Saturday, May 1, 2010If you're wondering what my blog title is all about - well - these are movies and books that I've watched and read this weekend.
I would like to share my two cents about all of it.
THE UGLY TRUTH
I wanted to watch this movie during its movie premiere but I was so busy with a lot of stuff that I haven't got the time nor the company to be with. I don't think my younger cousins would appreciate this kind of film. Anyway, I love Katherine Heigl. She's amazing in this movie. I am a fan of her since her "My Father, The Hero" days. I think acting wise she's okay in this film. It's a bit raunchy but as the title suggests it - It's the ugly truth about men and women when finding love. Men based it on sexuality. Women based it on their so-called "ideal list." This movie made me realize that women like to feel secure first in love before diving to the next step. On the other hand, men are more likely to be more random about the situation. They later make assessment on whether the girl they slept with is someone they could spend more time with. However, this movie also makes me realize that eventhough men and women are so different when it comes to their approach in finding a partner, they're are still drawn to the fact that the person they're with should be someone they're comfortable with. If a guy and girl is comfortable with each other regardless of the situation or topic, they are immediately drawn to each other. That's how Katherine and Gerard became a perfect match in this movie. The movie will give you the lowdowns on love and sex but it would also make you realize some other things. You will notice it once you watch this film. I'm giving it a 4 out 5.
THE PROPOSAL
This movie made me laugh and cry. Sandra is definitetly good in making romantic comedy movies. Her personality is so quirky. She can make you laugh and make you cry then again it's probably because the movie is a good one. Ryan is also fun to watch. Their chemistry is good. This movie kinda reminds me of "While You Were Sleeping." The main girl and guy hid something to the family of the guy that once they tell the truth something bad could happen to the oldest member of the family. I like how they focus the story in making it funny for the audience. Siguro if they lessen the funny parts the movie would be a total snooze. One thing na nagdala sa movie was it's witty, funny lines. I was laughing until the middle part of the movie. I cried lang sa last part. The part where she needed to tell everyone the whole lying thing. It wasn't tearjerker pero I got teary eyed because I could really feel how much it hurts for Sandra's part to be on that position. From the very start of the movie kasi, you can really tell na she's a very lonely person kahit yung persona niya sa office is a cold, bitchy woman. In the end, you'll see the walls of her falling down and makikita yung vulnerability niya. I give this movie 4.5 out 5 just because it made me feel different emotions after watching the film.
THE BEAUTY AND THE BRIEFCASE
My cousin gave me this external hd that has movies in it. One of those is this tv-movie. It's a little cliche because I've seen this kind of role from Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde and Isla Fisher in The Confession of a Shop-a-holic Girl. I grew out of those kind of movies and this one brought me back to those times. Hilary shouldn't play this kind of role na eventhough the script is a bit mature pero she should stop playing stereotypical roles of a blonde girl/fashion/cosmo dream/perfect bf must-haves kind of thing. Aside from the fact na irritating yung voice ng mga ganitong kind ng roles and yung actions nila, the story is a bit cheesy. Mejo shallow yung storyline. I don't think women in their 20s would love this movie. Maybe if you're 15 and you're starting to enjoy the fashion life and boys - yeah makakarelate ka. Even if the role of Hillary Duff here is 20 something, it feels like her characterization is too immature. I'll give it a 2.5 out 5. Not bad but not my kind of movie.
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
This is the book that I just finished reading a few days ago. This reminds me of Twilight Saga. I am fan of the saga and I am familiar with the story. This one is almost the same as the Twilight except of the vampire and werewolf thing. This book is about a fallen angel named Patch. His wings were stripped down a long time ago and in order to get it back he needs to save someone and be her/his guardian angel. As a fallen angel - a bad one - he needs to kill. Unfortunately, he fell in love with the girl and the rest is history. SOUNDS FAMILIAR???? Just like what I've said para siyang twilight binago lang yung characterization and situation but when you analyze it parang same din kasi he can't kill the girl because he's in love with her. He'll protect her from other fallen angels. Mejo mixed reactions yung akin about this book. I kind of like it. I even named my new netbook as "Patch" but at the same time parang I feel like ripped off siya ng story ni Stephenie Meyer. If you try to write stories na almost the same yung story line then readers will compare it to the first book that they read na same ng flow ng story. I like the concept of the fallen angel but I wish it was not about a young girl in HS again na he needs to kill then later on he'll protect because he loves her. It would be nice if Becca Fitzpatrick tried a different approach sa character niya na si Patch. Maybe change the story to a bad boy Patch who died and later became a fallen angel. He was given a task to do to reach heaven but it becomes complicated when his task is about his girlfriend or something. I think it would have been way better then again it's just my opinion. It's still a good read for teens and young hearts like me.
