Sex in the City (movie)

Here’s a date movie I’d recommend… I’m pretty sure you’d get “Carried” away.

Watch Kung Fu Panda!

If you think this Kung Fu Panda trailer is funny…

…then you should definitely watch the movie. Jack Black (Po, the panda) and Dustin Hofman’s (Kung Fu Master) performances were absolutely hilarious!!! Hahaha! I almost cried laughing last night watching the movie with my girlfriend, Picci, and her sister, Parchy.

It’s very different from the other supposedly funny movies like Superhero Movie, wherein they put ALL of the hilarious / best scenes on their trailers. In Kung Fu Panda’s case, the trailer is really just a “tip of the iceberg.” If you’ve just seen the trailer, wait till you watch the whole movie!

P.S. Make sure to watch till the end credits!

Directing is my thing!

For months now, I’ve been asking myself: what do I love doing? The answer came to me after I watched “There will be Blood.” There wasn’t really any scene in particular that struck me. I just love the whole movie. And it hit me!

If I’d compare my career to a movie, I’d say I’m taking the director’s role. At this point, you’re probably confused as I am writing this blog. But allow me to explain further. I beg for your patience.As far as I know, there are 2 basic things a movie director does. One, the director puts structure into the producer / film owner’s vision. Two, the directors collaborates with talents (actors and film production people) to create the best movie ever.

In my role as the (Senior) Business Development & Operations Manager for Odyssey Next Edge, I’d like to think that I’m like a movie director, where I’m making the “movie” OdysseyLive.net. Jay, my boss, is the “film” owner and producer. I’m his commissioned director. As the director, I organize and put details to the vision / concept of my boss for Odyssey Next / OdysseyLive.net. Moreover, I also work with various “talents” from music artists to music video directors to band managers to record label owners. Of course I still manage my “production crew” which included my A&R guys, project manager / designer and my developer. If I’m a real director, I’d like my “movie” – OdysseyLive.net – to win best motion picture in the Oscars!

On Oscar Winners (2008)

Here are some of the films I wanna watch (and recommend):

• No Country for Old Men.  It won Best Motion Picture of the Year and Achievement in Direction among other things.
