Iron Man and What Planet Are You From

Here goes again my review of some movies/koreanovela I watched recently

Iron Man

Iron man is cool. First time I see Robert Downey Jr in a superhero kind of movie. The only thing I remembered about him is that he starred in Only You, a romance-comedy movie frequently aired in HBO, which happens to be my HS bestfriend's favorite. She always urges me to watch it, it's about a girl searching for her destiny, a man named Damon Bradley as shown in the game of ouija board. Unfortunately I never got to watch it in totality. Going back to Iron man, Robert plays a a sort of crossover villain-superhero figure, a playboy but still cares for his personal assistant Pepper, makes him running like crazy to save her when he knew she's in the hands of the enemy.

Pepper is cool too! I never did like Gwyneth Paltrow, she gives me a droopy uninteresting impression. I like her role here in Iron Man, I wanna be Pepper. :) Overall, basta ndi ako nakatulog is considered good movie. :p


What Planet Are You From?

Finally a koreanovela that meets my standards again. :)

It's about a director with his pretty and rich gf of which her family is against the relationship. The gf died in a morbid car accident, the guy proposing to her with a ring while driving, then suddenly got hit by a truck. The guy was devastated. 3 years after he went to a province and met a probinsyana girl who looks exactly like her dead gf. They become close and laging nagkukulitan. The probinsyana was soo funny with her braided hair and losyang clothes, like galing sa bundok, so many mischiefs. One day it turned out that this probinsyana is the long lost younger sister of the dead gf. She was claimed back by the rich family. Obviously the conflict revolves around the fact that they can't be together. Good ending, as finally they got the approval of the family.

It was a good laugh trip. The kulitans are just so natural and kilig! :p Chemistry is good. The female lead is ultra pretty and tisay. I've watched the male lead several times (starred in Love Story in Harvard too), and I'm starting to love him hehe. He's just simply an epitome of an ideal boyfriend in this series, sweet and understanding, and giving in to the probinsya's requests).

Hmm not much dragging moments, though I'd say the first half is more fun. I'd give a 4.5 stars (out of 5).

My 4-5 stars list would include:
Winter Sonata - gorgeous male lead. :p Amnesia theme.
Autumn Love Story - morbid love story with female lead dying of cancer. Sort of brother-sister relationship who cant be together.
Stairway to Heaven - fast pacing. couple in childhood who cross paths again. most morbid ending so far of all I've watched.
Princess Hours - laugh trip. poor girl turned princess. funny with her crude manners yet won the heart of the real prince.
Love Story in Harvard - a lawyer and a doctor, striving for success
My Name is Kim Sam Soom - old maid patisserie who fell for her young boss
Lovers in Paris - rich guy falling for his part-time cleaner in Paris
