king kong pawns brody

we were able to watch king kong right before the start of the manila film fest. it was quite depressing, but the current version had more juice in its plot and they were able to explore more of the characters as the film progressed. the movie’s more than an action-packed, monster-killing stint as they developed emotion and moral.

i disagree with carl (played by jack black) when he said that it’s beauty that killed the beast. in my opinion, it was simply man’s blind ambition. i don’t need to discuss why, all you have to do is look around you.

goblet of fire the best in the series yet

of the four harry potter movies released, this is so far the best i’ve seen. the movie has successfully brought the vivid imagination of Rowling to the silverscreen, but unfortunately, they weren’t able to do the same with the plot. they left out some of the things which made goblet of fire better than the previous three. the under-developed characters and the butchered plot left the non-readers scratching their heads and constantly bugging their potter-fan companion for a quick background. it sucks to explain the why’s and who’s, ya know.

then again, in my opinion, it’s still worth the watch even for non-potter fans. the weasley twins were yummy, hermione was gorgeous and harry looks scruffier than ever.

Excerpt from Kurosawa’s “Dreams”

“peaches can be bought in the market; but you can’t buy an orchard in full bloom.”- from Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams

simple things in life are priceless. it’s sad, though, that we are fond of amusing ourselves with fleeting things.
