HALE vs. DUH?

Why would i choose to listen "waltz" and vomit each time I hear "Borrowed time"?
Why would i watch tv,if "Kung Wala ka" is playing,ang turn it off if it's "ulan"?

The answer is very much obvious,I HATE CUESHE.

Then you will ask me why,..
Well, I would say "Listening to music is a matter of choice,we all have our different taste..our favorite bands,our favorite choice of music,and stuffs like that."
Now,when I listen to music,I am relaxed,at last I could hear beautiful music amidst dirty noises of the city..but then,it was never the songs of Cueshe.Ever didn't.

Hale has been my favorite since I was 10(haha,exage!) well,since "Broken Sonnet" I am hooked with this band,they make beautiful music,poetic lyrics and wonderful videos..and nonetheless,they make excellent album covers (Cueshe,yucks!)

I made a comparison between this 2 group,so then you'll find out why would I love to buy Hale CD's and trash those from -nah,Cueshe.

1. Hale: They made great songs like "The day you said goodnight""Broken Sonnet""a classic "kung wala ka" and "waltz"..you would not hate to hear these songs all over again,because they were made with wonderful rhythmns,and not intended for "Jingle" purposes.
CUESHE: Ha,They made hits like"Ulan""Stay""Sorry" and others.Then? Ok,I admit those songs are a hit,but could you still stand to hear those songs again and again?those songs has long been killed by over-exposure on TV's and massive plays on Radios and everywhere.

2. As I said,Hale's compositions are undoubtly poetic, creative rhythmns and outstanding arrangements.While, Cueshe,haha..their lyrics aren't so powerful, words like "So if you'd still go,I'll understand" are not poetic,melodized,maybe.But,Ulan's "la,la,la,la,"might be considered.Haha..(lol)

3. Hale's songs are powertitled."Broken Sonnet""Hide and Seek""Waltz" and others while those from Cueshe,are aptly titled "sorry" yeah,sorry.

4. Hale songs are dramatized by poetic words like "melancholy"or"obnoxious" that drive more power and emotions to their songs,while Cueshe, ahmm, "Understand""truly,madly,crazy""Sorry"..dude?would you like to buy a thesaurus?I sell one.

5. Cueshe makes songs that were maka-masa in theme,which makes them on the level of "boom,tarat,tarat". No wonder why some youth genred radio stations don't play their songs anymore.

6. They hurriedly made their sophomore album,just to preserve the hype they got from their first,but what happened? Unlike,Hale's second was very much anticipated and turned Gold in few weeks of release,why?the people missed them,so they went out to buy their album. One learning "Never strikst out while the Iron was still hot,try to cool it first"haha.

7. Cueshe,ventured into making soundtracks,like that one they had in "Asian Trasures" but the success was not like that of Rivermaya's "You'll be safe here" or Southborder's "Ikaw Nga". They just had another miss,or possibly would make the show fall too,who knows?

8. Cueshe recorded a song in Electormagnetic Jam,but it wasn't remarkable..It's a remake and they failed to re-make it.By the way,since today Hale has never participated in any of those tributes,their songs are 100% original.

One more thing,if Cueshe would like not to be hated by others and (me),I suggest they do the following:

a.)Take a break,reinvent, try to sound anew,young songs are of the same sounds.
b.)Take a literature course,or watch a lot of wonderful movies, or read books.
c.)If you are to make another album,make an artistic cover,and by that, I mean "you don't have to place your faces in front inlays just to sell like hotcakes.ok?

To the great HALE,you rock!

"CUESHE poses for their final shot to fame."(kidding!)

Ghost haunts Terabithia

"Ghost Rider," Sony's comic-book adaptation starring Nicolas Cage as a motorcycle stunt driver moonlighting as a collector of evil souls for the devil, debuted as the top weekend movie with $44.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Debuting in second place with $22.1 million was Disney's "Bridge to Terabithia," based on the children's novel about a boy and girl who create an elaborate fantasy land to escape from the troubles of the real world.

The movies bumped off the previous weekend's No. 1 flick, DreamWorks' Eddie Murphy comedy "Norbit," which slipped to third place with $16.8 million, lifting its total to $58.9 million.

Premiering at No. 4 with $14 million was the Warner Bros. romance "Music and Lyrics," starring Hugh Grant as a washed-up pop singer and Drew Barrymore as his unlikely songwriting partner.

The Lionsgate romance "Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls" opened in fifth place with $12.1 million, a sharp drop from filmmaker Perry's February releases the last two years, 2006's "Madea's Family Reunion," which premiered with $30 million, and 2005's "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," which debuted with $21.9 million

"This is the weekend that could turn the tide and get us going in the right direction," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers.

Based on the Marvel Comic books, "Ghost Rider" delivered Hollywood's biggest opening so far this year, topping the $34.2 million debut for "Norbit." "Ghost Rider" was the best opening weekend ever for Cage, beating the $35.1 million debut of "National Treasure."

Ha.

Nelly's Right!

Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right" ends the 10-week reign of Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" at No. 1 on the Hot 100 with a 2-1 climb. It's Furtado's second No. 1 from her album "Loose," following "Promiscuous," which reached the top six months ago. "Irreplaceable" slides to No. 2, ending the longest run at the top since Kanye West's "Gold Digger" featuring Jamie Foxx also spent 10 weeks there last year.

Elsewhere on the Hot 100, Gwen Stefani's "The Sweet Escape" featuring Akon rises 5-3 for a new peak, while Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arms Race" is down 3-4. Ludacris' "Runaway Love" featuring Mary J. Blige, which the pair performed on the Grammys last weekend, inches up 6-5, while Daughtry's "It's Not Over" drops 4-6.

Gym Class Heroes' "Cupid's Chokehold" featuring Patrick Stump zooms 15-7, giving the group its first top 10 hit. Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around ... Comes Around" rises 11-8, while Fergie's "Glamorous" featuring Ludacris rockets 31-9 as the chart's top digital gainer. Fergie thus earns her third top 10 solo hit in six months, equal to her group the Black Eyed Peas' tally over the past six years.

Akon's "I Wanna Love You" featuring Snoop Dogg rounds out the top 10, falling 7-10. But he's got another track poised for top 10 success in the form of "Don't Matter," which climbs 30-11 this week. Meanwhile, rapper Mims' "This Is Why I'm Hot" is the chart's fastest growing track at radio for a second week in a row and jumps 59-46.

You can check the list of billboard's top ten, somewhere there in the left.

NORBIT tops box-office

How lame has the box-office been since Christmas? Well, let's just say that Ben Stiller's NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM was released around that time, and 2 months later, it's still in the friggin' top 5! That's right, crappy films have come and gone and nobody seems to be able to take the wind out of Stiller's sails, or for that matter, nobody seems to be able to truly enthrall American audiences during the first 2 months of the New Year. Except Eddie Murphy's NORBIT?!? That's right, folks, audiences apparently love watching black comedians dress up in fat women's outfits, as Murphy continues to prove to the world his reasoning behind making these lame-ass comedies (pssst, they make money!!!!!!).

But even Murphy couldn't help the 2007 box-office debacle, as revenues continued to drop for the 6th weekend in a row (surprise, surprise), as compared to last year's numbers. NORBIT did manage the year's biggest opening so far, but is that really saying anything with all the shit releases being aborted by the studios so far this season? Me thinks not. The film was Murphy's 14th #1 movie, despite being killed by most critics. Eddie Murphy's "other film", DREAMGIRLS, is also hanging in the top 10 and almost to the $100M mark. Guillermo del Toro's PAN'S LABYRINTH also continues its presence in the top 10 and is closing in on the $30M mark (and only dropped 3% of its audience from last weekend). The weekend's other new release, HANNIBAL RISING, managed a decent opening with a little over $13M.

Next week's new movies should lean into the box-office a little more than all of the others so far this year, with two pretty big movies opening for the Valentine's weekend, including a very odd choice for this "week of love" in GHOST RIDER, which is receiving tons of bad buzz so far, as well as MUSIC AND LYRICS, starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore doing their "romantic thang". The other releases include the latest from Tyler Perry entitled DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS, as well as something called BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA from Disney (worst title of the year so far, by a long shot!) and BREACH, a thriller almost nobody has heard of, starring goofball Ryan Phillippe.

With the release of our annual Golden Schmoes Nominations today, I thought we'd get a little sample reading of your tastes, so we're asking you what film you think will win the top prize at this year's ceremonies. What movie do you think will win 'Best Picture' at this year's Golden Schmoes? VOTE HERE!!!

The Great MARCH

These are some of the movies worth watching this March (US Release):

DEAD SILENCE (March 23,2007)

There is an old ghost story in the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who went mad. Accused of the murder of a young boy, she was hunted down by vengeful townspeople who cut out her tongue and killed her. They buried her along with her "children," a hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls

(This is written and directed by the one who brought us the creepy, blood yummy SAW;this must be good!....)

AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS (whew,that was long!)(March 23, 2007)
Reveals the mysterious origins of Meatwad, Frylock and Master Shake. When an immortal piece of exercise equipment threatens the balance of galactic peace, it is up to the Aqua Teen Hunger Force to run away from it. Peril escalates when the Plutonians team up with the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past to strive for ultimate control of the sinister deadly device.

(The trailer's so funny and I think I'll love it, though the animation's obviously poor)

CASPIAN Cast

NarniaWeb - The (Self Proclaimed) World's #1 Source for Narnia Movie News - is reporting that the title character in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CAPSIAN has been cast.

They're reporting that none other than Ben Barnes has won the role. Yes! Ben Barnes!!! (left)OK, I have no idea who Ben Barnes is and, in the interest of full disclosure, I have no idea who Prince Caspian is either. So I have no idea is this is a good casting move or a bad one.

But this Barnes chap certainly looks princely. He's got a part in this summer's STARDUST and recently dropped out of "The History Boys" on the London stage to take the CASPIAN part. Director Andrew Adamson says of Barnes: "He just blew us away" .Filming is currently underway on CASPIAN in New Zealand with a May 18th, 2008 release planned. Let Barnesmania begin!

TRIVIA!
Ben Barnes is not related to Priscilla Barnes, Matt Barnes, or Barnes & Noble.(Oh,Yeah)

Flash Director

Shawn Levy is to direct, WB is to produce, and I must mention this, Ryan Reynolds is on it.(Yeah, I must write that since each news about the "flash" movie, his name is being attached, and I don't know exactly why.)

David Goyer (Batman Begins, Blade) announced on his official myspace account(I haven't seen it, and I hell care don't) that he officially drop-out of the project to write and direct the FLASH movie.

Goyer turned in a "darker" FLASH script and it wasn't exactly what WB was looking for. They were looking for a "lighter" take on the character and felt Levy was the perfect guy for that. Both Levy and WB are avoiding the dreaded C-word that fanboys hate to hear - comedy. Levy will apparently use portions of Goyer's script for his version, which will be rewritten under his supervision.

TRIVIA!
As an actor, Levy appeared in two episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210" as "Howard Banchek."(ahhm, duh?)

Another Tom Curse

We've been hearing rumors for quite some time that Tom Cruise was looking to star in a comedy but not much has come of it. He was talking to Judd Apatow (THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN) and now comes word from TMZ.comhi that the actor has been in discussions with Ben Stiller about a couple of projects.

Stiller recruited the actor to star in his upcoming directorial project TROPIC THUNDER but word is that Cruise passed because it would mean poking a little too much fun at his MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE franchise (the film follows a bunch of pampered actors who, while filming a war movie, become mistaken for a bunch of commandos). Stiller now looks to star in that role himself but the two are looking at another project to team on - THE HARDY MEN.

Fox is reportedly looking at a comedy that would star Stiller and Cruise as the Hardy Boys, except all grown up and still trying to solve ridiculous crimes. Stiller would produce the film with Shawn Levy (him again?...) directing. I'd love to see these two work together if for no other reason that just to see Stiller do his Cruise schtick on the big screen. Will it happen? Stay in touch.

TRIVIA!
Cruise's next film,(sorry to let you know guys) LIONS FOR LAMBS, begins shooting this spring with Robert Redford directing.

Eye Remake

Hollywood is planning to have a remake of (another actually), Asian thriller flick "The Eye", and their eyes see Jessica Alba playing(not the eye of course) but the lead role!! Fantastic,isn't it?

Jessica Alba has found two co-stars for the movie . Alessandro Nivola (JUNEBUG) and Parker Posey have signed on to join the project, which will be directed by Frenchman David Moreau and Xavier Palud.

The film follows a young woman who, after a cornea transplant, is haunted by distrubing visions. She decides to get to the bottom of this mystery by tracking down the original owner of the eyes. ( I haven't seen the original film, but I do have plans, I just kinda losing it in my head when I'm at the video rental store.:-])

Tom Cruise (yeah, it's really him}is producing the film for Lionsgate, who will release. Oddly enough, Paramount has come aboard to co-finance. I say "oddly" because Paramount had full rights to the film not that long ago, decided to put the film in turnaround where Lionsgate picked it up. Now they're putting their money back into it after an acrimonious divorce with Tom Cruise. Alba can be seen next in another medical thriller AWAKE with Hayden Christensen. Filming on THE EYE is expected to begin this spring.

TRIVIA!
The first cornea transplant was performed in 1905, by Eduard Zirm.(Waahhh...who cares?)

Harry and the Final Installment

J.K Rowling announced on her official site ( I don't know where that is) that the release of the 7th and final Installment on her obscenely popular Harry Potter franchise, entitled "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" (power title,whew!) will be on July 21st this year!

Potter(not the entrepreneur one) fans and crazy followers predicted that the release of the final HP book will be on July 7th as a homage on the book's place in the series or on July 31, Harry's Birthday...and it seems their guesses weren't too far off!

The book will retail for $34.99 which, at five dollars higher than the previous installment "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", suggests this one may be the longest of all (which makes sense considering there's apparently a lot to wrap up). In the meantime, the fifth cinematic installment, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF PHOENIX, opens July 13th, thereby making July "Official Harry Potter Month".

TRIVIA!!!
Daniel Radcliffe aka Harry Potter can currently be seen showing the world his grown up side (the one below his waist) in the play Equus. I tried to search for any links of the play's promo but I couldn't find anything without "WARNING: ADULT MATERIALS" on it's content.

Sorry.

An Epic Victory

Fox's "EPIC MOVIE" vowed at #1, beating NIght at the Museum, Stomp the Yard ( formerly the #1), Oscar contenders and co-opener "SMOKin' ACES" which hails at #2.

Epic Movie, a spoof of Hollywood Box-Office breakers like Pirates of the Carribean, Narnia, Harry Potter, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,Da vinci code and others ,took an estimated $18.6 on it's debut. Critics were not given a chance to see this film before it was released unlike Smokin which already received Thumbs up and down from various critics, Smokin Aces opens with a beating $14.6 in the box-office.

Another newcomer, the chick flick "Catch and Release" opens at #5 with $7.7 gross while another Fox's "Night at the Museum" remains a strong contender on it's sixth week which nabbed $9.6 beating the former #1 movie, "Stomp The Yard" with $7.8. The movies are at the 3 and 4 spots respectively.

The Biggest box-office lo0ser is the 4th freshman "Blood and Chocolate", bleeding itself with just $2.1 and even failed to get into the top ten.

The movie was written by 2 of the six writers who scribed the succesful "Scary Movie" trilogy, they also wrote last year's spoof of Romantic movies "Date Movie".

Smokin' Keys

ALICIA KEYS's included in a new action/chaos(whatever) flick, entitled SMOKIN' ACES! It will be out in the US this Friday!

DETAILS:
This Friday, director Joe Carnahan (NARC) is back with his first film in over four years. What took him so long? Well, for a while he was busy developing a little movie called MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3 . Fifteen months into it, however, Carnahan left the project over creative differences with the film’s producers. The experience left Carnahan with a bad taste in his mouth, so he decided to take out all of his rage on a movie. The result is SMOKIN' ACES, a violent, chaotic film that just might put Carnahan back on the map.

Alicia was interviewed during their Presscon, here are some excerpts:

Alicia, You've probably gotten offers in the past to starting a movie career before. What made you want to do this project?

Keys: I did not want to play a character that was a reflection of who I am. I also wanted my first film to be something where I was surrounded by an amazing cast. This fit that criteria to the fullest. I wanted to do something that was completely unexpected, totally out of the box, something that would blow people's minds, that the last thing on the planet earth that they would ever think I would do would be– this met that criteria as well. It was very exciting and it totally took me out of my element and out of my comfort zone completely and it challenged me in a way that was very rewarding for me.

Alicia, what did you learn about acting that will inform you now as an artist and vocalist?

Keys: I felt that I rediscovered how tremendously close the two worlds are. I grew up in the theater. My mother is an actress. I was always around the world of acting and theater and I was always amazed the way that people would come in looking one way and transform completely to the point where I couldn't recognize their language and their accent, the way that looked and their hair and their faces even changed in becoming so inside of the character. So, I think that I reconnected to the way that that affects me so much when I see a film that moves me in one way or another, either angers me or makes me feel good or saddens me – whatever – and how that connects so much to what I do as an artist as well.

The casts also include Ben Affleck, Jeremy Piven, Common, Ray Liotta, and Ryan Reynolds.

..LONG LIVE THE "KING"!

Another King authored movie is now being buzzed and hollywood fans wait as Frank Darabont’s long-in-the-making movie version of Stephen King’s story THE MIST is finally gathering steam with more potential victims being added with alarming alacrity.

Actor, genre fan and generally cool cat Thomas Jane is already on board as the hero of the haze-filled horror flick, and now he’ll be holed up in the frozen foods aisle with the lovely Laurie Holden (who Darabont utilized for his female lead in THE MAJESTIC and who has experience with battling beasties from SILENT HILL and X-FILES). In addition, dignified actor Andre Braugher will be hurling verbal barbs and broccoli as Jane’s neighbor and (human) adversary.

In case you didn’t know, the tense tale involves an eerie creature-filled fog that rolls into New England, leaving one diverse group of people trapped inside a supermarket. Darabont (whose creature feature past includes writing the 80s remake of THE BLOB) plans to remain faithful to the material and stick with a more old school 1950s monster movie vibe with the otherwordly beasts loping outside the store.
FAST FACTS!
In the 3-D audio version of THE MIST, the lead character was voiced by DIE HARD 2(I haven't seen this movie yet) villain William Sadler!
( Who the hell is this person anyway?... You know him?,send me a message! Let me know!)

Fall Out Boy, debuts at #2!

Beyonce remains atop, yet scared enough of losing the throne.

Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" begins an eighth week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 but barely edges out Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arms Race," which debuts at No. 2 thanks to 162,000 digital downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan. This is the highest bow for a band since radio-only titles joined the chart in December 1998.

Records! Records!
The last group to start as well or better was Aerosmith, who debuted at No. 1 under prior Hot 100 rules with "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing" in September 1998. In addition, the download totals for "This Ain't a Scene" are the largest opening-week tally for a group since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003.

Kudos to Fall Out Boy! Whew! You guys definitely rock!
