Triwizard Tournament

We’ve been watching this four times a day since Monday. After gratuading from The Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets, the Goblet of Fire is now Sandy’s latest favorite. Whether she’s playing or lying down on the bed, Goblet of Fire needs to be turned on just in case she wants to see Harry.

I’m not complaining. In fact, I’m really glad that she wants to watch this as I’m getting tired of HP1 and 2 already. Although Sandy learned to cast her fave spell, “Expecto Patronum” from HP3 (The Prisoner of Azkaban), she’s not that crazy about it because of the dementors. Goblet of Fire is also one of my favorites, aside from Order of the Phoenix (book version not the movie, the movie didn’t meet my expectations). I like how Harry seem to be stronger and wiser here and the fact that Voldermort is back makes it exciting even more.

We really need to get a new tv mount soon so the TV can be moved easily. Do you know that she even likes to watch Harry (or Hi5) while she’s doing number 2 or taking a bath? Mind you, we’re not turning our TV into a babysitter because she loves asking questions nonstop while watching.

Disney Princesses

Sandy and I are into Disney movies lately. I’ve always enjoyed Disney movies when I was a kid especially the Princess stories that I wanted Sandy to experience them as well.

The Husband bought all these for her.

Little Mermaid used to be Sandy’s favorite but after seeing Sleeping Beauty, she now wanted to be like her. She loved the song “I love you… I walked with you once upon a dream“. Not sure about the lyrics but she always asks me to stand up, hold her hands so we can “waltz” while I sing.

Of course, my all time favorite is still Aladdin. I was about 12 years old when I saw it and had a huge crush on Aladdin. I wanted my future husband to look like him and guess what, I got my wish LOL. I highly encourage you to watch it. It’s not only romantic but it’s soooo hilarious! Robin Williams as the Genie is just awesome. I believe I watched the DVD 4x already ever since we bought it.

Hay, it feels good to get lost in fairy tales again.

That Actor

I’ve been awake since 4AM not because I was thinking of something deep or life changing. I can’t sleep because I’ve been trying to remember who played Sandra Bullock’s husband on the movie, Premonition. Eli knows I love these kind of movies so he recommended that I watch this one. It was okay, not exactly mind blowing, but I enjoyed it. The thought of having to wake up one morning seeing your husband is dead and your daughter have hideous scars on her face then wake up the next morning and see that everything’s back to normal. I still don’t know who the actor was, can’t even remember his name. I won’t check google yet unless I can’t take it anymore. I HAVE to remember it on my own first.

Spread the Paranoia

Sherwin and I are always on the lookout for the next blockbuster hit. We always check movie websites to read about the latest box-office leaders including the most popular in the coming soon list. That is how I stumbled upon this bug movie starring Ashley Judd. It was actually the movie posters that caught my eye first. I’ve always loved psychological thrillers and the poster for the bug movie clearly suggests that something disturbing and mind-bending is about to happen. I like how the silhouette of another woman appears on Ashley Judd’s face.

The other one, however, reminds me of this movie that I saw when I was a kid about a bunch of bugs invading the planet earth. Well, it’s a bug movie after all.

From the web site, it says that it’s a story about a lonely waitress with a tragic past and constantly in fear of her abusive ex-husband. She then met and had a tentative romance with Peter; an eccentric war veteran who thinks the government performed experiments on him and implanted tiny bugs under his skin. To summarize, it’s about two lonely people who bond over their delusions. This movie is directed by William Friedkin who also directed The Exorcist. If you’ve seen that movie, you probably won’t be surprised to see similar unforgettable disturbing scenes. Watch the trailer here.
