TMNT

i watched TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) last March 30. And its April 19 already! Why the delayed blog entry? i dont know. i just wasn't in the mood to write about it. anyway, i saw it a few weeks ago and like i said to people who asked me whether its good or not, an 8 over 10 is a good rating for the movie. I liked it and its good because its really a movie (it didnt rely much on the TV series except for assuming that everybody knows the origin of the turtles). i liked its story and i liked the animation. the only problem i had is that only 2 of the turtle characters were primarily used. the two others were underdeveloped. of course, if there's a sequel, then maybe its the turn of the other two turtles to have their characters portrayed more vividly. most likely, its hard to have all four turtle characters to be treated equally in the movie, given the limitations of having a good story in a more or less 2 hour movie. another thing is its more mature theme. yeah, they're still teenagers but they aren't like the ones people remember watching from TV. The personalities are intact but the problems and situations they face have changed. the turtles' story is no longer kid stuff. they may not have grown up very much, but it shows an emphasis that they are getting older when it comes to dealing with their lives.

as for the soundtrack, its good! it really fits the movie. in my opinion, the collection of songs is like a cross between Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift soundtrack and American Pie 2 soundtrack (because these are the 2 soundtracks that the TMNT soundtrack reminded me of). what i mean is that, there are songs you would like to listen to while driving at night on a clear highway and there are songs that fit teen movies (hence, American Pie).

well, that's pretty much what i recall as the things i wanted to write about when i saw the movie a few weeks ago.

another chick to like in a chick flick

i just watched The Devil Wears Prada a few days ago (rented it), and until now, i still am not over it (what do i mean not over it? well, im still thinking of the movie even if ive seen 3-4 movies after it). For some reason, i really liked the movie. Why? I have no idea. the reason i rented it in the first place is because Gisele Bundchen was in it (i thought she had a significant role, like in the movie Taxi or was playing a supermodel character in the movie). When this movie was still playing in the theater, i didnt even show any interest in watching it.
What made me like it then? Most likely, its the characters since i know nothing about fashion. I liked Emily Blunt's character (Emily Charlton) and Meryl Streep's (Miranda Priestly). I also liked the song by KT Tunstall (Suddenly I See) at the beginning of the movie (which im listening to right now). As for the soundtrack itself, its not bad (it does not include the KT Tunstall's song, which i think is the best song in the movie, next to U2's "City of Blinding Lights" and Alanis Morissette's "Crazy").

Aside from the picture above of Gisele with Emily Blunt, here's two more nice pics of Blunt (if not for Emily Blunt, the movie would have been a big disappointment because i was really looking forward to watching Gisele Bundchen):

what if?

If I was a dog, i would probably look like this:

Why? i dont know. when my sister saw this dog, she said it looked like me. maybe because its a shady looking dog.

my N3660 on vacation

ever wondered whether im crazy or not? well, i think im not. it just so happens i have crazy ideas. like this for instance. i had my digicam and my cellphone. in addition to the two, i was bored and so, this got me thinking, what would it be like if my cellphone had a life of its own? if it had, then i think it deserved to have a break since it's been serving me for more or less three years now. it deserved a day-off (since i dont think i can allow it to "retire" any time soon since it can still fulfill its function) and have fun with its other cellphone buddies. the only social life it has is its "text" life where it gets to interact with other cellphone thru SMS. so i said, why not allow it to roam around and be with its "phone pals"? deciding to give my phone a day-off, here is a day in the life of my nokia 3660:
