The People vs. Larry Flynt

More details, here.

One thing: after watching this movie, I wanna be like Larry Flynt. Not his being a pervert, that is. I wanna be like him because he is a type of man who knows what he wants and gets what he wants. And through this movie, everyone will be able to know the man behind probably the most controversial publication in the history of pornography. Love the performance of Woody Harrelson. And Courtney Love… Umm, let’s just say that I certainly am changing my mind about that crazy lady. And damn, she’s fucking hot!

Batch ‘81

More details, here.

Isa sa mga paborito kong Pinoy film, done by the master Mike de Leon. Tungkol ang pelikulang ito sa isang grupo ng college students na sumasailalim sa isang mahirap, nakakahiya at life-changing initiation process ng isang fraternity. I’ve watched this movie a few times na rin ang everytime I watch it, meron akong napupulot. Isang pelikulang tungkol sa responsibilidad, pagkakaibigan, panangutan, kalayaan at maraming pang iba, I definitely recommend this one sa mga taong hindi pa nakakapanood nito. Isang pagtingin sa lipunan na akma pa din kahit sa panahong ito.

Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo

More details, here.

Though I haven’t seen the first movie of this Franchise, Kasal, Kasali Kasalo, I kinda liked this movie. And thanks to my baby, naintindihan ko pa rin yung ibang mga jokes na pelikula. Tungkol sa buhay ng mag-asawa na nagsisimula ng isang pamilya, nakakatawa pa rin siya at medyo nakakagulat na ganito kasi si Judy Ann Santos at Ryan Agoncillo ang bida, dalawang artistang hindi naman talaga nakakatawa. The highlight of the movie is actually Gina Pareno, who played the mother of Judy Ann’s character. I love bototay! HAHAHA! Medyo different din yung storytelling ng pelikula.

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

&

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

More details, here and here.

A two-part movie (that is obviously not shown in near succession), these movies tell the adventures and misadventures of two stoners, Harold and Kumar. Medyo typical yung pelikula sa mga “college-boys” movies like American Pie and others because it pretty much show that no matter how crazy people can get, pag nagsimula na silang magseryoso sa buhay makukuha na nila yung gusto nila at maabot na nila ang kanilang mga goals. But may I say na nakakatawa pa rin yung pelikula kahit medyo gasgas na yung ibang mga jokes (which are mostly fart jokes na usually will be offensive to some people). Highly recommended to crazy people like me, but not to those too conservative or tight-asses, if you will.

Zeitgeist: The Movie

More details, here.

A very different and brave documentary that basically says that we, as people, have been screwed over far too many times by people who have the money and power and that we should stand up to those bastards for messing with us in the forst place. Yung movie is divided into three parts. Yung una tells the story of how Christianity is a big lie, especially its central figure, Jesus Christ who is only a fiction of imagination and also a literary plagiarism. The second deals with the 9/11 Myth and how Americans and the whole world were made to believe of some imaginary terrorists to make everyone afraid so they can be controlled. The last part is about the Central Bank and its plans to overthrow everything in this world to make it one superpower that basically controls everything on the planet. What I can say about the film? FUCKING AWESOME! Dapat mapanood ito ng bawat isang nilalang na nakatira sa mundo, ano pa man ang kulay, lahi, lenggwahe, edad, sekswalidad at relihiyon niya. This movie is kinda like a test to one’s faith his/her beliefs. Highly recommended!

Song of the Day – Marilyn Manson’s The Reflecting God

Fuck it!

The Reflecting God

Your world is an ashtrey
we burn and coil like cigarettes
the more u cry ur ashes turn to mud

the nature of the leeches
the virgin’s feeling cheated
u’ve only spent a second of ur life

(bridge)
my world is unaffected
there is an exit here
I say it is then it’s true
there is a dream inside a dream
I’m wide awake the more I sleep
u’ll understand when I’m dead

I went to god just to see
and I was lookin at me
saw that heaven and hell were lies
when I’m god everyone dies!!

scar scar can u feel my power
shot here and the world gets smaller
scar scar can u feel my power
one shot and the world gets smaller

let’s jump upon the sharp swords
cut away our smiles
without the threat of death
there’s no reason to live at all

(bridge)

each thing I show u is a piece of my death
no salvation no forgiveness…
