beowulf

if this movie wasn't animated, would the fight scene between beowulf and grendel be as exciting? well, beowulf, depicted here as the ultimately sexy hero that blows away any spartan, stripped off, totally butt-naked as he fought the monster, grendel. i can't help but think the scene as really absurd, but it surely had me hold my breath all through out. :D

that aside, it was a fun and very entertaining flick. all the scenes and actors were richly detailed that you might think that animation is now the way to go for all adventure movies.

"You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn't true. I know a lot about love. I've seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate... It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves... You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and... What I'm trying to say, Tristan is... I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I'd know it for myself. My heart... It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it's trying to escape because it doesn't belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I'd wish for nothing in exchange - no fits. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine."

-Yvaine, from the movie "Stardust"

*sigh*... these lines have made me a sentimental twit .. *slaps both cheeks thrice*

making it a grey matter

the caffeine-overdosed, slightly tipsy zombie is still awake. she's torturing her already pathetic self with heart-wrenching last episodes of grey's anatomy season 3, trying hard (but failing terribly) not to relate her miserable relationship angsts to whatever the equally misarble characters are facing.

she tells herself, tears are for sissies. no one cries over a jerk.. but darn, mcsteamy's just so freaking hot. her mind wanders about ways to nurture her maternal instincts, whilst she runs away to the farthest corner at the hint of a coming proposal. the next thing she knew, she made herself vulnerable and jumped at the next guy available. headlights were flashing everywhere, but she was just too stubborn to pay attention. she believed she knew all about the game. she thought she was in control and she can handle it all. but when her own emotions betrayed her, she realized that she's just as naive, optimistic and hopeful like any little girl dreaming about the one day when prince charming will come. the biatch in her thinks that really really sucks.

but then, the drama's over when the show stops. tears have dried up, and reality is starting to sink in. however, these words from one of the episodes will remain:

desire leaves our heart broken, it wears us out
desire can wreck your life

but as tough as wanting something can be,
the people who suffer the most are those who don't know what they want

ring those bells

"I cant contain my joy'
Cause I finally found the boy
I've been missin'
Listen!
I can hear the bells"
- I can hear the bells (Hairspray, 2007)

i just watched this film and this song got me reminisce how nice it feels to be head over heels in love with someone. like it's been a long time i've felt those butterflies in my stomach. can't eat. can't sleep. can't stop thinking of you kind of love. i know it sounds so highschool, so naive, so clueless that reality is forcing itself to sink in on me.. but i want to brush off any negative thoughts for now and forget life's tough realities.

let me float. let me fall. let me hear the bells.

at kanino naman? naku! pinch me! i'm falling in love with love again.

conversations with other women

the woman: "My heart was broken."
the man: "So you married a cardiologist."

hmm.. i should be looking out for a cardiologist then.

these lines were from the movie, 'Conversations with other Women', (well, the third one is just my own personal thought).

i've always been a fan of heart-wrenching and romantic movies that have rich, virbose plot and still maintain to have wit and humor that charms the audience throughout its running.

if you enjoy movies like Before Sunset, then this is a must watch.

i need an inspiration

I have another reason to love Hugh Grant after i watched 'Music & Lyrics'. It's another must-watch romantic comedy for all the romantics and for those whose moods need uplifting :)

The song below is from the movie. It's the kind that will stick into your head and have you humming it til the rest of the day. so when i got home, i had to google the lyrics immediately. other than that, i found a video in youtube too. check this link to hear it.

Well, the lyrics are really good.. and surprisingly, it's saying a lot about what's going on inside me for quite a time already. so, totally ka-relate.. sa title palang :P

Way Back Into Love

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night

I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that i'll be there for you in the end
