I ain't really a fan of the Twilight saga. I haven't even read Twilight. I didn't do any homework before entering the movie house to watch the 2nd installment of the series. And yet, I have this natural inkling that I know everything that's gonna happen. Maybe i should just start readin' the damn book!
I actually liked New Moon way better than its predecessor[though I can't wait for The Vampire's Assistant and The Wolfman]because there was more action! I didn't know that werewolves could run faster than vampires. All this time, I thought that vampires were the shiznit!
Opening day was jam-packed! The theater was close to selling out with lots of college teens here and there. I hated standing in line with all those peepz, waitin' to get my reserved tix. I only liked how they reacted when Eddie Cullen was initially shown and when the wolfboy Jacob showed his sculpture of a body.
There were dreamy sighs and giggles here and there when these 2 scenes were shown. Edward Cullen's initial shot made teen girls sigh and scream a li'l bit. It was the innocent type like teenyboppers clamoring dreamily for the Beatles.
Jacob's body shot on the other hand, made the more sexually aggressive ladies make audible utterances to themselves while the wannabe alpha males in the sudience made sounds of intimidation and I guess a li'l bit of jealousy[because I guess they won't have a body such as Jacob's in 5 lifetimes] by exclaimin' "Whoah!!"
That was your local audience right there ladies and gentlemen.

2012[post-viewing analysis]
2012 is Typhoon Ondoy to the nth power. It's the ultimate disaster movie. It's total chaos and destruction. It's the apocalypse laced with extinction!
The remarkable thing is that humans aren't that easy to exterminate. We're too smart for that shit. If that "End Of Days" thing were true, then we somehow managed to outlive the roaches, which have been in existence for millions of years.
The problem in this movie is that salvation is reserved for a limited few and not for the worthy. Salvation can be bought for a couple hundred thousand or at least a million euros[I forgot the exact amount in the movie].
I know that what happened in the movie is virtually next to impossible. It's just that I found it absolutely bogus that John Cusack[a.k.a. "Curtis Jackson"]and family somehow survived and got out of California. Jackson was literally threading needles while driving a semi-strech limo! I kknow that it ain't real because it's justa movie. But that was really insane!
At least I saw another bright spot on the film, and that is Woody Harrelson's eccentric performance. I bet my balls he's like that in real life!

More Than A Game[post-viewing analysis]
The story of LeBron James and the Fab 5 was nice and all. Like a Cinderella story or somethin'. But I was just a tad bit underwhelmed when the movie ended. I don't know what the missin' factor was that could make this good documentary into a great documentary.
Well originally, they were the Fab 4[just like John, Paul, George, and Ringo]. Four country boys from Akron, OH who were dismantling top-seeded teams from other well known places like New York and California. They literally went from nobodies, to up and comers, to champions!
And LeBron was just amazin'. He was doin' things that were almost unheard of before, like doin' between the leg dunks during a high school game or stuff like that. Well I'm sure somebody else has done that, but James was the first guy that I was aware of who could do that.
The story of LeBron James proves that talent and hard work could get you to the "toppermost of the poppermost"[just like John Lennon says it]. I couldn't really say much because as I've said, I was pretty underwhelmed. I should've watched Astroboy instead because I'd rather watch More Than A Game on dvd.

500 Days Of Summer[post-viewing analysis]
Nice flick. Neatly done. If it were a book, I would call it an easy read.
We were warned in the beginning of the movie that it wasn't a love story. Oh how false that movie narrator turned out to be! And who would have thought that the motherfucker was Samuel L Jackson himself?!
There was kissin', and sex[shower] here and there. There was even heartbreak and marriage. Though Tom and summer weren't married. Summer seemed to marry someone she met while readin' Dorian Gray stuff.
I just wanna say that Zooey Deschanel kinda looked like Katy Perry, though not as hot as Katy because Katy's more of the voluptuous type. Zooey's like the Katy Perry prototype or somethin'. But still, Zooey was enchanting. Her eyes were like black holes, ready to suck me in.
I loved how they made references to some of my favorite musicians. Namely, The SMiths, Belle and Sebastian, and The Beatles. They even mentioned that BElle and Sebastian song, 'The Boy With The Arab Strap". Lovely stuff! Lovely flick! Lovely Zooey!
