I saw it! I saw it! And it was soooo good.

I watched it with my nephew who was having his 11th birthday. I was worried that they wouldn't let him 'coz I thought the movie is rated PG13. So on our way there, I "briefed" him that he is actually 13 years old and that he was born in 2002. I know, I know, I'm so bad. -_- Then we got to the cinema in SM City Cebu, I saw that it was PG. Ahahahaha.

So anyway, the movie is so awesome. I've never loved a Star Wars movie more than this one. Everybody is so awesome. I have a crush on Poe, dammit! But I ship him with Finn ~ And Rey -- oh my god, talk about amazing. She's a hero. I love her. That moment when she holds the lightsaber and the music rose -- WOW! I felt like watching Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones say "Dracarys" for the first time. Also BB-8 is sooo cuuute! I love it.

I'm just gonna rave about the movie because it deserves it. If I must nitpick, the final sequence with Rey going off to find Luke Skywalker was a little strange and didn't seem like it belonged in the movie. Apparently, I'm not the only one who noticed this, too. But I actually didn't mind it very much because the movie was so good I didn't want it to end. And having that sequence follow right after the conclusion of the battle felt like having been gifted with an extra 15 minutes of a movie I couldn't get enough of. It was great.

So if you haven't seen it, GO WATCH IT!

Flexing my drawing muscles

Why, I do think I still have them. MEDIUM: water color pencils. SIZE: 768 x 1024 A little background? This is a very old concept art I had for a comic book story I was planning to make with Frank. It's based on the Binyan myth that seeks to explain why the tides rise during full moon. It's my favorite ancient Filipino myth, so... I got the inspiration for the fish dude's bright colors from a parrot fish that I ate for dinner last night. 0.O

Moview Review: The Lady Shogun and Her Men

I've heard about this story for sometime now. The Japanese title is Ooku , which refers to the chamber in the shogun's castle where all the women of the shogun's harem are kept. However, Yoshinaga Fumi's manga, on which this movie is adapted, adds a twist: the shogun is a woman and beautiful men fill her harem. THE STORY In the year 1716 Japan, most of the men have died from a deadly disease that only affects men, resulting in their population dwindling to as much as 1/4 of the total population of women. Consequently, women fill in the traditional roles of men, performing hard labor, managing businesses and running government while men are pampered, protected and allowed only to indulge in light entertainment. In this nonexistent Japan lives Mizuno Yunoshin (Kazunari Ninomiya), a teenager from an impoverished samurai class family. He likes fencing and his childhood friend, O-Nobu (Horikita Maki), but because of his family's financial status (O-Nobu is a daugh

Movie Review: Solanin

This is a manga turned into a live-action film. I don't really trust adaptations like this. There is always something lost along the way. It could be the expressions of the characters. Manga characters are frequently entertaining because of their exaggerated expressions, something which not many Japanese actor/actress can pull out. But despite all these initial misgivings, I decided to give Solanin a go because I loved the manga version that much and I'm kind of a fan of Miyazaki Aoi. THE STORY Meiko, played by Miyazaki Aoi ( Nana, Tada Kimi wo Aoshiteru, Eureka ) is a young office lady who, unable to bear the mundane reality of a desk job, quits and settles into a year of lazy unemployment. Her spur-of-the-moment decision creates a domino effect as her live-in boyfriend, Taneda, begins to feel that it is now up to him to bear the burden of responsibility. He sees that his part-time job as a graphic designer doesn't pay enough to support both of them and his band, c
