Sword Art Online ( 2012 Anime )

Dear Entertainment Diary,

So, this is the continuation of my previous post about Accel World where I mentioned there were 2 animes that I just recently watched. This was supposed to be included in that post but I decided to separate this in a new post, and here it is.

OK. So Sword Art Online aka SAO, is probably can be considered as one of the most genius animes the world has ever seen. This is my opinion, tho.

Why? Because I just love the part where Virtual world and the real world became one unlike in Accel World where there are only some parts that they can adjust their own movements in the real world while beinig accelerated, but in this anime, Lives are at stake and many of them, I'm talking about almost half of 10,000 SAO players, died! Cruel, isn't it?

It's just genius! The anime series contains 2 arcs from the virtual novel, The Sword Art Online Arc and Alfheim Online Arc.

The first half of the series centers around the game Sword Art Online, a VRMMORPG that can be played using a Nerve Gear. During the first time the 10,000 SAO players logged in, they were sent in the game but cannot log out when they wanted to. They were then given a task by the creator of the game, Akihiko Kayaba, to reach all the 100 floors of the floating castle by  defeating the virtual monsters and each boss on each level. But there is a catch, you must not die in the game or else, you will also die in the real world.

The first part centers around Kirito (Kirigaya Kazuto), him being a Beater (a beta tester - cheater), on how he leveled up, attempt to save his friends in the game but drastically failed, meeting his one and only true love, Asuna (Yuuki Asuna), and on how he will defeat the game.

The second half of the series revolves around the new game, Alfheim Online, which is connected in the previous game. The story now includes his sister, and on how both of them, along with the other players defeat the game. (I wanna mention more plots about this anime as I can still remember the whole story because I just finished watching it yesterday but I don't wanna spoil the surprises.)

All I can say is that the story revolving the whole series is just so good including the twists. The action and the awesomeness of the characters are quite good, the bad guys are very convincing, but what I don't like about the second part is that the lightning fast Asuna's fighting skills were taken out and became a princess waiting to be rescued up above. I mean, her awesomeness in fighting is one of the best parts in the series but in the end, she was just some, I don't know, a bird without wings inside a cage, I guess?

Anyways, the whole series is just so good to watch and you can even feel the feelings of each characters while watching it! And 'm talking about Sachi, as her part is one of the most emotional i the series. I love how realistic the story when it was all about having friends and romantic relationships in online games!

This is unlike Accel World which is all about robotic types of avatars. The first part uses their own image in the game while in the second part, their avatars were in fairy forms. It falls in 8 out of 10 scale for me. :)

The only part that I didn't like was the part where the camera focuses on the female characters' bo*bies and such parts. It's not that pervy but it's not that needed as well in the anime.

Accel World (2012 Anime)

Image courtesy of www.hdwpapers.com

Dear Entertainment Diary,

So yeah, I'm here again, fortunately. This post is about the two Animes I just previously watched this past days, it was actually just last week, but I think I'll separate the two.

Anyways, the first one that I watched was Accel World.

Accel World.

This actually intrigued me as to why so many Otakus love them. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of animes with large robots like Gundam and stuff. Cyberpunk type of animes, that is. I'm not into robots, although during my childhood days, I have watched Voltes 5, and that certain anime that I cant remember the title.

So, Accel World is one of the animes that caught my attention because this is the first time I have watched an anime that the main character is not that good looking. That actually shocked me. Yeah, there are so many animes that the main protags are jerks, or losers, but they were either tall, good-looking, slim, handsome, strong, and all but this was first to me. The story revolves around Haruyuki Arita, a small, roundly fat boy who is always being bullied by his classmates or schoolmates. Weird right? Mostly, those descriptions always end up being on the minor characters like the best buds of the protagonists.

He has 2 bestfriends, actually, hot bestfriends, the hot and very lovingly caring Chiyuri Kurashima and her boyfriend, Takumu Mayuzumi, who is very hot as well, and intelligent. So, in this anime, it also involves a female protag who is probably the prettiest in the series and who also happens to be in love with our hero, Kuroyukihime (Black Snow Princess).

To sum everything all up, this anime is about Accel World (Acclerated World), which is also in the same world as where we were standing/living but being controlled by a game program entitled, Brain Burst.

By using Brain Burst, your body will be accelerated in which you can go around freely using your avatar and the whole normal world becomes slower. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think 1 second in the real world = 17 minutes in Accel World? 

The main objective of the game is to reach level ten by defeating the Six Kings of Pure colors, though I'm not so sure if Black is still included. And when you reach level 10, you can meet the creator of Bran Burst and know his purpose as to why he created a very awesomely addicting but also harsh kind of game. You can level upto level 9 by collecting Burst Points if you can defeat other players in Accel World and sometimes, haunt some monsters which gives you small amount of points.

For me, this anime is very addictive to watch as I wanna know what will happen next. The action scenes were great, as well. It hooks me up as I only finished watching it in two days.Well, it's just 24 episodes + 1 ova. And  haven't watched the other OVA yet.

If you're into action type anime, then Accel World is kind of perfect for you to watch. t's just that I kind of hated some characters for being so bad, nosy, and especially the Haru-kun for being such a loser! But I think that's what the creators want us to feel. The main antag in the series actually pisses me off, meaning he's being great on being such an evil person.

This is not just about action. Friendship, Love/Romance, and Slice of Life are also included in the series. For me it's good and may landed a 7 out of 10.  hope there's gonna be a second season.

Dame, I promise myself to lmit my post but I just can't help it. Another lengthy post. :(

Would You Rather (2012 Film)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

I really liked, not that loved, Brittany Snow ever since I saw her on John Tucker Must Die, which is the first of her films that I have seen. I'm not that much of a fan but I saw Prom Night, The Pacifier, Pitch Perfect, and the most recent, Would You Rather.

OK. So I loved this film. I don't know if it is considered as a horror film but I really loved it! The acting and the plot are superb. The actors, the twists, and most of all, I loved how it is not based from a book/novel, nor a remake, but is based from a Party Game!

I've seen films that contain crueler or many torture/pain but this stand out, for me, although it is not that gory as the Saw Series or many other torture porn scattered in the movie industry.

I love how Brittany acted as a very lovely, simple girl that will do anything for her brother. The plot revolves around her, on how low can she be when it comes to saving her brother.

The game is very simple; the host will give the players 2 options per level and as the level goes up, and the players are still playing or not yet eliminated, the options get harder and harder. The rules are simple but the things they must accomplish aren't. There also comes to a point where they need to choose who to suffer, themselves or others.

I've watched films with the same genre; survival/death game, but as I said, this one stood out because of the twists and turns and stuff. Because it also contains a story. A dramatic plot. Suspense. Thrills.

It's very worth watching. 

Some questions were on my mind as I began watching the film. Will his brother survive in the end and how low can she go? Will she be able to commit crimes against her will or will she do it just to get what she thinks that will give her brother a chance to live longer? Will she find true love?

And I'm very satisfied with the answers given at the end of the film. I was actually shocked cus I did not expect such scenes, so, GOO JOB!

I encourage you all to watch the film and be amazed, thrilled, and be filled with tension and suspense because this is not the kind of torture film that we are watching nowadays, but a very silent and dark flm with superb acting, good plot, shocking scenes, annoying characters, and bittersweet ending.

Pitch Perfect ( 2012 Film)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

Long time, no post. Sorry for that as I was busy this past month and didn't get to update entertainment stuff like Demi's Heart Attack video, Selenas's Come and Get It video, and many more that I have watched or seen. I've seen a lot of films lately but I didn't have internet connection and I was busy serving and entertaining my relatives who just came back from other country. I was also busy going back and forth to Manila and I wish I'll never do it again. UGHHHHH.

Moving On, Pitch Perfect is only one of the movies that I have watched and I should not let this movie slip here in my blog as this is the most laughing stock/funniest film I have watched in AGES.

I've known about the film since last year when I saw it in the top 100 Best films on Itunes. I was actually going to download it that day but I downloaded another horror film, which I haven't yet watched. And this March, I was gong to download it again but my brother told me that he already has a copy given by our cousin who also loved the film that much. I mean, who wouldn't? It's musical/comedy. We dig these kind of stuff.

Pitch Perfect is just funny as hell kind of movie that even the corniest jokes in the film can make the viewers laugh (which means it's not corny anymore). What makes me love the film more is that it contains music and features song that I also love. The actors are all good especially Rebel Wilson who is one of the play makers in the films. The song choices, how they mashed it all up and made it their own were just superb and fantastically stunning. 

The plot revolves around Beca, a newly arrived freshman at Barden University, on how she managed to cope up with the Pitches (B*tches) when all she really wanted (at first) is to be a DJ and create her own sounds and pursue her own music career. The movie also tells the story of an all female A Capella group called The Barden Bellas on how they sing their hearts out and not let their fears, tensions, and having sex with their male rivals take over.

I've got to tell you, this film is worth watching. 

As of now, I really can't wait for the sequel. I actually did not recognize Brittany Snow here, as well as I didn't expect that she has a voice! :)

Cast (Source: wikipedia.org)

Anna Kendrick as Beca Mitchell, a reclusive and rebellious girl who wants to pursue a music career; she joins the Barden Bellas to appease her father and finds herself being caught up in their world.

Skylar Astin as Jesse Swanson, a member of the Treblemakers who has crush on Beca

Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy, (born Fat Patricia) a comedic and eccentric member of the Bellas from Tasmania.

Ester Dean as Cynthia-Rose Adams, a lesbian member of the Bellas.

Alexis Knapp as Stacie Conrad, a highly sexually-driven member of the Bellas.

Hana Mae Lee as Lilly Onakuramara, a strange member of the Bellas who speaks too quietly to be heard but is later revealed to be a talented beatboxer.

Adam DeVine as Bumper Allen, the egotistical leader of the Treblemakers.

Utkarsh Ambudkar as Donald, Bumper's right-hand man, who beatboxes, raps, and is a main vocalist.

Freddie Stroma as Luke, the radio station manager who plays Beca's DJ mixes on the air.

Grave Encounters 2 (2012 Film)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

OK. So the other day, we watched this movie I downloaded months ago, Grave Encounters 2, which is obviously the sequel to the 2011 horror film, Grave Encounters.

I actually and unbelievably liked the first film which we watched a couple of years ago via web and damn, I was actually got scared and many scenes startled me. After watching it, I actually thought that it was based from a true story because it was so realistically made and there are no unbelievable scenes. I think most of the scenes from the first film are true as I thought they can really happen but to my dismay, Grave Encounters 2 made me feel the opposite. 

The first 20-40 minutes of the film is so boring and the supernatural scenes, although almost perfectly made, are very unbelievable and unrealistic which made me hate the film. It didn't have the idea which can be found in its predecessor.

I just wish they stick the blueprints they used in the first film. Oh, and some acting are actually bad, actually.

PLOT:

Alex Wright is a film student who got obsessed to the film, Grave Encounters. He believes that the film is actually true and search for clues and evidences to prove it. He then interviewed the producer of the first film, who didn't know that he was being recorded by Alex, and admits that the whole crew that appeared in the first film gone missing and never returned. Because of this,  he wanted to make a film about it, which he wanted to serve as a sequel. What they thought would be as easy as pie investigation actually turned worst as they were killed one by one and manipulated by the ghosts inside the hospital for the sake of finishing the film. #DeathAwaits

Cast: (source: Wikipedia)

Richard Harmon as Alex Wright, a university student and filmmaker who becomes obsessed with the previous film.

Leanne Lapp as Jennifer Parker, a fellow student who is in love with Alex.

Sean Rogerson as Lance Preston, having survived, he has gone insane after being trapped in the hospital for nine years.

Dylan Playfair as Trevor Thompson, Alex's best friend and cameraman.

Stephanie Bennett as Tessa Hamill, Jennifer's friend.

Howie Lai as Jared Lee, Alex's second cameraman.

Sean Tyson as the guard stationed at the hospital.

Ben Wilkinson as Jerry Hartfield.

Arthur Corber as Dr. Friedkin.

Brenda McDonald as Mrs. Rogerson.

Collin Minihan & Stuart Ortiz as The Vicious Brothers.

There are many unrealistic scenes in this film including the part where they are being chased by a giant ghost, the part where they are n the elevator of the hotel then suddenly got back in the hospital when the elevator door opened. The part where there is a black hole kind of thingy sucking them up The part where a person lived for 10 years just by eating rats and his body is still physically fit. And the list still goes on. Watch it if you want but I wished I passed.

UPDATED: Amnesia (2013 Completed Anime)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

I was so happy yesterday that I finally acquired another achievement technologically. Well, it's just that after a year or so of trying to stream using my phone (still have em ole Nokia E71), I finally, thank Heavens, did it  and now, aside from YouTube, I can technically stream anything I want (I hope so), as long as I have the download link of the said video. And guess what video I streamed yesterday? Yep. It's this Anime, Amnesia.

You probably know what Amnesia means, don't you? It's a condition where someone forgets everything about him/her or sometimes, some small parts of his/her life. There is also a tendency where he/she only forgets about a person, especially the one that's very important to him/her.

And, this anime, as the title suggests, is about a girl who just woke up on August 1 and can't remember anything that had happened in her life before that day. Names, Places, her job, families, everything. Every memory from her past is just wasted and erased.

When I streamed episode one on my phone, I actually liked it's mysteriousness. The way how the writers don't actually slip any single detail that will ruin the surprises they serve for us in the end of the series. The way how they keep the anime's atmosphere and let us feel that we were actually there to witness every single scene; romantic, funny, sad, irritating scenes, name it. The way how they let us decide on how we view every character; whether to hate or love them. The way how we say "What the hell?" while watching the  anime because we can't understand what's currently going on. And I love "these ways".

For me, episode 4 is where the series truly began. It is where the wonderful shiny light has brilliantly shine o my face and makes me realize and somehow partly understand what's really happening in the story. It is where I finally caught the some twists and loops. In short, it is where I started to love this anime MORE.

So far, I have only watched 5 episodes for I stated in its title, it's currently on-going which started broadcasting on January 7, 2013 in Japan and is set to end with 13 episodes.

This anime is very secretive. It is adapted from a visual novel playable on PSP. Remember the one of the best visual novel To The Moon?

"In Amnesia, the male characters that the female player character can interact with are based on the symbolic suit symbols from a playing card deck with the following story lines (commonly known as 'routes') in the game: Heart, Spade, Diamond, Club and Joker. Depending on which route is chosen, the player's relationship with each character is different." 

--  Gameplay From wiki.

Characters:

These characters are drawn beautifully! Very artistic. (As usual for the animes). Yeah. Like the usual anime outfits and costumes, it's very weird how they are dressed but what I love the most are their eyes; The shades of the color.

Heroine - Yes.In the visual novel, she is called the heroine. In the anime, she doesn't have a name yet. She is the girl who lost her memories after waking up on August 1 and is now worrying about on what's happening in her life. For me, she is a lucky lucky, very LUCKY girl for she has so many boyfriend---- I might as well not tell. HAHA! :) 

She has been seeing flashbacks or hints about her past and she's not quite sure if it's reality or not.

Shin (Heart) - Ah... Shin. He is probably the front runner on who I want the heroine to be with in the end. He is kind of a bad boy and from how much I have seen him  in the anime, he, Toma, and the heroine are childhood friends; they grew up together. In a flashback, we saw that he confessed to the heroine that he killed a guy but in episode 4, the flashback/memory was wrong when he finally told the heroine that his father was the one who killed a drunken man which mad his world upside down but Heroine and Toma didn't leave him on his own and still become his friends. He is the first shown boyfriend of Heroine and known as always stressing and wants things to happen very quickly.

Ikki (Spade) - (Icky is what I like to call him). He is the 2nd boyfriend that was introduced in the anime. He is very popular with the girls and has his own fan club. In the beginning of the series, I think that it's because of him why Heroine was kind of verbally attacked or sort of like that by the girls who have a crush on him. He only likes Heroine because she easily did not fall for him just like the other girls do. In the series, it is stated that he is best friends with Kent and he is very good in playing sports that use hands, which I think almost all of the sports available on earth. I hate him for what he said in one episode where he'll fulfill one of Heroine's wishes because he was late. He said, he prefers sexual wishes. It is also stated that he always breaks up with his girlfriends after 3 months of dating and currently unknown what the reasons are.

UPDATED: (March 5, '13)

We saw why Ikky is so popular among girls. It is because when he was young, he wished on a wishing star to be popular among girls and it came true. We now know why Ikky breaks up with her relationships every 3 months. WHY? Blame her fan club! The girls want to share him all the time so the girls all agreed to date him one by one but with conditions. The girl who is currently dating Ikky should always update what's happening everyday. (Remember the anonymous text messaged being received by Heroine every night during the time when she was dating him? Yep. That's the reason why.) And because of his girlfriends always break up with him after 3 months, he thought he could never find true love/fall in love so he decided to make her relationships only last for 3 months and date different girls only for FUN! But his view about love changed when he met Heroine and this time, he really fell in love with her. The thing is, the girls in the fan club didn't know that Heroine doesn't remember anything so they thought she broke her promise of not updating them about Ikky and taking him only for herself.  He got out of Ikky's route, this time, when the 3 b*tches bullied her and pushed her in the boat.

NOTE:

I know that he was JOKING/TESTING/KIDDING/WHATEVERING when he said about the sexual wishes thingy. But here's the thing FOR ME, I think it's rude for a guy to ask/tell her about the things like that. Serious or not, it's rude for a guy to ask a girl those kind of things. Well that's according to my point of view. It's just to clarify anything. And because of that sexual thingy is also because why I don't like him to be heroine's partner. :) We have our own opinions and I fully respect yours. Feel free to comment down here if you are against or somethng to say about this post. 

Kent (Club) - The only things I know about him is that he is best friend with Ikki and that he is a very intelligent person. His nickname is Ikkyu and he likes doing math puzzles. 

UPDATE: (March 5, '13)

Kent only dated our Heroine for only an episode and a lot of fans wished that it should be extended because it's kind of unfair! Yes, I think kit is but it's okay for me because Toma came in earlier than I expected. :)

Kent actually isn't the type of gentleman some girls could wish for but he is very sincerely in love with Heroine and do his best just to make her happy including approving to go to the festival with her even though he has no interest of doing so. As I remember, he works in the university and because Heroine wished to spend more time with him, he invited her and spent some quality time without talking! HAHA. Boring but fun. Huh?

He actually interacted with Orion when Heroine and Orion confessed everything about her loosing her identity and stuff and I think he fully believed in her. He communicated with Orion through Heroine and he really wanted to help her. Heroine got out of his route when they were walking and someone bumped our heroine. (I think she really is clumsy especially in this episode!)

Feel free to correct me if there are some wrong infos please.

Toma (Diamond) - He is my 2nd most fave guy in the series. Very alive,cheerful and funny. He is bestfriend with Heroine and Shin and he treats Shin as his brother.

UPDATE:  (March 5, '13)

He was the one who saved Heroine when someone bumped her and nearly fell by grabbing her hand. He is overprotective of heroine and even bought her a new phone when he knew that someone is tormenting her. We also saw in that he is taking the trashes being left in Heroine's mailbox but apparently, Heroine discovered and cleaned it up one rainy morning when she checked it up herself. As of now, he asked Heroine to live with her in the apartment especially when someone tried to knock her down with a flower vase and I think it's obvious that the girls in the fan club did it (or so I think?).

UPDATE: (MARCH 20, '13)

So, after watching episode 9, we knew that Toma is kind of very protective towards Heroine that also came to the point when he caged Heroine so she won't go out and disobey him again. For me, he kind of became a psycho because of his feelings towards Heroine. W also knew that there is a diary in Heroine's apartment 

which revealed that she has feelings for Toma since they were just little kids but both of them didn't realize that they have common love/feelings for each other until when they read the diary. And remember when Toma got so jealous of Ikki whenever he and Heroine met at the alley? It is because of Heroine is confessing her love for Toma with Ikki and then Ikki was telling her what she must do, which is go and confess her feelings for Toma. In the end, they became a couple but an accident happened and Herone ended up staying in the hospital where Ukyo carried her and threw her from the roof!

Mine - She is one of the coworkers of our Heroine. It is revealed that she has a crush on Ikki when she asked Heroine if she can date him after her.

Orion - He is a spirit who helps Heroine to remember everything about her. He said that he is the reason of her amnesia when he bumped into her spirit. Only Heroine can hear and see her and whenever Heroine sees a flashback, he can see it too.

UPDATE: (MARCH 20, '13)

In the last episode, it is said that his master, Neil, was the one who kept on sending Heroine from time to time because he wanted to know more about humans but Ukyo's wish is just so hard so his power got drained out. Neil got his power back when Heroine fulfill Ukyo's wish. 

Orion then brought Heroine to their world and explained everything that happened. He said that when Heroine got her memories back, she won't remember anything that happened including things about Orion.

I actually felt sad when the montages of Orion and Heroine were shown. 

Ukyo (Joker) - He is a photographer with a split personality. 

UPDATE: (MARCH 20, '13)

So this is the weird guy who just keeps on bumping/meeting up with Heroine in every route, and he is the last boyfriend in Heroine's life. I hope so, she s just so lucky having those boys all around her. 

Ukyo was shown to have a split personality! A dark personality who wants to kill and end heroine's life for him to be alive and the light, cheerful, and caring one who wants to save Heroine from the world who wants to erase her. As of now, his real personality is still unknown and some questions are yet to be answered in the last episode. So far, we know that he s like Heroine where he already faced different deaths! It is shown that he also fell in the well which he kept on mumbling about. As of August 25th, on episode 11, h said that after he hang up on his cal to Heroine that she must not trust him anymore, but Heroine being so gullible and soft, she still cares for Ukyo and went to the University where she was chased by the Dark Ukyo and I think this is where the accident happened.

I just hope every question in our mind will be answered and we would be all satisfied as we fans waited patently every episode!!! 

UPDATE: (APRIL 3, '13)

So I just watched the last episode of this anime this morning although I already have a copy of it since last week. I'm just not ready to watch and let go of it until this morning.

So the last episode tackled about Ukyo and he explained why he desperately want to kill our unnamed Heroine. Both of them, well, let's count out Orion here, run as Ukyo chased Heroine but every door is lock so Heroine can't escape as the fire is eating the whole place up. Ukyo then got a grip of her and wanted to stab Heroine using his knife. There are a lot of times he tried to kill her but the good persona of Ukyo keep on coming back and letting Heron to run but the bad persona of Ukyo kept on appearing as well. 

He explained the reason why he wanted to kill her. Because both of them can't live in the same world, in a world where both of them exist so one of them must die. Ukyo confessed that he is the reason why Heroine is being sent out n different loop. He said that he already killed Heroine many times but Ukyo's good persona is too good and can't bear n his heart what he has done so he wished to Neil-sama (Orion's master and I think he is the top of all the fairies) to send him in the world where Heroine is alive but both of them are being killed and unless Ukyo's wish comes true, their time looping won't stop. Ukyo's bad persona existed because of the bad experiences (especially the killings) he felt.

As the bad Ukyo was ready to stab Heroine, good Ukyo just controlled his hand and stab it directly to his own heart. He explained some things, died for a moment, then comes alive.

OK. I know this last update is so confusing but I as well is still confused! HAHAHA! I understand what happened but I just can't explain it clearly! HAHA.

For me, he is the one who truly loves Heroine who also sacrificed his own life just to save him.

Waka - The manager at the cafe where Heroine is working. In every route Heroine lives on, his characteristic also changes.

Dora Explorer and the Destiny Medallion: The Movie (CollegeHumor)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

So my brother and I just watched the 2 parts of the 3-part-miniseries by College Humor, "Dora The Explorer and the Destiny Medallion".

I got hooked up with this Dora videos when I saw the Dora The Explorer trailer also made by College Humor and I said to myself that I would love to see it as it is very wittingly funny.

So as I was browsing in YouTube, I saw that College Humor already uploaded the first part but I also found out that they released it on their website last week and now it has its 2nd part, and next week, the last part will be released, so Let's do this!

I am very excited to finish it now! HAHA.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Trailer that started it all (for me):

I've got to say that they all did a great job, especially Ariel Winter for portraying Dora and some environments of the cartoon and made it somehow realistically funny. SOMEHOW.

All the media on this page were from CollegeHumor.com. I don't own anything although I wish that I become a part of this in the future. HAHA!

22 Music Video by Taylor Swift

"Who's Taylor Swift anyway? Ew" - LOL

Dear Entertainment Diary,

After watching the music video of Taylor's song "I Knew You Were Trouble.", I have read in Taylor's wiki page that her next single would be 22 and it would be released on February something. But the date of released changed to March 13,2013 the next time I visited the page so I think it sucks because I have to wait another month before I could see her new vid. But I realized that Tay-Tay is a very busy woman, has hectic scheds and doing some writing new songs either about her ex, her present bf, or friends so I waited patiently for this day to see the new video and guess what? It was just released 3 hours ago! Whoopie!

So this is her 4th single from her latest album, Red, and this is one of the best songs in it!Vert upbeat and overly energetic because of its beat, and could also be a party anthem, especially when you are having a slumber party with your friends!

You know what? For me, this is my most favorite Taylor Swift video to date! So, move over Love Story and You Belong with Me! I have a new fave now!

What I like about this video is clearly, for me, it is a far step up from her previous music video, I Knew You Were Trouble, as it is very dark, and I hate small screens when it comes to music videos. Although both videos were directed by the same director, 22 elevated in my likeness as it contains many fun scenes and we could see Taylor doing her fun stuff, naturally! There are so many scenes here that are must like and must see, especially when the camera focused on Tay-Tay and were played in slow-mo, she's just GORGE! This video made me like her more than ever! I Knew You Were Trouble has a great music video, as well, but it delivered and showed us dark side and a new punk Taylor, but here in 22, we could see that she is really in her natural self, having fun with her friends in the beach, partying in the pool side and a club/mansion, dressing up, and forgetting deadlines, problems, and most of all, her exes, and these were shown in instagram styles! Oh, and Tay-Tay surprised us in the end with her "Free-Fall" hahahaha! Love it!

Visit this for Red's Hidden Messages to know who were the inspiration for this song.

Enjoy the video, guys!

The ABCs of Death (2013 Film)

Dear Entertainment Diary,

I may probably haven't said nor talked about it here but truth be told, I'm a really sucker when it comes to horror anthology. Especially if it's an Asian horror anthology film, name it and I will def watch it. It all began in Thailand's 4Phia (Phobia) and 5Prang (Phobia 2) and I just become so addictive to it. I watch Three... Extremes and I loved it as well. I haven't watched Three. I have Rampo Noir on my cellphone since July last year and I haven't watched it yet.

So when I heard/read about The ABCs of Death, I just can't wait to watch it. I even put it in this blog's corner, Upcoming/Released Films list in which I really wanted to see, and finally, yesterday night, I saw it with my brother and aunt!

I was actually psyched up when I knew about this film. Knowing that it contains 26 shorts done by 26 or more directors (because some segments were done by two), the idea just shot me in the head and brought me to heaven! So far, I have only watched anthologies with  approx 5 segments/stories and those were 5Prang and Cinco. In short, this is the first time I heard about the idea of putting 26 stories in 1 film. I found it weird and impossible but they did it!

The ABCs of Death Trailer

And now, let me get to the point. I was actually disappointed in this film. Why? Maybe I expected too much but it didn't satisfy on what I was asking/expecting for. Yes, it's true that there are shorts in here that are worth watching, some even horrified me, some are very enjoyable, but mostly sere plain stupid and stuff. Some contain very stupid humor and tasteless horror inartistic stories. And also, I hope that the creators gave a theme, one theme, to tie all the 26 shorts up. That would be great, right?

The ABCs of Death is a film about 26 shorts, each title begins with the letter of the alphabet, from A-Z, duh. The stories were rated from very well done to plain "I did this movie because I was bored and nothing to do." The 26 stories are all about 26 ways to die. Meaning, if you wanna die, learn from these.

Without further ado, here are the 26 short stories: (the images contains nudity/graphic violence. 18+)

A is for Apocalypse - Director: Nacho Vigalondo. This is the first segment who welcomed the viewers with goriness. It's about a couple who are facing the end of the world together. SIGH, everlasting love. Or is it? In this segment, the girl tried to kill her husband by poisoning him for many months, killing him  with the use of a knife, boiling water, and stroking him with the pan she used for boiling the water. And guess what? The guy still breathes after all that! All I know is that they died together in the end. Well, I'm not sure because it wasn't shown. I've got to say, I like this segment. 

B is for Bigfoot - Director: Adrian Garcia Bogliano. The first segment that contained nudity. It's about a kinky couple who scared the guy's little girl cousin so she can go to bed and they can sex it up in the window! Gosh, really? A made up story became real. Whoopie.

C is for Cycle - Director: Ernesto Diaz Espinoza. A senseless crap about an event occurring to a guy's life on repeat. I guess, he is just stuck in that same senseless happening. I wonder where his wife went?

D is for Dogfight - Director: Marcel Sarmiento. A segment about a man fighting a dog. Yep. I guess it's entertaining even when it was played in slow mo and no dialog even. I just hope it the story was explained if the guy really was the lost dog for he was wearing a dog tag with the lost dog's name.

E is for Exterminate - Director: Angela Bettis. Don't underestimate the bugs cause they can lay their eggs inside your body. 

F is for Fart - Director: Noburo Iguchi. One of the most silliest segments. I may not know if someone can really die becasue of farts but this short is really silly in all levels. I know it has comedy genre written all over it but... Ugh... I don't know. It just failed to amuse me especially the part where the 2 girls lick each other's tongue and farted. I actually didn't know the  protagonist was dreaming?

G is for Gravity - Director: Andrew Traucki. HAHA. This actually scared the hell out of me! No, I was kidding. Why didn't they just put a man stating a fact that a person can drown in the sea/beach instead of wasting money on this man with a camera in his head, surfing, and was never even seen? Brutally senseless.

H is for Hydro-Electric Diffusion. Director: Thomas Cappelen Malling. About a pilot dog watching a lady dog dancing in front of him. This is actually weird in all levels. Yeah, amusing, but, c'mon. I hope that they explained the reason why that machine and the lady dog  kill their customers without even paying the bill. 

I is for Ingrown - Director: Jorge Michel Grau. I know that this short has subtitle but I didn't really understand the whole point. All I know is that the guy injected something in the girl, tied up in the bath tub, that made her itch, bleed, and vomit until she died. 

J is for Jidal-geki - Director: Yudai Yamaguchi.Another senseless crap from Japan. I am a fan of Japanese horrors but really, now I'm doubting. About samurai and some Japanese guy being decapitated.

K is for Klutz - Director: Anders Morgenthaler. An animated short about an alive shit from a girl inside the toilet. The drawing is cute. Funny, but the idea of getting killed by your own shit by getting inside your body through your anus is ridiculous.Well, a shit being alive is ridiculous, but I like this thaaaang!

L s for Libido - Director: Timo Tjahjanto. About a jack off contest. I don't know if this is from japan or Thailand, but this is kind of disturbing and cruelly over the top. Poor guys.

M is for Miscarriage - Director: Ti West. Read the title and watch this short and you will say huh? I thought Miscarriage is an accident? But here, I think the girl s happy it happened and I think she did it on purpose. Poor baby. I just didn't like the story and it's just plainly short. All  saw is a girl looking for a plunger and then the camera focused on the toilet.

N is for Nuptials - Director: Banjong Pisanthanakun. I've got to praise Thailand for this! This s a story about a proposal gone wrong because of a very talkative parrot who said exactly all what it heard! And by exactly, I mean accurate.

O is for Orgasm - Director: Bruno Forzani. I'm impressed with the effects, bubbles, and stuff but am I watching porn or what? 

P is for Pressure - Director: Simon Rumley. Ok, the theme is great. About a mother wanted to give her daughter a bike for her birthday even if it means selling her own body and killing kittens!!! I mean, why those poor little kittens must suffer? I like this story for being realistic but the fact that one must kill an animal for money is just plain wrong. 

Q is for Quack - Director: Adam Wingard. Now this is kind of cute. About two guys making a short film about killing a duck (quail?) to be submitted for The ABCs of Death and t turns out that they submitted their own death. And your guess is right, the duck LIVES!

R is for Removed - Director: Srdjan Spasojevic. This has got to be one of the yuckiest short in the film but one of the greatest as well. I actually didn't get the story quite well but I just love how psychologically challenging this story is. It's not like most of the shorts here where the theme/ideas are very obviously seen.

S is for Speed - Director: Jake West. Well, kinda like it as well but I didn't actually focused too. Actually, starting from here, I got bored of watching. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I was the only one left watching. My aunt and brother left me. LOL. I just didn't like how the actors acted here

T is for Toilet - Director: Lee Hardcastle. Well, a stop animation using clay that contains toilet humor. Literally. It's about a young boy who is very afraid on using the toilet on his own and getting killed by the toilet he is afraid of. I think this is cute, as well. Worth watching.

U is for Unearthed - Director: Ben Wheatley. A found footage kind of theme involving a zombie or a vampire? I don't know. I just know my head hurts for it's shakiness shot in the monster's point of view.

V is for Vagitus - Director: Kaare Andrews. A sci-fi short about a cry of the new born. It's actually pretty interesting but I was lost during the middle. It also contains some failed corny humors but as I said, interesting.

W is for WTF?! - Director: Jon Schnepp. Just watch it and you'll know why WTF?! (What the Fuck?!) was the title of this short. I like to ask, WHY THE FUCK?!

X is for XXL - Director: Xavier Gens. One of the stand outs in the film and probably has the most sensible, touching, and meaningful theme. It's about a fat lady getting bullied by the people who see her so when she got home, she decided to skin herself off and remove the fats in her body. In the end, she's kind of thin, full of blood, and is gonna die. To all those who can't see your inner beauty, just be yourself and look deeper.

Y is for Youngbuck - Director: Jason Eisener. About a crazy pedophile janitor. Yeah, disturbing as it is, I think this still has a great story behind it especially the time when he got what he deserves!

Z is for Zetsumetsu - Director: Yoshihiro Nishimura. OK. Skip this one up. All I know is that this is plainly stupid, no story, no humor, no nothing. I dont even know if Japanese were angry to the Americans? 

To sum it all up, out of 26 short stories, there were only few who really stood out. C is for Cycle probably gain some sense if it got more time cause the idea is there, no questions. It just that it lacks some explanation and some more scenes being recycled.

R is for removed could have been my typical type of movie if only some producers would pick it up and turn it into a real full length film! N is for Nuptials is just awesome when it comes to perfectly showing and giving us complete details about the story as well as A is for Apocalypse.

Although we don't have the same point of view on how we see and view things and how we like, watch this film with your own risk and tell me if it wasted your time. Well, I'm not mad but I'm still thankful I watched this film for it contains some good shorts and I just hope some would pick the great shorts up and make it full length films!
