Movies, Movies… (Earth, Faith, Honesty, Reality)

An Inconvenient Truth

Details, go here.

Fast Review: One of the most hard-hitting docus about global warming, An Inconvenient Truth tells the tale of the how the Earth is slowly dying because of the same people who are supposedly the guardians of this planet. A film by former US Vice President Al Gore, hindi nakakapagtaka na medyo may mga political na banat si Gore against some of his political opponents including George Bush. Pero if you look past that, isang magandang pelikula ito na sasampal sa bawat isa tungkol sa isang malaking porblemang dapat na nating aksyunan. The main theme of this movie is that global warming may be a big problem, but it is nothing that we all can solve if we act together and act now. A must-see for every human being in this planet.

Horton Hears Who

Details, go here.

Fast Review: Voiced by funny man Jim Carey, Horton is an  elephant who started hearing something from a speck on top of a clover leaf. As it turns out, he is hearing the people living in another world – a very small world that exists in just a speck. His objective is to transport the speck to somewhere safer so the Who’s, people living on the speck, can live a longer and less traumatic life. The catch? No one believes Horton and everybody thinks he is crazy. Though this movie is a comedy by nature, it also teaches everyone that all you have to do is believe in something or someone for it or them to be successful and happy. A feel-good, funny movie suitable to anyone, kids and kids at heart alike.

The Hottie and the Nottie

Details, go here.

Fast Review: The movie that sunk more than the Titanic (the ship, not the movie). This one stars Hollywood socialite and bad girl Paris Hilton as the perfect girl who is loved by everyone but no one can really love. That is because she vowed that she won’t get hitched unless her super ugly friend starts going out on dates. At dahil panget nga siya, walang nagtatangka. Nobody until one guy, who happens to be both the hottie and the nottie’s first-grade classmate went back to town after finally getting the courage to come out with his feelings to Paris’ character. It was a rollerscoaster ride, if you will, that ended up with the guy falling in love with the nottie, who became hottie too for some reason. Puno ng cliche yung pelikula, though may mga eksena na nakakatawa talaga. Medyo malabo din yung pagpapakita nila nung supposed lesson nung movie which I think is honesty. It tries to tell the audience that if you have feelings for someone, you just have to be honest about it and go for it before you miss your chance. I’ll admit that this is not a good movie at all. Pero pag wala kayong magawa ang you would like to just laugh, this might actually work.

The Truman Show

Details, go here.

Fast Review: One of my favorite movies of all-time, this stars Jim Carey as Truman Burbank who is a guy who is living his life as part of a huge television show that he himself don’t have any knowledge about. It’s like Big Brother on a larger scale. It is about being true and wanting to find out the truth. I’ve watched this movie so many times but until now, hindi ko pa din ma-explain yung nakukuha ko galing sa pelikula. But I definitely would recommend this to everyone.

Song of the Day – Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On?

Awesome song by a very talented artist…

What’s Going On?

Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today – Ya

Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what’s going on
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Ah, what’s going on

In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh

Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on
Ya, what’s going on
Tell me what’s going on
I’ll tell you what’s going on – Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
