Gran Torino: Get Out Of My Lawn

January 10, 2009

 

I thought this movie all about cars and racing but I’m wrong. But I can say that the first one is correct it’s all about car particularly to the title itself the “Gran Torino”.  But I think the car is just an accessory on this film and its variable to the plot. What I’m trying to say is that the movie can be titled by any old or vintage car that is very valuable today. I expect a lot of action on this film like car chases but it turn out to be a drama. I don’t usually watch trailers so I always end up expecting least expected. But this movie will not waste 116 min of your life. Clint Eastwood delivers the acting very well as well as the Asian cast and the story is very light and heartwarming. I love the song in the end credits “Gran Torino” performed by Jaime Cullum, and I’m not surprised that the song is nominated on the Golden Globe Awards for Best Original Song.

Vote for Puerto Princesa Subterranean River

January 8, 2009

 

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River (PPSR) is now the official entry of the Philippines to the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Last year the voting for National Qualification has ended with PPSR on the top of the list. PPSR along with Mayon Volcano, Tubbataha Reef, Taal Volcano, Chocolate Hills are Philippines entry to the campaign but only one nominee per country will go on to the next round. The organizing committee will select the 21 finalist among the top 77 after the end of this round on July 7, 2009. You can vote once per email address but you can vote 7 nominees just like the previous round. You can use the same email address you use on the previous round. I’m sure that Puerto Princesa Subterranean River will make it again but the question is will it make it to the top 21?

Slumdog Millionaire: Is that your final answer?

January 3, 2009

 

Danny Boyle really don’t know how to make a good movies but only knows how make the great ones. Don’t judge the book by its cover… the movie poster sucks but it’s the movie that rocks. I’m a fan and I enjoy watching his masterpieces. I don’t have a clue on what the movie is all about. I’ve seen this on IMDB frequently but I don’t go on finding the storyline (I hate spoilers) and all I know that this is a Danny Boyle film. Great story plus great directing is equals to Best Picture. This movie deserve it’s nomination at the Golden Globe although I haven’t seen other contenders (The Curious Case is up next on my playlist). I don’t want to go on details about this film but all I can say that this is 9/10. This movie is a must see but I don’t think that it will be released here in the Philippines. It is released on selected theaters in the US.
