FULL HOUSE and LAST TAngo In PAris and Hotel RWANDA

I had the great time to really lounge around and watch some DVDS in 2 different houses. How lazy can i get?

FULL HOUSE- i had the chance to watch this koreanovela in all its episodes the same thing that ruled Filipino homes in GMA 7. Not quite aware of this series but at least got me hooked--- especially on the third wheel guy Min Hyuk. WHAAAT? yes, Min Hyuk is the name. It's really a novelty for Koreans to come out with a plot as crazy as this: a big architectural house called Full House, lousy friends, contact marriage with a way dumb Heart Evangelista look alike and a Korean pop star, childhood sweethearts, a love square where one chases the other, 2 very understanding third wheels (the good looking one is Min Hyuk harhar!), lots of pagmumuni-muni scenes that does not thicken the plot, selfishness, letting go, predictable ending where the contact marriage becomes real and lots of unprofound screaming and there you go. Moi got hooked. Koreans have a way of embroidering things their way to make it look like a struggle. Though once you've been into it, there's nothing really fantastic, you are just eager to know how they end up together because you know they will eventually. Min Hyuk looks a lot like local actor Jay Manalo only pedigreed. Stands straight with very clean choices of clothes (kumusta naman ang mga kulay old rose na long sleeves!) and looks at you with sharp unsuspecting eyes and the air of a one in a million lover. Ang gwapo gurl!

LAST TANGO IN PARIS - starred by Vito Corleone of the Godfather Trilogy, Marlon Brando has an intense almost disturbing performance. Hindi ko nga masyado maintindihan ang pelikulang ito. Sex scenes are sometimes sick sometimes erotic for a 45 year old man. But i think it dwells on Marlon Brando's role as someone who lost his wife to a suicide and then he just goes off sync. Fornicating with a 20 year old, confronting a dead wife, seeking redemption from a holed life and then not finding it.

HOTEL RWANDA - naiyak ako dito. Panoorin niyo na lang kung bakit. true to life. This movie is a testament of how lucky we are amidst e-vat, the president and poverty.

This has been my sanctuary for four years already. It's my extension. Almost like a limb out in the open. Know that people want to express, to just chuck it out, to just be themselves even on something as artificial as blog. I am that people. So don't mind me...
