3 idiots

photo by allmoviesandfilm.blogspot.com

i have a number of dvds to watch. i don't always have the time to watch because of so many things that need to be done. yesterday, i had time because there was no work to think of, the baby was asleep and the bf had stuff to do. i had no idea that this movie was from india. the dvd boys of banawe recommended that it was supposedly funny so i bought it. i would choose a comedy movie over suspense and action on any given day.

the movie is indeed hilarious. of course, it wouldn't be a "bollywood" movie without song and dance numbers but still the story was great. it's about an extraordinarily intelligent student named rancho (wh0 actually reminds me of jude law-there is a resemblance) and his two friends farhan and raju. they are students of engineering. their director is called virus and is a grouch and mean and abhors the three of them. the movie has its exciting twists and turns, the flashbacks of things that happened in the past are well-placed. you will laugh out loud. thanks to subtitles, i was able to understand the movie!

if you can get a copy of the movie, please do watch it. you definitely won't regret.

the moral of the movie is that you have to follow your heart and that success should not be chased. if you are excellent, success is sure to follow.

deebeedee

on our trips, the bf never fails to stop by banawe for car accessories and what not. we have "suki" stores already and sometimes the bf calls ahead to have his order prepared in advance. we never have time to go to the mall but we always have time for banawe.

in banawe, there are a lot of hawkers selling mangoes from camiguin, chafing dishes, shoe racks, chamois and of course, pirated dvds. they're sold at 3 for 100 and yes, i buy them. hahaha! i normally have little time to go to the movies but i can watch dvds on sundays. i usually just buy three at a time. they're the movies currently shown in the movie theaters and are clear copies already. this week, i only got cartoons for the baby. i probably have six movies and one series to watch and i haven't started yet. things have been pretty busy lately...

yes, ronnie ricketts should fine me for buying deebeedees in banawe. but come on, let's be practical. when you watch a movie at home, you don't have to pay for tickets, popcorn and drinks. you can pause the movie when you need to pee, rewind if you don't get the scene or lines and you can lie down comfortably in your bed. and the cost is only 35 bucks!

since i didn't get to watch no other woman, i bought a copy. unfortunately, i stuck it in the bf's dvd player in the car but wouldn't come out. he had to forcibly remove it and the dvd was no more. that's the only tagalog movie i bought and of course, eugene domingo's ang babae sa septic tank. the bf totally didn't get the whole point of the film so i watched it alone! = )

movie reviews?!@##

i don't often watch a lot of movies these days. when i do, i choose to watch those i'm sure are fun and worth watching. the last movie i watched in a theater was harry potter's last movie. i watched it with my sister and my mom, who by the way just slept and snored throughout the whole movie. the bf isn't too fond of moviewatching, especially romantic comedies which i favor. he's more of a television guy.

i have several dvds that i wasn't able to watch yet. luckily, i was also on break from work this weekend so i had the time.

• i don't know how she does it (starring sarah jessica parker) i'm not sure if this is out but i got a pirated dvd copy @ banawe. hehe... = ) it was okay i guess. predictable at best, but it had it's moments. after watching so many movies and reading too many books, i kind of know how a certain plot/storyline goes. and i almost never miss!

• horrible bosses (jennifer aniston, jason bateman etc) i had read a review on this movie but i still watched it anyway. honestly, i got really sleepy during the first 30 minutes. and i did pause the movie to sleep. the latter part was a bit better and still predictable (as usual!) but at least it worked out for the employees. i didn't know jennifer aniston could act like such a slut!

• praybayt benjamin (starring vice ganda, derek ramsay, jimmy santos) i watched this movie at the theater with my mom and sister. my sister said the movie was hilarious and my mom wanted to watch so we did last night. it had the same filipino movie formula. but in fairness, the lines were funny and it was refreshing. i had quite a few laughs and at least, there were no picnic or beach scenes. hahaha! plus, for a gay person, vice ganda dressed decently at least. and vandolph was quite convincing at playing a crazy guy.

the movies i have yet to watch are one day with anne hathaway (unfortunately my copy is in german or something like it) and crazy stupid love (which won't play at all) oh! and i want to watch puss 'n boots too!

Problem Solved!

i had a problem with my baby recently. we have a television and a DVd player in our bedroom. but he wouldn't let me watch the evening news anymore because he always wanted to watch his movies. you know, the usual kid stuff-cartoons! i was willing to go along with it until i could memorize all the lines with my eyes closed. if i wanted to go outside our bedroom to watch tv in the living room, he also won't let me.

so i spent many days just singing and laughing along with thomas, dora, blue and the rest of the gang. until i could take it no more. i racked my brain, put on the so-called thinking cap and wondered how to solve this dilemma. then i decided to get a portable dvd player. i could let him use my computer but i figured a dvd player will work best. i looked around town and saw that most of the screens available were kind of small. however since he would only be using it at night, maybe it'll be okay.

last night we (test drove)tried to use the newly purchased portable dvd player while i was watching the news. the sound and noises sort of clashed but we managed.

finally! i can watch television in peace. we sat side by side, him watching Thomas being his usual cheeky self while Ted Failon reported a looming oil price increase! how easy was that huh?
