On Percy Jackson, Julie & Julia, etc

I gotta say, this movie was better than I thought it would be. Or maybe because I didn't give it too much thought until I was handed the free tickets. (By the way, thanks to 20th Century for the free tix.) I've been seeing the books in bookstore for the longest time but I thought it was like a Harry Potter copycat coz the book cover sure looks like Harry Potter's. Well, the concept of half-blood is there. In HP it's called muggles, in Percy Jackson it's called demi-gods. Oh yeah, instead of wizards, there's Greek gods and myths in there. Sounds interesting, eh? The movie was entertaining, it has its moments and I'm actually interested in reading the series. :)

I've watched Meryl Streep movies on dibidi, like, two weeks ago. I just couldn't wait. And once again, she deserves to win the Oscar's this year. As much as I want Sandra Bullock to have her moment, Streep's performance in Julie & Julia was just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The movie wasn't the best, but her acting is on a totally different level. It's just superb!!! Watch It's Complicated (I feel like she was playing herself with that movie. Lol), then just right after that, watch Julie & Julia and you'll just be amazed by her. Then go back to one of her old movies, Postcards from the Edge, and you'll end up wondering if she's a real person. She's bigger than life. I love her!!!

A friend also gave me a dibidi of The Lovely Bones. It will be released in cinemas next week, but I checked the first few minutes of the movie when he gave it to me but the copy is pretty really clear. Well, it was released in the US earlier this year (was it? It was, right?) I'm so tempted to pop that dibidi in the player, but I want to watch it (for the first time) on the big screen. I've been waiting for the movie the moment I flipped the last page of the book. Fine, fine. I'll wait for it on the big screen. Ilang tulog nalang!

It's the Oscar season again. What sucks is that some of the movies won't be shown in the big screen until after the award show is over. But..but...but...I have friends who already have the movies. So, it's burn-me-a-DVD season. Yeah, I do piracy, sue me!

Ooops, I take that back. Please don't! Lol. :))
