Triple Movie Review! :D

I watched quite some movies over this summer and I feel like reviewing some of them. :D

1. The Runaways 

 I have always wanted to watch this movie since I've always like The Runaways' song "Cherry Bomb". Kristen Stewart plays Joan Jett while Dakota Fanning plays Cherie Curie in the film. If you ask me what rating I'd give this film, I'll definitely say a 9/10. This movie met my expectations of being far from cutesy and girly by being dark and angsty.



My favorite scene? Definitely when Joan reinvents a plain white shirt by spray painting "Sex Pistols", distressing and adding safety pins to it! I love Joan's wardrobe in the film in general.



 2. Prom

 Unlike The Runaways, this is a film anyone could watch. Prom is a movie featuring stories of teens having dilemmas before their big night. Will they ever have the night of their dreams? If you have some time to catch a teen movie with an easy and predictable plot, then Prom will be your best match.



I may not be entirely sold on this movie, but I do find Nolan Sotillo's charatcer cute(and Nolan himself. lol)



3. Burlesque

This movie has received mixed reviews when it came out, but I happen to like this film! It's entertaining with the amazing musical numbers and costumes. The plot is not too bad and Christina Aguillera definitely got the pipes that rival anyone.



 Ooooh, and Cam Gigandet stars in this, too! Total eye candy! Haha!

Will You Kiss Me, Will?

I know this happened last month pa, but I can't help but state my opinion on this.

 Last month, Will Smith attended the premiere to his latest movie, "Men in Black 3" in Russia. He stopped to do an interview for a reporter when suddenly, that reporter kisses him making Will slap him on the face and walk away angry.



Of course, most people were on Will's side. I mean, if a dude suddenly kisses you, who wouldn't freak, right?

But Will is in frickin Russia. It's customary to greet someone with a kiss there, even if it's a guy to a guy. I think Will was wrong. He's in another country and should've practiced their etiquette before going there.

You can choose not to greet a person with a kiss, though, but at least say so politely instead of doing something rude and calling that person crazy(Will did this). It's a blow to anyone's ego, really.

The journalist apologized but I don't hear reports of Will ever saying sorry for slapping that poor guy. Am I the only one in the world who thinks Will should've said sorry to this Russian dude? Seriously?

Too Cool For School(mates)

School time is finally here! A groan/sigh of relief for me, really.

I love school. I may have a love/hate relationship with studying but I value school too much. But one thing is clear on what I hate about school: the people.

Yes. I hate them all. (Well, not really since I have a handful of friends naman)

Okay. I know I'm being too harsh but I always have a reason. A lot of people seem to hate me in school. I get made fun of, called names at, get harassed and the like there.(no physical abuse, though. Not that I recall of...yet).

I can't help but feel a bit nervous when I go back to school. I dealt with these people for one whole year and while I survived, I will always remember how I suffered emotional breakdowns at home since I couldn't take it anymore. The thought of wanting to be back in my old school was stamped in my head daily. Seriously, that's how bad things got in my current school.

A guidance counselor advised me that I shouldn't let these people get into my head. There will always be those people who'll bring you down when they know you are getting way ahead. I don't know why people like to spend their time bringing people down; they could just concentrate on being the best themselves, you know.

Also, he said I shouldn't move out of my current school because of these people. I achieved so much already. No matter how much I never thought of it, I still stayed strong and concentrated on my priorities than mind the treatment people gave me in school.

My friends also tell me that I should just think about who these people who tease me are. Most--if not all--are basically students with failing grades. Students who are malandi. Students who like to cut classes. Students who don't really have huge goals. Basically, students who will never, ever get out of this town.

So...in some sort of way, even if these people messed around with me, I still have the last laugh on them. They can say anything they want, but what do they have to bring to the table against ME? Doing drugs? Have 50 boyfriends? Repeated a grade level? Shame. Such a shame.

To all my haters in school, I salute you with my middle finger whilst greeting "Fuck You" to all of you.

As I type this sentence, the nervousness I felt about going back to school is suddenly turned into confidence and vengeance. Hahaha ;D
