Taylor, X-men, Davinci code, Tyra, etc

Taylor Hicks from Alabama was named the 5th American Idol. It is really obvious that Hicks will win. I can say that it's not even a tough competition since his final "opponent" would be Katherine Mcphee. She has been placed as a bottom performer few times during the show. For me, it could be Paris or Chris or Mandisa who have won the title.

I've seen the last installment of X-men trilogy, "X-men, the last stand", yesterday, at the Gateway mall. We were so early at the mall so we can have a good seat at the "Globe Platinum Cinema", but we were surprised to know that X-men is only shown at their other cinemas and "The Davinci Code" was still at the GPC. The Davinci Code is, indeed, very controversial that people would really be curious about it. According to the saleslady for movie tickets, the Xmen wasn't showd at the GPC because the Davinci code is still attracting alot of movie goers. One thing came into my mind and I asked myself, Would these mean that Filipino movie goers are now open-minded? I mean, are we ready to these such films that would touch some sensitive topics? Or is it just another indication that Pinoy are still fond of "pang-uusyoso"? I just hope not. I hope that we are now brave enough to face changes and not scared to cope with it. There's nothing wrong with getting out of the "conventional". For as long as we are not breaking any laws, we can move to a different level and let us not be mislead by a "standard". We have our own free will and there's nothing wrong with seeking truth.

This certain "Congressman" should realized that watching the film would not definitely affect the morality of being a Catholic. I really don't get the point of his "pang-eepal". The author of the book already confirmed that the story was all fiction and if you actualy read the book, you will understand the real concept of it. If a catholic has a strong faith of christian beliefs and teaching, therefore no film nor book would let this belief be ruined. It would really be depend on the people and no one can dictate what would and would not do wonder on our morale.

Going back to Xmen 3, let me say, It was definitely a hit! We were able to see on it's first day. So far, it's the best X-men film for me. Some say it's not satisfying and the story is definitely different from the comics or from the cartoon. Well, they can't fit all the characters and the story in just one movie. Wel, it' better-off that way.

2 days ago, I was able to see "over the hedge" too. I love Animated movies, from "Shrek" to "Finding nemo", from "The Incredibles" to "Shark tale". Unfortunately, I fell asleep in the middle of the film because I don't get much sleep then.

I'm having a habit of watching "Tyra" nowadays. She seems so natural to me when it comes to hosting. Well, oprah is, but the show's overrated. aside from her talk show, I'm also hooked with the cycle 4 of "America's next top supermodel" and although I know that it would be "Naima" who will win, I'm getting the fussed with the show. Uhm, not to forget the bulky reality shows on ETC and Star world.
