Zombies in our midst.

Zombies mutate during Christmas. They come in different forms and sizes.

1. Inaanaks who knocks on your door begging for gifts.

2. Officemates who leave messages on your Facebook wall greeting you Merry Christmas, and hints for gifts.

3. Parents who asks for aginaldo, when in fact, it’s supposed to be the other way around.

4. Taxi drivers. Self explanatory.

5. Scheming street vendors.

6. Drunks.

7. Inattentive waiters and waitresses. Must be tired from influx of customers.

8. Hold-uppers.

9. Friends in vacation break, while you are left in the city due to some effing work.

10. GMA, and politicians in general.

See, we are all zombies. And we live in Zombieland.

Low wattage Woodstock

Ang Lee’s “Taking Woodstock” is not about Woodstock itself. It tells the story of a simple guy who desperately looks for money to save his family’s decrepit motel business–until Woodstock organizers came. Simple film about leading your life, without parental pressure. And oh, that devil-may-care attitude is partly blamed from LSD.

Avatar the great!

It is beautiful, to say the least. Avatar paves the way for notching higher what a good cinematic IMAX experience.

The colors of their skin glistens in the dark, and will be appreciated more if you watch it in 3D or Imax 3D.

Go see it. Now!

Smoke gets in your eyes

Watching The Hurt Locker is painful to the eyes. Its full of dust, a symbolic homage to a country still reeling from its unclear future.

National Board of Review 10 Films of 2009

Best Picture: Up In The Air

10 Films:

AN EDUCATION, (500) DAYS OF SUMMER, THE HURT LOCKER, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, INVICTUS, THE MESSENGER, A SERIOUS MAN, STAR TREK, UP, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE.

Blood as antipasti.

Ninja Assassins has poor storyline. But you don’t mind that because you look for blood, and mutilation, and cold revenge.

At least it’s not cheesy. And oh, someone did save some books.

2012, the apocalytpic movie by Roland Emmerich is an engaging, creepy roller coaster 2 hour ride at the cinema. Before I watch it, I have hesitations because it might be that the story sucks, knowing that previous Armageddon-type movies have poor story line.

Apparently not. Because of this guy’s role in the movie–he who saves books–I can forgive the movie’s flaws. At least, someone did think of saving books!

What happen, basterds?

Inglourious Basterds is suppose to be shown in Manila cinemas by Nov 04, 2009. That’s what the billboards say.

Alas, its Nov 08 already and no Basterds is shown! What happen?

AntiChrist.

From the site reads, “A grieving couple retreat to ’Eden’, their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse… “

From the new movie ANTICHRIST, by Lars von Trier.
