Coming Soon to a Theater Near You...

Hollywood has lots in store for movie-addicts. I've been spending a lot of time on the Net lately, and I've read about and seen a lot of new movies that will certainly be awesome to watch in the moviehouse. I may not be an expert critic, but I bet a lot of people will agree with me when I say that watching these following movies is a must.

1. Hellboy: The Golden Army
The first one was surprisingly good, and based on the trailer that I saw, the second one is even better. The lighting was greatly improved and the cinematography is awesome.

2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Those born in the '80s would have to agree that Wolverine is the best mutant ever. Agility - 7. Fighting Ability - 7. Sounds geeky knowing those stats, eh? I don't care. My friends and I are gonna troop to the mall to see this one.

3. Street Fighter: Chun-Li
Kristin Kreuk stars in this movie. I recently found out (because of my Smallville addiction) that she's half-Dutch and half-Chinese. You may have guessed from the name alone. She was lame in Seasons 1-3 of Smallville, but she proved that she can kick ass in Seasons 4-7.

4. Justice League: Mortal
Millions of fans went to the moviehouses to watch Superman Returns and Batman Begins. What if you put these two superheroes together along with The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter? It is a dream come true for every child of the '60s, '70s and '80s.

5. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I watched The Mummy and The Mummy Returns about four times each. I can't think of anything that can prevent me from doing the same with the third installment of the movie. I've seen the trailer, and it seems it will live up to the hype.

Clark and Chloe Video

I have a new addiction, and it's called Smallville! I wasn't too thrilled about the show before, but i recently bought (out of boredom) DVDs of Seasons 1-6. As soon as I started watching the pilot episode, I knew I was hooked. I have to admit, the storyline kinda gets redundant as the season progresses, but it's all good. It gets a bit cheesy at times, but I'm all for it. Besides, it's better than watchin' lame-ass shows on TV.

Even before I began watchin' Smallville, I've already seen the Collide (Howie Day) mix video posted on YouTube which focuses on Clark and Lana's relationship. I don't know what the big deal about Lana is, I think Chloe is way prettier. I found a huge stack of videos on Live Video, and most of them center on Clark and Lana. However, I did a little digging and found a good Clark and Chloe video. I wanna share it with you.

CLARK AND CHLOE ! Smallville !

P.S. You might wanna brace yourself 'coz you're gonna read a lot about Smallville in the course of a few weeks...

Must-See Movies

I love watching movies on the big screen. Just recently, I saw two trailers, and they blew me away. During the first quarter of the year, I thought the movies this year won't be as good as the ones released in 2007. I couldn't have been more wrong. It turns out, movies are gettin' better and better.

One of the trailers is of the Wanted movie. It stars Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman and a guy that I don't know, who happens to be the main protagonist named Wes. I pretty much got the gist from the trailer. The guy's dad dies. His dad turned out to be an assasin, and was part of the Fraternity. Fox (played by Angelina Jolie) recruits Wes and trains him. He found out that being an assasin is in his genes. There's a twist at the end that I don't want to reveal, lest I spoil the movie for you. The Wanted movie got an R-rating for violence, among others. That's more reason to watch it.


I saw this trailer on TV, and it was of the Hancock movie. It stars Will Smith, one of my favorite actors. And judging by the blockbuster success of his movies, I bet a lot of other people like him as well. And Charlize Theron is in the movie. A definite must-watch. Here's the plot. Hancock (Will Smith) is a well-intentioned superhero who leaves damage in the wake of his heroics (mainly because he's always drunk). The citizens of Los Angeles are grateful that they have their very own superhero, but then again, in their opinion Hancock does them more harm than good. Until one day, Hancock rescues a corporate PR in the person of Jason Bateman. The latter tries to give Hancock a makeover so people would like him. The hero fell for Bateman's wife (Charlize Theron). Not that complicated, eh?! We'll have to see what happens in the end.


I have yet to find trailers that I can embed here. So if you know of a site that has one, give me a buzz.

Streetball: Second Strike

Our second game in the streetball tournament was held last night. We played against the Yellow team. We started out on a 14-2 run, but that lead was short-lived because the Yellow team had a new player on their roster who can score at will. He was a couple of inches taller than me, and really athletic. However, we were still able to hold them at bay. We led by as much as 11 in the 3rd, but we didn't let ourselves get too comfortable with the lead. I was on and off the floor because I got into early foul trouble. With 5 minutes left in the 4th, I fouled out. We were leading by 6 points at that time. That lead was eradicated in an instant. With 3 minutes left in the game, the score was tied. My teammates took over. Terminator made a couple of clutch free throws. Chayee aka Fire & Ice got to the line and delivered as well. D'Unpredictable put the nail in the coffin with an And1 shot. It was a total team effort. I'm looking forward to playing against the DMS team, which in my opinion is the best team in the league. Tomorrow, we'll have to see if that holds true.

P.S. Leonel caught the game on video, but I wasn't able to get hold of a copy. When I do, I'll post it asap.

Presenting the USA Basketball Team

And then there were 12...

From a pool of 33, 12 NBA players were chosen to represent the US in the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics. Their first game will be against China, and that will be on Aug. 10. I just hope that the USA Basketball squad will be able to redeem themselves this year.

On the team are:

Kobe Bryant
LeBron James
Dwyane Wade
Tayshaun Prince
Carlos Boozer
Chris Bosh
Dwight Howard
Chris Paul
Michael Redd
Deron Williams
Carmelo Anthony
Jason Kidd

If you n0tice, the coaching staff is goin' with a smaller lineup, but all of them are prolific scorers. I just hope they will be able to stand their ground when it comes to defense.
