SPIDERWICK

Their world is closer than you think.
It seems that now every movies love to be about ogres, goblins and other creatures that attract youths. Probably they all get the same idea from warcraft. Haha!
Well, SPIDERWICK is a movie not to be missed if you love fantasy but do not expect any rough battles like those in 10000 BC because this movie is not about violence. The creatures are cute and the way the director make for the movie to flow is excellent although I might said it's rather predicatable. I do not wish to tell the audience anything more bout this movie cause it will definitely spoil your mood for a movie with great expectations.
Well, do enjoy!

MUSIC heal the soul...I'm experiencing it...

I was driving back after the tuition class I gave today. It was very hot and all the discomfort after a day's work seem to make this trip back home even more difficult to continue. I looked through the discs inside my car to listen to some music that would help me loosen up and I found a disc that my friend borrowed to me.
It is the 1995 GRAMMY NOMINATED AWARD SONGS. I listened to some of the songs and thank God for the song "Hero" by Mariah Carey. It was really very motivating and of course, a good time to listen to as it helps me to relax.
For the first time in my life, I find myself agreeing that Mariah Carey is a good singer.
Well, not only is Hero a nice song to listen to, the beat is cool....and all the more, the lyrics are inspiring. Besides Hero, I also listened to another song: FRIENDS. Probably I was at the point of leaving for further studies and it is about time to say goodbye to all my friends that have been with me all these years.
Kinda emotional during the trip back, and really music helps to heal one's soul. I must admit that it is a great feeling and probably the air-condition start taking effect as well....so it really make a difference for my ride home. By the time I reached home, I felt very much energized to do more things....guess music definitely is capable of healing one's soul and emotion.
I am thinking of learning MUSIC as well...probably guitar will be the first musical instrument for me to get back into. Been a while since the last time I played my guitar....guess I forgot how beautiful it is to listen to music....listen to the BEAT!!!

Was just watching the Rambo movies once again. And really there is such a big difference with the Stallone back then and now. Those were the days when that image automatically represent a figure of a soldier, not just any soldier but one who is sharp, fast, strong and also intelligent.
In Rambo 4 however, Stallone was a shadow of himself in other Rambos and it seems more like a retired soldier. And though probably that is what it is even in the movie, it is disappointing for the fans to watch their heros grow old. A bit over exaggerated in the movie for an old man to be so active and fast.
The movies are cruel...their killings are scary and it definitely is successful in producing the image of murderous soldier.
But anyway the movie in overall is not really that good. I will said it is better for Stallone to make another movie with another title than to link it with Rambo. Well, probably it would be the last project for him...so I will said let's give him some credit for the hardwork to revive Rambo and as much as I felt it is unsuccessful I think the effort put in is good enough to keep the fans watching.
RAMBO 4....live for nothing or die for something....that is the words spoken by Rambo....don't you feel something is very wrong there?? hahaha! sorry for the sarcasm....
