film review: the dreamgirls

for one, it has been a long time since i made a film review. grabe, that was way during the sem i was taking a film elective. haha. at the terminal ang huli kong nagawan ng review.

pero this movie is worth making a review. it is only once in a year or so that you will encounter a film that isn't made up of formula (the ones that you see almost everyday, dressed up in different manners...) isa pa, hango talaga ang movie na ito sa isang musicale.

i am referring to the acclaimed movie, dreamgirls (starring beyonce knowles, introducing jennifer hudson)

casting wise, the movie got itself talented artists that carried the roles well. and i must say they all sing really well. especially the part where everyone confronted at the stage. (my friend, jhay, will have to agree with me on this.)

plot wise, it is a strong plot, given that it is an adaptation of a broadway musicale. it is written within a context of historical basis (the black american discrimination and dissension)

visual-wise, what can i say? the visuals rock!!!!!! the editing has been done nicely that made good use of quick cuts and rhythm, since it evolves on music.

when it comes to audience reach, i must say that it captivated a wide spectrum of audience. it is the music that brought all the demographics together to appreciate the film.

haaaaayyyy!!!! i am not regretting that i have watched dreamgirls, even if it means that i have to spend the night awake to compensate for the time lost.

stage kuya!

haha.

i dedicate this post to my sweet pretty sister who will be experiencing her last js prom. she passed ust. yep. she will face the real life soon. so before you do, enjoy your high school life!!!

paglalakbay isang madaling araw...

Ang tagal ko na ring di inabutan ng paglalakad ng madaling araw sa Campus palabas ng Philcoa. Pero dahil inabot ng ala una ang Destino 5: Heartwritten, e kinailangan naming nila Martell at Dan na lakbayin ang University Avenue palabas ng Philcoa.

Hitit ng yosi para matalo ang lamig ng umagang iyon. Kwentong walang patid para madaig ang nakabibinging katahimikan. Maya maya, pagtingin namin sa likod naming, kasunod pala namin si Belots na napagkamalan naming masamang loob na sumusunod sa amin. (Talamak naman kasi ang mga snatchers sa oras at lugar na yun e.)

At sa gabing iyon, naisipan ko lang humiyaw ng malakas. Malakas na malakas, upang ibsan ang mabigat na dinadala. Mga pagod at alalahanin sa buhay.

Tapos na ang Broadguild week sa wakas. Tapos na ang mga dapat gawin sa extra-curricular aspect ng buhay ko. Pero marami pa ring dapat gawin. Marami pa.
