The COW... has come BACK... to Singapore! It's been a decade since I last been to Singapore, and I must say a lot has changed. It's still antiseptically clean, and everybody is still proper and shit, but it's a bit more "vibrant". It's been a blast.

Read this first. Yes, it's the same formula all over again. Yes, it's bubblegum cinema. Yes, as usual, everything gets tied up cleanly and everybody lives happily ever after. Having said that, "A Very Special Love" is a damn good movie. Star Cinema has proven once again that it can take the tried and tested bubblegum formula and make a really good movie out of it anyway. In fact, not since "Got 2 Believe" have they been this successful. I watched this film in Glorietta 3, which was PACKED with an enthusiastic crowd that loved every minute of it. No, I could not consider this crowd to be purely Masa. It really wasn't. And still, it got them hooked (applause at the end of the film!). Again, the elements added up to create this wonderfully light and effective film. Time for my bulletpoints. - Sarah Geronimo is GOLD. True, that may be the ONLY character she can do, but she does it so well.

It was a wonderfully crafted film. A few tech glitches here and there, but otherwise it was okay, and I'm sure a lot of people loved it. Problem is, I didn't. Not their fault, I guess I just don't dig ABBA that much. - Meryl Streep is GOD - Amanda Seyfried is that type of nice wholesome girl you just want to ravage - Scariest moment: Colin Firth, half-naked, embracing another man. Ewwwww... - I just read through the summary of the musical. They actually omitted some songs from the film. And I still thought there were too many musical numbers in the film. But hey, that's just me. - One thing, though. I really thought putting Bill and Rosie's number AFTER Sam and Donna's wedding totally crapped up the narrative flow. And as I suspected, in the musical, the scene came before the wedding. Where it should have been. - Brilliant soundtrack. Overall, I feel so left out here. I guess it's not my kind of film. http://psychocow.multiply.com/reviews/item/9 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:01:23 -0000 I read about this first at <a href="http://popazrael.multiply.com/journal/item/1550/Eraserheads_reunion_concert_2008_-_threads_blind_items_clues_and_more._this_is_i...?replies_read=12">Az's Multiply site</a>.&nbsp; IS THIS TRUE?!?<br> <br><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.jakeyrastorza.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SHS@6goKCDsAAGFaL5k1/E%20FLYER2.jpg?et=WiRNBWOQ4QQAlNPiBJQ%2CQA&#x26;nmid=0" border="0"><font size="6">08 30 08</font><br><br> http://psychocow.multiply.com/journal/item/114/Is_this_true_IS_THIS_TRUE Thu, 10 Jul 2008 06:00:07 -0000 OH MY GOD, this album is brilliant. Everything was done exquisitely, and I am still reeling from the sheer beauty of everything I listened to. In giving these classic rock songs (such as Kanlungan, 214, El Bimbo, Laki sa Layaw, among others) the orchestral treatment, FILharmoniKA has given them the ultimate tribute, while giving the local orchestra scene a boost. But then again, should anyone expect any less from Gerard Salonga? I should think http://psychocow.multiply.com/reviews/item/8 Wed, 9 Jul 2008 08:11:27 -0000 If I ever gave a shit about the whole OnL fiasco, it's only because my friend U2 (or as he is now known as: Law, the bassist) got a second shot with the Camerawalls.
