Blind Side Edges Out New Moon at the Box Office

December 7, 2009 - 7:27 am No Comments

blindsidexAfter almost three weeks of box office superiority, Twilight: New Moon has been dislodge from the top post by the film release, Blind Side.

This is a feel-good movie starring Sandra Bullock in a role I’ve never seen her play so well before.

If there’s one movie that proves she is America’s Sweetheart, this is it. Her charm and good heart sees through her, with this film.

Blind Side is a beautiful story about loving without prejudices. It’s a film every member of the family will love, and it’s very fitting to the spirit of this season.

The movie has unexpectedly raked in some $129  Million from its opening day. It has been running in theaters for about three weeks now (alongside New Moon).

Watch the trailer and tell me if this doesn’t warm your heart:

The movie is based on a true story.

Selena Gomez and Taylor Lautner

November 28, 2009 - 12:50 pm 1 Comment

I can’t get over of Selena Gomez (Laughing out Loud), she’s so gorgeous and has this pleasing personality. I’d always watch her show in the disney channel, and I think she’s really a great actress. I also like her because she’s the ex-girlfriend of Taylor Lautner (Which I’m head over heels now because of “New Moon”) and now I’m blogging about them because I think they really look good together. Taylor and Selena was seen dating  on public, holding hands and cuddling each other. But these sweet moments suddenly just vanished into thin air after Taylor’s dad  told him that it’s not healthy for his career to be seen with his girlfriend. (But why? Selena is a great girl) Taylor’s dad said that he should focus first in his career and stop making Selana believe that she’s the one for him(Taylor). This is just a sad story, but I think Taylor did a right think by obeying his parents. I admire him for doing that, but I hope the closure was ok. Anyway on Selena’s part, I salute her for not making a big deal out of it. She handled it without so much drama and stuff, and that shows  her maturity. But while I was checking her tweets about the break up, I saw this one “A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.”  Well, she has a point, but she has to understand that it doesn’t mean Taylor can’t decide for himself, he just wanted to follow his parents because it’s the right thing to do. On the other hand, I hope Taylor was able to explain his side to Selena.

Selena admitted on one of her interviews that she’s really not into the Twilight fever. She said that it wasn’t because of her ex boyfriend, she just thinks that the movie is a cult and that she doesn’t believe on those stuff.

Taylor Lautner:I was never extremely confident

November 27, 2009 - 3:20 pm 1 Comment

Taylor Lautner surprised everyone when he showed his hot abs in the movie “New Moon”. He admitted in one of his interviews that he really had a hard time working out because he has to sacrifice a lot of things. People who were responsible for his super hot body made sure that he gets the right food and the right exercise. Taylor didn’t expect that his career in acting would be taken to another level. “I was never extremely confident,” the actor, now 17, tells the new issue of Rolling Stone. “Because I was an actor, when I was in school there was a little bullying going on. Not physical bullying but people making fun of what I do … I just had to tell myself I can’t let this get to me. This is what love to do. And I’m going to continue to do it.” That’s the spirit Taylor! We all need to be motivated like him. Most of the people I know, they’d rather give up the fight because they think it’s really not worth fighting for. But we all have to know that we get success if we really persevere. (Just like what Taylor did) 

Taylor also admitted that he did’nt expect that twilight will be a blockbuster movie. “Nobody knew what Twilight was going to be,” he says. “Nobody. We thought we were making it just for passionate fans of the book. People just kept telling Us, ‘Oh, yeah, the movie is going to do so good.’ And we were like, ‘All right, whatever. We’ll see.’ But when the movie came out, I was just blown away. That’s when I realized, ‘Boy, what am I getting myself into?’”  Honestly, I wasn’t really expecting that Twilight would turn out really good. But it did, then a lot of girls got really hooked on it. It has been a talk of the town for months and now that they’ve shown New Moon, people started going crazy again especially when they saw Taylor Lautner transformed.

Unfortunately, this hottie is currently dating the famous singer Taylor Swift (I envy her!) so sorry for all those “Jacob fanatics”. Rolling stone interview -while shooting the the 2010 ensemble romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, he says, “We got along great. We instantly clicked. And she’s — she’s an amazing girl. Aside from being beautiful, she’s extremely funny, charismatic and fun to be around, so we definitely got along. We’re close.” I hope they’re closeness doesn’t lead them to another level (evil laugh) of relationship because I really like Selena Gomez for Lautner! They really look cute together and I think Selena is a sweet girl. You see I’m not being biased, I just think Taylor Swift looks mature and there’s no romantic spark between her and Lautner. 

Whatever Taylor Lautner’s status is, I really think he deserves to get an award for being so damn hot.

Beastly’s Short Trailer

November 27, 2009 - 9:16 am 1 Comment

Here’s a 23 second trailer of the upcoming movie, Beastly, which stars High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens. It’s only a very short clip and it’s very hard to get an idea of what the movie is about. But from what I know, this film is very much right up the alley of New Moon and Twilight. It’s the kind of movie tweens and teens are sure to like, granting it also stars some of the younger generations hottest stars:

Beastly is inspired and adapted from Beauty and The Beast . Not the Disney animated version, but the Ron Perlman version. It also stars Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris and Lisa Gay Hamilton. The film is set to open July 30, 2010.
