THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

"We all have moments when we wish we could change something...Right a wrong.Correct a mistake. Gain love ... or power. What if we really could? But what if things might not turn out the way we would expect?


Due to my insisting curiosity, I research for some info's about it, like, why it's called the butterfly effect, and many more...
According to the Chaos Theory ( or known to us as the "butterfly effect") it is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Sensitivity to initial conditions means that each point in such a system is arbitrarily closely approximated by other points with significantly different future trajectories. Parallel to the movie, Ashton Kutcher is experiencing memory blackout, and as a therapy for it, he created a diary that he has written since he was at the age of seven and as he started reading it, his memories started to flashback. The theory is used here to give meaning to the "scenario" where Ashton or Evans went back to his memories and tried to change the way it happened to something better, but unfortunately, things were already different, the circumstances he thought would be the same was different anymore...

stereotypical relationship: the break up in review

Doing away with the ‘falling in-love’ plot like what most romantic flicks portray, The Break Up, starring Brad Pitt's ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and comedy actor Vince Vaughn, focused on the aftermath of being in a long time relationship.
However, a slideshow of pictures was shown at the beginning of the film as to cover the ‘magical’ moments the two have shared before they lived a ‘war-battered’ relationship.

Last July 26, this romantic-comedy hit the cinemas and now on its first week of showing. The movie directed by Peyton Reed, is a reality check on what most couples have to deal with after being together for so long. Quarreling over the unimaginable simple things and having differing points of view doomed their once flourishing relationship to failure.Brook, an art gallery assistant, became sick of his lazy boyfriend Gary, a tour guide in the Chicago bus, who can’t seem to do things right for her. All Brook asked from Gary were just simple things which in fact needed not to be asked for. A normal guy who truly loves his girl would absolutely do such things without even being asked to do it.

While watching the movie, you would even probably ask yourself why and how Brook fell in love with that kind of annoying and insensitive guy. Living in a condo unit, the couple Brook and Gary turned their nest into a war zone. Tirelessly nagging on to each other about petty things and arguing on who’s-going-to-do-what, made their everyday life together miserable, chaotic and literally noisy. With that, Gary called it quits. Brook’s family and friends got into the mind-boggling situation of the couple as well as Gary’s friends, which created an even worse scenario. Dividing the condo into two lead to more serious conflicts of privacy and property.

Jennifer Aniston, the same gorgeous face and brilliant actress that she really is very well portrayed the sophisticated, workaholic and yet loving character of Brook. You’ll love the way she nags over Vaughn and would make you even think if she did that to his ex-husband Brad Pitt. Vince Vaughn, being the comedy guy that he is was responsible for injecting the humor into the story; however, you’ll really get struck the moment he shifted gears and got serious into some scenes of the movie.

Towards the latter part of the movie, emotional scenes were piled up as the two started to realize and reflect their differences. It was where you can actually feel the entirety and the mood of the whole story. Tears would easily well up in your eyes as you see how Aniston played the unloved girlfriend of Vaughn. She was the type of a hopeful woman who actually worked her butt off just to save their relationship that’s going off the brink.

The director managed to create an ending that’s natural and absolutely believable for the audience to ponder as they face love's most challenging stage of breaking up. Lasting for less than two hours, this believable movie of how a couple could actually break up is a mixture of comedy and drama that would suit for a light viewing appetite. I believe most couples could actually relate to the movie as it happens in reality. When at some point of the relationship, someone loves more than the other and the promises made prior to the relationship were all gone in a blink of an eye.

LE VITA BELLA : Life is Beautiful

A period movie set in Italy during the World War II, Roberto Benigni's, Life Is Beautiful, is one of those films so touching and so magnificently directed that once you see it, you never forget it. Roberto Benigni co-wrote, directed and stared in this comedy-drama about the horrors of World War II. It's an unusual film that begins as a lighthearted romantic comedy and ends with a descent into the hell of WWII concentration camps.Imagine the life of father and son, making his son feel that everything is all right. As if there was nothing to worry in life. Roberto Benigni told her son that the war and the soldiers that surrounds them were just a part of the big movie that they are into, no matter how tough the situation was, he was able to managed to be calm and protect his son, ahh,,..very touching and riveting, it would tug your heartstrings!

With the use of humor and a game, Benigni's character helps his son in the worst of times. Some have tried to compare this film with ,schindler's list but I believe this film is more similar to the style of Charlie Chaplin (Gold rush, The Great Dictator), as it uses slapstick, social commentary, and satire to create a touching tale. Benigni took home the Oscar for Best Actor and his acceptance speech ranks as one of the best of all-time. Review by Aaron Caldwell

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELLING PANTS

“I’ve always liked the idea that clothing can hold emotions and memories or connections to other people, so it wasn’t a stretch to imagine a pair of jeans could be a physical repository for a living friendship.”
- Ann Brashares

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants brings to the screen Ann Brashares’ best-selling novel about one very special summer in the lives of four lifelong friends.
Introduced as babies who were born to mothers who met in a prenatal aerobics class, the four grew up together and developed an enduring bond despite their distinctly different emerging personalities. Now, after years of sharing every triumph and loss, every wild idea and secret fear with the laughter and love of true friends, these four young women couldn’t be closer… except that they’re about to be separated as their lives take them in different directions for the first time.
Introspective and occasionally volatile Carmen (AMERICA FERRERA) is looking forward to spending quality time with her out-of-state dad, whom she hasn’t seen much since he divorced her mother years ago; super-confident star athlete Bridget (BLAKE LIVELY) is heading for a soccer camp in Mexico; soft-spoken Lena (ALEXIS BLEDEL), a gifted artist as beautiful as her drawings, is set to discover her heritage – and an unexpected romance – on a trip to her grandparents’ home in Greece; and sharp-witted rebel Tibby (AMBER TAMBLYN) will reluctantly remain in town, stocking shelves at the local discount store while working on her pet project, a video “suckumentary” to expose what she sees as the banality of everyday life.
On a shopping trip together the day before their paths diverge, the friends find a pair of thrift-shop jeans that amazingly fits and flatters each one of them perfectly, even though they are four young women of very different shapes and sizes. It seems these pants are meant for sharing and that gives Carmen, Bridget, Lena and Tibby a wonderful idea. They decide to use the pants as a way of keeping in touch during the months ahead, each one wearing them for a week to see what luck they bring before mailing them on to the next.
In this unique way, though miles apart, the four still experience the challenges and surprises of life as they always have – together – in a summer they’ll never forget.

LEMONY SNICKET'S : A series of unfortunate events

"Don't say we didn't warn you."



I've seen this movie a week ago, (thanks HBO!) I heard this movie before but no matter how moviefanatic I was, I wasnt able to know about it, except for an instance when it's title was used as a selection for a wordplay...after that, I became curious about it..(my signal for every interesting movie) not so long ago, fate gave me a chance to watch what was it about.


The story begins with a note saying "Dont say we didnt warn you"...it was encrypted in a frightful-grayscale way...I got bored watching it at first that is why i turned the channel to cartoon program...but then I switched it out again...When I started earning out my guts to watch the movie once more, it already started the scene was already about three young children from an ashed huge house then a young who was a brother to the other 2 children found a spyglass and take it as they walked out of that place.

The three children were Klaus (the boy) Violet (the eldest girl) and Sunny (the youngest girl ) they were taken by their lawyer to their immediate relative who will take care of them since they were already orphan.They were sent to Count Olaf (villain) which also lights out the rope for the series of unfortunate events...

The story was really nice... And I admire the author of this novel (well since it was originally a novel before they adapted it into film) the story was nice, well though the unfortunate circumstances was not (harhar). The movie will really make you think and make guess of what's to next to happen, Daniel Handler (Mr. Lemony Snicket) the author of this novel was really really great!!!
