John Denver Trending

JUN, NEMIE. John Denver Meeting.2019.JPEG file. Social media and online games are today's virtual playground. It goes without saying that the convenience of posting photos or videos online is simply undeniable, We've all probably seen someone being targeted by people with malicious comments and being judged at social media exchanges. Arden Rod Condez debut feature film "John Denver Trending" at the 2019 Busan International Film Festival prods the dangers of social media to us and to the modern youth. Set in the rural area of Pandan in the province of Antique, a teenage boy named John Denver was ostracized and condemned after an uploaded video of him impulsively fighting back a false charge went viral. The film shows multifaceted and complex issues - inequality, cyber bullying, and platforms of media manipulation. A teenager who is fragile, less resilient and thoughtless by nature becomes so much overwhelmed and distressed by the consequences of his abru...

Samsung's AMOLED

Yup. I have a new phone and this is because of Chloe. She knocked out my phone so hard on the bathroom floor that made the monitor useless for two whole days! I went to a near Anycall service center and actually planned to repair it but they said that I had to pay for around 25,000won for a part replacement, I just thought of buying a new one since there are a lot of free phones nowadays and I had used my phone for more than two years. To pay 25k for an old, really full of scratches phone (because of Chloe) is too much for me since sooner or later I also need to replace it. In the end, it turned out not to be a free phone(850,000 won / $690). Tommy bought this phone for me saying that I need a "much, much better phone" because of his daughter...hahaha! and because I've been always using free phones since I came here in Korea (which are NOT really FREE PHONES because of the additional services included in the phone bill for the first few months). So, I resulted picking thi...

Mamma Mia! 2008

Directed by: Phyllida Lloyd Starring: Meryle Streep, Amanda Seyfried Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard Dominic Cooper, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski Year: 2008 Running Time: 108 mins. Language: English, Greek Country: UK, USA The movie was awesome! It made us, Tommy and I, laugh until the last scene. It was about the story of a young lady(Amanda) who was about to get married discovered that she has three possible fathers. She had read her mom's diary (Meryle) secret summer affairs and she secretly invited the three possible men to her wedding (wishing her father might lead her way to the altar). The movie, just like the musical, features the original songs of ABBA. I like personally the songs of Amanda because she can really sing well.

The Dark Knight

Overview: Batman (Christian Bale) has to keep a balance between hero and vigilante to fight a vile criminal known as The Joker (Heath Ledger), who would plunge Gotham City into anarchy. Directed by: Christopher Nolan Starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger Year: 2008 MPAA Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 2:32 Language: English Country: United States I've seen this movie at IMAX Busan with Tommy and I thought that the movie was better than what I expected. The only bad thing was we couldn't see the return of Heath Ledger (Joker) in the next sequel (if there would be...) of the movie. He did a good portrayal of the character and I felt really sorry for what had happened to him after seeing the movie. Perhaps, it could also be one of the reasons why it's marked as the second All-time Box Office in the US, next to Titanic. I expect the next joker would be as good as what had Heath's done.
