movies movies movies.

rounding up a couple of movies i've watched recently, these are the comments i can give:

1. FRIENDS WITH MONEY - a movie about four friends who obviously wouldn't be friends if they had met each other at a later time. one was really rich contradicting her friend who worked as a maid. one was having problems with her neighbors while the other realized that since we all end up dying, she should just stop washing her hair. it's what i consider an art film - the plot may be considered weird but it makes you think, and then it makes you go, "aaaah..." it goes deeper than what the actors give in each scene. it's a story about friendship, yes. but it's also about trust, timing, care, RELATIONSHIPS. it's how these four people interact with each other, esp. since they have families. how each couple talks about their friends' lives after each get-together makes the whole thing really realistic. :)

2. SAKAL, SAKALI, SAKLOLO - the movie after last year's KASAL, KASALI, KASALO starring Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo. it's really hilarious. :) a must-see for everyone, esp. stressed out people :) shows the adjustment period for both parents, balancing family (with the baby), work, and the in-laws. you can see the couple's frustrations, fights, and worries. a lot of people (newlyweds?) can surely relate to this film. love the way gina pareno acted out her role :) here are some of her lines.
*there's a saying that if there's a will, there's a way. but since there's no will, you say, "NO WAY!"
*guy: i don't give a shit!
girl: that's okay. i'm not giving you my shit!
hahahahaha :)

3. EIGHT BELOW - a film about the bond and survival of the owner/trainer and his eight siberian huskies. a really touching story and plot. love the cinematography and just how they patched the whole film. because of this film, i now officially want a siberian husky. HAHAHA :) but seriously, i love this film. heart melting. touching. beautiful.

4. DESPERADAS - guess this film didn't really reach my expectations. personally, it wasn't that good, but there were really funny parts in the movie. maybe those parts and good marketing (?) were the things that actually saved the movie from flopping. i didn't really get where the plot of the movie was headed and i guess the plot itself wasn't really that strong.

:D hee hee :)

happy new year! :) more movies to watch! :D
