John Lennon's 30th Death Anniversary Today

This is the best time to take a moment of silence in honor of the most brilliant musician, artist, and poet of our lifetime, John Lennon, a true legend who can never ever be replaced by anyone in this world. I love you John and I miss you everyday. Music would have never been the same without The Beatles and mostly without you.

 JOHN WINSTON ONO LENNON

   (October 9, 1940 - December 8, 1980)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Review

The movie was outstanding. There's hardly anything to say except that it was very well done; the storyline, the effects, the scoring were all brilliant. I got goosebumps while watching. Dawn Treader was worth every penny (or centavo). It was definitely better than the Deathly Hallows film. Even though I haven't read the book, everything seems to be in place. I understood every bit of the story.

Prince Caspian dropped his Spanish accent, which is good because you can see that Ben Barnes' was more comfortable with his normal one. The way the music enters, it's like you could feel the intensity of the scene. I didn't feel that in Deathly Hallows.

I wonder why Andrew Adamson didn't direct this one. He did direct the first 2 Narnia movies, but for this movie, it was Michael Apted who directed.

I'm definitely gonna watch this again... and again... and again... It's a keeper!

Rating for this movie: 4/5

P.S.: Skandar Keynes, William Moseley, & Ben Barnes just got hotter.

Angelina Jolie Not Celebrating Thanksgiving

As the Americans celebrate Thanksgiving day this Thursday, UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie won't be a part of it, Rob Shuter of Popeater reports.

"Angelina Jolie hates this holiday and wants no part in rewriting history like so many other Americans," a friend of the actress tells Shuter. "To celebrate what the white settlers did to the native Indians, the domination of one culture over another, just isn't her style. She definitely doesn't want to teach her multi-cultural family how to celebrate a story of murder."

"Angelina gets so grossed out by Thanksgiving that she has made sure her family will not be in America this year on Thursday," an insider tells Shuter.

A family friend said, "If Brad wants turkey, he will have to cook it himself. For Angie, it will be another day when America tries to rewrite history."

Jolie is currently filming her directorial debut film about a Serbian man and a Bosnian woman who fall in love on the eve of war.

Who is your favorite Death Eater?

I've never really thought about it but, even though they are villains in the Harry Potter series, you've got to have a favorite, at least one.

Death Eaters, if you haven't heard already, are the followers of the Dark Lord aka Lord Voldemort aka Tom Marvolo Riddle. Seriously, how many names does Voldy have. J.K. Rowling is such a genius. I mean, can you honestly think of a better term to call the loyal servants of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named? I didn't think so.

There are a number of Death Eaters, some who are very honored to be a part of it, like Bellatrix Lestrange of course, and some who are just scared that's why they're a part of it, Draco Malfoy for example. I know he's just a new recruit at the start of the 6th book but he still has the Dark Mark upon his left forearm so yeah, that makes him a Death Eater nonetheless.

Well, I'm not going to mention every Death Eater. That'll take me forever. Maybe not entirely true but I have no interest in the others.

There's Bellatrix. So loyal and loves Voldy so dearly.

Of course we wouldn't miss Wormtail. The one who turned over the Potters to Voldemort out of cowardice.

The "double agent" Death Eater who played both of his parts very well indeed. Voldemort thought Snape was loyal to him but in fact his loyalty lies within Dumbledore.

Draco Malfoy who was forced to become a Death Eater because if he didn't become one, Voldemort would kill him and his family. Terrible, I know.

But I think Lucius is my favorite among the Death Eaters. He has got class and for me, he is practically royalty. Look at that pose. He is inexplicably terrifying and, not to mention, handsome. Who wouldn't want a Death Eater like that? LOL

And this post has ended. I hope you could share me your points-of-view about the Death Eaters. Who is your favorite? :)

A Harry Potter star's secret daughter?

I think I've not heard anything recently that is so, as Hermione would put it, pathetically dimwitted. According to Hollywooddame.com, the postcard above was sent to Post Secret claiming that one of the Harry Potter stars is the father of her daughter. Of course, the postcard was signed anonymously, clearly no evidence at all. What was this woman thinking?

Who doesn't want to have one-night stands with the actors above? LOL.

This is a laughing matter, seriously.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Review

I've just seen the movie a few hours ago and I have to admit, it was kind of disappointing.

The film was super compressed that it's like seeing a movie full of gaps between them. If one hasn't read the book or forgot the story, he/she wouldn't quite get a grasp on what's going on. You have to read the book first or read it again to understand the movie. There were so many changes, so many were extracted that you have no idea what's happening. You're always gonna ask "How did that happen?"

I knew I couldn't expect much from David Yates. He failed to amuse me with the Order of the Phoenix & the Half-Blood Prince, and now the Deathly Hallows. His treatment with the film is that it was too melancholic. For me, there wasn't too much excitement. The scoring was too quiet, if not none at all. The frames were it all fades to black happened twice or three times, it was almost like watching a TV show where a subtitle could appear and say "To be continued."

It's so sad that the film didn't do justice to the book, but of course, we are talking about David Yates here so no surprise there. As you all know, I am an HP fanatic and I would never bring down HP. This review is just my opinion.

Let's just hope that the last part, showing on July 2011, would be a hell lot better, if not, best. *crosses fingers*

Rating for this movie: 3/5
