| G.I Joe The Rise of Cobra: The Rise of What? |
| 2009-08-26 07:13:00 |
Since I’ve heard of some good reviews and I just don't want to be left out of the discussion on the latest comic book movies, I had to see it.And I did just last weekend.I never had a chance to follow the stories on cartoon TV so I didn’t know anything about G.I Joes except that they are a bunch of American superhero types of soldiers. I was hoping the movie wouldn’t confuse me more than just enjoy it.The movie started with your typical defense contractor type of agency called MARS who had just created a new weapon of mass destruction in the form of “nanomites” capable of eating any metals in just minutes.I don’t know which nation bought it, but it was being shipped from the company headquarters to the buyer which probably is NATO since NATO forces were in charge of its securi...

| The Hangover: This You'd Like to Have |
| 2009-08-11 16:05:00 |
It’s been more than a week since I saw this movie. At first I was just curious about what funny stuff might be in the movie since it was set in Las Vegas. And since it was about a bachelor party in the adult entertainment center of the world, it’s sure to have some serious but hilarious fun.The movie started on the day the friends of the groom delivered the bad news to the bride... the groom is missing. And that the wedding might not push through.Flashback to two days earlier when these guys embarked on a road trip to Vegas, the groom played by Justin Bartha was joined by his friends, dentist Stu (Ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper), a schoolteacher and the groom’s future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis).Before the night started, they all went up on top of the roof of the Caesa...

| Who Watches The Watchmen? |
| 2009-07-22 05:48:00 |
I had seen the movie in theaters months ago but for some reason I haven’t posted a review yet. But now that the DVD is out, I need to fill this out.Who watches the watchmen? At least I did. I was adamant on not passing on this one. I have passed Iron man on theaters before and when I finally saw it months later, I was sorry I didn’t see it on the big screen. You see, a good movie is best seen on the wide screen, with all the walls bombarding you with the sounds that come along with it.And of course, the popcorn.The movie started off on flashbacks on the world fed up with vigilantism and the superheroes who were working for the government. It was set on a parallel American history where the US have extended Nixon’s term, the Vietnam war was won by help from the superheroes especially ...

| Up : Life is An Adventure |
| 2009-06-09 10:29:00 |
Last weekend, I went and watched the digital 3D animation Up. I knew it was from Pixar so I knew it would be good, at least to the eyes. So, wearing 3D glasses and armed with a soda and popcorn on my lap, I happily munched away the whole movie.The story started with a boy and a girl who love adventure and were so engrossed with a famous explorer who had traveled a distant but colossal waterfall, Paradise Falls, in the deep forests of South America.They shared a dream of traveling there and probably building their dream house right on top of that magnificent waterfall. They got married, wasn’t lucky to have a child, got busy with life. But at the back of their mind, the dream was still there.They grew up together, grew old together. Until the wife died and what’s left was a widower, wit...

| Not Done Yet |
| 2009-03-13 05:50:00 |
Okay. I decided, finally, not to delete this site.This was my first blog. This is where I met my first online friends, made my first buck. But I am quite busy running two sites so I had to put this on the back burner for quite a while.And since I am not giving up this site, I am re-formatting my other blogs including this one. I am keeping this mainly as a review site.Raves and reviews for most things that I love. The books, music, movies, gizmos, and yes, other blogs.Right now, I am still reading two of the latest John Grisham novels and I am very excited to do a review for you guys.I still am currently doing a line-up for other things that would go next. So see you in a couple of days....

The holidays have come and gone. I haven’t had any post since before Christmas. Updates I have a lot. I was just not posting it here.More than a year had passed since I started this thing called blogging. That was September 2007. A lot have happened since then. Most of you are privy to all of them. So I won’t reiterate them again.This year I have launched a new site, I Am Buraot, where I plan to incorporate all of my personal, literary, and political articles into one. It would be like a come as you go site for me. Everyth...

| Not Walking on Sunshine |
| 2008-12-21 03:05:00 |
It was late at night and the roads were empty. Another snowstorm is coming. Most streets were already closed. And I was just one of those few who were insane enough to be driving in this kind of weather.When I got to my car, it was already covered in white. The snow was four inches thick. I had no tool but an old CD to scrape away the smudge, clearing at least the part which I am going to need on my travel. The front and back windshield, the side mirrors, the windows.It’s a good thing that most cars nowadays do not have carburetors anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to start the engine with this freaking cold of a weather.I got out of the parking safely. But as soon as I entered the main street, I knew I would have a problem. Having no tire chain installed, it would be unwise to d...

| Bitten by the Cold |

It was my first winter here in the Pacific Northwest.Hailing from sunny California, I knew in advance that the weather would be quite different from what my body was accustomed to. So I was bracing for it. But it seems like my preparations fell a little short.The snowstorm that blew this last weekend alone gave us three to four inches of snow. Enough to cover the whole city in white, and stranded thousands. It w...

| Lost, Waiting To Be Found |
| 2008-12-03 05:25:00 |
When we lose something, we always try to find it back.No matter how long, no matter how far, once it enters our life and consciousness, it will always stay there, imbedded within the recesses of our minds, stored in the faculty of our usually faulty tiny brain capsules.I remember when I was a kid, my childish fear wouldn’t let me let go of my decaying tooth. I always thought at first that I would never get it back. But of course I found out that in time, I would. After a while, I have a brand new spankin’ tooth.It was okay to lose something, I thought. Besides, there is nothing permanent in this world. Even stars collapse in and on itself.So I have outg...
