SILVERSCREEN: Eat Pray Love

This morning I rushed online and logged to my sureseats.com account and reserved2 tickets for me and a friend who's somewhat keen on watching the movie. I've read the book 2 years ago and never imagined that it would later become a film. Eat Pray Love is not a typical novel. To give you a review now would seem pathetic considering that the book's been launched 2006. I'm quite sure some of you have read it, one way or the other.

Julia Roberts is still the great actress that she is. She magnificently pulled off her Italian accent and quirky dialogues (monologue, sometimes). The movie would make anyone thirst for travel. It doesn't matter where, it would make you just do whatever what you want to do and pursue it. Eat Pray Love is essentially inspiring and moving. To sum it all up, this movie just means "If you want to be happy, BE".

Hats off to James Franco because even though his character looked a little off and uncanny, he managed to pull it off. Try to spot his extremely simple wardrobe where he sports a white tee. HOT is all I have to say.

The following are lines from the movie that I can't seem to shake off:

Ketut: Do not look at the world through your head; look at it through your heart.

Liz: I am so sick of people telling me I need a man.

Felipe: You don't need a man, you need a champion.

Liz: I remember an old catholic joke about a man who spent his whole life going to a church every day and prayed to the statue of a great saint begging "please, please, please, let me win the lottery." Finally the exasperated statue comes to life and looks down at the begging man and says "my son, please, please, please, buy a ticket." So now I get the joke, and I bought three tickets.

Richard: So miss him. Send him love and light every time you think about him, then drop it.

You may run but you're not allowed to hide.

The music industry's been overflowing with the likes of Akons, Ne-yos, Rihannas and Lady Gagas. You bring a boring love song to the scene and its sure to drop in about 5 seconds flat, specially now that pop sensation Justin Bieber crossed the great divide.

I miss the times when BOY BANDS actually define what good music is made of. I'm sure you've all heard of Hanson, N*sync and who can ever forget the Backstreet Boys? They were the IT band. Whoever dares to enter the kingdom of boy bands must answer to Brian, Howie, AJ, Kevin and Nick. If you don't know them, you better start googling now.

Talking about this pretty much gives away my age. Yes, I'm a 20-something lass from the land of MTv not-local. Back when there was MTv Most Wanted, MTv Select and MTv Fresh. Come to think of it, music has changed a lot as all things had.

When I was in high school, I used to listen to The Moffats. Yes, them. All the girls in our school were singing their songs and humming their tunes. To not know The Moffats back then would make me a loser. And mind you, my school was pouring with MEAN GIRLS. I don't know where The Moffats are now. Last news I heard was the fact that they were disbanded because of i-dont-know reasons. I remember having a huge crush on Clint. Now, I remember nothing :)

I found this on Google:

I don't know when this was taken but they look pretty damn good to me.
