I know what The Last Airbender is. I know it, by name. Though a Nickelodeon-fan kid before, I was not able to watch religiously this TV-series-turned-movie no matter how I want to. Time constraint just can’t get off of my sleeve. But people always tell me that it is a good one, an interesting one. And the movie is here to prove it to me.
In Youtube, people gave really really awful reviews for The Last Airbender. I’ve been excited about this since mid-2009 and was even partially disappointed that Avatar (which came out earlier) is not this. Now it’s here and I read bad reviews.
The trailer didn’t get me excited compared to Harry Potter 6′s trailer. Nevertheless, I may be watching this one in 3D (if available in SM) with my office mates, I suppose. Aside from watching how Mr-Slumdog-Millionaire works as a fantasy antagonist, I’m interested with the story and how it made watchers cuss. As for me, I am more of the appreciative type when it comes to movies — I even liked Dragon Ball Evolution when people hated it.
I just hope SM replaces Toy Story 3 3D fast and switch to The Last Airbender. By then, I’d be confused as to watch Avatar 3D in IMAX or this. Need to save up.
SM City Cebu’s IMAX will open next week, July 9, to the public. The most talked movie from the last months, Avatar (in 3D), will be the first to be shown in IMAX. IMAX is coined as the ultimate movie experience because of its large screen, crisp display and improved sound. IMAX in the Philippines was first introduced in the SM Mall of Asia. SM City Cebu’s IMAX is the first outside of Metro Manila and would have a smaller screen, 14 meters, compared to MOA’s 22-meter high screen. SM City Cebu’s IMAX theater is a 400-seater by the way, to cater to the population of Visayas & Mindanao.
“One of the most exciting things I’ve ever done…” tells Jonathan Groff pertaining to Glee‘s production of Bohemian Rhapsody. This is a continuation of my Bohemian Rhapsody mania started with this post. I state it again and again, Vocal Adrenaline’s production of the song and Groff’s outstanding (yet coined heartless) solo performance is a stand out.
I couldn’t agree more to what the people in the video said. Groff, though admitting he isn’t a trained dancer, did his moves well. Jesse St. James is a well-played Glee character. I believe he deserves to be part of the next season. I vote Groff over Charice. If only I have that power.
I finally upgraded my iPod Touch’s software to the latest Apple release, the iOS 4. Quite a quaint name but it hell brings in a lot of new features with it. iOS 4 is the first version of the OS to arrive as a free upgrade on the iPod touch. Lucky us iPod Touch users then.
Blogger friend Alps talks about the iBooks app, one of the main highlights of the iOS 4. The iBooks app is very very useful and convenient but it is not what really got me excited to upgrade to iOS 4. It’s the ability to set a wallpaper on the home screen! I’ve been wanting this simple feature for so long already and now it’s here. Goodbye black boring screen.
The other iOS 4 features that I like are, really, only a few:
home screen wallpaper capability
iBooks – maybe I should read something off — some Internet diet prolly
folders – you can now use folders to simply group your apps per category; a cool feature, but next time, they should put a password feature for the folders
create song playlists on the iPod itself
multitasking (I rarely do multitasking on my iPod anyways)
spell check – in times of brain freeze, this is handy dandy
integrated mail app – puts all your email accounts’ mail in one inbox
and a lot more I have yet to discover
Overall, I am glad I upgraded to the iOS 4. I mean, everyone (those applicable) should upgrade to the iOS 4. You get a bunch of new features and your iPod will look sleeker as ever. Thanks to Techlivez btw since I manually downloaded iOS 4 from the direct link they provided. Can’t wait to discover more new features from my iPod’s iOS 4.
Bohemian Rhapsody‘s a timeless piece of classic. I didn’t quite notice it until it was sung in Glee‘s season finale in a grand-like production by the Vocal Adrenaline. It got me interested and curious on how, why the song was created — the grand mix of different types of genres into one piece of long and emotion-driven music.
It turned into an LSS (last song syndrome) and then it tinkered my brain into doing some research. Thanks Wikipedia for the information. Bohemian Rhapsody is a song created by Freddie Mercury and was sung by famous band Queen. Mercury created the song out of his own personal emotions and frustrations (I believe). Mercury had a very interesting and challenging life: famous, homosexual, AIDS. Read the Wikipedia article for this song and you’ll see how long it took them to produce such magnificent piece.
What interests me most is the composition of the song — being divided into six sections, namely: introduction, ballad, guitar solo, opera, hard rock, and outro. My favorite parts are the hard rock and the outro, though the opera I find very intense too.
Vocal Adrenaline (Glee) gave justice to the song. Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff) is a very good (broadway) singer. VA’s choreography is undeniably amazing.
For now, I won’t get the hang out of Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen’s version is on my iPod now.
