no movie tickets needed.



these past days. i've been spending most of my time hanging out and drinking with my high school and college friends. those are nights of fun but nothing out of ordinary. days are passing like cars in a highway but it seems that nothing special is happening. well, drinking with friends is fun. i had burst so many laughs that i haven't done for weeks. i've got the chance to sing my heart out in videoke. got good both shallow and deep conversations. everything's fun. but then again boredom strikes when there is nothing left to do but to stare at the TV, surf the net and play with my dog. it seems that its getting harder and harder for me to pass a day without being productive or got totally nothing to do. (i guess it's now time to move and find a job. what job? i have no idea.)

so today, i've decided to spend my time looking for some good movies that i can watch for free in the net. thanks to video hosting sites. they can provide movie suckers with high definition and new released movies. and finally, i got the two movies i've been wanting to watch. (when friends have already watched the movie you want without their notice, you'll find yourself watching in the cinema alone. one thing i hate about singlehood.)

so there. first pick. the ugly truth starring katherine heighl and gerard butler. i've heard so many good reactions from friends with this movie. and when i first saw the trailer, i really know i wanted to watch it.

(warning: spoilers)

so what's the movie all about? well its merely about what woman really wants. and what man really wants. the do's and dont's of dating and flirting. and the ugly truth between the differences of the world of a man and a woman. women are living in the world of the ideal man, a perfect guy and a fantasy romance. while men are living in the world of great sex, big tits and big asses. well, i actually don't know what to believe in. i agree that women are drowned to the idea of fantasy romance but i still have doubts if men are really just after sex. its true physical attractions comes first. guys are crazy about sex. but is it just all that? well, the movie itself proved that the ugly truth that gerard butler used to believe in is somehow not true when the time he has fallen inlove with katherine. emotions are possible.. feelings comes after physical attraction. after great sex. after big tits and asses. men are capable of falling in love. men are not dogs. they are not heartless. they can fall in love. love is not a fantasy. it is real. the truth is... not all truths are ugly, sometimes they also have beauty. but then, the movie is still fiction so i still didn't know what to believe in. hehe

another movie i scored in the net is 500 Days of Summer which is currently showing in cinemas. the movie will make you clueless on whats going to happen next because of the non contemporary plot. the first part bores me. its a story of a man named Tom who believes in fairytales, soulmates, destiny and happy endings who happens to fall in love with a woman named Summer who doesn't believe in any of those. since the woman is a non-believer of love, she told Tom that they are not going anywhere. she doesn't want anything serious. all she wanted is fun. but then, Tom agreed, though all he wanted is to be loved as he loves. his whole life revolved around Summer. and so.. a one sided love never succeeds. Tom was left broken. all his beliefs about love faded as Summer turned her down and married another man. he doubted the existence of love. but when an another encounter of Tom and Summer happened, Tom learned that Summer is no longer a non-believer of love since the day she met the guy she married. all of a sudden their beliefs reversed. Tom is now a bitter non-believer while Summer is a happily married believer of love.

soon, Tom began to pick up his broken pieces and continue life. during a job interview, another woman entered her life.. her name was Autumn.

you'll go crazy if you think all about the matters of love. though, i still tried to digest the message of the film. i think few things the film wanted to point out is that love can change our faith. love can destroy us. love makes us happy. love is complicated.. and most importantly.. have faith.. love happens.

you may not end up with the person whom you've loved so much. but it doesn't mean you'll never be loved by someone or love someone again. some things are just not meant to happen.

how i wish love can happen to me now.. aw..
