About two years ago, I wrote a list of 50 items that I want to accomplish in this lifetime. While a few have already been ticked off (experience an F1 race, see a Picasso art piece, [...]
Contrary to my plans as outlined in my last post, I didn’t get to finish There Will Be Blood. Even amidst strong recommendations from friends, the fact that my copy of the film came straight from enterprising pirates possessing camcorders made me realize that, to hell with it. I’ll just wait for a better copy. [...]
I downed two films last night, No Country For Old Men and Tulad ng Dati. I also managed to finish about 30 minutes of There Will Be Blood before finally dozing off in my lounge chair at past 3 in the morning.
I didn’t really like No Country. The first one-fourth of the movie was slow-paced. [...]
The first word that popped into my head when thinking of an adjective to describe the 2007 Cannes Golden Palm winner 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days was the word painful. I know this may sound unfair, considering the beautiful filmmaking and masterful storytelling involved, but the reality is that the experience is truly [...]
It took a whole lot of courage on my part to try and sample the music of Lightspeed Champion. Because honestly, would you trust a guy to deliver good music if he looks like this?
But as I always say, things don’t turn out exactly the way you expect them to be, and Lightspeed Champion is [...]

I know I’m probably way late to the party, but I am really digging the National. I didn’t get into them when they released Boxer last year as it reminded me so much of a Johnny Cash sensibility, which didn’t bode that well with me. But I must admit, their music is really the type [...]
It’s 3:45 am and I am wide awake, listening to The Three EPs by the Beta Band. Such are the perils of retiring early last night. I think I must’ve fallen asleep by 9pm, with my laptop hard at work downloading multiple albums while stationed next to me in bed.
I’ve actually downloaded more than a [...]
In the spirit of Valentimes (not a typo) and nary someone to hold hands with (a private joke), I tried my hand at watching Minsan Minahal Kita, the Sharon-Richard starrer from a few years back. It was just me being jologs as jologs can get.
While watching an ill-fated romance flick may be mistakenly interpreted as [...]
