13. 4 o'clock || Photo Challenge

I couldn't find my original photo so I decided to post this instead. wWe went to watch Pacific Rim this weekend and it was pretty good. Wayy better than after earth. I need to do my movie date post. We got home at 4am. So that is my 4 o'clock theme :P Have you seen Pacific Rim yet?

Movie Date: The Croods

It has been awhile since I posted a post about movies. Not that I have not been watching any, some of them were just meh in my opinion. For instance I have seen The Croods around when they came out but I didn't think I would like the 'caveman' story. It just reminded me of that movie with Jack Black... I can't remember the name of it but yeah, it didn't look really interesting. So then someone told me that The Croods was awesome. Well it took me this long to watch it. And I tell you what, it is awesome!! I mean it doesn't take a lot for me to love animation so...I love this!!! Not as much as Finding Nemo or Despicable me but I like it enough to say I laugh (a lot!) and I felt sad...I didn't cry though. It was just awesome.

In my book I would probably watch it again :D (it is high up there on the list of my must watch!).

I love Douglas and Belt (tan tan taaaa) and the big cat!! Ok I think he is suppose to be like a sabertooth or something but he is so cute!!





If you like carefree movies and love to watch it with the family this is it! I think the little ones will love this, I mean I am not little and I still love this! If you are looking for something complicated this might not be it but you could still watch it and see if you like it. :D I didn't know who was the actors behind the characters but as I watch the credits towards the end of the movie surprise, surprise. Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds and Nicholas Cage are the voices behind the main characters. Score!

In my opinion this is an awesome lazy weekend movie. Definitely would watch this again with my man...I think he would enjoy it. :D Lazy weekend for me peeps!!

Playlist Friday: Grease - You're the one that I want

I almost forgot to post this, hence the late post!! You probably hear this all the time but OMG! it is Friday again!!

I started watching Glee again (I fell in and out of love with Glee) and the last episode I saw was their Grease episode. Ever since I saw that episode this song just keep playing on and on in my head. Seriously I have never had a song that's so stuck in my head like this one!

First of all I love Grease. :D I think I watched that a couple times all in a course of 4 days. Haha...when I was interning, my friends couldn't stand it. They say I lived in the wrong era. :P I literally watched Grease during my break and had their songs on all the time. Then it died down. Now it is Glee's fault that I have to watch that movie Grease again!! I am pretty sure no one wants to watch it with me. It is kinda corny :P. Maybe next time I can ask CLK to watch it with me HAHA.

I got chills,

They're multiplyin'

And I'm losin' control

'cause the power

you're supplyin'

It's electrifyin'!

Those words keeps repeating in my head...haha. I hope you're having a wonderful Friday and weekend!! Do you have any special plans this weekend?? I am going to watch football (soccer) with my uncle and hope my team wins!! :D

Movie Date: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I love this movie!

source

My normal movie date got married last November so I had to find someone else to go to the movies with me. We changed dates a couple time but finally got to watch the movie. I was skeptical because some people didn't like the movie and some loved it. I was assuming that people didn't like the movie because they have not watched LOTR but then again I might be wrong.

The movie didn't seem so long but it was 169 minutes that's almost 3 hours and it flew by fast. I didn't think I would get to see Frodo or Gollum but they were in it briefly. I think the movie is pretty awesome...and I thought they were gonna show how the ring was made but they didn't. It just revealed how Bilbo got the ring.

And Saruman...I can't stand to see him in it because you know, he turned evil in LOTR. It was just weird to see him being nice and all. XD I absolutely love the dwarfs! They reminds me of the 7 dwarfs from Snow White but their names are much more cooler, and it could turn into a tongue twister. I think their story was pretty awesome...and I was hoping to see Legolas in the first movie too. I am pretty sure he will turn up soon.




For the longest time I was stalking YouTube for the trailer for this movie and when it was out I couldn't stop watching. :D I remember watching LOTR with friends and queuing up at the movies for so long because the tickets were sold out. We had to resort to plan B. I don't know if others did what we did but it was effective and pretty funny. :P

I remember it was a school night and we wanted to watch the movie the second week it was out but it was all sold out, we went twice and was disappointed. The day we went there was this very long line outside the ticket counter and my friends didn't want to wait any longer so he called the counter to book tickets for the next show, from the line. Let's just say we got our tickets 5 minutes later and everyone in front of eyes gave us daggers eyes. LOL. Even though we did get the tickets in time for the movie to start it was a full house and we had to sit like in the 5th row and it wasn't the best seat in the house but at least we got to watch the movie. And when we got out we found out one of our classmate bought tickets the day before and he was alone, and had good seats!! Should've asked him to buy tickets for us. I will never forget that movie and how awesome it was and I shared it with awesome friends.

It was sad too since I only went to watch this movie with one friend, and there was only 4 of us watching the movie. I think it was out for almost a month and they had a show every 4 hours or so and there was 3 places that was showing it I suppose I can understand why there wasn't more people watching. But still I would've watch it a couple times, just wish CLK was here to watch it with me. I am definitely gonna wait for the second movie to come out...hopefully soon!! I can't wait that long!! Just like waiting for LOTR to come out. It was torture! :P

Honestly I can't say bad things about this movie, even though some people might think it's boring, I think it is awesome. I guess I must have missed a lot of stuff in the movie...so I might have to watch it again, maybe once or twice. Sorry for rambling but I can't help it! I don't really know what to say but you know...that it was awesome :P

I don't know if I spoiled anything about the movie but I am sure everyone have watched it :D What did you think of the movie? Have you watched the hobbit or lord of the ring?

Movie Date: I want to see this~

I have to share you something that have gotten my attention lately! Honestly I don't know what is coming out soon but I heard people mention this and I had to look it up. And... OMG! Girls I know you would definitely want to watch this. I think better bring your girlfriends than your boyfriend/husband. ;)




Come on girls, don't tell me you are at least semi-interested in watching this movie? And Channing Tatum, what a bonus. (I would prefer Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth but Channing will do XD )

Sorry for the lack of posts. I have been up and watching the Euro 2012 lately and it doesn't help that the games get on at 12am and 245am. I might do a post about it soon. I don't want to bore everyone who isn't a football (soccer) fanatic like me. XD I get to oogle guys, I love it!

Movie Date: The Avengers

Two Fridays ago, my brother, sister and I went to watch The Avengers (imagine the big macho voice saying this, with head high looking at an angle, hands on the hips and wearing a Superman costume XD). We went at 10pm and didn't get out of the place till quarter to 1am. The movie wasn't that long but there was intermission half way into the movie (I was like WTH?!). That was the first time EVER that an intermission ever occur to me. Some people who was sitting in front of me wasn't very happy about that.

All I got to say was....AVENGERS WAS AWESOME! I mean...I didn't expect much from the movie although I liked the previous movies leading up to this one (I still hadn't watch Thor and I will never watch The Hulk) so I was hoping it was somewhat decent. I won't spoil anything (I will try not that I am capable of doing so) but I kinda wish that the movie was longer. I would like to see more story line actually but I am not complaining. 

The movie was really good in my book so I was happy even though I didn't get to bed until like 3 that day. XD It had fighting scenes, some weird scenes and funny scenes which I think everyone liked. The funny scenes are awesome! So...what I am trying to say is if you have not watch this movie yet, you SHOULD. Then you can tell me if it sucked or something :P.

via

Definitely the best movie I have seen this year, so far anyway. Lets see if any movies in the coming months can top this one. :) Just love this:

Movie Date: Hunger Games

Heyya...I know it is a little late but who has not watched the Hunger Games right? :) So I got the opportunity to watch it too with my movie date buddy. I wanted to write about this the night after the movie but I just got other things on my mind and forgotten about it.

So anyway my experience was...the movie was pretty good but with a whole lot of moving (the cameras was moving a lot, as if you were running with the characters) I got motion sickness. So by the end of the movie I felt pretty light headed. :P It was one of the worse movie experience I have had in awhile.

By all means it was not a bad movie, although I don't know if I would watch the other ones...although I might. You never know! :D Did you watch the movie? How did you like it?





I have not read the books but now I feel tempted to read them. :)

Overall it was pretty good. If it wasn't for all the moving and making me feel sickly I would watch it again.

Movie Date: What I am looking forward to

I think the last movie I saw was Underworld...I have not seen any new movies since then (other than LOTR on tv and National Treasure which I have seen numerous times). I know there have been a bunch of awesome movies out since then but these few movies I want to see (plus Puss in boots which I have not seen yet!!).




Dr Seuss' The Lorax
Who does not love Dr Seuss? I grew up reading it...and surely my future kids will be reading them too. :D I love Horton hears a who and I am hoping to love this movie :D Although I was surprise that they have Zack Efron and Taylor Swiff in a movie together...maybe they will end up together? :P




Brave
I have not heard so much about this but a curly red head riding a horse in a forest killing a bear, why not?




Despicable Me 2
Yellow minions? YES please!! I loved the first movie and I am hoping the second is just as funny :D I can't wait for this to come...!!




Madagascar 3
Who does not love Chris Rock??! :D My favorite characters are the penguins!! I even tracked down the short movie clips of the penguins of Madagascar and I play them all the time. Definitely one of the movie I am looking forward to seeing.




Ice Age 4
Seriously I don't know how this movie will end. I am curious how these prehistoric animal will end up in our modern society (probably at a museum of some sort) but I can't wait. Have you seen all the movies? I think I missed Ice Age 3.




GI Joe 2 Retaliation
Can we all say Channing Tatum *drools* This movie seems to be promising. I did not like the first one cause I think it is boring...but I watch it because of Channing Tatum... so lets hope this one is a lil better.




Wrath of the Titans
If you do not know me well enough, I can say I love mythology. Stories and movies about them, Greek or Roman I would watch them all! Just be sure it is worthy of the myth itself. :D I can't wait to watch this!




Jack the Giant Killer
Do you remember that story Jack and the beanstalk? If you do you definitely should watch this. It has a little twist and not so harmless like that story we are use to listen to.

Last but not least...



Samurai X
My cousin and I hang out a lot when we were younger and one of the things we like to do among many things are watching anime. Samurai X is one of those we watched together (although I never finish watching it but it was one of her favorite). I am kinda eager to see what and how this movie would play out. Rurouni Kenshin is one of those anime character that you can't just replace with an actual person but I am looking forward to this. Might have to call up my cousin to ask questions. Do you watch any Japanese anime?

Movie Date: Underworld:- Awakening

Here's the thing. When you I plan to do things in advance, lets say a week, I never get around to it. There would always be things getting in the way, laziness (my nemesis) and all that jazz. So when my friend texted me Friday afternoon wondering if I wanted to watch Underworld (I think the most awesome-sauce Vampire/Werewolf movie ever, next to Blade) I say - hell yeah, why not? (See...so impulsive and no plans required.)

via

Have you seen this movie? I don't want to spoil it for whom ever have not watch this yet but oh I like it and dislike it at the same time. Can that be possible??! I think this movie and Blade trilogy is the top of my vampire vs werewolf movies. I wish, I really wish that this movie was longer and the story line is a lot more crazy! I was hoping to see the vampire elders in movie no.4 but no luck. It has been 3 years since the 3rd movie. I know because it was one of the movies I brought CLK to watch the first time he came to visit, and that was 3 years ago. It was his first Underworld movie and he was hooked.

via

I think Kate Beckinsale is just as hot as when she first starred in Underworld. I likey. XD The movie is pretty straight forward but I think it lacked the wow factor. Michael was only in the movie for a mere 2 minutes. Although they did put another vampire eye candy for my eyes to feast upon *drools*.

via

Hmmm...sexy eye candy indeed. XD I am hoping that the next movie in this installment won't take as long as this one. I am dying to see what happens although I don't want this movie to end. I just hope it won't be as long as the Harry Potter movies. XD

via

This movie I think is one of the most gruesome one so far, unless I have blocked some scary awesome-ness in the previous movies. In my opinion I really enjoyed it but I'd like to know how you feel about it, what you think about this movie and weather you like it or not. :D

IMDb ratings 7.2/10

Which vampire/werewolf movie do you like?

Movie Date: Australia

via

When Australia came out in 2008 I thought it was a movie about koalas and kangaroos. But I was wrong. Actually there was a scene with a mob kangaroos but...one got shot. So yeah, no kangaroos although there was a lot of cows. Cattles actually and Hugh Jackman *drools*.

via

I mean who doesn't love Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. :D Honestly I did not think I would like this movie, nor even want to see it. But after the little fight in the beginning and how Hugh and Nicole character met (it is pretty funny) I knew it was gonna be one of those movies. What makes it more interesting to me was the movie was set before WWII. It involves driving 2000 cattle over the crazy dry land and the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese.

via

Honestly I like this movie. I would watch it again just because I fell asleep in the middle of the movie but you know me. XD My sister liked it and she is pretty hard to impress. It has suspense, crazy sexy moments and some sad moments too, awesome in my book. So if you come across this movie don't change the channel (like CLK said).

via

Beside I think Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman's performance is awesome.




Have you seen Australia?

Movie Date: Sherlock Holmes 2

Last year I went to watch this movie (last year seems like so long ago..haha I saw it last week) and I don't know if I was too tired (I think I was!) or this movie was just not as good but I almost fell asleep! We did watch it around 10pm so that was a factor. I do believe that the second one was not as good as the first one...other than the hilarious and absurd fact that Holmes was trying to disguise himself as a sofa or book case. I thought that part was pretty funny.

The action was pretty good...Holmes like. The audience did laugh now and then so that was good right? :P My friend didn't complain although we didn't ride home together which we usually do and that's when we discuss weather we liked the movie or not.

IMDb ratings: 7.5/10 (must be quite good then I guess I was just too sleepy to enjoy it :P)

I did want to see this movie, We bought a zoo but I don't think they are showing it anymore :( I am a sad panda!



I love a crazy love/family story with animals! and 2 zebras. Have you watch any of the movies?

Movie Date: Immortals

Hello blogger friends!! *waves* It has been so long and I feel like this has been neglected. I was having some rough time and everyday feels so crappy that I would fall asleep in front of my laptop. It was sooo exhausting. I don't know why. I miss blogging (can't believe I'd say that!) and I miss reading your blogs *hugs*. :) I have not neglected y'all.

So I just want to share something with you guys. My ever-so-trusty-movie-friend-date went out tonight to watch Immortals.




Honestly I like this movie, but I wish it was longer. My friend says it reminds him of 300 (which of course the producers were from 300 and I have not watched that movie yet!). We both agreed that this movie was much better that the movie Clash of the Titans. :) Have you watched this yet?? I have yet to see Puss in boots. I want to go watch it soon-ish.

Some movies I want to watch this year and early next year:

Sherlock Holmes 2: A game of shadows



This one I am excited about. There is something about Robert Downey Jr that I love. :D

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo



I have heard of this book but never read it. The title is really intriguing so I might watch this soon. :)

New Year's Eve



Every time I think of new year I think of all the new years I have to spend it alone...*sigh* LOL I liked this trailer and it kinda reminds me of move Love Actually. I love that movie. And I have yet to see Valentine's Day. Man I gotta get the movie wagon rolling.

So...what movies have you been waiting/wanting to watch this coming months? I hope everyone is having a wonderful December!

Movie Date: Terminator Salvation

I am late on this terminator bandwagon. I was actually getting tired of the terminator movies :P that's why I waited so long to watch this movie. I thought it was gonna bad but it was not so bad. At least Arnold Schwarzenegger (OMG this is the first time I spell his name!) wasn't in the movie. It was getting kinda ...old. I did not pay so much attention to the story actually since I did not know what or who was who but I sorted things out at the end.



I like the half and half man. :) He is awesome. :D What do you think of the Terminator movies, especially this one?

Movie Date: Hachiko - A dog's story

I have heard of the tale of this dog before I knew there was a movie about it. Before playing the movie and watching it, I knew I was gonna cry. It is a story about a professor who found an abandoned dog on a train platform and the bond they have. He died one day and the dog keeps coming to the train station to wait for him, for 10 years.

Seriously...I cried. OMG it is so sad. =___=




I wish my cats would wait for me when I get home. Although they do wait for me because the want food. I think there's something about Richard Gere in this movie that makes it so...believable and sad. In Japan, they erected a bronze statue at the train station (I can't remember where now. Edit: It's at Shibuya Station and every April the people hold a special celebration in honor of the Akita) at the place he use to sit and wait.

I think the part when I knew he was going to die is the saddest. Have you watch this movie?

Movie Date: What I am looking forward to

I have been trying to occupy myself with other things that worry about Jumper. I have been searching for some upcoming movies and trailers. Some are pretty awesome but I don't know if I will get disappointed. Trailers can be pretty deceiving, which is why I try not to watch them. Sometimes I admit I watch movies because of the starting line up. Or if Leonardo Dicaprio or Johnny Depp is in them XD. Who doesn't like Leo and Johnny? Or shall I say Captain Sparrow :P

Some of the movies I hope does not disappoint am looking forward to watch:



Tower Heist (Nov 4)

The line up is pretty awesome. Ben Stiller is one pretty funny dude if he don't try too hard, Casey Affleck also acts in this, Matthew Broderick, Eddie Murphy (I love him as donkey and that zebra in Madagascar :P), Tea Leoni and Gabourey Sidibe to name a few. I am hoping this is gonna be good. The trailer is pretty hilarious though. I love the part where Matthew Broderick character says 'I'm gonna be a male whore' (I think that's what he said :P).




Puss in Boots


Just plain and simple - who doesn't love puss in boots? :D




Three Musketeers (Oct 2011)

I love anything related to the Three musketeers, movie wise. My all time favorite movies are The man in the iron mask (1998 which Leonardo DiCaprio acted in - of course!) and the 1993 film The three musketeers - with the cast of Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Chris O'Donnell, Oliver Platt and Tim Curry (can't believe Charlie Sheen is in this one, didn't know until I wiki it haha). I think that movie was my number one favorite until I got my hands on The man in the iron mask. I am hoping this newer version does not disappoint me because they can change the whole plot of the story but they can't change the three musketeers. Definitely looking forward to this one.




John Carter (2012)

I don't know why but this movie reminds me of Prince of Persia and I still haven't watched that movie yet. I want to so bad now.




The Hobbit (2012)


If you were crazy about LOTR then you do not want to miss this. One more movie to put on my list. I can't wait to see this and to see Peter Jackson's magic.




The Avengers (2012)


I could not find the official trailer but I am beginning to love this one. I have not seen Thor yet (I'm just so caught up with things). Thor, come to mama!

Transformer 4: Rise of Galvatron (2012)


Apparently there is the 4th installment of this movie. I hope this one is much more better than the last. I heard Michael Bay might not direct this one. We will see.



The Sleeping Beauty (2011)


This movie looks so wrong yet so intriguing. I don't think they will play this at the cinema but I am sure gonna find out a way to watch this.

Last but not least...




Underworld: Awakening (Jan 2012)

I have waited a long time for the next Underworld movie and it has come. I have seen the trailer and psyched myself before watching it. I don't know if I like the trailer. I might have to watch all 3 movies again, starting with the 3rd, 1st and 2nd. I didn't like the 2nd one so much but I might be wrong.


Other movies that might interest you:
Battleship
The Lost Symbols
Ice Age 4

Is there any movies you are looking forward to?

Movie Date: Abduction

2 days ago my cousin and I decided to go watch a movie on a whim. Since no one else wanted to go with (it was a working and school night) we decided to watch the 1045pm show. Out of all the movies (which was not many available that night) we decided to watch Abduction. I was drawn to it because of Taylor Lautner (admitting now). After watching the movie, I seriously wished I chose Dream House instead. At least it will keep me shivering until we reach home (which was almost 1am).

It was very disappointing, and kinda sad. Wish the movie had more awesomeness to it. I can't decide whether the movie was going too slow or too fast, probably both and the ending was kind of a let down. One the good side, I get to spend time with my cousin (whom I rarely see) and took tons of pictures with the Johnny English movie poster. :P Will probably do a separate post on that.

via - wish this scene was in the actual movie!

Movie Date: The Dark Knight

Honestly I don't watch Batman movies. But, I love this movie. I think Heath Ledger's character is freakin' awesome. I never knew why I never watched this earlier and I bet everybody wanted to watch that movie when it came out. Watching it makes me despise the Joker, and it makes me wanna punch him in the face. It is sad that he left the world at an early age.

via

I think this has to be best Batman movie out there, making me think other Batman movies could not compete with this one. Maybe it's Heath Ledger's final performance, maybe it's just an awesome story like we would never know. If you have not watch this (I am sure you all have!) you should. :) I think I might have to watch this the second time. Just to be sure I don't miss anything.

via

My favorite quote from the movie:

James Gordon Jr.: [Batman runs off into the darkness as James Jr. joins his father by Harvey Dent's body] Batman? Why's he running Dad?
Lt. James Gordon: [Staring after Batman] Because we have to chase him.
James Gordon Jr.: But he didn't do anything wrong
Lt. James Gordon: Because he's the hero Gotham deserves. But not the one it needs right now. And so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent gaurdian. A watchful protector. A dark knight 
(source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/quotes)


I actually memorized pretty much some of it and had to look it up to be sure :P I am awesome (insert gagging sound) LOL. Have you watch this movie? I think it is freakin' awesome. :) And...I didn't know the Dark Knight is actually Batman.

Movie Date: Drumline

This movie came out in 2002 and I just started college then. I remembered wanting to watch it but never got to watch it until the late 2004. I love this movie. And I have a CD to prove it and have watched it more than once. ;) When they were playing it on my cable tv 2 nights ago I couldn't pass it up. I gotta watch it again. Something about drums and college/school setting makes me love it. Like Remember the Titans (have you watch that movie?)




I know a lot of people may not like this type of movies but I do, especially when it is based on true story/event (I know this wasn't) but don't you just love the music? :D And I love Nick Cannon.

Have you watched this movie?

Movie Date: Captain America - The First Avenger

via

Last Saturday, my sister, her bf, my brother and I went to the movies. Since NO ONE wanted to watch Harry Potter (I cried inside!!) we went to watch Captain America instead. I wanted myself to hate this movie, and almost convinced myself that it was gonna be bad! - but - =___='' I actually liked it! LOL I was pretty sad at myself cause I thought I would enjoy watching Harry Potter more. Sigh**

Mind you I was clueless about Captain America. I have heard of it, I don't think I have ever watch the cartoon version (if any, I am more of the X-Men geek XD) and convinced myself I would not like it. Damn Captain America has a oogle-licious body. Then my sister's bf went on and on about this being the first avenger (I have heard of this but never actually seen it, you know, The Avenger) so I was like *light bulb switched on* ohhhhhh.... Earlier this year I checked it was last year (I did not write about it, weird) I watched Ironman 2 after failing to watch the first one, which I did afterwards and I enjoyed it. And Thor came out, but I skipped it, thinking I would not liked it then realized I should've watched Thor before watching Captain America. They really should have a label on the movie - "Watch Thor before proceeding to watch Captain America".

I actually liked this movie. The hero was awesome, there was some funny scenes and I totally dig old, WWII movies, all in one. Amazing huh? I still have not watched Harry Potter, I am still crying inside. Also The Green Lantern, something about The Justice League being made? Please tell me if I am getting my facts wrong. The Green Lantern is too cartoony for me to watch, although I adore Ryan Reynolds - sigh*. Maybe I will wait a little longer.

I need to watch Thor now, have anyone watched it? Do you like it? Did you watch Captain America yet?

Movie Date: Transformer 3 Dark of the moon

via

Took my sisters and brother to watch Transformer 3 a few weeks back, before my sister, A left for India. I had mixed feeling about the movie. I actually enjoyed the action part but I don't really care for the lovey, dovey part, I feel like it was pointless.

My sisters on the other hand thought it was boring. My brother liked it though. I wish there was more action in the movie, wonder if there is a fourth installment? I don't know if I liked Megan Fox's character better or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley better, I wish they had more roles than just act pretty. Patrick Dempsey was in it, I think he has a pretty awful role thought, I keep imagining him in Grey's Anatomy. *sigh*




Anyway, I would give this movie a 6/10. It was a pretty interesting movie, it didn't put me to sleep. I think the story was cut short...this was a pretty long movie too, 157 minutes. :) Have you watched this movie yet? Did you like it?
