Digital Fortress

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s almost a month ago when it was released at ngayon ko lang mare-review. This “review” (just like any other reviews I have) is actually my thoughts about the movie. (I don’t consider myself as a good reviewer nor a movie critic.) So what took me so long? Well, it doesn’t matter. Basta satisfied na ako dahil napanood ko pa rin sya sa big screen yesterday. Baka kasi mawala na sa sine once ipalabas na ang “Sukob” and “The Break Up” this Wednesday.

Kahapon, kinalikot ko ang Google Earth Beta and I came across with this little tool called “Ruler” that calculates the distance of a particular area whether it’s a length of a street or a distance between your house and school.

Naalala ko yung nilakad naming pamilya nung sumali kami sa prusisyon sa parish namin about three Good Fridays ago. I measured every road that we had taken from the Church hanggang sa umuwi kami on foot. And I realized that we had walked a staggering 4.62 km! That’s equivalent to the distance between the MRT Magallanes Station to Boni Station! At mas mahaba pa sa runway ng airport!

And take note. Hindi pa ako napagod nun a. Buti na lang gabi yung prusisyon kung hindi baka wala pa sa kalahati natuyo na ako.

Everytime na mag-o-online ako, I always check my email. And I’m sure, lahat naman eh email ang inuunang buksan unless na wala kang email account or mag-o-online games ka lang or Friendster.

Pero ako, I always want my email to be free of ‘unread’ messages. Kahit sa bulk mail gusto ko laging empty yun. I always check my Bulk mail before emptying it kasi baka may nakalusot na legitimate mail. Kaya kahit 100 a day ang spam mails ko, ok lang yun.

Last Friday, nag-overnight swimming kami sa may bandang San Mateo, Rizal. Sa totoo lang, iba ang paalam ko sa nanay ko. Sinabi ko na lang na may despedida party ang classmate kong magma-migrate sa Canada. Sigurado kasing hindi ako papayagan nun kapag nalaman nyang swimming ang pupuntahan ko e. Masyado kasing matatakutin ang nanay ko e. Graduating pa naman ako this year (hopefully). Madalas kasi nababalitaan sa TV yung mga graduating students na nalulunod sa mga swimming di ba? Dun naman sa case namin, pool lang naman yun. Ang tanga ko naman kung nalunod pa ako. Hindi naman beach yun para tangayin ako ng alon. Read more »

If I were to become a filmmaker, I’ll start with a horror film. When I say ‘horror’, I mean movies in the likes of ‘Final Destination‘, ‘Saw‘ and ‘Hostel‘ and not local horror films like ‘Bahay ni Lola’ etc where the main attractions are ghosts, monsters and white ladies copied from Japanese horror movies.

If given a chance, I’ll start with a zombie film filled with litters of blood and human intestines. (Yeah, I like gory movies more than those ‘ghost’ flicks.)

Remember, LOTR director Peter Jackson started his film career in this genre. And now I wanted to revolutionize our local horror movies into something controversial that any Filipino would like to see out of curiosity.

I’d like to cast Judy Ann, Jolina, or even Sugar from Eat Bulaga and other celebrities that most people will pay to see those actors’ head to be crushed by a truck, rip their arms off thru a chainsaw, expose their internal organs or be eaten alive by zombies. (I’d like to see Ethel Booba’s boobs to burst into flames too…)

Now, that’s cool to watch…especially on the big screen….

Naaasar ako kasi hindi ko pa napapanood ang Superman Returns. Wala kasi akong kasama, time at pera. So tatanga na lang ba ako? Bahala na. Maganda sanang time manood sa mismong araw ng laban ni Pacquiao at Larios kasi walang masyadong tao sa labas. Walang traffic. Walang ding jeep kasi nakatutok lahat sa TV. Hehehe..

Speaking of the fight…Parang masyadong kampante ang mga Pinoy na mananalo si Manny. May schedule na nga yung victory party para kay Pacman sa Channel 2 e. Parang may under-the-table agreement na dapat manalo si Pacquiao.

Anyway, hindi naman yun ang topic ko. Gusto ko lang i-verify sa inyo kung meron kayong nararamdamang kakaiba when watching the end credits of a film. Read more »
