Warning: Song may get stuck in your head.
What can I say, Madonna’s still got IT. This Benny Benassi-produced track is crazy addicting and the video is just HOT. I might go and pick up the album (MDNA) when it hits local record stores. Anyways, hit play and enjoy!
I am stoked! As you can see, I reserved tickets already for Friday night to watch THE movie event of the year, The Hunger Games. Indeed, the world will be watching. I erased certain parts coz you know, someone might claim it before I do (LOL). I can’t contain the excitement I’m feeling now and I am ecstatic about the 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (15 reviews) which really says a lot. But to anyone who will be able to watch earlier, since the movie will start screening Wednesday night (21st), I can’t tell you how jealous I am. Still, it’s great I was able to get reservations coz they are selling like hotcakes!
If you search my blog, you will know I am a huge fan of the novels having read the first book around August of 2010 and then gobbled the series soon after. When the trailer first came out, I can’t explain it. You know that feeling when a novel you loved is turned into a visual piece and they exceeded what you’ve imagined it would be? That’s exactly how I felt. I wanna see Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Haymitch, Prim, all the tributes, Cinna, Effie in big screen action! I wanna see the Capitol, Districts, the food, muttations, jabberjays, tracker jackers and most of all, the blood! (hehe)
With that I leave you with this countdown – goosebumps!
And the song’s already stuck in my head, very reminiscent of her previous hit Too Little Too Late. I kinda missed her and I always like her songs. Anyways, that was some hiatus, eh? Hope she gets back on track especially with her new album on the way entitled Jumping Trains.
The lyrics helped me appreciate the song more, check it out below:
I’m trying not to pretend that it wont happen again, and again like that
Never thought it would end, cuz you got up in my head, in my head like that
You made me happy baby, love is crazy, so amazing
But it’s changing, rearranging
I don’t think I can take anymore
Cuz the walls burned up and our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we’re saying never
Feel the fire cuz it’s all around and it’s burning
For forever and always
We gotta let it go, be on our way
Live for another day, cuz it ain’t the same, my baby
Watch it all fallin to the ground
No happy ever after, just disaster
I didn’t want it this way, I only wanted to say
I loved you right
But now you walkin away, and leavin me here to stay
So foolish of me to wait for you to realize
All the things I gave you, made you, change you
Your dreams came true
When I met you, now forget you
Don’t want anymore
(Chorus)
You shot the bullet , you shot the bullet that killed me
Not feeling my heart beat, and I was dyin
I I’ve been through it, I I’ve been through the agony
And now my eyes are, dryin, tryin, no more cryin,
Like it’s just a game,
So disaster strikes and I’m all right
Cuz my loves on his way
Yeah
Burning up forever and always (always)
yeah yeah yeaa
(Chorus)
For a moment there I sounded like a guy. But it’s true right? You can never go wrong with kick-ass ladies in high-flying action.
First off, the movie looks goooood. From its cast to each make-believe, fantasy world - its visually stimulating. 
No wonder cause Zack Snyder directed the movie (Watchmen, 300). Emily Browning (Baby Doll) has that right amount of innocent and sexy. Add a couple more chicks (this movie is turning me into a dude) like Abbie Cornish (Sweet Pea), Jena Malone (Rocket), Jamie Chung (Amber) and Vanessa Hudgens (Blondie), this movie has something for everybody.
As for the confusing part, it’s as simple as this: a group of girls trapped in a mental institute escape from reality into a world where they transform their obstacles into giant stone samurais, fire-breathing dragons and an army of robots. Ultimately, they join forces to achieve their common goal: freedom. You just have to remember that most of the time they’re imagining a world within a world (think Inception).
I enjoyed all the action sequences, they’re awesome!!! In some parts, they seem unrealistic but its a product of the girls’ imagination so what the heck! The soundtrack also pumped up every scene and I love the little quotes here and there. At first, I didn’t get why it’s called Sucker Punch. Based on definition it means: “an unsuspected punch or blow”. I guess because the central character, Baby Doll, is like that. You see her as this fragile little girl but when she unleashes herself, she can put a bullet into your head or slit your throat.
The new and improved (?) American Idol is halfway through the competition this year and its doing great, Simon Cowell is busy bringing X-Factor to the US (Antonio “L.A.” Reid already signed up to be one of the judges) and now another singing competition? So why watch ‘The Voice’, huh? Upon hearing the mechanics of the show maybe, just maybe, you’ll think twice.
The new NBC show hired 4 judges to coach the hopefuls: Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green, Blake Shelton and will be hosted by Carson Daly. This is an interesting batch of people I have to admit (not only because of Xtina). These mentors will judge the contestants based only on their voice, literally, since their backs will be turned on the contestants therefore giving them a more “objective” approach in determining who gets in. “It’s not about breaking these people down but more about building them up”, Christina said in an interview. In order to get the contestant on his/her team, they will have to hit the “red button” first. After that the judges will mentor these contestants in their performances which will then be judged by America.
Sounds like a good idea, right? Still, I don’t know if the show will keep me glued to my screen. I might check out it’s premiere to see how it plays out. But until then, I can’t decide. How ’bout you? What do you think?
