Movies Television Writing http://wiredup.blogdrive.com/archive/12.html Thu, 08 Nov 2007 03:15:44 GMT What's fast becoming a trend these days is going against it. It seems like everybody strives for uniqueness amidst the insipid uniformity around. Take Allan Ball's American Beauty, it defied the usual formula most filmmakers are stuck into. This time, he took the idea on mainstream TV a step further, making it darker, quirkier and more unpredictable. It was a hit again on both the critics and viewers from the promising premiere in 2001 to the haunting finale in 2005. The plot isn't really original in fact it has been rehashed by a dozen soap operas since god knows when. It is about...

I am talking about "An Inconvenient Truth", the latest documentary film of the then U.S. Vice President Albert Gore. I bet most of you upon hearing it the first time will dismiss this as a by-product of a loser's chagrin from the famed Florida vote in the 2000 U.S....

I just realized then that it was way out of the "movie date" category bounds, my advice? just leave those honeyz at home or outside the movie house and be a big chauvinistic-couch potato-beer drinking pig cuz you're in for a wild testosterone packed ride (I'm such an ass). It's more of a pre-booze binge movie with the guys...

I am not talking about the morbid slugfest, i'm talking about David Fincher's cutting-edge-music-video inspired visuals in which aside from it the movie tackles our generation's most pressing issues; urban mischief, increasing paranoia, unending search for ones self-worth and identity and the possibilities it'll lead to. These issues were presented through Tyler Durden's (Brad Pitt) ideologies in the form of "Tylerisms". Some of 'em are like a kick in the shin while some have gone overboard. Let's start with...

I just ditched them when they all went to college cuz that was when everything went haywired and during that time i also started to get a life :) While i was gazing at Joey (my! really amazed with how foxy this girl looks now) i was like" why not give these...

Greenbelt three has spiderman shown in 5 theaters and yet we din't get lucky, gud thing we got a spot in Glorieta. Kinda excited with Mr. Raimi's second installment...

It's not really some hyped up movie that gives u the rush and makes you blurt interjections like Whoa! Awesome! or even Wicked! (spoken in a Ron Weasley-ish manner). It's a kind of movie that grips you in the eyelids and won't let go 'till you've fallen asleep (hehehe just checkin if you're still paying attention). It's a feel good movie, like a prozac that gives u a lingering serotonin increase from the time you take off from the movie house...

I was even thinking how gruesome Mel Gibson could get and indeed it was but not to the point of doing a second take of the Presbyterian pastor's experience. It's better to have a clear understanding on what Mr. Gibson intends to do on the movie before watching it, since this is not your typical awe-inspiring film that you see in movie houses or...
