Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan

Saw "Watchmen" this weekend. What an incredible, visually stunning ride! And isn't it interesting how they do it all behind the scene? :)

Slumdog Sweeping Oscar Night

It's a Slumdog year alright! Congratulations to the entire Slumdog team. My favorite movie of the year is bringing home a bunch of Oscars. Much deserved.

Saw this movie with my siblings last Christmas. And we all thought it was soooo good. Considering how diverse our movie preferences are, this is an amazing consensus!



Btw, the image above is from Vanity Fair.

Story of a Sign

HISTORIA DE UN LETRERO (THE STORY OF A SIGN)

My friend sent me a link to this wonderful movie. You'll love it, I promise.

The movie runs about 4+ minutes, but don't forget to put on your head phone if you're at the office with other people around you. I'm such a dork! I did put mine on, but forgot to plug the head phone into the computer. The entire time I was watching the movie, I thought the sound was coming from the head phone. Next thing I knew, office doors were slammed and a colleague ran up to my desk to check if I was out of my mind playing "music" so loudly in my cubicle. Argh!

Ahh ... not to be off-subject, but let's get back to this movie. :)

into the wild

Since today is Friday ... let's feature a movie for movie night!

My pick for this week is Seam Penn's "Into The Wild", recommended by my friend Ngocster. Not sure if it's playing at a theater near you yet, if not and you still want to check it out, Into the Wild, the bookhas been a bestseller for a long time now. The movie itself has also gotten rave reviews.

Btw, I've stumbled upon this fun widget that can feature all my favorite books, movies, DVDs, products, etc. It's scrolling on the right hand side of the page ... see?

Don't you just love widgets?!

We saw the movie last weekend, and it's everything I expected plus more. Definitely a must see. Bring some kleenex though.

3 Great Family Movies All In One Summer

What's summer without a few favorite family movies?!!! But hands down, I like Little Miss Sunshine best! Cars and Ant Bully however are special because my 4-y.o. nephew and I watched them together in two weekends back-to-back! We're both crazy about the movies!

Akeelah and the Bee & the Summer Blockbusters

Once in a while, I'm lucky enough to catch a great movie! This past weekend's find was "Akeelah and the Bee." Wouldn't it be great if Hollywood makes more wonderful family movies like this?! It's a must see!

As to the rest of the movies soon to come, Newsweek predicted this summer's blockbusters to include:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl
2. The Da Vinci Code
3. Superman Returns
4. Little Miss Sunshine
5. An Inconvenient Truth
6. Talladega Nights
7. Brothers of the Head
8. The Devil Wears Prada (chick lit into chick flick!)
9. Nacho Libre
10. Mission: Impossible III
11. Miami Vice
12. The Science of Sleep
13. The Break-Up
14. Monster House
15. Click

So catch them as they arrive if you're as big a movie fan as me! Meanwhile, you have to see Akeelah and the Bee! :O) There is NO other better movie out there right now! :O)

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

The movie is 100x more entertaining than the book! After all ... it has Brad & Angie!

Just Like Heaven

My sister and I are crazy about Mark Ruffalo! He's the new "Prince Charming" in our family!

a lot like love

A Lot Like Love was the reigning movie when we hit LA this week. I love it because Amanda Peet's character is a photographer. Snapped this shot when we were on the hunt for the Hollywood sign photo-op spot. It was an unsuccessful attempt however. All we got out of that was a tummy full of delicious Pink hot dogs.

So welcome friends! This is where my blog starts. I'm brand new to blogging and need to find my way around. So far so good though. Writing this blog and taking pictures are mainly to help make-up for my quickly-fading memory. But I'm not worried about it, not really. Didn't Katherine Hepburn say "Happines is good health and a short memory"? Oh wait, it wasn't Ms. Hepburn. It was Ingrid Bergman. See what I mean?
