIIIING! PEW PEW PEW!

Movie Review: The Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Good Lord that's one long ass movie title. Ano yan tongue twister? And writing this review took me what? Two weeks? I know I'm starting to lose focus once more but hell, I rarely watch t.v. these days and rarely go online. So now on with the movie...

When this was announced, I wasn't particularly excited with the concept. I mean, really? A movie where almost all of us knows the ending? It's practically written in the title so you know what to expect. The Rise of the Planet of the Apes. And the tagline states: Evolution becomes Revolution. Basic math na lang yan and context clues, ohhh me know math!! hooh hooh haah haah! me likey.


Was I surprised when I watched this film and found myself engaged in one of the best movies so far this year.

Movie Review: Ang Babae sa Septic Tank

Well this took a while. Sorry.

Something worthwhile (got this via)

So you've lost hope in Philippine Cinema? Getting tired of the same old formulas that the mainstream studios come up with? Don't worry hindi lang ikaw ang nakaka-experience nyan, and once you watch a film as brilliantly funny and entertaining as Ang Babae sa Septic Tank, you'll realize as well: "Sa wakas may bagong klase ng pelikulang mapapanuod ang nakakaraming Pilipino."

Usapang Sabaw: Brief o Bangs

So, earlier this week, Warner Bros. released an official photograph for their upcoming movie on 2013: Man of Steel. In the released photograph, you can clearly see Superman breaking into a vault or some heavy-steel-door something.

He looks serious. (via)

As you can clearly see, Superman's rocking what appears to be a new hairstyle without the traditional curly bangs and a new darker suit, but what we can't see is if he's wearing any underwear on his costume due to the apparent darkness of his crotch. Now this I hope will be a start on a segment here where we ask questions you could ask your friends kapag nag-iinuman kayo: What's more important to get the trademark Superman look? His Bangs or his Briefs?

Ah! Just in time for the new film!

If you're a normal person not living in a cave (except Bruce of course), chances are you've seen the trailer for the new Spiderman film coming out next year, a reboot of a film series we kinda grew up with. Well, to coincide with the promotions that they're doing for the film (trailer, comic-con surprises, Andrew Garfield in the Social Network) and the passing of the suit from Tobey to Andrew, Marvel showed the world the new Spiderman in their Ultimate universe. Spoilers ahead if you're updated in the comics and stuff.

Sooo in line with the movie. (via)

Why Jollibee?! Why?!?!

Back in elementary (or was it in kinder?) there was one delicacy that I always craved for whenever we visit a Jollibee store. You know, the mouth-watering-I-want-more-of-this-stuff-I-don't-care-if-I-had-3-already-and-our-family-line-has-diabetes, kind of craving. No? You have no idea? Chickenjoys? screw your chickenjoys! No not that one, I'm not talking about this:

HEAVEN!!!! (via)

Let's hit it!

Okay, I've been away for eternity but since I've got nothing else to do, why don't we get a fresh start? You, know a reset button won't hurt anyone. So how about it? Game na ulit. Imma stick with you blogger, kahit na uso na ang tumblr and other means of posting. Let's do this!

So today while doing stuff...

I suddenly missed certain types of songs or music that I really liked back in highschool. Or was it elementary pa? Not sure. Let's just say that it brought back memories, and you know, I started thinking: "What the hell happened with these kinds of sounds?"

Well it kinda disappeared. I mean locally, here in the Philippines. Na-dominate na tayo ng pop songs, emo bands, pogi rock, Sarah Geronimo and the likes.

Or a combination of all of those.

So what kind of music am I talking about? Plug your ears, bring your rosaries (you know what they say about it), and keep your moms away from the computer. Read on.

Movie Review: The Town

Before it gets drowned by the critically acclaimed The Social Network and the sequel to last year's Paranormal Activity, ummm Paranormal Activity 2, I'd like to write a review for this little known film (well konti lang yata ang nakapanuod nito, di ko napansin sa Facebook wall updates ko) called The Town.

Di ko to pinalagpas because c'mon, how uncommon are these types of movies these days?

OMFG.

Well I need to make an update every time I find something interesting or I find the time to, you know, write and stuff, but for this one, i'll keep it relatively short since I'm really just excited.

Para sa mga hindi nakakaalam, I've written a few posts about this new American television series called The Walking Dead. To keep this short, the said series premiered last October 31, 2010 (Thanks for the info Francis) and it's about a cop, a few survivors of an epidemic or outbreak. And there are zombies. Yep. Zombies. On a weekly basis. Man how exciting huh?

No reviews for now. Still waiting for the episode to load. Fanboy-ish much? I'm hoping na maging maayos ang translation from the comics to television. Maybe this one will be my new Lost? Hope so.

WHAT---

THE HELL.

Habang nanunuod ako ng t.v. sa tabi-tabi, (pagpasensyahan nyo na sa mga Kapuso, madalas ABS-CBN nakatutok yung mga napapanuoran ko) napansin ko lang na may bagong palabas ang Channel 2. It's fresh! It's NEW! Iiiiiittttt's.....

Mara Clara kung hindi mo gets.

WOW. Fairly recently ko lang nasabi na ang gaganda ngayon ng shows ng Channel 2. Well I'm being honest here. Honestly. Just look at my post about Imortal and see ABS-CBN's line up.

Ngayon, di ko talaga alam ang sa GMA-7. Survivor and Godzilla lang yung alam kong palabas dun so sorry talaga GMA-7 fans. As for TV5. Eeeew, masyadong hindi original ang mga shows nila.

What? What're you saying about running out of ideas? No way in hell. NO. Kung nagkakaubusan sila ng ideas ngayon para sa palabas, umm, bakit. ummm...

I'd say around 8 years bago nila mahanap yung diary. For a change. Papatandain pa nila yung mga bata para magkaroon ng love teams.

Just a reminder to everyone.

That laptops should never be placed on your laps.

DON'T

I know. It's pretty contradicting. But trust me on this one. Or, you know, this study that recently came up on one of the websites that I frequently visit, if you don't believe me.

Seriously?

Here's an image I wanted to share with you...

Read that again.

Now before you barrage me with hate messages or condemn me to whatever places you'd like, let me share with you yung mga nangyayari that made me agree to that statement above.

ABS-CBN's new show: Imortal

Well, kakatapos lang ng pilot episode ng new series ng ABS-CBN called Imortal. It's a show about vampires and werewolves roaming our society. Or ayun ang pagkakaintindi ko. I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention to the story of the show because seriously, nothing happens in these first episodes story-wise.

But what really caught me was the show's premise...

OMG. This is epic.

Well, before the other trending stuff...

Seriously, I wanna write something about the current events. There are lots of stuff happening out there. Buuuut. As usual, I'll post something fairly interesting first. And something very educational.

Yes. Some guys finally made an infographic that shows how massive the porn industry is.

We're back! And guess what?

I've been away for like a week or two. Sorry bout that. But guess what?! It's FREAKING OCTOBER! or Oktober. Depende sa type mo. But still, every male human being (even females!) in our planet knows what this particular month means. It's a time for saying graces, meditation, relaxation, and praying to our beloved Saint...

The Patron Saint of Awesome

What?! You don't know him? That's Saint Michael.

Talk about free time. and creativity.

Well, just a few days ago, I posted something about Mario's 25th birthday and another involving a live-action Pacman video. Continuing from that trend, I came across this pretty old video na talaga namang panalo (WIN!).

This video is about Mario running around a campus or some kind of facility. The level design is simple but still very good. I mean the environment is cleverly incorporated in the design. Now just watch...

Now I know I have some spare time with this blog and stuff but I don't have this amount of free time. How long did that take? Still, I applaud the people who did this for the fun and dose of nostalgia that the video gave me. Clap clap!

John Lloyd is THE Man!!!

John Lloyd Cruz.

There's no denying he's the epitome of a "Tunay na Lalake." A "Real Man," for those who can't understand Filipino.

This guy!

Because of him, the phrase "Trabaho lang" was once again popular within the male community. Like everything he does is not for his family or anyone else. Just work. No personal feelings. Whatsoever.

And with the recent rumors surrounding him, man, talk about solidifying his status. Or hardening.

I know we're a little bit behind on the news here because this came to the public's attention like last week pa, forgive us for the delay in news. Di kaagad kami nakahugot ng magandang masusulat eh. Sorry. Well read on

Just WOW.

Dapat matutulog na ako eh but man this is amazing that it deserves its own post. You know Pacman right? You know that guy?

Not Manny Pacquiao. Pacman as in the videogame character.

Well there's a video in Youtube showing a whole bunch of dudes re-enacting a Pacman game via stop motion animation. AND IT IS EXTREMELY AWESOME AND AMAZING!


And yep, there's a tone of nostalgia in my recent posts. Feel it?
