Jennifer's Body Movie review: This would be my 1st movie review after conceptualizing such review since Batman Returns and the 3rd Megan Fox movie I watched in the big screen as far as I can remember..

Now on the review:

Nice plot. Two best friend's relationship was torn when an indie band kidnapped Jennifer (Fox) and sacrificed her to the Devil to become f*cking famous...(so f*cking rock n roll urban legend)..Her friend "Needy" took most of the beating after that (So watch the movie to find out).

The movie got a lot of witty, cheap witch craft spells and sarcastic lines (e.g. dissing Hannah Montana and Maroon 5) and I laughed a couple of times.

Music credits Ryan Levine and the movie's main song: "Through the Trees" is written by him. I dunno if he is related to Adam Levine of the Maroon 5 fame. "Through the Trees" is as annoying as the "Amadeus" song from "Adventure land" movie. I was surprised that Hole's Violet was played in the movie (I checked that the movie title was derived from a song title from Hole's "Live Through This" album. What also surprised me is that it was written by Diablo Cody of "Juno" fame after seeing it on the end credits.

Questions going round and round in my head after seeing the movie:

1) I do not remember the actors and actresses mentioning the movie title or did I? (some guilty pleasure of waiting...)

2) Why did Jennifer lost her Devil powers after Needy got rid of their BFF (Best Friends Forever) necklace from her on their cat fight? I can't remember Jennifer wearing hers before eating them boys.

3) Why did Needy didn't think of an antidote or reverse curse for Jennifer after researching it thoroughly in their Library? (hehehe)

***watched the movie @ Greenbelt 3.
There were cuts or deleted scenes:
a) the lake scene after Jennifer went out from the river and;
b) the girl to girl action part (Jennifer and Needy).

All in all, I never expected that it would be a good movie and one of those movies wanting to be a cult favorite...

Rating: ******** 8 out of10 asterisks.

Concert Recall: Lotus Eaters Live in Manila

Concert Recall: Lotus Eaters Live in Manila August 3, 2002 Rockwell Club Tent. The Lotus Eaters: Jeremy Kelly and Peter Coyle / Early Years I was trying to recall all the concerts I have attended for the last few years. Being gulity on not attending the following concerts here in Manila: Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam, Cranberries, Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth and Foo Fighters, I need to start my blood thirst concert viewing ASAP! One of those memorable concerts that I attended to was the concert of the 80's new wave band: The Lotus Eaters. This would be my first foreign artist concert I watched here in Manila and the first new wave band I saw live in the Philippine shores. I was aware of the band since the late 80's because of their songs were played on cassette tapes and vinyl by my elder brother and sister. Their songs were also in heavy rotation on the radio station 89 DMZ. There were only 3 Lotus Eaters song I knew of: "The First Picture of You",...

Deftones - To Have and to Hold

Image
It is destined to be... ...Like Nostradamus foreseeing the future of rock concert scene in Singapore and Manila!  After seeing their tour list on their website last October that Deftones will have an Australian tour and Perth is the last city in February 2011, it was strategically correct that there is a big chance that they are going to push for an Asian tour. I posted on twitter and FB that “I smell Deftones live in Manila in February 2011!” I have suggested the possibility of bringing Deftones here in Manila to few organizers and one of them answered my prayers: Splintr.com, the same group who bravely brought the 90’s Premiere Industrial Rock Band Nine Inch Nails here in Manila. Bringing Deftones to Manila is the biggest follow up concert indeed from NIN.  And LAMC Productions will also bring Deftones in Singapore on February 16, 2011. I imagine this event as a gigantic fire cracker from the recent Chinese New Year to hit Singapore!!! (Re...
