I watched District 9 yesterday, and I liked it. peter jackson galeng mo! documentary ung pag present ng story about aliens na stranded sa earth specifically in south africa. Contrary sa mga alien movies we have watched before instead of doing everything we can to make them leave the earth this time a group of bureaucrats placed them in a government refugee. they gave them names! hehehe and houses in short parang inampon. this is how this movie is different from other alien movies kaya sya naging maganda (well atleast for us who loved it) until the time na nadiscover ni Wikus (bida) ang isang canister containing a liquid from alien technology - parang langis ng mothership nila. Na expose sya turning him into one of the aliens referred to as "Prawns" sa movie kasi para silang malalaking hipon. (malamang prawns nga eh) then nalaman ng MNU where he works for - a military contractor na ung pag infect sa kanya ng liquid na yun allows him to use the alien weapons na na-harvest nila na akala nila useless dati for humans. so knowing this gusto nila iharvest ung organs ni Wikus para i-study nila and of course hindi gusto un ni Wikus kasi sempre mamatay sya duh! hehehe...kaya in short naging fugitive sya...then nalaman un ng isa sa mga alien na kinausap nya para irelocate na apparently for the last 20 years they spent at earth eh gumagawa pala ng paraan to go back to the mothership, sinabi nya kay wikus na pwede nyang ibalik sya sa normal ulit. ang problem ung liquid na un is na confiscate ng MNU so they teamed up to steal the liquid. . however nahuli sila wikas and christopher - name ng alien and Wikus sacrificed para makatakas si christopher he promise na babalik sya to cure him - so may friendship na nabuo between human and alien - parang E.T. movie lang galing ng transition ng story. not to mention na they spent only 30 million but the special effects and alien characters polido ung pagkakagawa. ang hindi lng maganda sa movie is medyo madaming putol and also the only question i had was why in south africa? parang meron stinger na may kasunod kasi sabi sa ending nalipat din ung mga alien sa District 10 and the promise of the alien na babalik in 3 years (un daw ung time para maka gawa ulit ng liquid to tranform Wikus back to human form) although sa end ng movie pinakita na full blown alien na si Wikus. try nyo lang

Actually there's a lot of great music from this movie. If you're a music lover you will appreciate and learn where did all our current music now where influenced by the artist featured on this soundtrack. Below is just few of the music featured on the movie.

Tiny Dancer

Elton John

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band

Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man

Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand

And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street

Handing tickets out for God

Turning back she just laughs

The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand

In the auditorium

Looking on she sings the songs

The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real

Lying here with no one near

Only you, and you can hear me

When I say softly, slowly

chorus

Hold me closer tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

you had a busy day today

[repeat chorus]

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band

Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man

Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand

And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

But oh how it feels so real

Lying here with no one near

Only you, and you can hear me

When I say softly, slowly

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus]

You've Lost That Loving Feeling by hall and oates...hehehhehe....funny how we remember those songs from back then when were babies...perhaps thats explain that even as babies can remember what are parents used to play then

so far just few of pinoy movies i loved. And I love You So ni bea. Lines are good, although parang napanood mo na ung story line from an english movie pero magaleng pa rin. also yesterday i watched Fireproof its about marriage...saving marriage from annulment... it was a really touchy how the guy saved the marriage not the typical story where women are the one who always wants to save their marriage. watch it. next: district 9. ill post kung its worth watching.
