The Haunting of Molly Hartley - Crap Tuesday, December 01, 2009

For starters, let me just say that please do not make the same mistake as I did, which is watching this crap disguising itself as a movie.

I had the unfortunate opportunity to watch this movie with my husband and the kids. It tells the story of a girl whose 18th birthday is a few days away, and a lot of strange things are happening to her. Her own mother tries to kill her by stabbing a pair of scissors to her chest, and one of her classmates also tries to drown her in the church.

This movie unfortunately does not have any redeeming parts, as it was totally not scary, and the plot is pathetic. The lead actress, Haley Bennett, is really pretty but other than that, everything else sucks.

The cause of all the trouble is the fact that Molly Hartley was born dead, but a lady who appears out of nowhere gives her parents a choice. Molly then begins to cry and live. The condition is that once Molly turns 18, the lady who appeared will take her back. So there, just figure things out for yourself. She begins to be something like the female version of Damien in the Omen movies, starting on her 18th birthday.

2012 - OK for Me Monday, November 30, 2009

My husband and I watched 2012 a few weeks back and like most movies I've watched, it's about the destruction of the earth. With all the pollution and other damages that we are causing the earth, humans have created an imbalance and our world is reacting to it by unexplainable weather changes and land shifts.

John Cusack has the lead role in this movie, who also happens to be a favorite actor of mine. I watched 1408 and I thought he was amazing in that movie. He tries to save his family from the disaster as he discovers "a way" (I will not disclose in case there are readers who haven't seen it yet) to be saved from the destruction. He does everything in his powers to save his family, which is made even possible by the help of a Chinese monk.

Good points of the movie include amazing effects and great actors, but for me, it is not a really awesome movie I would drool over for, like Knowing for instance. For me, it was just like a sci-fi high-tech Noah's Ark. Oh well, I guess I gave the movie away. :-)

A New Template Thursday, November 26, 2009

I've had the three column dots dark template for quite some time, and when I came across Deluxe Templates and this particular template named City Sleeps, I just had to have it in one of my blogs.

Because I've inserted a lot of HTML codes before the tag, I had to tediously copy every single one of them. I also had to copy widgets of mine on a notepad so that I wouldn't lose any of the widgets I have come to get used to and love.

I've also admittedly been slacking off on blogging, especially since I have a lot of online work on my hands right now, but these new templates I've installed make me want to blog all day! If you notice though, there are spaces between the posts, enough to fit another post in it. I left a comment on Deluxe Templates about this, and I hope they respond. I hate seeing that empty space as the OC in me is dying to fix it but I don't know how.

Goodbye Johnny Delgado Wednesday, November 25, 2009

I did not know the Philippine actor Johnny Delgado had passed away last November 19 due to cancer. He has always been one of my favorite actors in the Philippine industry, particularly because he had class in acting and was really good in his craft.

It is sad when someone passes away, even if you did not personally know the said person.

I Love Queen Torrent! Sunday, November 22, 2009

I am quite new when it comes to downloading torrents, all thanks to this laptop that I'm using. It came with a torrent downloader application, and I had to spend some time figuring things out. One of the things I needed to figure out was finding a website I could download tv torrents and other torrent files as well.

It was then when I came across Queen Torrent. I just love how the site is so easy to use, it's practically foolproof! I also appreciate how the seeds are already listed along with the torrent file, so that you don't have to search for which torrents have the most seeds. I really like this site, and I'm actually busy downloading several files at the moment, and I still have a lot on queue!
