Two more nights 'till twilight opens in movie houses everywhere (except that one along Claveria) and I'm still in doubt if I will go catch it. Wasn't able to read the book. Wasn't enticed by the trailer and, wasn't a fan of vampire after the infamous Maria Lobo (with accent) came out.
But I have this eagerness and curiosity to watch and judge the movie myself. It had mixed reviews in the US, and a rotten status in rottentomatoes.com, but the box-office receipts are somewhat contradicting. (Go check out box office listing). They said that you wouldn't appreciate the film if you haven't read the book, which is of course not in line with my expertise.(reading)."The movie turned out to be nothing but a chick flick of fake fangs", says someone in the forum, "The chemistry of the two leads is undeniably vibrant and affectionate", says another one. The latter turned out to be an avid fan of the book, while the former is a certified macho who loves blood bathe and R rated films. Whose side are you in favor now?
Anyway, I have my own analysis. I loved Perfume: The Story of a Murderer though it was inferior in reviews and I haven't read the novel first. I love Interview with the Vampire, and Underworld which in fact is something about creatures with emphatic tooth. So, I'll go watch it on wednesday, and if this turn out to be good, Thanks. And if it isn't, well Bolt might save my day.

Enchanted ( Walt Disney) - The tale follows the beautiful princess Giselle as she is banished by an evil queen from her magical, musical animated land--and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. Shocked by this strange new environment that doesn't operate on a "happily ever after" basis, Giselle is now adrift in a chaotic world badly in need of enchantment. But when Giselle begins to fall in love with a charmingly flawed divorce lawyer who has come to her aid--even though she is already promised to a perfect fairy tale prince back home--she has to wonder: can a storybook view of romance survive in the real world?| Amy Adams, James Marsden, Idina Menzel, Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey |
August Rush (Warner Bros.) - August Rush" tells the story of a charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) who have a chance encounter one magical night above New York's Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, August Rush, orphaned by circumstance. Now performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams), August (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.

(I decided not to give awards in the field of television (even though some voted via online) to maintain the image of the Philippine Sampaloc Awards as strictly for movies only. But, I don't stand firm with my decision, maybe next year I would open again the votation but to ensure all of you, the 3rd Philippine Sampaloc Awards will have more surprises and excitement!)
To the unlucky chosen one,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
And better luck next time.,-bt
