December 2 Chapter VII
June 30, 2008

Taken by Cars has just released their latest video for the song December 2 Chapter VII.

My favorite song from arguably my favorite album of 2008, I really like what they did here. I had anticipated a more darker texture in terms of colors and hues, but the video’s vibrant nature didn’t [...]

Right after I got back from Lesley’s in Alabang last night, I finished off the movie I saw earlier in the day. And this I’ve got to say.. Wayne’s World still rocks after all these years.
It was funny how some of the films characters reminded me of some of my real life friends. Borderline [...]

I caught this in [...]

‘We’ll stay inside till somebody finds us
Do whatever the TV tells us’
- Apartment Story by the National
I caught Titan A.E. last night on DVD, which in my opinion, is one of those underrated animated features that should be the topic of more conversations. I actually put this movie in high regard, and alongside Finding Nemo, [...]

CJ7
June 20, 2008

I caught what was supposed to have been Stephen Chow’s magnum opus, CJ7, a few days ago. With a cool USD 20 million budget, coupled with the string of Chow must see’s like Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer, much has been expected from this film.

Unfortunately, the movie falls short on its promise. I found [...]

It was probably about two weeks ago that I found time to watch Cloverfield. It wasn’t really that high on my must see movies for this year, but since the dvd was just lying around, I figured, what the hell.

And contrary to my initial preconceptions, I quite liked the film. Watching it on the small [...]

“The price of gas keeps on rising
Nothing comes for free”
- Price of Gas by Bloc Party
I opted for a Bloc Party playlist while driving to Alabang tonight, and as if I hadn’t already realized, the rising prices of gasoline are a bitch. And although world prices of oil per barrel seems to have reached its [...]
