Bride Wars

Even best friends can't share the same wedding day.

Liv (Hudson) and Emma (Hathaway) bowed that they will be wed only at Plaza Hotel and would only commission the famous wedding planner Marion St. Claire. They were the best of friends and from childhoold imagine what their wedding would be like.

Years after, Liv became a successful lawyer while Emma became a simple school teacher. Their boyfriends proposed to them on the same day and the twist and turns of the story began. They got reservation at Plaza Hotel and got the service of Marion but due to Marion's secreraty's mistake -- their weddings were scheduled on the same day. None of them would want to change the date and so from best of friends they became the worst enemies, both trying to sabotage each wedding preparations. You have to watch the movie to know how it ends. ^_^ Husband and i love watching this movie and we had a grand time laughing.

Bride Wars shall be my share on today's Tuesday Couch Potatoes with a wedding theme. Click the badge to see more movies featured today.

Ever After

My favorite love story of all time is The Notebook. I just love the film and the actors on it. But what i like to feature on TCP this week is my second favorite love film of all – EVER AFTER. I have been looking around for my own copy of this one.. I need to have a DVD, husband has to watch this ASAP. LOL
Ever After Summary at IMDB
If Cinderella was a true story, it would be very much like Ever After. Danielle D'Barbarac, is the strong, fiery daughter of a dead nobleman. She works as a servant to her step mother, the Baroness D Gent. One day Danielle pretends to be a courtier to help a servant escape from being taken to the Americas. She captures the eye of the most unlikely person, the crowned prince of France! The two fall in love, but they are up against the ruthless Baroness D Gent, and her spoiled daughter, Marguerite who are determined to see that Margurite becomes Henry's bride. However with the servants, Danielle's kind step sister, Jacqueline, and Leonardo Da Vinci on Danielle's side, Danielle and Prince Henry's love can survive even though he is a prince and she is a servant girl.

Naked Weapon

I miss TCP! It’s so good to be back.. For last week, I have to agree that AVATAR really leads 2010 blockbuster movie. It is one of my favorite films of all time not only because of the papable Jake Sully but also because I watched it with my most papable husband, Yobib lol.

When kikamz told me about this week’s theme I only had SO CLOSE in my mind, my sister and I love that film so much, we watch it over and over again. But since kamz featured it already I have to share my next favorite girl power film – NAKED WEAPON.

What I dislike on the film is the brutal trainings and the part when the three girls were raped by Madam M’s guards. But the film has a ‘so close’ charm because the lead characters are pretty but deadly. You don’t mess with girls like them..

And for those who haven't watch the film yet, here's a plot from IMDB:

Like a contagious virus, pretty and athletic girls in their teens start disappearing around the globe one after another. The mastermind behind these abductions is Madame M, who plans to train these girls into professional killers. After several years of gruesome training, only Charlene, Katt and Jill survive and become the world's most sought after professional killers. On a recent mission to assassinate someone in Hong Kong, however CIA agent Jack, who vows to help her reclaim her past by eliminating Madame M.

I miss TCP

This space on this blog is reserved for my tuesday couch potatoes entries. i tried to join as much as i can but since i have no more means ( i say the culprit still is the ever hard to find good internet connection at home) it is with heavy heart that i have to see weeks without TCP on my archive.

I miss joining TCP, i miss the participants and i miss the host! Miss you kamz! :) Will definitely join in the next tuesdays... oh holiday season really gives me reason to get some time management class! LOL

Air Force One

One of my favorite movies of all time is Air Force One! This is my share for Kikamz’ TCP with a theme of American president and his family.

I watched this movie when I was still in the Sisters of Mary School, I was high school then. But every time I see a copy I would recall all the scene as if I watched it just last night. I just love this move and I love Harrison Ford!
For those who haven't watched it yet, here's the summary of Air Force One:

The President of the United States is on a journey home after making a speech in Moscow. But on the journey, Russian hi-jakers take over the plane, disguising themselves as newspaper reporters. They want the President to ring Moscow and release General Redek. But they think that the President has escaped in the pod. But the president is really still on board air force One attempting to regain control of the plane and to rescue his wife and daughter. Written by Dilen Foster

All's fair when love is war

For today's TCP theme is about DRAMA films. I know i have watched lots of dramatic films and shed a lot of tears already but i really love dramas and the tears that comes with it. LOL. So what come's first on my list is my all time favorite dramatic film, The Good Son. Boy, i cried a river while watching that drama from way back when.

Anyways, yesterday husband and i watched this 2009 film OBSESSED and i was really obsessed. The film has a negative reviews but for me it was quiet good! It was like riding a roller coaster ride with my emotions, i was really moved by the movie but surprisingly i didn't cry! Though, I lost my favorite pearl earrings while watching... ihhhh i was so mad at Ali Larter's character i threw my earring somewhere, LOL! Toldyah i was really into that film yesterday. LOL

For a story summary:
A successful asset manager, who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage. But a temp worker starts stalking him, all the things he's worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy.

Matilda

T

There is one thing about my high school days that i can't forget and that was our weekly saturday movie time. I always look forward to saturdays because of that! In case you don't know, i spent my high school days at the Sisters of Mary School, we study, work, pray and play at that compound in Manila for more than three years. We only went home to spend our two weeks vacation with our family yearly. And yes, Our founder Fr. Al, i know will be a saint soon!

Eleven years after and i still can recall the magical film that i so love. I would get a copy every time i see one at a neighborhood video renting shop. I just so love Matilda! So this is my share for Kikamz' Tuesday Couch Potatoes with a Magical theme..

Here's a short summary of this lovable and magical film:

Hook!

I grew up loving Peter Pan. I remember how excited i was every summer, when i had all the time to watch those series of Peter Pan, Cedie and Princess Sara before noon. That was my life then. But nothing compares to my excitement every time i watch the flying Peter Pan :) So HOOK is my share on Tuesday Couch Potatoes theme of Fantasy Adventure.

HOOK synopsis:

Parent Trap

One of my favorite movie of all time is The Parent Trap. I watched this movie when i was in high school and the memory of this awesome film didn't leave me since then. I love how Lindsay Lohan played the part of a twin, she is really cute. This movie is my share on this tuesday's theme of For the Entire Family movie :)

For a synopsis:
Hallie Parker and Annie James look exactly alike. What was it like being a twin without you knowing it? That's what the story goes for these girls. Hallie is a cool, laid-back gal from California. Annie James is a proper gal from London. Annie has never met her father, and Hallie has never met her mother. When they get thrown into the Isolation Cabin on their summer camping, they uncover the mystery behind the ripped picture. They realize that they are twin sisters separated at birth by their divorced parents, and they decide to switch places to meet the parent that they've never met. They also decide to get them back together. But then something awful happens that will wreck everything: their father is engaged to a beautiful, selfish witch who's only after their dad's money.

Tuesday Couch Potatoes: Iron Man

For today's theme at TCP as Robot/Cyborg Movie i decided to share Iron Man. Honestly, i have apprehensions before watching this movie, as i am into romantic/drama/comedy movies but when husband told me the movie seemed exciting i joined him. And yes Iron Man is a very exciting movie.. i have no regrets watching this and am so excited to see Iron Man 2 which will be showing on 2010!


Here's my short summary for Iron Man:
Tony Stark is an engineering genius and a complete playboy who runs Stark Industries, a weapon company. While in Afghanistan demonstrating his new missile invention he was captured and wounded by Afghanistan rebels. His captors want him to assemble a missile for them but instead he created an armored suit and a means to prevent his death from the shrapnel left in his chest by the attack. He used the armored suit to escape. Back in the U.S. he announces his company will cease making weapons and he begins work on an updated armored suit only to find out that his partner at Stark Industries Obadiah Stane has been selling Stark weapons to the insurgents in the Middle East. He uses his new suit to return to Afghanistan to destroy the arms and then to stop Stane from mishandling his research.

Tuesday Couch Potato: Little Mermaid

For this tuesday's theme of TCP as Disney's Fairy Tale theme i decided to write about The Little Mermaid. I would like to write about BOLT but it's not a fairy tale (LOL) but i love the movie, while The Lion King, one of my all time fave, was the choice of my OC dear kumareng Pehpot, Cinderella was my first choice but my kumareng seiko got it already plus the Beauty and the Best as my second choice was posted already by the TCP author kikamz. So now, i have to share my love for the little mermaid, ariel.

The Little Mermaid has it's local version in Dyesebel and a comedic rival Marinara. By heart you already know the story of The Little Mermaid, Ariel who has a very angelic voice, her life under the see and her dream of seeing the world above the ocean. Of course, it is one of those films who tell a story of a quests for TRUE LOVE. There are bumps along the road like the sorcerer Ursula and there are friends who helped her on her way to her Prince heart...

'And they live happily ever after' are the words i like most to read on every disney films ending! How about you? :) Join us every tuesday at TCP. It's always fun! :)

Tuesday Couch Potato: The Lodger

For today's theme of Tuesday Couch Potato, i chose The Lodger coz this was the latest suspense thriller i have watched in years. As i've always say to my girlfriends who would invite me out for a suspense thriller film, i won't buy a ticket just to give me heart attack. For all the movies i watched in my entire life, i can count how many of them are suspense thriller. They are less than 5! :)

I've watched this movie with husband one friday night and i might have collapsed on some part of the movie (going to the comfort room helps a lot! LOL), i don't like scary, suspense thriller films, i don't like killings, bloods and screamings.. But i finished this movie after a couple of loud cries and hard slapping to husband to press the stop button already, i am that coward when it comes to suspense movies :) Whew. But for those who wants a great night of suspense, try to grab a copy.. aside from the bloody murders and twist of events the movie is mind boggling and somewhat funny :)


The Lodger summary:
Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Hope Davis (About Schmidt), Shane West (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and Simon Baker (TV's The Mentalist) star in this terrifying thriller. The Lodger follows a seasoned detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer's grisly methods are identical to that of London's infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper - a relentless serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago. Could the wrong man be behind bars? Also starring Rachael Leigh Cook (Nancy Drew). [D-Man2010]

Tuesday Couch Potato: The Proposal

I had a very busy day at work but i hurried to get home to watch the DVD of THE PROPOSAL. I long wanted to write Ms Congeniality 1 or 2 but there is something about this new film that made me longing. And Sandra Bullock didn't fail me, i just made the neighbors awake with my very loud giggles last night. Ryan Reynolds played his comedic part well too! It was a treat after a very stressful day at work. Grab a copy and know what I mean when I say it’s really hilarious!
here's the full synopsis of The Proposal:

Margaret Tate (Sandra Bullock) is the executive editor-in-chief of a book publishing company, Colden Books, who forces her assistant Andrew Paxton (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her in order to avoid being deported to Canada. He grudgingly accepts, under the condition that he is promoted to the position of editor. When the government investigates, the two are forced to spend the weekend with his parents in Alaska in order to sell the lie. The family suggest they could marry the same weekend, and they reluctantly accept. They start to fall genuinely in love as they spend more and more time together. Because of this, during the wedding ceremony, Margaret decides she cannot do this to Andrew and confesses the business arrangement in front of everyone--including the immigration officer handling their case. She is then told that she has 24 hours to get back to Canada, and thus goes back to New York to pack her things. Upon doing so, however, Andrew shows up at the office and confesses his love for her in front of the entire office staff, proposing marriage all over again. [D-Man2010]

When high-powered book editor Margaret faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew, who she's tormented for years. He agrees to participate in the charade, but with a few conditions of his own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails, Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences. [D-Man2010]

Tuesday Couch Potato: Wall - E

My share on TCP this week on Science Fiction 3D Animation theme is none other than Wall E.

Husband fell asleep while watching this movie. The first part of the movie is not his type he told me. But I continued watching as I have heard a lot of applause on this flick. And so am glad I didn’t slept, I love how the story is written. I have to give credit to whoever wrote Wall e. It is a nice movie and I would like my daughter to watch this one when she is older.

In a distant, but not so unrealistic future, where mankind has abandoned earth because it has become covered with trash from products sold by the powerful multi-national Buy N Large corporation, WALL-E, a garbage collecting robot has been left to clean up the mess. Mesmerized with trinkets of earth's history and show tunes, WALL-E is alone on Earth except for a sprightly pet cockroach. One day, Eve, a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, is sent to earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with Eve. WALL-E rescues Eve from a dust storm and shows her a living plant he found amongst the rubble. Consistent with her "directive" Eve takes the plant and automatically enters a deactivated state except for a blinking green beacon. WALL-E, doesn't understand what has happened to his new friend, but true to his love, he protects her from wind, rain, and lightening, even as she is unresponsive. One day a massive ship comes to reclaim Eve, but WALL-E, out of love or loneliness hitches a ride on the outside of the ship to rescue Eve. The ship arrives back at a large space cruise ship, which is carrying all of the humans who evacuated earth 700 years earlier. The people of earth ride around this space resort on hovering chairs which give them a constant feed of TV and video chatting. They drink all of their meals through a straw out of laziness and/or bone loss, and are all so fat that they can barely move. When the auto-pilot computer, acting on hastily given instructions sent many centuries before, tries to prevent the people of earth from returning, by stealing the plant, WALL-E, Eve, the portly captain, and a band of broken robots stage a mutiny.

Tuesday Couch Potatoes: A Knights Tale

I am glad Kikamz started this fun weekly meme about movies and TV show. I am addicted to TV shows like 24, Alias and Friends before. I used to spend my weekends watching movies with my siblings when i was still single, we usually watch romantic, comedy and action films ( our favorite is Jachie Chan!). My husband and I love to spend friday nights and weekends watching movies at DVD. We used to go out and watch movies before but since we cannot bring yena yet to movie houses, we comfort ourselves with the DVDs! :)

Now am sharing one film i would love to watch over and over again! This is my first entry for Tuesday Couch Potato!

Funny. I really fell deeply in love with Heath Ledger after watching this movie - A Knight's Tale. I bet my husband too. I wonder why i didn't got the chance to watch it before, oh i guess i have my apprehensions. But since husband prefers to watch knights and armors and wars and greek myths i had no choice but to cuddle with him while watching..

I know Heath is dead. But he is really a good actor on that movie! He played William Thahcher's character and he was really very good! Love him. May he rest in peace. If you haven't watch this awesome flick grab or borrow a copy now!

Here's for the film's summary:

William Thatcher, a peasant, is sent to apprentice with a Knight named Hector as a young boy. Urged by his father to "change his Stars" he assumes Sir Hector's place in a tournament when Hector dies in the middle of it. He wins. With the other apprentices, he trains and assumes the title of Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein. By law, only Knights may compete. Being of humble birth, William aquires fake documents to support his new identity. At his first tournament, he meets the lovely Jocelyn who is a Lady and has no idea that William isn't noble. He also creates an enemy in Count Ademar, until then the best Knight in the games, and a rival for Jocelyn's affections. William goes on to win many tournaments and Jocelyn's love. Ademar discovers William's humble beginnings and turns him in. William is promtly arrested. The Black Prince Edward, who William had paid a past kindness to, makes William an official Knight of the Realm, thereby making it legal for him to compete. He beats Ademar, and he and Jocelyn celebrate.
