Movie match-up

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and if you have someone special to spend it with, you've probably thought of a plan to make that day a bit different than usual But for those who are without a part, just because you're single doesn't mean you can't enjoy the day too! A good movie will always make your day and you never know, someone might notice and just pair with you... ^_~

And so what could even make it more obvious than Valentine's Day, a movie starring some big stars completing ten pairs! If you're going to watch this one, I suggest you book your tickets way ahead as this seems to be the movie of THE day. Showing this Feb. 12 in all Cinemas.




If you're hanging out with friends or a group that day, probably the good upcoming movies you'd enjoy and laugh about are Youth in Revolt starring Michael Cera (x2) and Tim Allen in Crazy on the Outside.





But if you're gonna be with your family, the Tooth Fairy starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be fun for the kids as much as Book of Eli with Denzel Washington will be for the adults.

And for the real reason for celebrating valentines, it's family that brings you to Extraordinary Measures in this heartbreaking Box Office Movie starring Brendan Fraser.




Love life! Happy Hearts Day! :)

Blame it on the pop!

It's 10pm and I feel drunk from lack of sleep and stress. But instead of hitting the sack and drifting of to some bizarre dreamland, I sit infront of the PC and bring you my love of featuring music! *Yawns big time*

Before 3oh3! released their song Starstrukk ft. Katy Perry, they sang Don't Trust Me, a funny and unsexy way to show of one's manliness but ironically is a song to trust that you'll keep on singing!

Paramore gets Brick By Boring Brick in this fantasy-like themed video coming from their album Brand New Eyes.

And while Hayley Williams did a bad job lip-syncing that video, Kelly Clarkson is Already Gone... gone up to the charts with this song!




One of my personal favorite bands and has been sorely quiet for some time, MCR or My Chemical Romance is rocking the town once again in Desolation Row!




Sooth your ears with Boys Like Girls and Taylor Swift in this mellow love song titled Two Is Better Than One.




And to end your quest for searching a new song, let DJ Earworm help you out with his amazingly catchy mash-up of 2009's Pop songs entitled United States of Pop 2009, a well blended song that's gonna make you want to parteeh afterwards! (If you liked this one, check out the rest of his other remixes in his youtube channel here.)




So there you have it, I'm out! Zzzzz..

Everybody say yeaaaah~

.
Finally able to gather enough new music to feature, here are the latest songs you shouldn't miss out!

As if the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys duet on Empire State of Mind wasn't such a hit, here's a second blast to the addicting New York-dedicated song featuring Keys' own emotional but still wonderful version!




After almost a year since Chris Brown's abuse scandal, he goes I Can Transform Ya (with Lil Wayne &Swizz Beats) and Crawls back to the music limelight with two latest singles coming from his new album Graffiti. Although I still don't fully know for myself if I still want to support him after that incident, I guess everyone deserves a second chance, specially if that someone makes a wonderful song it's regrettable to miss out!





(Did you notice Brown's marketing?! Videos available from embedding and MP3's free for download! Not to mention the girl in Crawl video uberly looks like someone from his past... =P)

One Republic finally goes back in the scene with All The Right Moves that's sure to bring them up the charts sooner than you think!




Jesse McCartney's Body Language is definitely music to my ears in this single ft. T-Pain.




And lastly, this band despite their music being used in one of the most celebrated movie in 2009, Muse continues to stay underground and be victorious with Uprising.

More features to watch out for next week so keep on reading! ;)

Welcome 2010!

The last hurrah for 2009!

.
Just when I thought my blog posts for the year has ended, here I am again on my last hurrah, featuring some of the latest songs I know out there. Keep your playlist fresh, as they say cleaning out the clutter invites positive aura for the the new year to come! :D


The princess of pop proves that even though you're a momma, sex sells with just the body and the booty to show in Britney Spears' latest song called 3.




Rihanna is rocking her [bizarre] new hair and [weird military] fashion in her latest single Hard featuring Young Jeezy from her latest album "Rated R". (Makes me think if Lady Gaga's fashion is starting to get in Rihanna's system) back to back with another video recently released called Russian Roulette.

Korean music or "K-pop" as it is being called is finally being accepted in the country. With artists such as the Wonder Girls and 2NE1 being hot here in the Philippines, a new girl group is emerging and they are 4Minute with their latest single Muzik.




And to end this wonderful year that was 2009, here's my closing blog post with songs from 30 Seconds to Mars' new album This is War (Exclusive song for Dragon Age: Origins game) which released two great songs impossible not to climb up the hit charts! Here's the album cover and the current song I can't get off my head, Kings and Queens.

Q1 2010 Concerts!!!

.

One of the things that's part of my top 5 things in life are Live concerts... And these upcoming tours in RP happening the first three months of the new year are sending sweet chills down my spine!


2010 opens with a big bang as the Gentleman Ne-Yo goes back to the Philippines for his second concert tour (which would seem to be another full house as similar to his Feb 2008 performance) which will happen on January 9 at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds.

Tickets are priced as:

VVIP PhP 7725.00 (Reserved Seating)
VIP PhP 5665.00 (Reserved Seating)
PLATINUM PhP 4120.00 (Reserved Seating)
GOLD PhP 2575.00 (Free Seating)
SILVER PhP 1545.00 (Standing)
BRONZE PhP 515.00 (standing)

Now you know where your Christmas money will go. :p




Post-Hardcore/ Alternative Rock band Saosin will be rocking the stage of A-Venue Hall in Makati on January 22 (Friday), 8pm for only P1,000 per entrance fee. Knowing the place, it's small and cramped so you better get there early to be in the front row people! It's Saosin!!! Here's my personal favorite song of theirs: Seven Years.

Boys Like Girls goes back to back with House/ trance music of Hed Kandi brand on January 27 (Wednesday), 8pm at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1 & 2! Ticket prices are at P3,696 (VIP) and P1,796 (Gold) both of which are standing.

If you might recall, BLG's first tour here would have been together with Katy Perry's supposedly "first" performance last Oct. 3, 2009 but was unfortunately put on delay because of the Typhoon Ondoy which struck the Philippines back then. Although it's somewhat an unlikely combination for the pop-punk band to mix with glam disco music, we never know...i t might turn out to be a great music after all right? (But honestly I'm still skeptic about this but I like the artists so I might as well give them the benefit of the doubt and think about watching the show!)

January 31 will mark a full concert ground as The Killers will be performing that Sunday in Mall of Asia's concert grounds at 8pm.

Ticket Prices are:

VIP - 5,550Php
Gold - 3,950
Silver - 1,550 (1,240*)
Bronze - 550 (440*)

All seat locations are standing.
*A special holiday promo of 20% discount for Silver and Bronze is held by Ticketnet outlets for ticket purchases done until Dec. 31.

Promoters of the new hit band Owl City seems to have booked a our in RP too early despite only one song of them has been a part of the hit charts. But there are still a lot of days to go to see more of this Synthpop/Electronica band's releases. Let's just hope it's as good as Fireflies.

Their tour will be held on March 14 (Sunday), 8pm at the SMX Convention Center Halls 1 &2.




All tickets to mentioned events above are available via SM/ Ticketnet outlets.

And lastly, the undeniably growing K-pop fandom is attracting actual K-pop band 4Minute to perform here on February 4. Although not as famous---YET as the Wonder Girls with their "Nobody" or 2NE1's "Fire", they certainly have the Muzik and the attitude for it!

How I wish these were what I asked Santa for Christmas!XO

Yule Movies Part II

.
There are just a lot of movies that still needs to be featured, I guess I'm not through!

The rumor I've picked up on my 2009 Movie preview post has come true! A darker, more sophisticated version of the greatest detective ever known (or written, for that matter), Sherlock Holmes is set to come out in the big screens this Jan. 8, 2010 with big stars shuck as Robert Downey Jr. (Holmes), Jude Law (as the trusted number two, Dr. Watson), Rachel McAdams and Mark Strong.

I'm just hoping the movie will show more of Holme's intellectual prowess rather than an action sequence which ironically seems to have dominated the trailer. (And weird enough I haven't pictured Downey as Holmes).

My favorite martial arts comedian Jackie Chan is back as The Spy Next Door in this movie somewhat similar to 'The Pacifier' (Vin Diesel), with less muscle but more of the a**-kicking moves.

Next up, love stories doesn't just come in February. Love Happens is about a widower whose book about coping with loss turns him into a best-selling self-help guru. On a business trip to Seattle, he falls for a woman who attends one of his seminars, only to learn that he hasn't yet truly confronted his wife's passing. Starring Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston, the movie is bound to show on January 27.

(How I'm hoping this isn't as corny as Aniston's previuos movie the Management. Ugh. Total disaster. ~_~")

And for the love of Eywa, if you haven't watched James Cameron's Avatar yet, YOU ARE MISSING IT OUT MY FRIEND! I highly recommend i, best in 3D with a bag of munchies and a strong bladder ('coz you really won't get up from your seat just so you won't miss anything!) ;)




To close the 2009 movie posts, here's something from Y! Movies: See the movies that top them all in Top 10 Box Office movies of 2009!

More preview posts to come on 2010!
Make watching all these movies a part of your resolution!

Happy New Year!!:D
