Here I am, in the midst of the Summer Blockbuster™ season, stewing quite a bit over the fact that we over here still have to wait for the local release of Wall*E and You Don’t Mess with the Zohan (then again, we Pinoys should count ourselves lucky in the region, Read the rest of this entry »

I first got into the Monster Hunter Freedom game just a couple of months after getting my PSP.
What impressed me about this game was not just the impressive graphics and iconic music (you can tell that I’m quite the fan, given that I can recognize the majestic horn fusillade that opens each scene as well as the musical cues that tell you that danger is about) but also the awesome customization options and open-ended gameplay.

Too bad I didn’t make it during the first-day screening (upon which I’d really be eager to tell the rest of the world if a film is good to watch or just to skip). In that case, I decided to rely on the goodwill of a Movie Franchise™ and finally catch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Read the rest of this entry »

The past month, I haven’t been able to catch a single film because of my once-again burgeoning work schedule and an attendant shortage of funds.

So far so good…The entire Coachella weekend came and went.
I was going to do some blow-by-blow daily posts over the weekend but my work schedule went into the way. I tried posting on the very day only to find the YouTube download service to WP pretty slow. Read the rest of this entry »
