Ate at Fish & Co. GB3 last weekend. Only now remembered to post about it. Got their fish and chips (which is actually french fries). The fish was huge for P300+ and not crispy at all, but soft.

From Live Action to Drawn


Fear - Death Note

Last night I was able to watch the first three episodes of the live action movies that I viewed first. So far the plot development is the same, with a little more exposition especially on where the notebook originated and the his academic relationship with his sister.

But the people in school who are into this are hoping that like some of those local TV series turned into movies, that the ending of the movies may be different from the ending of the series.

Let's hope so, otherwise I'm just watching an extended version of something I already know the story of.

Smallville Season 6 Cliffhanger


Smallville is Coming...

I just found out last night what happens at the end of the season. They really kept the surprise of the identity of the established Superman villain to make the appearance until the last minute or so. Being the comic geek that I am, trying to outguess which characters are going to show up in the comic TV series or movies has always been fun. And all those fans that thought Green Arrow and company would be making a reappearance must be disappointed. I also didn't like what Chloe's meteor power turned out to be. Well, four months more to wait for the new season...

Stood outside this place last night at 7pm. Not that I went to that area specifically for that. Just wanted to see first hand what the big deal was about. Even the guards outside the place were entertaining visitors with their stories. Moving on to the next street, I even saw a middle aged guy and a woman on a motorcycle asking for directions to the place. It's a phenomenon.

Anthony Hopkins in the Movie "Fracture"

I watched this last Friday night. I thought it would be more of a mystery and mind-bender than it actually was. But there was only one big puzzle that needed to be solved, and it really could have been better off as an episode of one of those short anthologies. Because of that it seemed a waste of Sir Anthony Hopkins' talents.

Watched the advanced screening of this with some students and staff last night at SM Sta. Rosa. Not as much fun as the second movie. The high school scenes could have been given more screen time. I just don't see the kingdom and the main characters being taken over just like that.
