DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: DISNEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL & THE TWILIGHT SAGA NEW MOON

2009-11-30T07:36:00.004+08:00

We saw 'DISNEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL' in 3D at SM Mall of Asia, Cinema 3 Digital Cinema yesterday Nov. 29, 2009 Sunday. A revisit to the timeless Charles Dickens classic...I must've seen countless version of it including Pinoy versions but this Robert Zemeckis version is innovative, artistic and fun. It's another 3D movie that attracts the whole family to see it in theaters instead of buying bootleg copies from Quiapo. The use of 3D is extraordinary, the CGI-characters' facial expressions are more refined now than those seen in previous Robert Zemeckis films such as 'Polar Express' and even 'Beowulf'.

My ratings 5 out of 5 Biscuits !

Finally, after a week in theater run, we saw THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON' at SM Mall of Asia Nov. 29, 2009 Sunday. I've read the movie reviews and they said the movie was boring. To me, well, it's quite good actually. Bella must be the luckiest human girl alive, she got a Vampire lover and a Werewolf lover! I think Frankenstein's monster will be her next lover in part 3 ! Kidding aside, it's a timeless tale of love triangle where one is the 'panakipbutas', Edward went away to Rio de Janiero thinking it will do Bella more good than harm and to fill the void of Bella's emptiness is the presence of the Hulkman Jacob Black. Chessy lines after chessy lines ensue which is a good thing, it's a nice touch away from the Vincent Price and Bela Lugosi monster flicks, and it does gave girls something to shrill on, I must have heard a dozen shrills inside the theater.

My rating is 3 out 5 Biscuits.

RESORTS WORLD MANILA Scene : Picture Taking is PROHIBITED INSIDE & OUTSIDE the Premises (Head Scratch) Duh !

2009-11-26T17:38:00.007+08:00

We had lunch buffet (again!) at Mercado inside Resorts World Manila, my 5th time actually. I haven't had any pictures taken outside of the resort with the Resorts World logo so I got my handy Nokia N95 for some outdoors shot. Upon seeing the iconic Resorts World logo atop the still under-construction building I pose readily for some souvenir shots when the guard waved at me suggesting photoshoots aren't allowed. The hell? I am outside of your premises right? and why the restriction ? Okay, I could realize that the building is still under construction and it might prematurely be reported (and blogged) if they are behind or ahead of schedule. But I also realize that by posting photos of those unfinished construction in the internet I am also helping them by making some free commercialization of the upcoming resort. Case in point, the facebook of Resorts World Sentosa Singapore has published numerous photos of early construction work of the upcoming Universal Studios Singapore. By doing so they are attracting numerous tourist early on. Why can't we just do the same? Why restrict specially us bloggers by not taking photos ? Aren't we indirectly marketing it ? Duh !?

The guard in white waved to me suggesting picture taking is not allowed but I ignored him anyway.

Another guard in white uniform looks at our photo-shoot almost wanting to restrict us for doing the shot hence my facial reaction in the photo

Picture taking inside Mercado also not allowed since it's located just across the poker tables and slot machines. Just pretend your texting on your celphone camera and just fire away on the clicker!

MANNY PACQUIAO Tested NEGATIVE on ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE by the Nevada Athletic State Comission (MIGUEL COTTO Aftermath) - Nov. 25, 2009

2009-11-25T20:07:00.003+08:00

There you have it folks, it is confirmed that Floyd Mayweather Sr. is suffering from Manny-Pacquiao-Envy-Syndrome. Okay, seriously, Manny Pacquiao showed negative results for 40 illegal substances via urine and blood samples by the Nevada Athletic State Comission. Floyd Mayweather, Sr. , Paulie Malignaggi and Kermit Crinton previously criticized the Pacman on using illegal substances or power-enhancing drugs. Obviously all are just hearsays and without basis. Actually the explanation for that is pure jealousy.

DCRJ on lunch buffet at Mercado's at Resorts World Manila (My 4th time) Nov. 24, 2009

2009-11-24T18:06:00.007+08:00

Having lunch at Mercado's at the Resorts World Manila is now a habit of mine, my 4th time actually. Well, first of all lunch buffet is affordable compared to other lunch buffet in the Metro. Secondly, it's a good choice for inviting family members and friends without draining too much out of my own wallet. Thirdly, the ambiance is typically Las Vegas with the sight of numerous slot machines and poker tables. The only downside of this affordable buffet is that you tend to overeat which is not really healthy in my case. But I see to it that I get to have lots of fruits and salads, less on the meat and other carbs on the menu. The ice cream area is truly inviting with choices of 5 flavors plus a variety of toppings to satisfy your sweet cravings. I did missed out on some tasty-looking soups which my stomach capacity could no longer accomodate it. We did try out some of the slot machines after lunch but I am quite skeptic on its generosity to bestow some tokens, this is a computerized machine and quite prone to manipulation by computer-savvy personnels in my opinion. Gone are the days where you slide in coins and the actual sounds of coins coming out of the machine upon winning the correct lines. We also tried out the horse racing betting machine where you bet on a computerized horse via a touch-screen button on the monitor. We did lose two hundred bills on those machine bandits but had fun. Other areas inside the Resorts World are still under construction, it looks promising though and it's something we will be looking forward to in the near future.

MANNY "Pac Man" PACQUIAO leaves Jimmy Kimmel Live with unknown woman!

2009-11-18T05:26:00.009+08:00

The price of being a celebrity in the U.S., our beloved Manny Pacquiao has been a recent target by those paparrazi hounds in the U.S.

CelebrityNationVids managed to take a footage of Manny Pacquiao leaving the Jimmy Kimmel show with an unknown woman. The thing is, the woman is covering her face while the videographer is filming

From celebritynationsvids : "I caught boxing champion Manny Pac Man Pacquiao leaving the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. Manny didn't bother to sign for about 70 fans that were there to show there support for him. He was with a woman that wasn't his wife so thats probably why he didnt stop!"

Snapshot of the video

I don't want to insinuate but the woman's head-shape is similar to the woman below (currently being tagged in Philippine tabloids)

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: 2012

2009-11-16T11:07:00.003+08:00

We saw '2012' at the SM cinemas, SM Mall of Asia right after the Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto also at the same cinema.

2012, directed by Roland Emmerich, is another apocalyptic destruction of planet Earth with visual destructions of popular landmarks around the globe.

First the synopsis just like any other movie reviews, the Earth's core temperature is about to burst due to the alignment of all the planets thus causing heat build-up. Maybe because of global warming? And...well, that's about it. Oh, there's those metallic arks just like in Noah's Ark except that they are made of metal. Those metallic arks were build out of big-shot billionaire's funding, 1 million euros worth plus a single ticket to be included inside the ark.

The film is lengthy with spectacular special effects. Expect just that, all CG effects goodness while character developments are incongruous making hard, at least for me, to care for them. Main characters seem to take a front seat to witness the destruction of buildings, roads, highways and all infrastructures for their convenience and for the moviegoers' convenience while they fly away on a small aircraft. The main characters always managed to escape from fireballs spewing down, road cracks, black smokes just in a nick of time. It often felt unrealistic and was obviously done for film action magnitude.

The billionaire's thick Russian accent is annoying and so is the pilot's. The film managed to include humor along with the ride but it's mawkish and not amusing. I was totally bored with its lengthy action sequences despite its amazing special effects, I was kind of hoping for more emotional impacts in character progression but it only left me with just a list of soulless characters some died and some remain alive, who cares ?

I have seen a lot of apocalyptic destruction in the movies such as Earthquake, The Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day...disaster films like The Towering Inferno, Poseido Adventure...name it and I have seen it. 2012 is no exception, it's been done before and I think I'll gonna puke on this one for having seen what has already been done before.

DCRJ on watching the MANNY PACQUIAO vs. MIGUEL COTTO 'Firepower' Fight at SM Cinema

2009-11-16T04:57:00.013+08:00

We saw Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto billed as 'Firepower' inside a cinema at the SM Mall of Asia Nov. 15, 2009, a Sunday noon. It's the next big thing in watching the fight live at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, after all, it has no commercial breaks as you see in local TV channels. A Pacquiao fight is always an event for us and a bonding time for my family and relatives, and we always get some photo-ops with the Rexona models assigned in each cinema booth giving away free Rexona deodorants...see pics below

It's incredibly amazing how so much honor was brought by Manny Pacquiao to every Filipinos. Seeing the Philippine flag with Manny's name made me prouder to be a Filipino. Introductory video sequence before the fight showed some of the historical and fire-powered fights with the likes of Hearns, Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard and Muhammad Ali which suggested a prelude to another upcoming fire-powered fight. We have witnessed history-in-the-making similar to those fights in the past such as Ali-Frazier trilogy, Hearns vs. Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Roberto Duran. It's also like a fitting tribute to those past legends when in fact Roberto Duran was there at ringside. I recalled his 'No Mas No Mas' (no more, no more) utterance during their Sugar Ray Leonard days.

The 'Eye of the Tiger', theme song of Rocky III, was played during the entrance of Team Pacquiao. Will that be a prelude to a Manny Pacquiao and Sylvester Stallone movie ?

Manny Pacquiao did the Rope-A-Dope technique popularized by legendary Muhammad Ali not to tire Cotto out but was used by Manny to gauge the body shots of Cotto, it's also one way to get Cotto unaware which was the case, Manny retaliated with a fast right hook sending Cotto to the floor. Muhammad Ali's style of dancing around the ring was imitated by Cotto but dancing not to punch but dancing away from Manny's punches.

Manny Pacquiao incredibly demolished a much bigger and stronger opponent and still managed to perform 8 songs in a concert after the fight. It's not the size that really matter ain't it? Didn't I told you that Manny Pacquiao is the new 'Bruce Lee' ? backread my blog :) The ability to adjust to any opponent big or small is the philisophy of Bruce Lee, Manny Pacquiao has that, physiquely-wise Manny has that too, almost the same physique of Bruce Lee. Nice to know that the Philippines is back on a positive note in today's headlines, in fact the Philippines is now known as 'Manny Pacquiao country'. Congrats to the idol of the world, Manny Pacquiao. He is the first boxer to obtain 7 Titles in 7 different weight divisions.
