*sigh dreamly* my childhood love

i remember way back when i was still a child where my dad gets mad if he can't watch his PBA games on t.v. Why? coz here i am starting to cry and pout and being brat if i couldn't watch my Astroboy. How would I know decades later i will have a chance to see him in the big screen.

Astroboy is somewhat a modern age Pinocchio, minus the fairy godmother and his nose getting longer every time he lies. Its like Pinocchio met Frankenstein.

Anyway, i bring you the first trailer of Astroboy the movie.

GOOOOoooo JOESsss..!!!

lol they didn't really had this in the movie. In the old times, every time the joes are being deployed or whatever they usually have this cheer.. "Gooo... Joesss.."

Anyway, the movie was fantastic. Lot of action, it lived up its animation version. The transition to one fight to the other is excellent. Casting was perfect. Story line? makes sense. Nano technology.. mmmm reminds me of the arcade game i play "Time Crisis 4".

However there are some points which hollywood yet again changed. As I could remember and correct me if i'm wrong since i was like what? 5 or 7 years old when G.I.Joe animation was aired through our telly. Barroness and Cobra is an item, not brothers and sister. And that Cobra got his face ruined because acid not nano bots. But then again its the 21st century and hollywood thought it would be fitting to have a story line base on the technology we are now living. Another thing.. Duke? and Barroness had a past? o.0 and because of this setting they made Barroness pathetic.. Arrrghhh... stupid hollywood. It was nice to see Barroness kicking some Joe asses just as she always is in animation but what the F? NO.. THEY MADE BARRONESS PATHETIC! *cries* She is not suppose to be a bimbo gogo eyed girl with a joe. Well other than hollywood made barroness pathetic the whole movie is fun, full of action, comedy.. (Why is the black guy always the comedy releif?)

If you haven't watched it.. you should get ur arse to the nearest movie screen. Coz as I over heared a conversation at work its way better than transformers2. lol AMEN to that.!

ORPHAN

I thought it was a horror movie. I thought it was a movie that is somewhat like the omen. All through out the beginning of the movie I waited for Esther to use her telekinesis or telekinetic abilities. But i was wrong. She is just a psychotic little girl. Well at least she looks like a little girl.

Very well, the story is like this. Mom lost her third child. She got depressed and became an alcoholic and nearly killed their daughter. Meanwhile her husband had an affair while she was having a nervous breakdown. Now all things passed, they decided to adopt a grown up child. Mother said, she would like to give her love to Jessica (the name of her lost baby) to someone else. Enter Esther. She is the adopted girl who came from Russia. In the first scenes in the movie with her it was clear to me that she has a father complex. Their older child (son) doesn't like her coz he finds her a weirdo by wearing ruffled dressed. As the movie progress, it clearly shows that she is a psychotic child who kills people that upsets her. Eventually she turned against her brother and mother. Eventually the mother learned Esther didn't came from an orphanage in Russia but a mental hospital that Esther isn't what she seems to be.

I am a bit disappointed on this movie. I was expecting it be a horror movie. Instead I got a psychotic thriller. *sigh* anyway, setting aside that. The movie is quite ok. Its one of those movies that is not a dissaster but not oscar material enough. However, its nicely done.
