DAY FIVE
2 VHs talk about The Omen

Benj blogs: The Omen - christians, look away! 666!

Pure Evil.
Ok, one look at this kid's face doesn't quite conjure up the innate fear of most people to the macabre and the infernal, but for his limited dialogue in this film, he has definitely pulled off a cinematic feat comparable to that of of Toshio from "The Grudge".

"The Omen" is actually a remake of a movie of the same title from more than twenty years back. Thanks to the phenomenal success of "The Da Vinci Code" and an upwelling in christian mysticism and apocalypticamania currently sweeping the globe, the producers of this new version took advantage of the quirky date of June 6, 2006 as a launch date. Pretty spiffy.

I won't go into critiquing the movie bit by bit because that's not my style, but I'll delve in to the movie's biggest demerit.

To put it bluntly, the ending sucked. Sure, the Scion of Satan itself was seemingly able to orchestrate the death of three people in the movie. But…

But…

I think the best part happened when the boy's father (adoptive father, actually - watch it) realized that it was improper to kill a little boy.

It was practically ritual sacrifice. And the men of god wanted a grown man to kill a young boy just because he is believed to be the Son of Satan.

The movie shouldve ended showing how ridiculous the premise of the "revelation" was.

storybook. 'nuff said.


Charles blogs: What movie?

What I have done this day? hehehe…I've watched Disney-Pixar's Cars! This is my 3rd movie in two weeks! The last two, as I remind you, were The Da Vinci Code and X-Men 3: The Last Stand!

But before I went to buy the ticket, I was in two minds, actually in three! I cant decide which to watch! My choices are "Cars", "Omen:666" and "Manay Po"! You think that before I went to the mall, Ive already decided which to watch! Actually, yes, Ive already decided: that's "All About Love", but the heck! SM City Sucat scrape All About Love from thier list today!

So, if I watch Omen:666, its too scary. I dont fancy scary movie much! What if I dream of it? And besides, wala akong kasama! Sinong pagtataguan ko? hehehe…. I'll think I'll wet my pants off, kapag pinanood ko yun! Manay Po naman is too gay! Hindi naman sa ayaw ko sa mga bakla, but I just dont fancy it! So, im off to Cars!
Super ganda ng movie, I actually watched it twice! Because Ive repeated the movie twice, just to make it stamp into my memory… hehehehe… nah! Its just to waste time, and to make most of my money!

The story goes when this red racing car named Lightning McQueen (nicknamed Stickers), won the prestigous Piston Cup had a three-way tie. So there will be a re-match between the three racing cars, the two other were named King, the blue one, and the green Chicks Hicks. But on the way to California, Mac, the trailer truck that serves Stickers, left the racing car on the Inter-State Highway! Stickers then accidentally went to this sleepy town named Radiator Town!

Hehehe… that's all Im going to say… Just watch it!
