Movie: Heneral Luna

-

Got to watch this film before I went home tonight. The cinema was full - mostly students.

As a historical film, the movie got my interest on how they will bring the story to life - they did not fail me. Most of the scripts of the characters were natural like in a normal conversation, and poetic when needed. The comedies were nicely thrown as the people loved it with synchronous loud laughters. The dramas were also effective as you will hear dismay and disgust. They have selected good actors and actresses which played the roles well. And lastly the music and special effects were great. I liked the scenes where Antonio Luna played his guitar and his last scene.

Overall, it is indeed an epic historical film. It inspires you to love more our freedom, our country - the Philippines and fight for justice. At the same time it makes you think about the past and the future of governments. Do history repeats itself?

Hopefully, the teachers give those noisy students an exam about the movie.

Satisfied with the Kobukuro ALL SINGLES BEST album

-
It has been a month since I bought the Kobukuro ALL SINGLES BEST that I have been searching for lyrics written in romanji. (Becasuse I am not a good reader of Kanji). Thanks to Amy's blog entitled "Obsessed with Kobukuro", I am now able to sing along with Kobukuro. I can now rest and say I'm satisfied. Here are the lyrics: Kimi toiu na no Tsubasa Shiwakucha no shashin ni wa Mabushikatta jikan to Yorisou bokura ga itai hodo Azayakani yakitsukerareteite Hagureta no wa kitto Dochira no sei demo nakute Ki ga tsukeba kimi wa boku no Naka ni sumi hajimeta Kachimake dake ja nai nanika wo Oshiete kureta REESU ga aru Issho ni hashitta tsumetai natsu no ame Aoi shibuki ni kasanaru zanzou Mizugiwa ni ukabeta kanjou Yorokobi ya kanashimi no kizu sae Tsutsumikonda yakusoku no hikari Akireru hodo massugu ni Hashiri nuketa kisetsu wo Sagashite mada boku wa ikiteru Machigai darake no ano hibi ni Oto shita namida to kotae wo Mune ippai ni kaki atsumete mou ichido

Movie Review: Full Metal Alchemist (Live-Action)

-
Finally, I was able to watch the live-action of Full Metal Alchemist. I can say, the visual effects and graphics were well-made. The locations were fitting for the movie. I think the actors who portrayed Lust and Hughes were a close look-alike to the anime. The scene when Nina became a chimaera, I remember it was a very sad episode. I think some scenes lack a believable script and portrayal. Too bad, the civil war was not developed well in this movie. Also, I expected more alchemy and action scenes. Anyway, where is Armstrong? Still, in the end, I enjoyed the movie. I hope they can make it better for the next instalment, if ever.
