Joker Film | Joaquin Phoenix takes us to another level of the Joker character after Heath Ledger’s legendary portrayal

2019-09-02T08:33:00.001+08:00

Another Joker movie is coming our way and Joaquin Phoenix seems to be setting his own record for the film after the late actor Heath Ledger had set standards in the character of Joker.

Ledger made his remarkable acting when he played the role of Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight that is so hard to break because any actor won’t escape in comparison set with him.

The official trailer of the standalone film Joker, helmed by Todd Phillips, has been circulated and you can feel not just the dark side of Joker but how his “dark” has begun. It brings you to that sort of depressing mode that makes you think if you should show pity or not to the villain.

It’s a different movie that even if you compare Phoenix to Ledger, there is this one side that the two are incomparable.

Sure Joker is another “serious” film under the DC Extended Universe unlike Wonder Woman and Aquaman, in which they inserted comedy. It’s so serious that you probably going out the theater wondering if you need some coffee to relieve stress out of your nerves.

It’s ironic that you’re watching Joker who throws his jokes that hurt you instead of make you laugh. You’re aware of it ever since you learn about his character in DC comics, in cartoon, in TV series, and in movies as rival of Batman. You know that Joker doesn’t make fun to make you laugh.

The standalone film Joker starring Phoenix serves you a new flavour of tragedy as it brings you the story you probably have forgotten or never seen before.

Rotten Tomatoes has given the movie an 88% rate, so perhaps some are already thinking if it is worth watching. Rates are just rates until you see the movie yourself to prove them.

In case you fail to remember, Joker is Arthur Fleck. His failure to be a comedian brought him to take the “joke seriously”.

On Phoenix’s portrayal of the role, we can assume that he undoubtedly put so much preparation to bring the character into life. You don’t see Phoenix who played in Gladiator, but rather you see Joker struggling in his life, contemplating his existence.

Director Phillips has surely created it that you’ll forget that he was the director of Hangover trilogy, Road Trip, and Due Date. It’s like he’s taking a break from comedy to give way to the hurtful humour of Joker that will take 2 hours and 2 minutes of sitting and joining Fleck.

Robert de Niro plays Murray Franklin, a TV host who gets up-close and personal with Fleck, with Marc Maron as Ted Marco, Fleck’s agent. Zazie Beetz plays the love interest of Fleck as Sophie Dumond.

As a starter, watch the official trailer of Joker below and judge for yourself.

Big Step toward Progress in Palayan City in Nueva Ecija

2018-07-16T17:33:00.000+08:00

It was Friday afternoon of July 6 when the big change started. We were excited to see our Palayan City local government and the Malaysian conglomerate AlloyMTD Group executives set their foot at the office of Philippine Economic Zone Authority in Taguig.

We know that moment was our time to shine as PEZA Director General Charito Plaza handed to Palayan City Mayor Rianne Cuevas and AlloyMTD Philippines President Nicholas David the Certificate of Registration to formalize Palayan City Government Center and Central Business Hub as an IT Park in a special economic zone.

Sen. Richard Gordon and AlloyMTD Group Chairman Isaac David also witnessed the signing of the Registration Agreement.

The PCBH is the first PEZA-Accredited IT Park in Nueva Ecija. This is made possible with the recommendation of PEZA board directors to create the IT Park pursuant to Republic Act No. 7916, also known as the Special Economic Zone Act of 1996 as amended by RA No. 8748.

We were more grateful when President Rodrigo Duterte issued Proclamation No. 526 creating and designating our 3-hectare land as an IT Park last June 25. As soon as we received the news, we said to ourselves, “This is it!”

It was a little over 4 years when we started constructing PCBH with dreams in our mind. Since 2014, we believe that we can transform Palayan City into a vibrant city. A city where Novo Ecijanos, particularly Palayanos, can enjoy living and working in just a few kilometers away from their home.

We want our locals and those from nearby provinces to easily process their documents in over 10 national government agencies, such as Philippine Overseas Employment Administration, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, Social Security System, and National Bureau of Investigation among others, at the Government Center Building.

To date we have two Business Process Outsourcing and Call Center companies - Sutherland Global Services and ReSourcing Global - that continuously creating new career opportunities in Nueva Ecija.

We also have an educational institution that offers TESDA-accredited courses with a minimum qualification of NC II and a short-term Nihongo (Japaneses language) class.

Not only that, this coming September 2018, we will open our Hotel to receive visitors in our 75 fully furnished rooms. It has commercial spaces, as well as mini mall.

With this remarkable big step toward progress, we would like to thank everyone who help us spread this big news.

To get married or not

2014-04-21T22:38:00.000+08:00

After my first, long-time relationship, it left me single for almost 1 year and 4 months now and still counting. The first month was really hard because I thought I could still bring him back into my life until I found out the truth that he was falling in love with another woman even before he broke up with me. Just for the record, he’s not what you think a cheater and an a**hole. We had wonderful 5 years of memories I could cherish forever but I chose not to treasure it so I can completely move on and get over him. He took care of me and loved me; however, things just fell apart.

I watched the Season 4 finale of The Walking Dead only after two weeks it was shown (and I know this post is way too late but still give it a shot). I avoided spoilers, but of course how could I when this famous TV series is a talk of the town? It was like everywhere I browse, everybody was talking about the last episode of the season.

It was really a hassle to manual format the interior, but it was all worth it.

However, I should have announce a day later than my target date. Next time, I know what to do.

Why Breakup Should not Break You, out this February

2014-02-01T13:43:00.000+08:00

After months of thinking what book to publish, I finally have one to release this month. The time when Miley Cyrus did the twerking, this random thought had popped in my head “Why breakup should not break you”. The changes both in her image and her performance quite made me think she’s hurting because of the breakup with Liam Hemsworth. While I’m not sure if the changes are because of that devastated event of her life, I believe not only her undergo with those changes after a relationship cuts off.

Writing may be my professional career, and sometimes I wonder if this is really my passion. Indeed, it is in a portion of my heart and mind that writing is the profession I want to pursue up to date although I know I am not really good at it, considering that my English is not that perfect. (Anyway, education is a continuous process, so I better keep on learning the language.) This profession also leads me to thinking about my skills apart from the letters that I have to write on paper and word processor.
