Movies, movies, movies!

I couldn't take my eyes off our TV lately due to the many good and interesting movies being shown simultaneously on the movie channel. Five channels that offer the almost latest movies or movies made ten years ago...at least.

Last Friday I had the chance to watch the movies such as: KNOWING starring Nicholas Cage. I had seen this movie in the cinema although there are scenes wherein I had a problem with the sound and I was not able to hear what Nic said in the classroom while he was asking his students on about astronomy or the solar system. He was passing or tossing the ball (that represents the sun ) and he asked each of the students about the composition of the sun and the next last question is about the purpose in life of why God has created us or is there any purpose? Then he paused and he was confused right there. What is your purpose in life? Do you know? Why you have to live when you have to die afterwards? It doesn't make any sense at all. You could probably asked people who were or had experienced the near-death or those who died and were reincarnated. If you believe in reincarnation. Other than that what to believe anyway? KNOWING is a movie about people caught up inside the washer and the dryer. Those who had a chance to live end up in the towel.

Next movie is THE LAST SONG of Miley Cyrus. Not bad at all. I first thought it was corny. It's good for the teen-agers. Not my kind of movie.

INKHEART is about a family who were separated by strange circumstances wherein all the characters inside the books appeared in their travel to the lalaland.

HAIRSPRAY? The story of a girl whose main purpose in life is to be a celebrity and be with those TV dancers. Always in a daydreaming mode.

ROLE MODELS. Mentors and special ed "teachers" managed to mentor children who have disabilities or special needs. Chivalry and heraldry were practiced to give a sounding game effect of armory.

THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR. PARNASSUS. I like this movie of fantasy. A "family" living in a nomadic life. their source of income is the "stage play" wherein a magic mirror reveals a sublime effect of utopia, fantasy at its best, imagination beyond realm to the delight of every human being lost in amazement of what they can perceived and visualized in a given moment of time that is within a limit. There's always a limit. The girl in the movie who is the daughter of Dr. Parnassus only dreamed of one thing only to have a family and a good nurturing home. For they cannot live like nomads. Life is not a circus. The end credit of that movie was given to Heath Ledger who happened to write the book story? Really?

ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Not bad. Everyone knows the story of Alice. But this time Alice is no longer a child. She is a grown-up woman about to get married but then she was once again stucked in the rabbit hole and the adventure begins seeing the same characters from the very beginning of the story. Good for children.

DEATH BECOMES HER. I had watched this movie over and over again in the past. Two villains wanting to look younger than their old age became obnoxious and gluttony sets in end up in a very tragic accident after another. The story of the living dead of Beverly Hills. From what I heard too many of them now had those "ailments." It's like a disease.

Can't you blame them wanting to be young and looked young so that they can still entertain you? The business of entertainment ... that's their occupation and if they end up old they will lose their job. Whatever. They can always wear a mask don't you think? Or accept mother or grandmother roles if need be.

THE SWEETEST THING. This is one of the best comedy film I've ever seen. Actually it was hilarious. Kinabagan ako kakatawa sa mga bruha. Christina Applegate and Cameron Diaz are a riot inside the dirty filthy washroom. Their wardrobe scenes at the shop was double the fun. They are both crazy.
