Blood: The Last Vampire

Here's another anime turn movie by hollywood. Blood: The Last Vampire, has a wide range of fans in its anime version. When I first saw the trailer of this live movie I actually smiled, atleast this time hollywood casted the characters right. Which means they casted a japanese girl as Saya and the characters that are suppose to be japanese are really japanese. Not like Dragonball which was casted stupidly or Mermois of a Giesha where they casted chinese people.. o.0 WUWT. Anyway, this Blood movie is base on the first movie of the animation not the series. This is where Saya was asked to go undercover to as a high school student to hunt down blood suckers. (notice that they didn't mention the word vampire in the movie. or did i miss it... anyway). But in this live movie version it looks like Saya is being comfronted by her vampire mother. Which I don't remember in the series that her mother was looking for her. If we base it on the series Blood Plus... Saya was looking or rather defending the movies from her twin sister, not her mother. But this changes or addition in the movie is quite okey, it didn't ruined the essense of the story.

Other all the cinematography is good, fight scenes are so anime and even the way they moved is so anime. The movie didn't stray far from the actual story. There are a lot of gorey stuff when Saya kills with her sword but its tolerable. There might be some reviews saying that its a corney movie... i even read one that he didn't like it and said something about FB japanese girls.. well the author was a F*A* racist american anyway so what do you expect. LOL

Trust me I am a Blood fan, and if you are a Blood fan like me, you won't be disappointed if you watch this movie. BTW, in the series the guy with Saya the one that poses her bodyguard is not in the movie. Again, the movie was based on the anime movie... not the series. ^_^

o.0 FACEBOOK MOVIE?

My sources just informed me that David Fincher (director of Aliens, Seven, Fightclub) will be directing the movie "The accidental billionaires" which is base on how facebook has came to be. It rather surprised people why Mr. Fincher will be directing a movie about how Mark Zuckerber a sophomore student in Hardvard came up with facebook and became a billionare. But that's not what I am surprised about. o.0 FACEBOOK? the movie? like come on, what would hollywood think of next? Twitter the animation movie? What's been going on in hollywood? Does their scriptwriters can't think of anything original anymore which is not a reset of an old movie franchise, or a remark or base on a true story, graphic novel, game, animation, asian movies or novel? It looks like Hollywood has been feeding us with movies base on something not really written for the big screen like before. And speaking of novels, it shows that this Facebook movie is ALSO BASED on a NOVEL that will hit the stores next month which is july. Which is titled: "The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal" that was written by Ben Mezrich. AGAIN.... another movie base on a novel which is base on a true to life moment. ^^j Here's the full look of the story base on AMAZON.COM

Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg were Harvard undergraduates and best friends–outsiders at a school filled with polished prep-school grads and long-time legacies. They shared both academic brilliance in math and a geeky awkwardness with women.

Eduardo figured their ticket to social acceptance–and sexual success–was getting invited to join one of the university’s Final Clubs, a constellation of elite societies that had groomed generations of the most powerful men in the world and ranked on top of the inflexible hierarchy at Harvard. Mark, with less of an interest in what the campus alpha males thought of him, happened to be a computer genius of the first order.

Which he used to find a more direct route to social stardom: one lonely night, Mark hacked into the university's computer system, creating a ratable database of all the female students on campus–and subsequently crashing the university's servers and nearly getting himself kicked out of school. In that moment, in his Harvard dorm room, the framework for Facebook was born.

There is still no casting being done in this movie nor it has been started yet. I am confused though on what will be the title of this movie. Will it take up the title of the book or would it have the title that Mr.Fincher has announced earlier this year that he will be directing a movie called the "The Social Network". There is still no release date on this movie.

o.0 Pictures of Johnny Depp are out people in Alice and Wonderland

Ever since I have stumbled into the art work of return to wonderland graphic novel, I have been getting hits by an alice in wonderland movie directed by Tim Burton. Mr. Burton has been one of my favorite directors next to Tarantino, woo, Backhaimmer and Speilberg. And what facinates me that almost all movies that Burton directs wiether its live or animated Johnny Depp and his wife is always in it. And They are good at it. So anyway, when I found about this movie I expected that Mr. Burton did a movie about the graphic novel of Return to Wonderland, which I thought I missed and was disperately searching for the Dvd of it. Then only to find out that its still on the making and its under Disney. (x.x) When i read disney, all my hopes went up in smokes. It will be impossible for Disney to commision a Return to Wonderland movie, this graphic novel is like the adult version of Alice in wonderland. So digging further i was able to find out that Mr.Burton is indeed making the classic alice in wonderland from where Disney left off years ago in the animation version. This time Alice is in a victorian party not falling asleep under a tree while reading a book. It has been writen in US Today, that the Mad Hatter (Mr.Depp) Welcome's back to Wonderland, is given that this happened years after she had her adventure in wonderland as a kid. So ofcorst, being the director makes the movie intering, having mr.Depp in it makes it more Facinatingly Interesting. As I have mentioned in my c blog this movie will be out in 2010 and I will diffenately watch this in the big screen. A lot of people has commented that this Alice movie will be having an air of creepyness because its Tim Burton with his usual acomplish Johnny Depp and his wife Helena Bonham Carter. On the other hand the White Queen will be playes by Anne Hathaway. Mia Wasikawska will be the girl that will play Alice. There are plans to ad on CG animations and motion capture creatures.

Just recently US Today has released the first look on one of the major characters in the moive.
















(from L - R)

Depp -Mad Hatter
Carter - Queen of Hearts
Hathaway - White Queen


The movie will be released in 3D, which means there will be an IMAX version to it as well as the ordinary 2d movie experience. I hope our local IMAX theater will get this straight. I don't want to waste nearly 500 bucks expecting the movie i'm watching is 3d only to find out its just in 2d and the screan is not even 180 degrees cieling to buttom like THE REAL IMAX theaters in the u.s

To sum it all up... I will diffenately watch this movie. ^_^

The Taking of Pelham 123

Directed by Tony Scott. Since the movie has been released in the big screen it has earned $25,000,000 in total and is #3 of the top ten movies of the week by BoxOffice.

In my 2009 must see movies I have talked about this movie already that this is a remake of the 1974 film with the same title. So since this movie is part of my must see movies list of 2009, I called up my bestfriend to watch it with me. She personally have been to NY and has rode the Pelham 123. She told me its really exactly the same.

So, the movie started like its just an ordinary day in the subway. And Gruber played by Washington started his ordinary day as well. I think my bestfriend was right this is the first movie where denzel played a role as an underdog.

Now Ryder (travolta), and his men took the train in just one minute and no one even noticed it. When they went to the tunnel that's when they separated the passenger trunks to the main trunks. (sorry i don't know what they call that, so i call them trunks). The hostage terms were pretty simple. $10million in an hour and every minute that is pass one hour hostages starts to die. It is pretty interesting that the mayor of new york city is riding the subway train in this movie. Makes me wonder if the real NY mayor rides the train for real. So anyway back to the movie. As the movie unfolds we learned that Ryder is a former Wall Street Banker.. or so it seems to me. He keeps on monitoring the stock market and bringing down the dollar value against gold. Apparently years back before he was put to jail, he had like court hearing regarding his business that he appealed for and was only granted $2 million from the government and was given only $1million. Well that's what I understood since I failed my corporate accounting in college. The plan was so clean and sure, if Graber wasn't playing hero. Ryder could have gotten away from it. But in the end I think Ryder wanted a death sentence anyway. Now I wonder where his $300million stock will go now that his dead.

Over all the movie is great, but it kinda made the NY government look bad. And also there's the issue of Graber taking a $3500 bribe that cost his demotion coz he needed it to pay for his children's college. Which he finally admitted when Ryder was about to shoot a teenager.

Travolta hasn't lost his touch in acting. He is still good at it. So is Washington. The movie is worth of p160 I paid for for seeing the movie in the big screen. It doesn't have much action but its good.
