Watch The Trailer of X-MEN: Days of Future Past

I watched all the X-Men movies and also a fan of the animated series although I am not a comic book fanatic I like watching Superhero movies and animated series. I remember this part from the animated series but I guess there are some tweaks and I will not spoil the fan. I am so excited to watch this movie. 

Good news, Nuffnangers!

20^th Century Fox and Nuffnang Philippines invite you to an exclusive screening of ‘X-MEN:  Days of Future Past’ on May 23, Friday, 9:50 pm at Shargri-La Cineplex Cinema 1!

Just answer this question: What would you correct from your past to save the future?

I do have a lot of regrets in the past, well, who else does not have, right? I guess if given a chance to go back in the past, is that to correct my younger self and tell her about life, I would talk to my younger self and ask my younger self to study harder, do better in school, finish it up but do not forget to have fun. Well, I guess those are some of the most important things I will tell my younger self. I believe that everything that happen in the past is relative to the future so maybe if I have done better I will be better today. But don't get me wrong guys, as I am happily married blessed with a great husband and a cute daughter, I am happy of what I have now. Who does not want any improvement in your own life, right?

My Review...

Well, as the tag line where it says "Based in the true story of everyone" ... almost every body goes through this kind of love story... I did say all of us but most of us have experienced this kind of love story one way or another way back in our high school days... Back to the movie it is kinda cute... it brings back my good old days when I met my first love but that was history... hehehe... One thing I have noticed the friends of Nam (Pimchanok Lerwisetpibol) almost did not change in looks they still look like way back in high school... However all in all I can say that the movie First Love (A Little Thing Called Love) is one of the best love story I have ever watch so far... kinda ideal just like a fairy tail story where it all ends up in a happy ever after but I guess that is all of us is dreaming of (Whatever)... And Guess what there are rumors that there would be a sequel, lets just wait and see...

Here are some screen shots...

Letters to Juliet (2010)

The Movie Letters to Juliet is a 2010 American romantic comedy drama film starring Amanda Seyfried, Chris Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael García Bernal, and Franco Nero. The film was released theatrically in North America and other countries on May 14, 2010. The idea for the film was inspired by the 2006 non-fiction book, "Letters to Juliet," by Lise Friedman and Ceil Friedman, which chronicles the phenomenon of letter writing to Shakespeare's most famous romantic heroine.

The story line is about Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) a young American woman who works for The New Yorker as a fact checker. To put some spark in her life, she decides to go on a 'pre-honeymoon' with her chef fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal) to Verona. However the workaholic Victor is unmoved by the romance of Italy and utilises his time to rather do research for his soon-to-open restaurant, ignoring Sophie. The lonely Sophie discovers by chance an unanswered "letter to Juliet" by Claire in the 1950's -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by the "secretaries of Juliet". She answers it and soon enough the now elderly Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) arrives in Verona with her handsome barrister grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan), who works for human rights. Charlie and Sophie take an instant liking to each other with Charlie behaving very brusquely with Sophie while she is very sarcastic with him. On the other hand, Claire is still looking to rediscover her long lost love, Lorenzo Bartolini. Sophie, thinking Claire's story might help her with her writing career, decides to help Claire in her quest. What happens next is a story of romantic twists and turns. They find out that there are multiple Lorenzo Bartolinis and must figure out which one is Claire's love. After many days of searching for the right one, they find that one of the Lorenzo Bartolinis is dead. An angry Charlie blames Sophie for his grandmother's sadness. He accuses her of not knowing what real loss is, which causes an upset Sophie to walk away. Claire, seeing the little dispute, tells Charlie that he was wrong and that Sophie's mother had walked away from her when she was a little girl. The next day, Claire insists that Charlie apologize to Sophie at breakfast, and he does. After dinner, Sophie goes out with Charlie and talks to him about love, when he accidentally kisses her. The next morning, is their last day of searching for Claire's long lost love. On a whim, Claire points out a vineyard to Charlie and asks if he could stop by so the three of them can have a farewell drink for Sophie. As Charlie drives down the road, Claire sees a young man who looks exactly like her Lorenzo. She yells at Charlie to stop, and he complies. They discover that the man is Lorenzo Bartolini's grandson. Claire and Lorenzo reunite after fifty long years.

Back in New York, Sophie breaks up with Victor. Sophie returns to Verona to attend Claire and Lorenzo's wedding. She finds Charlie there with another woman, Patricia, and runs out. Charlie comes to find her (in a classic balcony setting) and she admits she loves him, but tells him to go back to his date. Telling Sophie that the woman was actually his cousin Patricia, not his ex-girlfriend Patricia, he tells her he loves her and wants to be with her. He accidentally falls off the balcony and they kiss as he is lying on the ground.

Love and Other Drugs (2010)

The movie Love and Other Drugs (2010) features Maggie (Anne Hathaway) is an alluring free spirit who won't let anyone - or anything - tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie's evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love. Written by Twentieth Century Fox

The movie Love and Other Drugs (2010) is a good romantic love story. It is about Maggie having a stage 1 Parkinson's disease and Jamie a salesman competes in the cutthroat world of pharmaceuticals. They have stumbled on each other and that is where the story began...

Compared to a lot of romantic love story I have watched I can still say that the movie has a lot of similarity on a certain point not to mention the sex, well there is a lot of that in the movie as Maggie (Anne Hathaway) shows a lot of skin, I have enjoyed that though (hehehe). I am a fan of love stories and always believe in happy endings, although I have already seen part when I am still in the middle of the movie I told myself that I still have to finish the movie and see if it has something new to offer.

One thing I like in the movie is that thinking what would happen in the future. The relationship material here is good. but it is so good I found myself watching a climatic scene with Maggie (Anne Hathaway) and Jamie (Jake Gyllenhaal) talking in a parking lot, how Jamie needed her and Maggie says that she will be needing him more as much as he will be needing her in the future and he wants to go places but Jamie replies that he will carry her where she wanted to go... But there are laughs here, and there are more than a few sincere and insightful discussions of love and its consequences.

In conclusion I can say that the movie Love and Other Drugs (2010) is good and easy to swallow. And if you are looking for a movie to watch with a special someone and relax, I can recommend you this movie.

Serendipity... Waiting In Vain by Annie Lennox

Well... been hiatus for quite a while. Been busy with playing online games and managing my business. As I was browsing youtube I came across with the music video entitled Waiting In Vain by Annie Lennox... All the memories came back. About the movie Serendipity...

Waiting In Vain by Annie Lennox

I am sure you most of you guys have watch the movie Serendipity starring John Cusack (Jonathan Trager) and Kate Beckinsale (Sara Thomas). It was a movie way back 2001, a romantic comedy about destiny's hold on two people who seek nothing but each other.


The movie was fun and I recommend it for those romantic couples out there. As the movie goes on a you can see there how faith or some other say destiny takes place. But one thing I have learned about this movie is that although faith or destiny is the major course of the movie , I can say that faith or destiny will not happen if you do not do anything... If you have watch the movie even though both characters were driven to each other by faith or destiny they still do something to make things happen one good example was the the part when he is looking for the book where Sara put her number on it. Come to think of it if Jonathan did no look for the book his fiance will not give him the book as a wedding gift. But whats funny about it is that after all that they both did to find each other it was really faith brought them together...
