Hollywood Movies, TV and Actors

Hey guys! I’ll let you in on this one. I got the chance to check out http://www.moviesplanet.com this evening and found out some of the best films that online users rank as their favorite. I was not surprised because apparently they have the same taste as I do!

The best ones perhaps are obvious; The Lord of the Rings sequels is on top because a lot of people are fond of these periodic/fantasy based stories. The book itself was a best seller so why shouldn’t the movie do the same? I don’t know if it was part of Oprah’s Book Club but that really went skyrocketing in the box office. The Return of the King was my favorite too because of that very nostalgic scene where the White Wizard went back for a vengeance on the kingdom. The entire king’s horses and all the king’s men were there not just for the magic and might; the story was grand and the execution of the movie from book to the silver screen was great. Obviously millions watched it already and the producers have earned a lot from it too. I bought several copies of that because some of my friends took mine, it’s that nice believe me! I too am part of its followers, not to mention the Harry Potter series as well. These are the top movies.

I don’t know about the popular tv shows on their list though because most of them are just not my type. To tell you the truth I love the show “Gilmore Girls”, not because of the fine women they have on the show but because they talk fast and they are all witty to begin with. Their lines are so effective and I can’t contain myself to try and learn how to talk the same way. If I had a syndicated show, it will probably be on that level. Some sort of a high IQ high verbal talk in everyday life would be nice. I still love the Simpson’s and Bart though which is part of that.

Heath Ledger just won best supporting actor a while ago, the Golden Globes is definitely right in doing so. His acting skill as the Joker was incomparable. I felt afraid with his character really; to think he already passed away when these were shown. That made huge waves across Hollywood and it was good critics did not fail to recognize it. The life he had and its ending was tragic. This particular recognition says what he is all in all and he’s not just one of those famous actors, he’s one of the best!

KUMAGCOW MOOOOVIE REVIEWS : DESPERADAS 2 (All we need is Love)

I had a blast last night when I went out with my friends to watch this Comedy film from the Metro Manila Film Festival called DESPERADAS 2 (All we need is Love). This is a sequel to the same film title last year which I watched with a different girlfriend lolz. It was nice to say at least becaus I was smiling at times and that's pretty hard to do in my books. Ruffa Gutierrez, Rufa Mae Quinto, Iza Calzado, Marian Rivera along with their fifth long-lost sister, Ogie Alcasid star in this very funny movie. I recommend you watch it!



Why you may ask?! I found it hilarious for one and you should never miss Ogie's role. That was the best! Ruffa (Isabella) is a non committing lady that tries a skin care business and made everybody else ugly. She was jailed in the last bit but bailed out by Ogie's character Luga Luda who is a princess of some filthy rich foreign island and kingdom in Africa. Rufa Mae (Patricia) had a rich boyfriend/politician that only made her into a bag lady for gambling/jueteng operations. The shopping was not that bad though... everybody enjoyed that in the movie. Iza (Stephanie) was a postpartum depression victim... after giving birth, she went to extremes of even trying to commit suicide in their front lawn. Eventually she was saved by a raindance by Ogie hahah. Marian (Courtney) is still a designer of underwear and bikinis that had a stalker and never got into bed with her husband because she said she was not prepared to have a baby. Ogie (Luga Luda) had a wonderful stint of having a boy of her own...her antics were just fun! I couldnt stop laughing in the massage scene. Poor boy got kissed a couple of times too hahaha. She had an unbreakable bond as half-sisters. The five are brought together by the love and affection they hold for each other.

All in all this was a nice movie. I don't watch Filipino Movies that much because they are somtimes predictable and too commercial. This was great considering they only landed on the 4th spot in the festival. If I were to judge they should have been second to Ang Tanging Ina nyong Lahat. ^_^ You should watch it since I gave it 4 KUMAGS out of FIVE.

Google Money Tree Legal Battle

I heard cyberspace crime has gotten more advanced these days but now even web masters fall victim to these people from a Google Money Tree scam which supposedly hailed from and advertising company called Hydra Affiliate Network. An innocent publisher of http://www.shoemoney.com just got his picture posted in major Internet websites and was claimed to have participated in such horrendous operations of the site without his knowledge. It was even posted in major websites such as ESPN, THE HUFFINGTON POST and FOX NEWS. The list just goes on and on but they never even stopped. I just smell a major lawsuit in his hands because I believe he has been wronged and marred of his credibility. I just hope the Gods and Goddesses of the Internet listens to this innocent man’s plea for justice on a complicated version of identity theft.

What if this happened to us? I wouldn’t handle it this well to tell you frankly. I know there are huge scams in the Internet and I don’t want to be part of it. Getting someone's picture without his permission is just wrong. You can invoke all the rights in the world as you would like but if your turn comes and your privacy is on the line, you should never settle with what they want. You need to continuously fight and they on the other hand need to pay for what they did wrong. We always get that short warning of copyrighted images in the search engines, why on earth don’t we just practice netiquette where it’s supposed to. That’s just not right!

Disbarment VS Alabang Boys Attorney Mulled

VACC is now taking action on this Alabang Boys Lawyer!

A disbarment case against 2 of the infamous Alabang Boys was filed in the Supreme Court. Attorney Felisberto Verano is now under heavy scrutiny. Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption's chair Dante Jimenez filed a letter complaint for disbarment versus the said lawyer.

His actions were said out of context of the code of conduct of Lawyers for fixing release papers of the said publicly villained Alabang Boys. They said these ways of Verano should be stopped immediately because the Law is nothing to be played with. He also was complained about using a government agency's letter head even if he is in private practive. Everything is attached to the complaint, now it's up to the courts to spank this bad boy if he is proven guilty.
