Screening, Screening and Screening

This somewhat has became a routine for me to attend at least a movie screening a week but oh boy I've attended 3 screenings just this past few days - not that I'm complaining. Not to mention how much easier to get into the line without bitch Olivia. *with her cursing every five second definitely was one of the factors we got cut from Captain America. Anyway, cut the crap, below are the movies I watched recently:

Crazy Stupid Love

a cheerful comedy that's less Steve Carell-ish funny but emotionally moving. Great ensemble cast: Steve Carell, RYAN GOSLING, EMMA STONE, Julianne Moore (great great acting, definitely deserves a nom for at least Golden Globe), Marisa Tomei.. very well written script with an effing surprising twisted ending.  Love every single bit of it.  (9/10)


50/50

Another actor that can do no wrong in my dictionary: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Diagnosed with cancer at the first 10 minutes of the movie and the entire film centered on how his life turned upside down due to that. This lighthearted movie got it right most the part - actors, acting, story arc, characters, cameras, only one important issue - soundtracks. It wasn't good enough to provoke that kinda sadness or emotion the picture was trying to do. I'm kinda upset about that because it has so much potential to be better. (6.5/10)


30 Minutes or Less

The title serves the movie best - I literally feel like it was just 30 minutes or less. It has some funny moments and solid punchlines but it feels more like short film material than a long feature. A pretty refreshing story nonetheless but I found Aziz Ansari's acting and comedic timing were forced at times. Danny McBride was Danny McBride (as usual) - its all about pussies and dicks. (4.5/10)

Upcoming screenings that I most probably (or hopefully) going next week:
Rise of the Planet of Apes
Final Destination 5
Warrior

If anyone of you reading this has extra passes, you know how to contact me. :P Peace.

Totally didn't save the working file for the one with the background.. So I touch up abit the headshot

I gave up my tickets for Cowboys & Aliens today to go for another movie - 50/50. I made the rightest decision of the day! It was so so so good. The girls and uncle next to me literally can't stop crying and that made me kinda had teary eyes too. Awrghh. JGL can do no wrong, just like Gosling.

Captain America

There are two ways (generally) I get inspired to do a drawing: either I am extremely upset or I watched a movie that leave real deep impact on me. So this is me doing Captain America, literally. Still in progress because it takes the patient of god to do a painting like this. Wonder how others able to do it within 2 hours. FML
2 hours
5 hours
7 hours


Seriously I don't remember I can paint like this. Gosh. Talk about improvement

UPDATE: Done in 10 hours! Not that bad actually

4. White people care most about themselves
5. Russians are mean and egotistical
6. Philippines are lazy and drunk 48/7
7. Thai are warm
8. Japanese are polite
10.Koreans are over patriotic
11.Indians know maths the best
12.Indonesians are horny

4th of July











Beyoncé: 4


Just watched the documentary "Beyoncé: Year of 4". So inspiring. Not sure why some critics hated that album but I think its her strongest album to date. My favorite song? I Was Here. Check out the lyrics:

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, and something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I die
I know that I had something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
