SNAKES on a mutha-f***ing PLANE!

"Enough is enough. I've had it with these mother-f***ing snakes on this mother-f***ing plane!"

Jeesh... you kiss your mother with that mouth? Hahaha... Well, that's probably as bad-ass that Samuel L. Jackson is going to get on his latest movie Snakes on a Plane. Anyway, this movie did get a lot of hype even before it was released (I remember watching the MTV Movie Awards and Sam Jackson was there to announce best movie when he suddenly plugged this film). And I say that this excited me more in watching this mother-f***ing movie. All those hype builded up some great expectations about the movie and after watching it, though I know some might not agree with me on this, I can say that I'm completely satified. As we all know, Snakes on a Plane is a B-movie. But this has got to be one of the best B-movies that I've ever seen. I didn't like it because of Samuel L. Jackson. Don't get me wrong. I know he kicks ass... east side, west side, "dark" side, biatch!... he also talks the talk and walks the walk... f***ing COOLNESS all the way. But honestly, it's the premise of the movie that excited me more.

The movie brings mid-flight terrorism to a whole new level. There's this one line from Samuel L. Jackson while he was talking to his FBI buddy in LA where he said, "you know how all those security scenarios we ran? I'm smack in the middle of one we didn't think of." In all fairness, he's probably right. Who would have thought of that? So, should the government be concerned on this kind of mid-flight scares? I don't think so. The movie sort of explained it for itself on not to be scared of this ever occuring. Scientifically, I don't know if all those explainations about snake behavior were true. I mean, I'm no snake expert. But hey, it is still fun to watch. Story wise, there's not much to tell. Well, not much in a sense of giving the whole story away. What's important is that you got the main premise of the story and it's already in the title... Snakes On A Plane. The movie is funny and scary at the same time. And I dare you guys to watch it!

By the way. The movie is so graphic and there're alot of cursing. So I suggest you don't bring the kiddies when you watch it. The movie is rated R in the first place. When I watched this movie in the theater, I saw alot of people who brought their children along. What do they think they're watching? Barney and Friends???

Feeling Down? Get a Cheerleader!

There's this game I've been playing on my Nintendo DS that I really like. It's called Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan! It's more like a Dance Dance Revolution game for the Nintendo DS. Only this time you have to use your stylus instead of your feet. Anyway, the game is about a group of Cheerleaders (that's right, cheerleaders. MALE cheerleaders.) cheering people up to boost their confidence. That really sounds funny. Who would want to have a group of cheerleaders doing their thing just cheer you up? Well, take a look at this...



Apparently, in Japan, there really happens to be a real-life Ossu! Tatakae! Ouendan! And they do it just for kicks. Sheesh. If I were there, I don't know whether to take them seriously or not. I mean, come on... a friend is enough to cheer you on when you're down. Why need a group of loud strangers, in front of a dozen more strangers looking on, just for the cheering up. You'll have to be a total loser to be in that kind of situation. (>_>)

Titanic 2???

And I thought I've seen it all. Now this one is totally wierd. Who ever made this trailer must really have that much patience in piecing it together. From what I've seen, there were clips from Con Air, Catch Me If You Can, Hulk. The Beach, Romeo and Juliet.. just to name a few. Although, I have to praise him for his compositing and editing skills. It's pretty good. ^_^

It's A Holiday

Today is a non-working holiday here in the Philippines. And for the first time, the government declared it so because today, August 21, is the death anniversary of one of the Philippines heroes, Ninoy Aquino. Now, I don't usually talk about politics in my blog. To be perfectly honest, for me, Philippine politics has gone to the dogs. It's nothing but a one big theatrical act. And a bad one at that. Anyway, in my opinion, the declaration of a non working holiday today reads politics all over it. As we Filipinos all know, President Arroyo and Former President Cory Aquino are not in good terms because of the "Hello Garci" controversy and how President Arroyo cheated on the last Presidential election. Mrs. Aquino asked Mrs. Arroyo to step down. But Mrs. Arroyo turned down the request. Thus prompting Mrs. Aquino to go to the opposition. If we all know our politics (and history), Mrs. Aquino is the widow of Ninoy Aquino.

Ahh... now. Are you getting the picture? By declaring today a non-working holiday to celebrate Ninoy Aquino's death anniversary, Mrs. Arroyo thinks that she can win back Mrs. Aquino's good side. But then again, it's just my opinion. Who knows what Mrs. Arroyo was thinking.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Last night, me and my best bud, with his brother, watched My Super Ex-Girlfriend. This is one of those movies that would make you go... "damn! Why didn't I think of that?" The story is so funny and being a comic geek, the idea of a super hero hooking up with a normal guy is really interesting. It's nothing like Superman and Lois Lane where they really knew each other for a long time. The story is more about a lonely guy trying to hit on a girl, hoping that he could get laid after a serious breakup from an ex. Apparently, he hit on the wrong kind of girl. It's really funny, I tell you. You just have to watch it.

Believe me, I think this is better than Superman Returns.

A Note From The Introvoys

A funny thing. I decided earlier to read all my posts in my blog from the beginning. I guess I really have nothing to do today. So anyway, I was re-reading my previous posts, and this post came to my attention. I was commenting how the band HALE sounded like a bit like the INTROVOYS. Then I saw this comment made by Paco Arespacochaga. I thought, "what the hell? Is this really Paco Arespacochaga?" Apparently he is. (For those who doesn't know who Paco Arespacochaga is, he's the drummer for the band Introvoys.) He gave a link to their site. Looks like the Introvoys are back together again. And in that site, Paco was mentioning that he was checking some sites that mention them, so I guess, that's why he got to read my post.

Anyway, back in my high school days, I liked the Introvoys. I even bought their albums. I remember they were pitted against another band called Afterimage. I really don't know why. But for me, I like the Introvoys better than Afterimage. I really like their sound and lyrics. And according to their site, they're planning to release a "greatest hits" compilation CD. Though, sadly, the recording companies doesn't think it's worth investing at the moment. So the guys plan to release it through the net. There's still no definite date when it'll be released, but I do like to get my hands on one of those if ever it does get released. Well, you know, I like being nostalgic. ^_^

Move over Bad Boys...

Here's what I can say to the Miami Vice movie... Blam! Blam! Die! Die! Die! Holy $#!+! @#&^*! and so on and so forth. Bad Boys move over... the original bad asses of Miami are back! Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs are back and this time they're really kicking ass. If you think the TV series kicks ass, then I suggest you watch the movie. Thanks to Michael Mann's realistic directing, the movie gets grittier (if there is such a term), more violent and uh... more realistic (?) than its TV counterpart. Though the story is just one of those basic cops-out-to-bust-drug-dealers kind of thing, the movie is dead serious and wonderfully directed. Colin Farell and Jaime Foxx are awesome. I think I didn't see them smile in the movie. This movie is also best seen on the big screen with THX. Aww, heck. I don't really know what else to say. It's just that I'm glad that they didn't goof off this movie (unlike other TV shows that were translated to the big screen. Should I even dare say what?). Just go watch it and see it for yourself!

BANG!
