No Farewell but Fondness Memoirs

It has been a half of decade since she had the fearless enemy. From the beginning of the battle, the fear doesn't glance into her eyes instead, the aura of flaming desire to be better is her ultimate goal. She did accept the fact of being ill despite of her busy life style and bombarded career. She had gone to several chemotherapy, dialysis, surgery and all other matters to surpass the inevitable enemy of time. For all people that I have live with, encountered and I know, she has this eager and strong attitude that in God's Grace, being healed with faith will glance into her. Her personality is more than to nth power that even everyone of us seems to be a bit angry due to her stubbornness. She never stop finding the right cure for her ailment. Thousands of ways she tried and eventually she get the chance of getting better and feeling good. We don't know where is getting those spirit of being a true blue warrior of lifetime. Every time we were about to collapse she's right behind us bringing us up still and telling to be tough even life is tougher that anything else.

Tougher than ever. Taken a year before with Ate RA.

Better now that she's in God's arm and now can spread love with  Lola Sileng and her son Aga. For this day forward, life is not same as the other years have gone. It seems to be empty without her around but living with her grace and virtues that everything will be fine will be just right here to help each other hand in hand. To Mommy Aba, we know that you're in good hands right now. Living with God and sharing fondness of life with your love one in heaven. We know that this will be hard but eventually we can surpass this trial of losing you. We just want you to know that we will never leave your family.

How do you know me at all?

Real Steel Brawling Night

It has been so long since I got the chance to watched in big screen. It was never been too busy but it just take time to really get into mood of liking such a movie. I'm not saying that I'm picky when watching movies but it has to be that good enough to meet satisfaction, right? Before we get into such nonsense talkies I might as well start the FIGHT!!! 


I took the chance of seeing a film just a couple of an hour today at exactly 8:20 PM. I did watched Real Steel, a story of a fighter, boxer and future. The movie is about a former boxer Charlie (Hugh Jackman) who seems to get drugged over robot fighting. He just throw everything in his life to give way for his dream of earning bucks. But his life is about to change when his worst nightmare came, his son, Maxx. He got to deal with his child whose about to get the custody by his auntie and Charlie had to give its consent. But Charlie had to keep an eye on him until his allegedly parents got back from New York. Charlie and Maxx had to deal with each other for sometime until summer ends. Charlie and Maxx did got accompanied one another when Atom arrived, a boxing robot with heart who came from junk. A robot that will give them a shit of ride in robotic world. The hard pounding and steel to death smashing of robots are the main grounds of watching it.

The movie was in a great level of expectations. The everything was an awesome catch. It will never fail your expectations just like Transformer. I'm not saying it can level to Autobots and Dicepticons but it will just be its underdog. It wasn't so spectacular nor so extravagant but a real smashing action drama pack of movie in just for two and also half an hour. The robot smashing, pounding steels,  jaw breaking flying robot heads to screen which give goers a fearless fight for green fragrant bucks. I feel like it could be better but not best among others. I might feel it could have its sequel if it will hit movie market. I cannot get out to the feeling of the Atom being so much like human that can feel something within.He seems like to be a human in any minute if given a chance. Catch this film for the extra ordinary robot fighting of all times. Charlie and Maxx captivate the father and son relationship to bond so much even for being distant in such long years. 

From the start it has been delivered for a real bunch of prod cost of putting up a robots for ring battle. The realistic way of the film is that it limits the idea of such robot that never to speak, never to be emotional and never be so rude whenever not so instructed, I'm not pointing for something just to clarify if you react. The constant thing in this is it was a remote controlled robot that mankind can make it functional. It essentially became functional when to control and became stagnant when not. It seems like a big toys for real men and for young genX set. 

Real Steel is a must see movie this fall season.  Starring Hugh Jackman and his movie son, Dakota Goyo. It will take everyone of us in not so futuristic movie but for a bond of family that never fails whenever it makes us happy. The sweet bond, funny moments and hardcore robot brawling. 

SAVING AMERICA BEFORE BED TIME

Reviews are starting to trickle in forCaptain America: The First Avenger,which hits theaters this Friday and premieres at Comic-Con in San Diego. Here's what the critics are saying:

Comic-Con 2011: Full THRCoverage

"If you take a World War II movie, dial up the action with contemporary visual effects and CGI, then give your hero a double dose of steroids and human growth hormones, you wind up in the movie/comic-book world of Captain America: The First Avenger," writes Kirk Honeycutt in The Hollywood Reporter.

"Captain America delivers comic-book action that should satisfy Captain America’s fans, old and new, while Chris Evans’ no-nonsense yet engaging portrayal of a man who doesn’t know how to back away from a fight may cause young women to swoon and young men to join a gym," he adds.

But "in terms of even recent films, Captain America lacks the deft touch, appealing character interaction and sophisticated storytelling skills of Marvel Comics’ X-Men: First Class," Honeycutt adds. "And let’s not even bother to compare this to Christopher Nolan’s Batman series."

Hit Fix's Drew McWeeny thinks Captain America: The First Avenger is "one of the finest movies yet from Marvel Studios, and a big departure in tone and storytelling from most of the films they've made so far.  It is a strong indicator that the more willing the studio is to experiment, the more exciting the payoffs can be."

"Marvel has been working towards this moment for a while, and there have been a few moments where it felt like they were making missteps with the individual movies in their rush to reach The Avengers, but they've saved one of their very best movies for last, and I suspectCaptain America: The First Avenger will send audiences out of the theater rabid to see what's next," he adds.

Comic Book Resources reviewer Josie Campbell says watching the movie is "akin to walking back in time: a throwback to the summer adventure movies of yesteryear, Captain America inhabits a world where the bad guys are bad, the good guys are good, and the day is saved in the nick of time -- though with some original twists along the way."

"The latest superhero flick from Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures, "Captain America" is a solidly entertaining movie that, while lacking the wow factor of Thor or X-Men: First Class, tells an otherwise interesting summer yarn," she adds. "It's pleasant and light-hearted tone is great for younger audience members, but it never dips below this surface of mindless entertainment. Overall Captain America is a pleasing popcorn movie: it's a light, easy snack of a film, but don't expect anything to stay with you after the movie is over."

Teen Wolf

I don't blame MTV for trying to cash in on the current vampire and werewolf craze, considering its audience is the same that gives Twilight every award known to man at every MTV Movie Awards.  

Basing the new series loosely on famous 1985 movie Teen Wolf seemed like a good way to gain an entirely new audience, as fans of the Michael J. Fox film might give it a shot.

Although I was born in the year the original movie came out, I have seen the Wolf perform his patented two-handed block and tomahawk slam more than enough times to call myself a fan. But aside from a couple of general ideas, mainly a few character names and the fact that Scott is both a teenager and a werewolf, the new MTV series does not have much in common with the film  on which it's supposedly based.

Intensified Roar.  Scott in his debut as werewolf. 

In no way is that a negative, however, because if you were to recreate the fun-loving 80s romp through high school that Fox and partner-in-crime Jerry Levine so marvelously did back in 1985, you might end up with something like TBS's Glory Daze.

The new Teen Wolf is much darker, and much scarier, than its predecessor. Sure, there are still the moments during lacrosse practice, or in the halls of school, that don't contain the presence of wolves and hunters, but they still give off a very horror/suspense type vibe.

After one episode, it seems to all work for the most part. Now, it's not perfect television, but Teen Wolf shows promise in being an exciting and interesting story that we have sort of seen before. It may be a great show to escape to this summer.

So let's take a look at a couple of our main players: This jury is still out on Tyler Posey. His Scott McCall is not Scott Howard, and I don't think that is necessarily a good thing. Although he was easy to make fun of, Howard was a fun-loving kid who was easy to root for. McCall, on the other hand, seems overly morose.

I do, however, like that his new wolf abilities make him smooth with the ladies. Yeah, he's also better at lacrosse, but that move with the new girl and the pen? Stud! It keeps things more realistic that he doesn't go full-wolf before he is able to compete at high levels, but it does leave less room for laughter at watching a hairy wolf kill at lacrosse.

Then there is Dylan O'Brien, who was given the impossible task of trying to compete with Levine's version of Stiles. The dude was so good that he inspired Tampa Bay Buccaneer Greg White to legally change his name to Stylez G. White. Once again, if you are from a more recent generation and are not familiar with the original movie, go check it out, if only for the unintentional comedy.

But O'Brien shows some promise after one episode. He's not nearly as cool as the original Stiles thought he was, but he is just as goofy in the role. Stiles is there for comic relief, and with how dark and ominous the rest of this show seems to be, he will be needed at times.

Speaking of the darkness, the twists and turns of Scott waking up in the middle of nowhere, wrestling with his maker in the woods, and getting shot with an arrow by what are known as "hunters," show promise for the action side of things. There seem to be plenty of avenues that this first season may go in, and it all starts with the new girl's father.

As soon as Allison mentioned her father, I said "The HUNTER!" If you figured that out before me, good for you. Even if you didn't realize it until he stepped out from behind the car, I hope it gave you as much of a creepy feeling as it did me. With the new love of Scott's life being the daughter of the werewolf hunter that is sure to be coming after him, things could get very tricky in the near future.

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON

There are filmmakers whose work is characterized by thrift, efficiency and devotion to the subtleties of cinematic expression. And then there is Michael Bay, whose films are symphonies of excess and redundancy, taking place in a universe full of fire and metal and purged of nuance. I’m not judging, just describing, and since today’s theme is bluntness, I might as well come out and say that “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is among Mr. Bay’s best movies and by far the best 3-D sequel ever made about gigantic toys from outer space.

Incomparable movie of the Year: TRANSFORMERS:DARK
OF THE MOON

I apologize if this sounds like faint praise, but let me provide some perspective. The second of Mr. Bay’s “Transformers” movies, “Revenge of the Fallen,” released in 2009, struck me as not only the worst movie of that year — measured in raw box office dollars, it was certainly among the most popular — but also as irrefutable evidence that our once proud civilization was in a state of precipitous decline. Perhaps my own enjoyment of “Dark of the Moon” is further evidence. I can’t decide if this movie is so spectacularly, breathtakingly dumb as to induce stupidity in anyone who watches, or so brutally brilliant that it disarms all reason. What’s the difference?

But this is not about me: it’s about the war between Autobots and Decepticons, rival tribes of extraterrestrial fighting machines — literally! — capable of assuming the shape of motor vehicles. Though a computer-enhanced actor briefly appears playing President Obama, no Transformer is on hand to thank him for rescuing the auto industry.

Speaking of which: in the series’s latest bit of tongue-in-cheek revisionist history, it is disclosed that John F. Kennedy fast-tracked the moon landing not to beat the Soviet Union in the space race, but rather to secure a site where a giant Autobot vessel had crash-landed after a big war on Cybertron. (“Transformers” scholars will recall that the Hoover Dam was built for similar purposes.) The actual Buzz Aldrin shows up to confirm that the giant leap for mankind of July 20, 1969, was actually a small incident in the endless Autobot-Decepticon war, which will, in our own time, lay waste to much of the city of Chicago.

Plot summary is unnecessary: the script, by Ehren Kruger (who joined the franchise with “Revenge” and here proves himself to be a crucial asset), is its own Wikipedia. Everything will be explained, as the cameras swirl and jump, and the music (by Steve Jablonsky) rumbles and blasts.

“Drop the bridge!” someone will say, referring to one of the drawbridges that span the Chicago River. A few seconds later you will see the bridge dropping and, just in case you are uncertain of what is going on (maybe you were texting your friend, who sneaked into “Bad Teacher” with hopes of hearing Cameron Diaz swear), someone else will say, “The bridge is dropping!”

So you don’t have to pay terribly close attention if you want to grasp the basic political and military issues. The Autobots like freedom, the Decepticons do not, and mankind — or at least American mankind, which also likes freedom, as well as the cars and guns that symbolize it — is on the side of the Autobots. But there are traitors, both human and metallic, which makes things complicated in the sense that more exposition is required, and plot twists need to be handled with screaming instances of narrative torque.

But that’s all fine. Really, it is, because Mr. Bay’s lax notions of coherence and plausibility — I’m sorry, I mean his utterly nonexistent notions of coherence and plausibility — are accompanied by a visual imagination that is at once crazily audacious and ruthlessly skillful. Live-action 3-D has been, at least since “Avatar,” a briar patch for filmmakers and a headache for audiences.

“Dark of the Moon” is one of the few recent 3-D movies that justify the upcharge. Mr. Bay clearly enjoys playing with the format, which is also to say that he takes it seriously. A lot of glass and metal comes flying at your head, and you feel surrounded, plunged into a universe governed by new and strange laws of physics. Nothing you see makes any sense at all, but the sensations are undeniable, and kind of fun in their vertiginous, supercaffeinated way.

All the kinetic, explosive fun in the world — which is a rough reckoning of how much Mr. Bay has tried to fit into “Dark of the Moon” — would become tedious if there were not also some other sources of enjoyment on hand. Luckily there are, in the non-anodized, unshiny forms of Frances McDormand, John Turturro, John Malkovich and Ken Jeong. They help make the movie, from time to time, actually funny. It’s not Noël Coward, and it’s not “Bad Teacher,” either, but “Dark of the Moon” is leavened by a sense of its own ridiculousness, and Mr. Kruger has written a few pretty good jokes. Or perhaps left some evocative blank spaces in the script next to Mr. Turturro’s name. His dustup with Bill O’Reilly would be great television, and is pretty good, er, cinema.

Mr. Turturro and Ms. McDormand (who plays a snappish government big shot, as you will know within her first five seconds of screen time) may be the only parts of the movie you want more of. But “more” is Mr. Bay’s watchword, and so you will get a whole lot of everything else. An Autobot with the voice of Leonard Nimoy. Shia LaBeouf running around and shouting at people. Annoying sidekicks (apart from Mr. LaBeouf, who is his own annoying sidekick). A bunch of muscly dudes with big guns who are not robots. (Two of them are Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson.) A bunch of muscly dudes who are.

And a girl, on hand to be rescued, fought over and filmed from behind at a low angle as further testimony to the aesthetic power of 3-D. The previous girl, Megan Fox, was fired because of her mouth, and this one, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, has been hired for the same reason. (Why aren’t there any female Autobots or Decepticons? Is that a dumb question?) The robots and cars are soulful, but her character is purely mechanical, a token of reassurance for viewers reveling in a spectacle of cosmic, brutal, heavy-metal homoeroticism. As I said before: I’m not judging, just describing.

“Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Much of Chicago is wiped out. And where did those toys learn all those bad words?
