Domabaem Review

Yet again, a friend coerced me to buy this Korean movie in Ruins (by the way I also scored Omerta by Puzo for a ridiculously low price of 85 bucks) since I so wanted to kill the time yesterday Sunday before I actually go to sleep.

Anyway, this movie is about two kids who met back in time when dating should not even touch their kiddy cute heads. The girl is a wierdo who says she has a 'curse' so she wears a canary yellow rain coat all the time so to protect the people around her. She also claims to be an alien and in the near future aliens will abduct her or something so she could be sent back to her home... or something like that.

Of all her classmates, only one kid is not afraid of her. And they instantly become friends. After hanging out a lot and having dibs on the 'curse' of the girl after (YET AGAIN) another Korean rain scene, the girl went away because she's guilty of having caused pain to her only friend.

Essentially, the boy looked for the girl but failed since it's hard to find someone who doesn't want to be found. After some years, when they're in High School, they met up again. Like old times they hung out and had a lot of cheesy scenes where the guy cajoles her endlessly using sushi and other cheesy stuff.

Anyway, after all the cheesy shit, the girl got all giddy and kissed the guy, so the guy ended up in a Hospital again. So the girl, pretty torn up, ended up running away again. Oh, man! Ok, so after 8 years, out of the blue, the girl shows up again, and here the tear jerker moments start...

The movie is good, I mean, great, save for a few cheesy shit that inevitably comes in the way. The story is quite unique and very touching, especially the scenes halfway the movies. I admit that sometimes, I have no heart (lols), but I was touched. And yeah, I almost cried like a little girl in Backstreet boys concert on that climax scenes.

Watch it!

PS: And time and time again, in every single Korean movie I watched, there's always and always will be a friggin' rain scene and piggy back rides. As in ALWAYS. WHY I ask, WHY? Lols.

The Classic

Korean Movies or Shows almost always put a rain scene on their movies with the lead characters running in the rain. AND they're not bothered that they are getting soaked but they are... er, kinikilig.

Then I remembered Sassy Girl where the dude was saying something about how the Koreans were touched by this story where the girl asked the people who will bury her to get the sweater of her love in her burial or something. I've researched about this because I was bothered by the Korean's attachment to rain and I found this link - http://www.pusanweb.com/writings/fiction/index.htm?/writings/fiction/, - it is the short story that touched every Korean according to the Sassy Girl dude.

Anyway, after ten minutes of reading that tiresome passage, I've come to realize that every single Korean media that I've watched contained a scene with rain and piggy back rides. I've realized too that it was like Filipino's liking to movies that will always almost have a dance scene in the middle (in comedy), a conversation between the hero and the antagonist of an action film before they kill each other, or the action hero will jump on top of a waterfall towards his logically impending doom but survives the ordeal and many more.

Yeah, it's like a culture thing. Anyway, this movie is somewhat good and since I've read the synopsis because I thought Dianne's DVD is not working, I know what will happen so I am not that shocked. But if I ever did not read that damn synopsis, I could have been touched. Lol.

Nostalgia!

Almost done with Crisis Core, the only item in the FF7 compilation that means anything. What I mean is that it is really tied with FF7, not simple cameos that fail to stroke the embers of nostalgia.

I really felt like a little girl in a Backstreet Boys concert when I saw Nibelheim - you know, Cloud's hometown. Everything just feels right. The water depot spot where Cloud and Tifa cuddle... er, hang out. The Shinra Mansion with every room reconstructed to 3D form. And many more... I've been scouring the net for quite a while for FF7 pre-rendered backgrounds and its Crisis Core counterpart, and man, it was really the same thing! Well, only 3D.

Of course, I know the FF7 story wholeheartedly, and I can tell you its entirety while sleeping, but seeing the stellar story on another perspective is really great. Of course, with the addition of Crisis Core, a lot of debates will ensue, because, honestly, like any other media universe, when a single plot of a story is updated, it will be somewhat distorted... it will be jumbled... take, hmm, X-Men for example. Yeah, stupid alternate universes, new teams, sub teams - the works. And it boils down to your capacity to intertwine the goddamn stories in this single universe, now add up other Marvel characters in the mix and you have a whole new encyclopedia of stories to amalgate.

Anyway, Crisis Core is a really great, wonderful thing. It adds up to one of the greatest, if not greatest story out there perfectly.

All I can say is its really stupid to have a character who kicks major 20 foot monster ass to die because of gunshot from a friggin' old school rifle!

Thanks SquareEnix!

Juno

Watched Juno last night. It's a great movie. Funny and witty at the same time. Movies like these are pretty rare in nowadays.

Juno is the story of, well, Juno, a 16 year old Junior who got pregnant. She considered abortion but got cold feet when she got to the abortion place. Then with the help of her best friend, Juno decided to let some nice couple to adapt the child. This move, for me is so selfless and if ever this Juno character is real, I'd have big respect for her.

Anyway, along with the course of her pregnancy, Juno's struggling to fight the feelings for the father of her child which she doesn't know was there. The guy, obviously, is in love with Juno though he doesn't want to admit it. He soon began planning on dating a girl whom Juno said that would be a perfect match for him, but when the time came that he actually did date the girl, Juno got pissed off... well, that's one of the corny, cliched part but it's acceptable.

Juno also began friendship with the couple who would adopt the child, especially Mark, the guy. They both have tastes for classic punk and gore movies. This is the part I didn't quite get - near the end of the movie, Mark dumped his wife, Vanessa because he says he wasn't ready. This was after when Mark said one time that the CD they were listening (and dancing along with it) to was the track played during Mark's prom... Ok, I don't know if Mark has taken a liking to Juno, a 16 year old... it's creepy.

Anyway, after a big fight, Juno left a note on the ex couple's door telling Vanessa that if she still wants the baby, she's in. Then she delivered the child and left it to Vanessa and Juno took strength to admit to the child's father that she love-love him and they lived happily ever after.

Big love!

Haha, langya, dahil sa pamimilit ng aking baduy na ama, napapanood ako ng Big Love. Pakdat! Pero ok lang nakakatawa, pero masiyadong mahaba. Chaka napakapredictable ng storya.

Shet, di na ako cool.

Dear John...

Since Linda is leaving the PH back to California, she gave us her things - Coffee maker, blender, dvds, books. Since I am a big fan of books, I got a couple books from her. The first one is a Nicholas Sparks novel, Dear John. It's my first time reading a Sparks novel and I know that it will be too girly for my tastes, but I read on nonetheless.

I've never read anything cheesier than this - words like 'forever' and 'arms' are countlessly used in this book. It really is super cheesy that I smile in annoyance whenever I read lines from the book that is so cheesy, it's amazing. And this is coming from an army grunt no less. Haha. I have no idea why I finished this book, maybe I enjoyed it? Nah...

Ok, so this book is so simple - John, an Army grunt, met a girl Savannah whom he fell in love with in a matter of two weeks during John's summer vacation; now, how annoying is that? Ok, so from that third paragraph first sentence, you'd make out that it's about the struggles of a long distance relationship.

At any rate, the book is an easy read. I will not elaborate on the story but I'll tell you, it is so predictable and not at all touching... well, for me.

Never met arms like yours.

Love in the time of Cholera is a (heartbreaking) novel by Gabriel Marquez it's about the undying love of a man for the love of his life. He has held on his true love for more than fifty years. Waited painfully until he is in the inevitability of old age.

I have never read a novel so heartwarming and depressing at the same time as this one, but still, it's a very good read. Though this novel may not suit everyone with regards to its literary style and writing. But digesting every words in this novel may very well be the best experience you will ever have.

The story is superbly crafted, with the battle of Florentino against his lost love ensuing beautifully. His battle against life and its challenges are carefully planned, every bits and pieces of history woven together to build this masterpiece. It's not my cup of tea as far as literary choice is concerned, but given with Marquez's talent, I'd gladly read another heartwarming piece such as this one.

Martian Child.

It's movies like this that keeps kleenex on the business.

I have read the novel (short novel ata) way back and it touched the heart. Especially since I also have father issues albeit not the one like the movie.

Anyway, the story is about a dude who writes sci-fi novels for a living. He is a widower and he's left with no child from his deceased wife. So, essentially, he is lonely. Then he decides, not listening to his sister's rants about parenting, to adopt one.

One child caught his attention: A child who's firm on his decision that he is a Martian. He sits inside a box all day for he has an ongoing battle with the sun and its glare. After getting a (I don't know the term for this) Trial period from the adoption house, dude decides to take on parenthood to the next level. He really wants this child to be his legally.

Of course, parenthood has its pros and cons, the kid, although smart, has his share of social problems which dude tries to cope with. In time, they grew closer and closer and finally, dude got the ok signal to have the child.

Later, the kid decided that he needs to go back to Mars. This was after having a big fight with dude. In the end...

Well I don't want to spoil it. Just watch the movie, it's good. :)

Chuck and Larry Review.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've had a lot of laughs in a movie
since... I can't remember. This movie has delivered and not because
of the gay-oriented bashings, but how things were delivered.

For the record, I am not a movie fan of Adam Sandler because all he
does is make funny noises and make himself look ridiculous to be funny.
But in this movie, he delivered.

The guys at Happy Madison really scored big time in this. I remember those extras well for they have appeared in countless Adam Sandler or Rob Schnieder movies. Just a trivia, Happy Madison is from one of the first movies of Sandler - Happy Gilmore and Something Madison.

Anyway, this movie is about well, Chuck and Larry. They are best friends till the end and they are macho Firemen. Wtf? Ok, so Sandler is this huge celebrity in the Fire extingushing world because he appears in Calendars and stuff. Then his bestfriend is just the average bestfriend who can't move on after his wife's passing away. He has two kids and one of them is gay... er, do I have to mention that?

Anyway, after a Fire broke out in some part of town and both of them came out injured, Larry had a realization - no one would take care of his two kids if he bites the dust. So he researched about parenting priveledges and stuff, and since Chuck owes him big time, Chuck gave in on his demand that they should have Domestic Partnership because Larry couldn't find a woman whom she can trust.

Ok, so the fun begins as they cover up as a gay couple. They have to appear as the gayest couple they can be. They bought gay records, redecorated homes and stuff. Of course, things won't go on all the way in their way, investigators will come and inspect if they are really gay. This guy from independece day (the lunatic one) stars as the inspector who investigates Chuck and Larry's trash bin for signs that they are gay enough.

So, they had to have an attorney to confide in issues about their gay partnership. Unfortunately, a super hot Jessica Biel was their attorney whom Chuck cannot get his eyes off. Well, who can't, with those rock hard abs, er... ok enough with that. So things went on pretty rough as Chuck begins to massa... er, fall for Jessica. I thought the gay-friend-get-free-access-to-girl-friends work only here in the Philippines, but apparently, I am wrong, it also works in the west.

They have to fortify their relationship so they got married in Vegas, I think.

Ok, so long story short, then comes the trial. Feelings got mixed up and all hell breaks loose as signs shows up that they weren't gay. In the end, of course, they lose the case, but they were pardoned for doing the most noble thing.

The lesson here is not the gay bashing but standing up for your friend, yes, if I have a best friend and he would ask me that - well, hell friggin' no, but I would help him. Because we're buddies. Unfortunately, I have no guy best friend and if I ever had, I am only twenty one and I our age cannot have children, can't we?

Ok, this is going nowhere, so... just watch it.

Evan Almighty.

Watched Evan Almighty a while ago.

Carell is one of my favorite comedians and he delivers in this one, but the main problem of this movie is its STORY which is unconventional to the point of stupidity.

Give this STORY to other actors and it will fail - miserably. Yeah, well, the story is about Evan Baxter, the reporter guy from Bruce Almighty. He has become a Congressman and his campaign platform is Change the world. Now, God, played by Morgan Freeman, went down to Baxter and gave him tools to make an Ark.

Now, the ark, as we all know, is a story from the Bible starring Moses. Yeah, now what happens is a nasty amalgam of Politics, Bible and Handicraft TV.

Carell is a good comedian and he is the gem of this story. Sigh, this movie sucks, that's what I want to tell you.

Got to go.

Swansong for Potter.

The Potter books, combined, is a sweet amalgam of fun, mystery, and reading pleasures. I have read them some book series - Vampire Chronicles, Dune, Lord of the Rings, but for me, nothing compared to the feeling I had after I finished book 7. Though it pulled a few pages from LOTR, it still gave the story a fresher feel versus the mediocre releases from the previous years.

Once I read a book, I just put it back in my shelf, almost always not bothering to read it again. There are a few books that makes me read it all over again. And the series will be put among those. The series starts off as a simple kid's book - A battle between good and evil with a weak protagonist who has a weapon nobody sees. Though that story line has been consumed by many writers to the point of gluttony, the series made it feel, for lack of an appropriate word - fresh.

I read the first book when I was a kid (Almost 10 years ago), and yes, kids were Jo's first target audience. But as soon as the series progresses, it became more mature, darker and better than the predecessors and what I liked about it is I also grew with the series. As I become more mature, Harry, Ron and Hermione became bolder and better too.

The simple story wove into an intricate masterpiece. The themes were hearty, nice and pleasant. Funny scenes punctuated almost every chapter. Jo's style never gets old. She really is a master of her craft.
The twists were great. And it's great to know that the fan base's theory were almost always correct.

After 7 books, after all those hours I've spent reading it. After the years I've waited. It's done. And it cannot be ended by any other way. The ending was just so spectacular - it almost brought tears to my eyes. At the same time, I was glad - it's finally done. But the excitement of waiting for another release is gone. No more speculating what happens, no more guesses, it is all out - the secrets, the lies, the revelations. The ending was fitting for a great story. And that's all. I could have wished Jo could have written it longer, but I would not. The book was full of action from page 1 up to the last page.

As I close your doors Hogwarts, I want to say thanks for the great piece of literature that will be forever embedded in my life. The past generation had LOTR, and ours has Potter.

As a fan who grew with the series - I could never ask for more.

Thanks you Potter, thank you Jo.

PS
The last Potter book is the best. I don't want it to expand, I don't want it to do some rehases, like some other books (or movies) I know. Ahem, Mr. Lucas. Ahem, Mr.Tolkien. Just stay as a 7-part book.

Order of the Phoenix review.

Yeah, though I hate book to movie adaptations, yours truly watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix last night.

As expected, the plot is super riddled with ridiculous loop holes. I especially hate it when people around me ask the people they are with questions like - "Diba yun yung..." or when someone will correct their oblivious friends with a stupid answer they only got from the previous movies which, of course, is wrong in delivering facts as well.

As an example of these scenarios which makes me lose interests in these movies is when a couple a row behind me was arguing who the hell that goblin-like creature was. One said it was Dobby (the house elf of the Malfoys in the previous iterations of the book) while the other said, giving up (obviously not knowing the answer), said it was fuggin' "My precious". Obviously, he didn't know Kreacher and obviously, he only watched the LOTR movie to miss Gollum's name as "My precious".

Sigh, people never change. If it is the fad, they'll go watch it. I know it is the goal of the author's to bring their books to mainstream but when it goes to the movies, some of the essense of the book is washed off.

I found lots of it in this movie. One of them was when the D.A. (of course, poser movie goers will not know this acronym because it was only mentioned once in the movie) was discovered. Right folks, it's when DUMBOLDORE'S ARMY was discovered. It was not Cho Chang (of course, posers don't know her last name is Chang) who divulged the secret to Dolores Umbridge. It was Cho's friend Marietta.

For obvious reasons, (if you happen to read the books you'll know) that the movie made Cho talk about it because she has no longer any use in the next book because Harry's love interest will be Ginny. It was a perfect way to get rid of her. So the oblivious "fans" who only knew the story from movies will raise their heads up and say - "Ay, kaya wala na si Cho kasi nga diba chinuchuchu niya yung Dumboldore Army?"

Well, all in all, the movie is entertaining at the least. I can piss you around by telling how it did not remain faithful to the books but hell, I won't. Basta, there are lots of stupid story loopholes that cannot easily get away.

If I were you, read the books instead and get angry at those CAPITALIST bastards from WB.

Jeez.

Autobots, watch the movie!

Watched the Transformers movie this weekend and all I got was a headache. Chaos was everywhere. Hahaha.

Kidding aside, the movie is well made. My only gripe is the robot's appearance. They did not remain faithful to the old school Transformers (especially Megatron).

The story? We heard this one before. Some alien race wanting this certain object that once held, will make them invincible or something. Then some good force will stop them. Of course, on their search for this thing, they will wind up on earth.

All in all, the movie is good except for the cheesy, predictable parts where the boy meets this (shallow) girl and it's all goody-goody-love-love.

Of course, many of us will watch this because of the hype. Hahaha. Next week, Harry Potter will be on theatres, again, because of the hype, everyone will watch this even if they haven't even touched a Potter book before.

Sigh, media.

Isn't it fantastic, telefantastic?

Watched Fantastic 4 last weekend at Glorietta. All I can say is it is (way) better than Spiderman 3. Though I haven't read Fantastic 4 when I was a kid, I was still thrilled. And of course, at the end of the movie, (like all Marvel Movies) there will be an invitable sequel.

It would be nice if we saw Galactus emerge, but hey, I guess it's better if we save that for later. The silver surfer dude was not as cool when he first came out years back, but hey, he still kicks minor ass.

Ok, the story. Like other super heroes, the 4 tries their hardest to juggle super hero antics to their normal life. (or the other way around) This holds especially for the Invisible woman and Mr. Fantastic, who are getting married by the way. Then on the midst of their wedding day, a silver thingy landed from outerspace with a sole mission of destroying earth, blah, blah... you know, the kind that all villains do - make hard for us earthlings.

I don't have a grudge against alien villains but why the hell they always choose earth. Why not Mars? Ok, this destroy-earth mission is because of Galactus, a super villain who controls other villains, or so what the others who really knew Fantastic 4 comics by heart say. Anyways, he controls Silver Surfer, he is a well, Silver man who surfs. I don't know who invented surfing here in earth but aliens seem to have discovered surfing way, way back that they have installed cool blur like effects on their board, installed mechanisms that makes the board (and the surfer) pass through solid materials and stuff.

Ok, so this Silver surfing dude is out to destroy the earth so that his big boss could eat our little green earth. To do this, he has to riddle earth with craters. I don't know why he does this but he is the only one capable of doing so. He does this because Galactus told him and he holds Silver surfer's people hostage or something. Now, imagine that, a planet filled with Silver people surfing on Silver boards that pass through matter. Cool. It's like a planet full of Oscar trophies, only silver.

Of course, in the end, being the heroes that they are, they defeated Dr. Doom (who tried to control the surf thing making him to look more ridiculously stupid) and made the surfer battle against Galactus. Of course, Galactus is super kick ass that he will come back in the Four's third outing.

Anyways, this movie is great. Better than Spiderman! Woo! But I know, if I read F4, I will be pissed at this movie, but hey, it's still great nonetheless.

Review.

Pirates

With all the hype and all, I decided to buy a DVD that includes the trilogy of this movie. I have to say that the movie is pretty enertaining. Well, that's about it.

Shrek

The thrid movie, for me, lost its charm. Shrek movies are the only Disney CG movie I EVER watched so seeing the third one made me realize that I would never ever watch kiddie Disney movies.

Weekend

Amf na weekend to, ang onti ng tulog ko at puro kalokohan at pagkaloser ang ginawa ko. Hahah.

Monday

Langya, nawawala yung libro kong Post Mortem dito sa desk ko sa office. Mabaog sana kumuwa non.

Parker is Emo.

Watched Spiderman 3 movie yesterday. Well, all I can say is the plot is riddled with ambiguities and holes and that it did not remain faithful to the comics.

The movie is toooo long. I was almost bored, but I endured. All in all, it's a cool movie, but it is just way too long. The action wane a little bit in the end and they should have cut it and made it a little short.

Well, I don't know if it is just me, but did you saw DAYANARA TORES there? In the crane scene with Gwen Stacy? (In the movie, Stacy is Parker's lab mate, when in the comics, she was his co-employee at the bugle. She was one of his love interests in the comics, including JJJameson's secretary.)

And oh, Stan Lee made yet again, another cameo here. Just like in all the Marvel movies and Heroes. Lol. Speaking of Heroes, shet, the latest episode kicks major butt! Wow.

Hahaha.

---

Okay, after 2 days, I realized that Spider man 3 sucks. Well, I've seen the trailer at TV once again and all I can say is it really sucks. Okay, let me iterate why.

1) Venom, one of my all time favorite villains, died instantly. They made the movie so long that they had to have to kill the main villain instantly.

2) Plot is riddled with holes. Come on, Sandman's origin is not on that freak accident. And Osbourne's son doesn't fly around on a ski boardin a black suit with f'n Batman claws on the side.

3) Parker is an Emo kid. Complete with eyeliners and greasy hair. An Emo dancing kid. Hahah. TF!?

Stainless Longanisa Review.

Forced myself to finish, yet again, another Bob Ong book entitled: Stainless Longanisa. This is Bob Ong's 5th book. This book bored me to death, I finished it for just the sake of finishing it. It is, yet again, another parody of Philippine Society and (hints of) politics viewed with Bob Ong's eyes.

His first book was, I think, the best one, mainly because, it felt original. But after reading Bob Ong book, after another Bob Ong book, it felt boring and old. Jokes are corny and sometimes uncomprehendable. What the hell happened in this book?

If you have like, 3 hours of time available and you've got nothing to do except boring yourself to sleep, this book is for you. Pwe. :)

Neverwhere Book Review

Done reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman last night. Well, the book is really fresh for me because fantasy books aren't really my cup of tea.

Anyways, the book is about alternate reality that the protagonist, Richard Mayhew didn't thought actually exist. From the reviews, they said that the book is like a modern world Alice in Wonderland, which is true. But in this case, there are no Chesire cats and Rabbits. No cutey-cutey characters. This is like Alice in Wonderland on steroids.

The story is about Richard Mayhew, a typical Londoner - braving everyday work, a not satisfying, high maintenance relationship, and daily personal struggles. He's living his mediocre life when one day he encounters a bloodied girl on the street, being the modern samaritan that he is, he helped the girl shoving his fiancee aside together with their engagement. But helping this girl was only the beginning. Richard then embarks on a quest to fight for his life and to regain his reality back, which in the end, he really doesn't want.

The book, in it's entirety is a good read. Lot's of twists and turns, nice characters that will really grow on you. It is refreshing and it's really a recommended read.

The weekend it was.

Pimp my kwarto.

Lols, Sunday was so boring that I decided to do a semi-general cleaning of my room. Here are the before and after pictures. Notice how skweeky clean it is now? Yeah, no dust was left and all my books and stuff were arranged.

I even licked my desk and I tasted no dust! Joke.

:)

MOA sucks.

Friday, after work, I went to MOA to look for the merchandise I'm going to sell for tipid PC (for extra income lang). Getting taxi was hell. And it wasted me precious several hours. I believe I arrived at MOA at exactly 9:00pm. So, time is a luxury I can't afford to lose.

I scoured and scoured until my feet felt the defeat. My attempt was futile because the prizes there were ranging from 40k above. And it was already late, and I decided to try SM Southmall the following day instead.

Outside MOA, I had a hard time getting a taxi. Then I spotted one. The driver (naive face put on) told me that it is getting late then asked me the price I'm willing to offer, I told him "Ewan ko", then he suggested that he would get me to Las Pinas for, hold your breath, a whopping 400 pesos. If you could only see his face as he tried to coax me into his little trap. I smiled and just said, "ay wag na!"

I arrived home, defeated and tired. Tomorrow, will be a new day.

SM Southmall.

Ok, I woke up with a fresh start. I went down and played a little, the ate breakfast. At exactly 10:30, I went to SM. I went the 3rd floor to the gizmo sections and I spotted they were selling the machine I was looking for for 24k! Yeah! 24k! So I told the saleslady to hold on and I would withdraw the money.

I went back after like, 15 minutes, (there were some SWAT team downstairs and they halted me, they thought I was a criminal or something) then the lady just smiled at me and said : "E, sir, wala po kami istak." What the fuck... she was like smiling at the whole ordeal. Imagine, she told me what I will be getting, etcetera etcetera, all that bull and she forgot one little thing - If they have the friggin' stock!

Crap. I've withdrew a big amount and all (I also thought I was going to be shoot at), then this is what I get? Well, they asked me if they could get my number so they would text me if the stocks arrived. I just walked out on them.

Well, I'm pretty much defeated so I decided to watch Rocky Balboa.

The review:

Rocky has been a hero for me since childhood. I remember the guys from our neighborhood calling me that after I beat the crap out of a larger opponent (Hi John!), when I was a kid. Yeah, I have no fear and stuff. Only when I was bomarded by a gazillion bees because I destroyed their hives (Well, that is a different story).

Anyways, Rocky Balboa is about the life of the retired heavy weight champion Rocky. His wife is dead and his son is away from home working. He only has this restaurant and a humble life. Well, knowing that he was a world champ and all, I was surprised he is not filthy rich. Anyways, the movie is focusing on the life of Rocky and the current world champ (the name, I forgot).

Ok, so the movie is boring and all then they showed something about the battle of the generations. Rocky and the world champ was rendered in full 3d and the hosts battled if who will win if they were pitted against each other. In the end, Rocky won. So the world champ's side was pretty pissed and they hatched a plan so that they could battle it out with the (old) Rocky.

Then they trained and trained and since Rocky is getting slower by old age, they did not train speed. Instead, they trained raw power. It's nostalgic to see Rocky doing his old training, you know, punching pork in the freezer then running the stairs and jumping all around. Haha. TO make matters even stupidier, they included a little romantic thing going on with Rocky and the teenager he met years back, now older and now she has a son.

Then came Rocky's last fight. He lost, but when the world thought he would not last even a round, he made a point and proved them wrong. The champ then became appreciated (he was not entertained before by public) and Rocky was applauded. Everyone happy.

Well, this movie is pretty boring. If you are not a Rocky fan, avoid this at all cost. Hahaha. Well, I enjoyed this one but trying to revive a Has been is stupid.

ATC.

Ok, after the movie, a light bulb popped, I'll try ATC. ATC is pretty cool, lots of chicks and it's pretty small and relaxing. So you would not get cramps like in MOA.

I arrived at a shop and got the machine for 20k. Not bad. I went home and had a nice rest.

My God of War 2 review
