Ocean's 8 (2018) ---just some reactions

Image
Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting -- that's how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it's going to take -- a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, in cluding jeweler Amita, street con Constance, suburban mom Tammy, hacker Nine Ball, and fashion designer Rose. Their target -- a necklace that's worth more than $150 million.-WWW Initial release :  5 June 2018 ( USA ) Director :  Gary Ross Film series :  Ocean's Budget :  70 million USD Producers :  George Clooney ,  Steven Soderbergh ,  Susan Ekins Written by( imdb ): Gary Ross ...

Their search leads them to Scarlet Overkill, the world's first-ever super-villainess.-WWW It took me a while before watching this film.  If I didn't get an sms from my dear friend, Vecca(hopefully she did not feel slighted when I didn't know it was her who texted me---since I have a new phone, I lost my contacts), I wouldn't push myself(and my mom) to watch this last night(dad's evening meeting ended a little past nine in the evening so we watched the 6:50PM showing). I received mixed reviews.  My brother, my sister-in-...

While You Were Sleeping (1995)

Sigh. I guess I'm just so cheesy. I'm such a sucker for this movie because I think I've seen this more than fifty times and I still get giddy and excited.  Being in love with love makes me feel like I'm high above the clouds.  Bill Pullman during his prime surely melted a lady's heart.  The story of Jack and Lucy is truly unforgettable.  Jack's family is also one of the best there is.  I can watch this over and over and over and over and over again.  It's not a thinkers' movie, OK? It's a movie that makes you light inside.  Reviews? Here are some links: Roger Ebert Amazon Customers Rotten Tomatoes From pinterest He was the just "bridge" and the reason why she met her true love I could melt if he looked at me this way I'm so glad he didn't...sigh...

This, that, All about Steve(2009), and The Gift of Abundance by Pido Aguilar

First an introduction: Whew. I believe we had a very fruitful Parish Pastoral Council ExeCom meeting. Details will be spared, but I must say that everything discussed was fair. I was pleased to see that Europe was good to my friends who just came from there.  It's obvious that they enjoyed their 3 week pilgrimage.  Tiring, but fulfilling, I guess. Thank God that I've been to some of those places already, but I do miss traveling to that side of the world. Maybe after election season, who knows? Anyways, this was a fruitful day too. I helped dad with some of his work.  I'll be helping him during the weekend (tomorrow I'll try to do stuff for the VSAP's Voice newspaper maybe after visiting a friend) and hopefully this will prepare him for his trip to Davao on Monday. Please pray for traveling mercies... After lunch I brought RJ to Southmall where we watched  ALL ABOUT STEVE (more about this below) and ate at the Beraldi Coffee Kiosk. Storyline from imdb: ...
