"I am just a Tourist" (*spoiler free*)

I've been waiting for this movie since December. Finally, its screening opened today! Of course, I watched it.

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in one scene at their Hotel  room in Venice. 

How much lovely Paris and Venice can be if you will see the most elegant gorgeous woman walking on its street, Angelina Jolie. I love the first several scenes where the camera just follows Angelina while walking, her stance, her stare, her elegant gestures and I should say, her EYES & LIPS. Then, you will have the impression that this movie is more of like a game, a cat and dog chasing the cheese of a mouse between Angelina Jolie who plays Elise, Johnny Depp who plays (I would rather not disclose this *SPOILER*) and the cops. 

It is not much like of an action-suspense-romance film but it's more of like that, somehow. LOL Story starts with Angelina being chased by the police because she's the only contact person of this man who stole lotsa lotsa money. Angelina receives these letters giving her instructions where to go and how to mislead the cops. (You gotta watch it how Angelina plays like this effortlessly.)

Over-all, the movie got lots of twists in the story and how it was twisted is the BEST. Do not expect some huge explosion and car bombings and all because again this is NOT an action film. The only thing that will keep you watching it is when you keep on asking yourself "Who the hell is Alexander Pierce?" "Who the hell sends the letter?" "Oh, that might be him..." and all those cliff-hanging ideas or assumptions in your mind. There's no BED scene too because this is NOT Angelina Jolie's "Original Sin" movie. No, she did not show her butt. 

About Johnny and Angie's chemistry, I must admit they lack on that corner. Although Johnny and Angie are at no doubt very brilliant actors that they can portray any role, there is still something missing between the two of them when they're in one scene. 

Above all, the end part was awesomely the best. I have not thought that it would end like that. And, I'm sure if you will think about the end part deeply, you'll know what the real message of the movie is all about. 

Yes I did and I believe in that. 

*hugs Angelina's wax figure* LOL

Almost forgot

Oh! I almost forgot that I got a blogspot account. Well, I've been updating my wordpress account much often than here since I got a Wordpress app on my Blackberry. I just hope Blogspot or Blogger will develop a mobile app of course first for Blackbbery.

Whitney Houston is Back, Finally! Her 1st appearance in 2009!

Our beloved "The Voice" received a standing ovation when she made a surprise appearance at the BET Honors Awards ceremony last January 17, 2009, held at the warner theater in DC. This was an annual ceremony that honors and pay tributes to the lives and accomplishments of "African American Luminaries".
This event was hosted by Gabrielle Union honored like Mary J. Blige, Tyler Perry, Magic Johnson, and Congressman James E. Clyburn. Anita Baker gave the audience an emotional performance of "One" and "Caught up in the Rapture" while singer Monica sang "Not Gon Cry" to pay tribute to Mary J. Blige.

Whitney Houston took the stage to honor Tyler Perry with his award. She looked fabulous in her black/off white evening dress, she really maintained her true diva status.

According to the "New York Post" Whitney Houston was announced to perform at Clive Davis' "Pre-Grammy Party" on February 09, 2009 and was said to sing her 1st single from her newest album since 2002. The only female singer who holds the record of 7 consecutive number one hits will be launching her 1st album in 7 years, hopefully this March. It is said that it was supposed to be released last November 2008, but due to lack of marketing and promotional stuff they postponed it and set to release on the 1st quarter of this year.

Whitney Houston is truly a living legend in the Music Industry, she is indeed one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, and to see her being this gorgeous and stunning is really a great big thing for her million fans.

You don't care for our emotions.

Alan Horn issues statement regarding HBP delay
Alan Horn, President of Warner Brothers, has issued a statement in response to the large amount of disappointment from their decision to delay Half-Blood Prince until July 17th, 2009:

Many of you have written to me to express your disappointment in our moving “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” to Summer 2009. Please be assured that we share your love for Harry Potter and would certainly never do anything to hurt any of the films. Over the past 10 years, we have nurtured and protected each film, and the integrity of the books upon which they are based, to the best of our ability. The decision to move “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” was not taken lightly, and was never intended to upset our Harry Potter fans. We know you have built this series into what it is, and we thank you for your ongoing enthusiasm and support. If I may offer a silver lining: there would have been a two-year gap between “Half-Blood Prince” and the much-anticipated first part of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” which opens in November 2010. So although we have to wait a little longer for “Half-Blood Prince,” the wait from that film until “Deathly Hallows” will be less than 18 months. I am sorry to have disappointed you now, but if you hold on a little longer, I believe it will be worth the wait.



:: Whatever you say, it's nothing. One thing is true. Your main reason to move the showing date is a marketing agenda. This is how business works. You're businessmen, you only care for the money not for your customers. You don't care for our meotions. ::

Being a Fan really Hurts if you expect too much...

At first I didn't want to believe the rumors that the showing of our(HP Fanatics) most anticipated movie this year was moved on July 17, 2009. Because we've been waiting since last year to finally watch the latest movie installment of our most loved Book Series, the Harry Potter Series.

To confirm this rumor, I visited the Official Harry Potter website which is www.harrypotter.com , and eventhough it's still says on the trailer "november" it's undoubtedly true that it will be shown in theaters July 17, 2009 worldwide.
This report was of course true, it totally dissapointed me, and I'm sure millions of HP fans worldwide, and I'm also sure that HP fans started reading again the 6th book for us to refresh our minds about the story of the Half-blood Prince. And, of course, I was a bit skeptical of what I've seen on the official website, so I visieted and checked other online reports about this matter.
According to Reuters, Warner Bros. the film production company who owned the rights of the series, said thet the reason why it was moved is because of the 3-month screenwriter strike in Hollywood has "impacted the readiness of scripts for other films, and they also said that they(WB) belive that summer is the best showing date of the film for the whole family. Warner Bros. added that this will not take any effect or alter any production plans for the final, two-part Harry Potter Movie which is the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which was first said to be shown on November 2010.

Well, as for me, as I have said, I was totally dissapointed and this given me a bit of frustration, I don't know if this is just an effect of being an HP fan or was I just too excited. As for Warner Bros. saying that they think summer is the best season for the hwole family to watch the film. My answer to them is, whenever you put the showing date of any Harry Potter film, it will still hit the Box Office, this is proven. As you can remember the past HP films was shown either summer season or early Chrismas season, but still it makes money. Because we fans are here whenever or wherever Harry will be.

This changing of show dates also broke the traditional showing of HP films, as you can remember, the year Nov 2001 was the Sorcerer's Stone, Nov 2002 (Chamber of Secrets), and they skipped the year 2003. Prisoner of Azkaban was shown last June 2004, followed by the Goblet of Fire last Nov 2005. And then, we waited more than a year (skipped year 2006) just to watch the Order of the Phoenix that was shown last July 2007. As you can see, Warner Bros. they should follow the trend, we, fans should only wait one whole year before they will release the 6th film. Which is completely correct on their first press release that they will release the 6th film November 2008, and skipped again more than a year (2009) to wait for the showing of the 7th film that was said to be released on 2010 (part1) and on 2011 (part2). Actually, this was our second dissapointment with Warner Bros. when they first announced that they will split the 7th film into two because they know that it will generate much more million dollars (honestly).
Eventually, of course, there's nothing we can do about it, so we just accpted it the way it is, and now, for the second time, there's nothing we can do, than just to wait and wait and wait, while them, also waiting for our money to be on their pockets. It's just really frustrating that they don't understand our feelings, we understand that they are really making the Film so good that it's really worth a money to watch, but the thing is, our expectaitons on seeing the film this november was totally wasted. They don't understand how it feels to expect so much and in the end, you feeling deceived.
Again, there’s nothing we can definitely to about this, I just hope that thy will still follow that the part1 of the 7th film will be shown on 2010.
I will still read the book for the 3rd time early next year. I’m still excited though.

Home - Daughtry

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey (Lyrics)

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
It's something more than saying "I miss you"
But when we talked too
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face

[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
"I wish I could find a way try not to cry"
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'll give the whole world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
It feels like you gone too soon
The hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye

And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
That you can make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

[Chorus]

(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandfather
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye

[Chorus]

:: Mama Mia :: (Full-length Trailer) Opens July 18, 2008

:: I can't wait to watch! ::

Swedish songsters ABBA inspire a musical feast that's both sweet and surprisingly spicy. Sophie Sheridan is about to be married to her true love, Sky, but has no father to give her away. What's a bride to do but go poking through Mom's past for answers? In the pages of an old diary she finds a shocking secret: any of three men could be her father. She sends a letter to each one, hoping to discover who has the right to escort her down the aisle... and throwing a big fat Greek monkey wrench into Mom's life.


:: Reasons to Watch ::

1. The legendary, luminous Meryl Streep scores points for 50+ women everywhere by stealing the show from her equally gorgeous onscreen daughter (Amanda Seyfried of Mean Girls).
2. Fans of the stage show may have thought there was no way to improve on it, but the Greek scenery (including Pelion and Skopelos) provides a breathtaking backdrop for the tale.
3. This is the type of musical where you go into the theater humming the songs. So grab your friends and go prove to the world that disco never died. Bet You Didn't Know

:: What You Didn't Know? ::
The region of Mt. Pelion, where parts of this movie were filmed, has also been graced by another legendary wedding. Tradition names it as the site of the marriage of Thetis and Peleus, parents of the mythical hero Achilles.
