Movie of the Week: The Breakup

• No, this is not a documentary about the Brad/Jennifer breakup and no, Vince Vaughn is not playing Brad Pitt.
• Mas maganda yung alternate ending sa DVD although medyo freaky yung song and dance number nung brother ni Jennifer at nung bading niyang officemate na receptionist ni M. Dean.
• Nakakaaliw si M. Dean.
• Mas may laman yung alternate ending kasi nagkita sila tapos yung mga bago nilang partners ay carbon copy ng isa’t isa kesa naman yung ending sa sinehan na nagkita lang sila tapos wala lang. Corny.

79th Annual Academy Awards: Bakit ba attend ng attend si J.Lo sa Oscars? Iniimbita siya lagi? Bakit siya iniimbita lagi? Basta naeepalan ako sa kanya. After Eddie Murphy lost Best Supporting Actor for Dreamgirls I was hoping for a Kikuchi/Blanchett upset win over Jennifer Hudson but it didn’t happen. I haven’t seen Dreamgirls yet but I think JHud is overrated. Bakit ba kailangan sumigaw ni JHud kapag kumakanta? Tama ang comment sa kanya ni Simon Cowell, OVERSINGING! Why does she have to oversing every song she sings? At siyempre sapawan naman sila ni Beyoncé sa stage, hindi na lang kumuha ng tig-isang silya at naghampasan sa labas ng Kodak Theatre -- yun tuloy mas maganda ang performance nung isa pang Dreamgirl na hindi napansin at siya pa ang pinakamaganda at maayos sa kanilang tatlo. Dreamgirls was nominated for three Oscars in the Original Song category but Inconvenient Truth’s theme song won! This means that at first it might seem that multiple nominations in a category is great but actually not because of vote-splitting. I think yun din ang nangyari kay Kikuchi/Barazza sa Supporting Actress category. Moral lesson – don’t pray for a multiple nomination in a single category unless you are Catherine Zeta-Jones and the other one is Queen Latifah, hehehe... Mabuti naman at nagsuot ng matinong gown si Rinko Kikuchi, akala ko kasi uulitin niya yung suot niya sa Golden Globes, yung may mga nakasabit na mothballs. Nakakaaliw din yung Miranda Priestly moment ni Meryl Streep nung announcement ng Best Costume category by Anne Hathaway/Emily Blunt, sayang hindi siya nanalo (Meryl). I think 14th nomination na niya ito – record holder. Ang galing nung shadow presentations ng mga movie kaso parang nasobrahan. Ok si Ellen Degeneres as host, tawa ako ng tawa dun sa correction niya na di raw mata ang pinapaopera ni Judy Dench kaya hindi nakarating – boobs daw, ang kulit talaga, hehehe. Pan’s Labyrinth should have won Best Foreign Language Film! Naaawa ako kay Peter O’Toole, kahit may honorary Oscar na siya, iba pa rin kapag nanalo ka sa competitive, sa itsura pa naman niya mukhang hindi na siya uli makakagawa ng pelikula. Natutuwa naman ako for Scorsese, after 26 years na pala, tiyaka lang siya nanalo!

Showbiz: Kailan ba titigil yung issue tungkol kay Kris Aquino? Ano Araw araw na lang pangatlong lingo na ito ha! Kapag tinakbo si Kris sa ospital news agad! Can’t they just shut up and move on already? Ano bang pakialam natin kung ano man ang mangyari sa buhay buhay ng mga yan. E kaso ganun talaga, for ratings sake. Unfortunately the ratings agree – we are indeed a starstruck nation...

Work: Medyo narealize ko lang na dapat din pala seryosohin ang work, lol. Meron kasing dalawang agents na na suspend tapos may kumalat na memo na di na sila part ng company. Nireklamo raw ng customers! Aba may ganung factor pala sa opisina na ito! Hahaha, siguro kailangan mag ingat. Wala lang, part kasi ng three-year plan starting June ang work na ito kaya wag dapat masira.

Books: Napansin ko lang na cliché na ang formula ng mga libro ngayon. Take for example The Da Vinci Code – The Historian – The Romanov Prophecy: lagi na lang may lalaking bida na nag iimbestiga ng isang mystery na sikat na dati, makakakilala ng leading lady accidentally na malamang konektado sa past mystery na iniimbestigahan, may secret organization. Paulit ulit na lang. Tsk tsk.
