I have just finished watching Angels & Demons a few hours ago. It was what I expected it to be - an inaccurate portrayal of the book. Well, I have yet to see a film that gives an almost exact rendition of the book. Such was also the case in the Harry Potter movies that I have seen. The inaccuracy can be forgiven, however, if the film makers used the same climax as the one in the book. Unfortunately, this was not the case in most HP movies (Yup, I really hate Prisoner of Azkaban movie) and even in Angels & Demons. I have to day, however, that I had a great time. I'm not just sure if it was because I was with my sister or because it had been a long time since I had been in a cinema or because the movie was really good.
Was the movie bad? I'd leave that up to you since a friend requested (in a harsh way!) me not to write a review until he, too, has seen the movie and has read the book. Being a call center whore, I don't think he'd be able to do both anytime soon (nyahahahaha!)
So what's the post all about? Before my sister and I went to see the movie, we had splurged on some food and some massages which gave me an idea on what to post here - my most money-splurging moments! So these are the things that I usually don't scrimp on: (this was supposed to longer but blogger seems to not like it and pubslihed only up to "scrimp on" so I had to re-type the list)
- Food - Even my mom can't understand where I put everything that I eat. Blame it to my over-efficient metabolism! I usually hang out at McDo, Wendy's, Yellow Cab, Charlie Brown, Dencio's, Gilligan's, Rai Rai Ken, Italianni's, Six Sex Four (if you know this one, I'd bet you're from PLM or Mapua), Tokyo Tokyo, Aimis, Happy Burger, Chowking, Hap Chan, David's Tea House, Ma Mon Luk, Ramon Lee, The Old Spaghetti House, Spaghetti Factory, Ilonggo Grill, Teriyaki Boy, Sbarro's and anywhere where they serve rice :)
- Books - I've got tons of them that we already have 3 bookshelves (not counting those that we have already sold)
- Gadgets - me likes shiny objects :) (Must....not....buy.....blue h1 netbook)
- Massages
Yep, I really did not post anything about clothes or shoes. I leave that up to Natasha, Avon and Boardwalk hehehehe

ReplyDeleteso who's this friend who sonuvabitchingly requested you not to write a review until he's seen the movie? obviously it's not me as im not the type of call whoring person who'd make requests over some much-hyped robert langdon movie.

ReplyDeletehuh? uhm....ala naman akong sinabing ikaw yan ha?
i watched the movie last weekend. just like da vinci code, mas maganda sa libro. some characters were not much established in the film. but in all fairness to the film makers, maganda naman ang pagkakagawa ng angels and demons... o sadyang fan lang kasi ako ni tom hanks. hehehe!
ReplyDeletemaganda naman actually pagkagawa nya...siguro if I had seen the movie first, mas maaappreciate ko sya...
ReplyDelete...beats me, fan din ako ni Tom Hanks e hehehehe
