The Twilight Saga - Eclipse the Movie - A Choice Between Vampire and Werewolf



If you enjoy watching movies, you must be familiar with The Twilight Saga. The Twilight Saga movies are adaptations of the books written by Stephanie Meyer in the same titles. The first movie, Twilight, was reaching its success in 2008. Furthermore, the second movie, New Moon, was also following the success of the first movie in 2009. In the middle of this year, Summit Entertainment will bring Eclipse as the third movie for all fans of the Twilight Saga in throughout the world.

In this third movie, you will find that a new Victoria. In the previous two movies, the character of Victoria is played by actress Rachelle Lefevre. The new Victoria in Eclipse will be Bryce Dallas Howard, an actress that born in Chicago on March 2, 1981. She was starring in some movies such as The Village (2004), As You Like It (2006) and Lady in the Water (2006). Besides, she was also replacing Nicole Kidman in Manderlay (2005).

Some interesting things also happen during the making of this third movie. Jackson Rathbone, the actor who plays Jasper Cullen, accidentally lost his script one day, and suddenly that script got leaked on to the Internet. However, people do not need to read this script to know what will happen in the movie. People know everything about the plot clearly from the book.

Surely, Eclipse is a continuance for the previous two movies. However, the focus now is about some choices should be taken by Bella. Mysterious killings are happening in Seattle that makes the condition worse. Meanwhile, Bella once again should face dangerous situation resulted from the effort of Victoria to kill her. Bella also still have to make a choice between Edward and Jacob means that she has to choose between love and friendship. Besides, Bella also need to make a decision while her graduation is quickly approaching, namely choosing her death or life.

If you are movie lover or even a fan of The Twilight Saga, you can enjoy this movie in the middle of the year. This movie will be released in United States on 30 June 2010. While waiting for the movie, I think you can read the book first to make you know better about the movie.

Repo Men

Was able to see the trailer of Repo Men. Basically the story is about a man who wants to be out of what he is doing because he has turned into the very person he is after. 

The future has become a time where life could actually be extended by having body parts that are made possible by the advances of science. Artificial heart, kidney, lungs, and any part that you need are made in factory. Yes it will make you alive but it will not only break your bank but also end your life.

A company, The Union, has monopolized the business and when one has defaulted on his or her payments they sent the Repo Men, short for repossession men. These parts have become like the ordinary car or house that you buy that when not paid on time a legal action of repossession can be implemented even at the risk of one’s life. 

The lead actor played by Jude Law is a Repo Men. He and his partner,Forest Withaker, are skilled in the business of taking back what the company owns. Until one time Jude law suffers from a heart attack and wakes up that his heart was replaced by the company. He now owes his life to the company. But as he returns to his work as Repo man it seems that he cannot do his job anymore, his heart was not into it anymore. He wants to get out of the business but because the heart that keeps him alive is of the company he is now hunted by his very partner(as per the trailer, not sure about this). 

The movie will be shown this coming Friday. Let’s us see how will end or fare. The ending seems that he will escape it and lead a run and hide life or will he shut down the company that hunts those that owe it for the body parts.

Green Zone: My personal review(for those who haven't watch it yet dont read this spoiler)


Today I finally watch Green Zone.

The movie as usual truly is an action pack one with the performance of Matt Damn as Chief Roy Miller. His mission was to locate Saddam's WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) which was known from a source called Magellan. The repeated failed missions made him realize something is wrong with the intelligence that he and his men are getting. They have searched premises of the alleged storage sites and all were just bunch of old warehouse. He has brought up the matter to his superiors but was brush off because at that time they US were publicizing that they have won the war in Iraq.

The remaining army of Saddam has stayed and secretly holding meetings to possibly re-establish Iraq by either accepting cooperation with the US or by fighting and keeping the resistance. One of Saddam’s top general, Al Rawi, was spotted by Freddie (Khalid Abdalla) in a house where the remaining loyal armies of Saddam are holding meeting and reported it to Miller’s team. Miller decided to trust this information because of the false intels he has been getting and eventually have a lead in what is really happening. In their raid, Miller got a hold of a notebook which contains secret hideouts and whereabouts of the remaining top generals lead by Al Rawi. Miller was able to get a hold of one of the people in the secret meeting and was about to get information but was suddenly interrupted when a group of helicopters swoop in and took the men Miller has. They insisted on having the notebook but Miller secretly passes it to Freddie. 

The incident led Miller to contact CIA operative Martin. Miller gave the notebook to Martin and told him about the men some soldiers took which he believed will give valuable information about Al Rawi. In the same time Miller was spotted by Lawrie Dayne, a WSJ journalist that wrote about a secret source Magellan.
In the end Miller finally found out the Al Rawi was Magellan and that the information that he was getting was actually false. In his face to face talk with Al Rawi, He found out that Al Rawi talked to US officials in Jordan regarding the WMD and Al Rawi told them that all WMD were destroyed. But to justify the war in Iraq a false lead was leak to Lawrie Dayne and eventually the world thought that there a still WMD in Iraq. Finally Al Rawi was killed by Freddie. Miller confronted Poundstone regarding what he did to make the world believe of the WMD in Iraq. 

The movie ended with Lawrie Dayne receiving an email from Miller stating to make things right. And what is attached is a document proving the false reports about WMD and the actual leak out information by Magellan. The same email was sent to other publications to spread the truth about WMD.

The movie is a classic rub-out operations just like the stories that we hear or see in the news. The movie was rated R due to the action and graphic content. The way the film was made is as if you were there but not 3D. During the chase and the  action scenes, the camera is moving with the actors thus it is kinda hard to focus. Story line is great and that the location truly represent that of Iraq. 

The movie was based on a novel. The validity of the story should not be taken as true or fact but rather one should research about the truth about the said WMD.

The Book of Eli



I know this review is quite late but I just wanna share my insights about the movie.

The Book of Eli revolves around the importance of a book which the surviving inhabitants of Earth after a great tragedy is fighting for. In the future times where rights and respect are forgone and the land has been desolate that food and water is the most important thing, the book is seen as a weapon of control. The book that is the center of the movie is the Holy Bible. Religion is seen as a weapon of getting people with no hope to hope in the person who possess the Bible.

House MD



House, also known as House, M.D., is an American television medical drama that debuted on the Fox network on November 16, 2004. The program was co-created by David Shore and Paul Attanasio; Fox officially credits Shore as creator. The show's central character is Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie),

an unconventional medical genius who heads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton‑Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. The character has similarities to Sherlock Holmes: both are forensic geniuses, musicians, drug users, aloof, and largely friendless. The show's premise originated with Attanasio, while Shore was primarily responsible for the conception of the title character. The show's executive producers include Shore, Attanasio, Attanasio's business partner Katie Jacobs, and film director Bryan Singer. It is largely filmed in Century City.

Dr. House often clashes with his boss, hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine Dr. Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), and his diagnostic team, because many of his hypotheses about patients' illnesses are based on subtle or controversial insights. House's only true friend is Dr. James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), head of the Department of Oncology. During the first three seasons House's diagnostic team consists of Dr. Robert Chase (Jesse Spencer), Dr. Allison Cameron (Jennifer Morrison), and Dr. Eric Foreman (Omar Epps). At the end of the third season, this team disbands.


Rejoined by Foreman, House gradually selects three new team members: Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley (Olivia Wilde), Dr. Chris Taub (Peter Jacobson), and Dr. Lawrence Kutner (Kal Penn). Along with Foreman, the other members of the original team still appear in different roles at the hospital; Kutner was written out of the series toward the end of season 5, as were Taub and Thirteen at the beginning of season 6.



House is critically acclaimed and has high viewership ratings. It was among the top ten rated shows in the United States from its second through its fourth season; in the 2008–09 season, it fell to nineteenth overall. Distributed to 66 countries, House was the most watched television program in the world in 2008. The show has received several awards, including a Peabody Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and three Primetime Emmy Awards. It is now on its 6th season.

Blood Diamond


Seen this movie in DVD and then on TV lately and it still captivates in me the sacrifice of Danny Archer(played by Leonardo DiCaprio).



The story revolves around a diamond found by Solomon Vandy(played by Djimon Hounsou)while he was held captive in a war torn Sierra Leone in 1996. Archer, a diamond smuggler, hopes to get what Vandy has found but was left in the RUF mine camp. In order for Archer to get it back he uses a cover as a journalist by asking Maddy Bowen(Jennifer Connelly)to bring them to the site in exchange of giving her information regarding the diamond trade of war torn countries term "Blood Diamond".

The struggle of identity brought out by the war and the harsh life of Archer made him want the Diamond and hoping to leave such life and have a better life through this last trade, the last diamond. In Vandy and Archer's escape, Archer got shot. In the end Archer let go of that dream of becoming free from the Africa, that is to be free from the war torn life that he has by giving the very thing he wants to Vandy. Vandy continued the plan with Maddy to expose the trade of Blood Diamond and standing up to unite his family broken by war and leaving what Archer could have had.
