The Da Vinci Code [2006]

It's not surprising that I've come to love, not only the book, but the movie as well. Apparently, The Da Vinci Code is fiction, or so they say. But many people have come to conclude that most of the 'facts' weren't as factual as we were expected to believe. But to believe that there is a big mystery to our whole existence feels baffling... somehow.

The so-called malicious attack on Jesus Christ and the Church is, for me, unbelievably false. I mean, if I were a faithful Christian and believed in the utmost verity of the facts presented to me by the bible, then my unwavering faith would do me justice and not care about the book (which is presented to masses as fiction). The supposed cover-up, if it weren't true in the first place, what is there to cover-up? Oh god, (pardon the pun), but the Da Vinci Code was wonderfully written and one of the best stories ever written.

The movie, on the other hand, was wonderfully written and it brought to life, the characters and the symbols purported by the brilliant author. What's interesting is the vivid portrayal of the silas and the gruesome self-torture that he applied on himself.

Why is the church attempting to cover-up the story/book/movie?

It claimed that Jesus Christ had a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene, the professed adulterer of the bible stories. The basis of the Christian faith was derived from Constantine, pagan rituals and such. The revered mother of the Church should have been Mary Magdalene despite her immoral image (in the Bible Stories) and finally because if everything stated above was true, then paganism, witchcraft, and other insignificant beliefs are more realistic than Christianism itself.

Test your faith. Take a time off and read the book or watch the movie. :)

Memoirs of a Geisha [2005]

Watched this on January 23, 2011.

This movie made me more in love with the Japanese culture. It made me appreciate the beauty and worth of a person.

My favorite parts of the movie contain the next lines:

1. "We do not become geisha to pursue our own destiny, we become geisha because we have no choice."

2. "Can't you see? Every step I have taken, since I was that girl on the bridge, has been to bring myself closer to you."

One of the best movies, ever. Just because the story is heartwarming and it's not melodramatic. It gives people like me, great insight to the lives of the private lives of the Geishas. Although the book was fiction, the story was realistic and insightful.

What i loved more about the movie was the accent of the characters. It gave depth of character (at least for me). The movie was detailed to the littlest details. The geisha make-up was realistic, i assume they were real geisha make-up. Sayuri's progress to becoming geisha was enthralling. It goes to show that Japanese culture take entertainment seriously. From food to people, art plays a big role in the culture.

That's why i love JAPAN! ^_^

The Fat Kid Inside

The Fat Kid Inside.

Erwan Heusaff is my hot and sexy. LOL. He's totally the boy of my dreams, incarnate. He cooks and he's got that preppy look that i love! Oh Erwan, i wanna love you.

Lots of love. xoxo.

Lion King:Hakuna Matata [2005]

After i watched Lion King 2, i was hooked. I've always loved the classics, especially the ones with morales, good humor and characters that i love. It was utterly beautiful, and i don't regret staying up late for this movie.

The soundtrack for this film is 10 over 5! I love Disney music, it always brings out the kid in me. (there's nothing wrong with that, i'm sure!) If you haven't seen this film, WATCH IT! It's hilarious, light, bubbly, entertaining and just full of laughs!

Grazing in the Grass was sung by Raven Symone. This song was played throughout the credits, and this song is FTW! Her voice is simply amazing and what i wouldn't give for a voice like hers. Take a time off and listen, it's totally worth the 3 minutes.

Simba's Pride: Lion King 2 [1998]

January 22, 2011 (finished the same day with Not Another Teen Movie and Dexter)

Disney movies always affect me in many ways, one of them is that it always makes me believe in love. I always get attached and tend to always find myself singing their meaningful songs. What's amazing is that, every time I sing myself a Disney soundtrack, in that moment, I believe in love and all it's senseless sacrifice.

Lion King was definitely one of my most favorite classic Disney films. I remember having a big crush on Simba, and when I grew up, I fell in love with Matthew Broderick, after my research, I found out that Matthew Broderick was Simba's voice actor! ahh.. love. Since I grew up and Simba became a father, I diverted my attention to a much younger prey. In Lion King 2, I find myself crushing on Kovu! This is crazy, I get crushes on every talking creature that catches my fancy. haha :)

Let's listen to my most favorite song in Lion King 2. "Love Will Find A Way."

Epic song. Epic movie. 10 stars.

In a perfect world
One we've never known
We would never need to face the world alone

They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart

I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me

Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

I was so afraid
Now I realize
Love is never wrong
And so it never dies

There's a perfect world
Shining in your eyes

And if only they could feel it too
The happiness I feel with you

They'd know
Love will find a way
Anywhere we go
We're home
If we are there together

Like dark turning into day
Somehow we'll come through
Now that I've found you
Love will find a way

I know love will find a way

Not Another Teen Movie [2001]

One of the movies that really doesn't have any morals but genuinely funny. I wasn't a big fan of the casting, but Chris Evans was intensely hot. He was my favorite character and honestly speaking, I only watched the movie because Chris Evans was part of the cast! 

I will rate the movie a 4 out of 5 stars. It was entertaining, and good as a starter for movie marathons. This movie was actually a compilation of movies they spoofed, I've watched a lot of movies, but i wan't totally familiar with every one of them. Still, I enjoyed the movie just fine. :)

P.S. If you don't mind sexual humor with your parents, then i guess it's safe for family movie-marathons. :)

Dexter Season 1 to 4

This is one of my most favorite series. I love the concept. A mass murder that pretends to live a normal life with a beautiful wife, amazing kids, and a nerdy job. I was hooked! I couldn't stop watching and now i'm hanging by a thread, i'm currently breezing through the net, looking for season 5, but i just have to keep my eyes in my sockets. I need the complete season, it'd be soooo frustrating if i didn't finish a season! 

Michael Hall (Dexter), physically, he's my type, but gosh. Every episode, i try to fall in love with him, but there's just no connection between us! I usually fall in love with a certain actor after a movie, an episode or something, but gosh, Michael Hall didn't impress me much.

The Perfect Trip. The Perfect Trap.

The Tourist [2010]. January 21, 2011.

I expected a lot of action, since i wasnt able to see the trailer before I watched it. I had loved the movie even before I saw it. I loved the major twist of the movie but the whole film was quite dragging. There wasn't much action, and it sure wasn't the usual Jolie spy film that gets you on the edge. The only thing that kept me glued to the screen was Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Her accent was amazing and i was wishing, the whole time, that Johnny Depp would do an English accent, in the end, he did. for less than a minute! God. Hahaha.

Waiting Outside the Lines (Greyson Chance)

One of the best songs of January 2011. Well, I think it was release in 2011 (haha). For a change, Greyson Chance is one of the young artists that have powerfully good vocals. He sings from his soul, at least it sounds that way and btw, he's got RAW talent. He may look gay, but he's just really young. (oh gosh, let's hope he's not.) Take your time watching this video. ^_^

For love, for TROY.

Can you imagine muscle-bound men with epic faces like Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and Orlando Bloom. The sexy British accent, Grecian royalty and immense passion. Brad Pitt was Achilles in this bipoic film and he was gorgeous. It was a really long film but every minute was well worth it. The cinematics were great, the costume design was realistic and the talents were talented indeed. 

I realized that Brad Pitt is one of the sexiest men in the world. Eric Bana is the perfect kind of furry and Orlando Bloom is the ideal little brother, given that he was the cute facade that just makes you want to have him around every time. What is it with men with British accents? Gosh. It's always a turn on.

On a scale of 1 to 5, TROY is a 5. If you want to learn a lot, historically, mythically, or however, Troy is great film. A must-watch if you want to know more about Trojan Royalty, love, passion and about the Face that launched a thousand ships. Woah. Nerd mode.

Flesh seduces. Passion kills. Feed your BASIC INSTINCT.

My first Sharon Stone film was Sliver, and this was just as sexy. It's pretty interesting but the mystery was solved 5 minutes into the film and in the last few minutes they get you all confused and make you think you were right the first time.

The story goes deeper than a serial killer on the loose, it's about knowing who to trust and when to fall prey to sexy vixens like Sharon Stone. Gosh, Ms. Stone has great movie roles.

I therefore conclude Sharon Stone is the Queen of erotica films. haha. Btw, Michael Douglas is a very versatile actor, he looks good in a suit. Gosh, here I go again, drooling over older men. haha.

There is no turning back. Welcome to SILENT HILL.

One of the most twisting and riveting thriller that I've ever seen. I was baffled by whole experience. I couldn't have found a much better thriller to watch with my dear friend, B. haha. The concept was cliche but not entirely, one would assume that it was a zombie thriller but it's really not. I concluded the movie to have been a psycho-thriller. The drama was consistent throughout the film, and I was actually left literally slack-jawed when it ended. Claiming that I've noticed it all along. It was a stunner and undeniably an excellent film.

To game enthusiasts, however, i'm not quite sure if it's a good game interpretation, but from what i've heard, This movie was approved by Konami, so i'm assuming it's good enough. 

Hey, I like it! Keep an open mind when watching this film. It actually makes you think.

Signs

Signs, another sci-fi thriller that correlates faith and the extraterrestrial. I don't like the movie. I expected more from M. Night Shyamalan (The Last Airbender, The Sixth Sense, etc.).

Mel Gibson was exceedingly transparent in his role of being a pastor raising his two children after losing his wife, exceptionally funny in a few parts. Joaquin Phoenix was stunningly cute and i loved his role. His good, bad-boy image was very familiar, it seemed like i was watching Ed Westwick in ruffler clothes and in a meaner stature. I kept believing that McCaulay Culkin (Richie Rich) was in the film, his brother, Rory Culkin, has the same cherry red lips that trademarked M. Culkin! Abigail Breslin was very young in this film, which signifies her immense talent in acting. At a very young age she was able to send out a perfectly different character. Another great potential to the pool of talents that would soon fill the screens. Let's hope she doesn't become another Lohan.

My First Full-Length 3D Movie

Cheers to my first full-length 3D movie. Surprisingly, my first 3D experience wasn't that mind-blowing. My glasses were relentlessly askew and i had to put the 3D shades over my glasses again and again, else, i wouldn't be able to see anything but hazy shades that i can never make out.

SM shaker seats, don't shake, FYI. Out of 10, i'd rate my first time a 6. The movie was funny, witty, entertaining and 3D but it just wasn't something i'd watch again and again. My mom had a blast though, i think it was her first time too. Mydear, on the other hand, fell asleep (for a minute or two, i kept nudging him awake.) haha.

Jack Black=Genius. haha. Emily Blunt (Michael Buble's wife) was awkwardly great in this movie. Her British accent seemed fake, which made it even more funny (because she is really British!) haha. Jason Segel, (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) was dim-wittingly funny!

The movie was amazing but it's 3D-ness wasn't a wowser. I hope my next 3D film is a blockbuster. P250 is too much for a movie and free popcorn. (i'm such a twat!)

Happy Birthday Mydear. :) I love you and mama.

45th Year of Wilann Blue

It's January 16, 2011 and it's my dad's (mydear's) birthday.

The whole day was spent in family bonding time.

• We went to church.
• Breakfast at McDonald's (rap: black coffee, mama: McMuffin, mydear: big breakfast and coffee)
• SM (The Body Shop)
• Limketkai (Shabu-Shabu for lunch)
• Went home to feed Jakko and Doobie
• Went back to SM for Gulliver's Travel
• Had dinner at Tita Fannies
• Watched 2210: The Collapse with Mydear

Nothing extraordinary about the day, but it sure felt great. I love my family, and i can't imagine being away from them for more than a month. Gosh.

Mydear, happy birthday. I'm lucky to have you as my dad and there's no one else better fit for the job of being my friend, mentor, father, brother and role model. You're the best and i love having you by my side. I love you and mama so much.

White Collar Fever

I'm on my last episode of the not-so famous TV series, White Collar. Just last night, I discovered that Matt Bomer, the guy who plays the suave con artist who works as a consultant in the FBI, is gay. Yes, it’s terrible news. I’m quite befuddled and I feel betrayed by the network. I believe it’s a sin when they parade good-looking men on TV and not inform the public that that debonair and flawless physique is not for women? Gosh. I even Googled Matt Bomer and found a picture of him kissing a guy, torridly. Overall, I loved the series and I’m definitely waiting for White Collar, Season 2 to come out in torrent. For now, Dexter, Season 3 is on my list.

Hmmm... on second thought, let me suppress the memory of ever finding out that Mr. Perfect Bomer is of the third sex. If, for one second, I falter in my decision, I shall remind myself that perfect skin, blue eyes, newly razored facial hair, and god-like physique, is worth drooling over. So there.

xoxo ♥ lots of love.

Electric Body Shots

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist [2008] by Peter Sollett.

This 2008 film was something with a contemporary gist which i totally loved. It gave new meaning to the modern flair of falling in love. The choice of cast was wonderful. Michael Cera played Nick beautifully which everyone expects to be 'au naturel'. He's perfectly awkward. His virginal ways makes him completely lovable. Every scene that intensifies their blooming relationship would give everyone such nice, warm kind of thrill.

The original soundtrack for the movie was brilliant. it fit the whole Nick and Norah mood. It wasn't the melodramatic kind, nor was it the sappy kind, it was just right. The whole ensemble created this reachable, clear-cut vindication for their totally innocent fun rendezvous.

The plot wasn't predictable and the whole concept was certainly a healthy kind of movie dosage. one that doesn't dull your brain, and one that doesn't fry it up with too much information. the wit and message was just right.

Just like electric body shots.

P.S. I just think the blog title is the shiz. it's actually my fault, i misread Norah's Dad's studio named ELECTRIC LADY STUDIOS. i typed it as ELECTRIC BODY SHOTS. can you blame me? gosh. i'm pathetic. haha

xoxo. ♥ lots of love.
