MI-3: Better Than Caffeine

2006-05-03T00:02:00.000+08:00

I promise I won't squeal any vital spoilers here. I was already sleepy when my soulmate and I reached Cinema 2 of Eastwood City where Tom Cruise's MI-3 had an advanced screening hours ago. It began a bit late, and there were skirmishes between usherettes and couples who got separated because of...

ONE of Russia's most infamous spammers has been found beaten to death in his apartment, prompting thinly veiled jubilation among many of the country’s estimated 14 million internet users.

If Rats Could Talk....

2005-07-22T21:47:00.000+08:00

The ISLAND tackles the concept of discrimination and prejudice using a different angle. Set sometime in the mid-21st century, you will be taken to a period when the rich-and-famous can afford to live longer by creating clones of themselves in the hope of getting an endless supply of body organs and...

Neil Gaiman for President

2005-07-12T05:27:00.000+08:00

Neil Gaiman of the Sandman fame is was in Manila. He was here from July 9 to 11, and he had some amusing comments on his stay here: "In the Philippines, the people are enthusiastic on a level that makes the Brazilians look reserved and polite. They shout very loudly when they're happy, too. There's...

Armed and Dangerous

2005-05-03T00:18:00.000+08:00

Looks neat, huh? It looks so neat I think I'm going to surprise my soulmate with this cool bag as soon as I get it. It is called the Peacekeeper Bag. You can place orders from this website. The main feature of this bag is its vinyl aluminum handle which measures 6" x 4" x 7". It sells for a...

Even Mosquitoes Were Turned On By Ms. Norah Jones

2005-03-13T12:30:00.000+08:00

Soulful. If there's one word to describe what last night's show was, it would be --- soulful. Last night, multi-Grammy winner Norah Jones came and performed for the first time in Manila. The venue was the Araneta Coliseum in remodeled Cubao, Quezon City. I was able to go and watch because of...

My Oscar Bets

2005-02-28T09:25:00.000+08:00

It hasn't started yet (at least, here) and I think I still have time to post my bets for the 77th Academy Awards this year...and check out later how right I am or how miserable a guesser I am. Unlike last year when we all knew that the Lord of the Rings will sweep all the more than ten nominations...

Cool, Clean, and.....how much Caffeine?

2005-01-23T10:06:00.000+08:00

This is C2 or Cool and Clean. If you visit the supermarket regularly (I do my grocering on weekends), I'm sure you have seen this new beverage and its other varieties: lemon, peach, and apple. This was introduced late last year, around October 2004, if I'm not mistaken, and it is advertised as a...

This one was bigger and better than the first Spiderman movie. In this sequel, Spidey comes into terms on the true meaning of a superhero. Is it a blessing or a burden? Here, his personal relationships get into conflict with his super alter-ego, and he must decide whether to just settle for one...

THE DAY ICE TOOK OVER THE EARTH

2004-06-05T06:14:00.000+08:00

Roland Emmerich's third film, "The Day After Tomorrow," tackles so many important environmental and social issues that no one seems to be paying attention to. Or, if indeed someone or somebody is paying attention, no one is listening. As A.O. Scott said in his NYT review: "Some environmental groups...

2004-05-26T01:20:00.000+08:00

Do you still remember the fairy tales of your childhood: Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, Cinderalla, Puss in Boots, Pinocchio, etc?
