you ready? let's start! (ps. i'm not big on the whole blockbuster thing, so don't expect lots of it!)

#10 Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince
directed by David Yates
casts: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Michael Gambon
written by: J. K. Rowling (novel), Steve Kloves (screenplay)

What is it about?
In the 6th installment of mega hit Harry Potter series, Harry found his biggest question mark by exploring through Voldemort's dark past, he was also forced to deal with another great loss, the new found love, and the even more mortifying threats from the Dark Lord.

Comments:
First of all, I have to be blunt here and say that this movie is great because of the visual effect. Period. But as a loyal fan of Harry Potter, I can't deny the fact that I've been waiting for the movie like forever. The point is no matter how bad it can get, I will always be there in the cinema

#9 Public Enemies

Directed by Michael Mann
Casts: Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Channing Tatum
Written By:
Ronan Bennett (Screenplay), Ann Biderman (Screenplay),Michael Mann (Screenplay), Bryan Burrough (Book)

What's it about?
The difficult 1930s is a time of robbers who knock over banks and other rich targets with alarming frequency.

As Purvis struggles with the manhunt's realities, Dillinger himself faces an ominous future with the loss of friends, dwindling options and a changing world of organized crime with no room for him.

Comments:
What I noticed fascinating first at the movie is the score and then I move on with Depp's acting which as usual is a perfecto. But honestly, this one suited really good! Depp known for his bad boy's moves are a picture perfect for the America's most feared enemies (for that time being I guess!)

#8 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Written by Eric Roth


What is it about?

Comments:
This movie is epic for sure! I can't get over the fact that I'm so sucked in to the whole Benjamin thing that I cried my ass off for 2 times. It's so wonderful how the whole casts especially Brad Pitt was able to convince me to feel sorry for Benjamin so much. Brava! That sure nuff said for the whole nomination, huh?

What's it about?
In the future, Jake, a paraplegic war veteran, is brought to another planet, Pandora, which is inhabited by the Na'vi, a humanoid race with their own language and culture. Those from Earth find themselves at odds with each other and the local culture.

I'm totally stunned out with the whole making it happen thing! It was awesome! Definitely! However, one thing that I'm still not impressed at, I feel like at the end, I was starting to lose my self back to the reality again, after being sucked in into this whole dimension.

best tv series of decade

oh,oh,oh we can't get enough of it! so may i present to u my pick for 20 best tv series of the decade (PS. this is the series that I've actually seen myself, lol)

20. The O.C.


One of the best guilty pleasure (sans Gossip Girl), The O.C mixed with drama, violence, teenage issues, love, and sex. We have a couple, we're rooting for (Summer-Seth), we have villain to hate, a beautifully broken Barbie Doll (Mischa Barton's Marissa Cooper), and memorable quotes of "Welcome to the O.C, bitch!"


19. True Blood

The series is raw, horrifying, yet blood-craving. We always want more! The sweetness of Bill, Sookie's Southern charm, and Eric undeniably sexy touch! Yes, we shall not crave our neighbor! Hahaha :p

18. CSI Miami

If you think crime won't happen in sunny state like Florida? You're dead wrong! CSI miami brings us the scandal, the crime, the envy, the lust of high class Miami resident. Of course, the team consisting of the 'always wearing sunglasses' Horatio Caine, perfect Southern barbie Calleigh Duquesne, the Cuban heartbreaker Eric Delko, the quirky yet caring ME Alexx Woods :D

17. One Tree Hill

Gosh! Like Friday Night Lights, One Tree Hill also brings sports-themed, Basketball! Meet the bunch, the basketball superstar, Lucas Scott, his half brother Nathan Scott, Lucas' girlfriend Brooke Davis (the queen of the circle), Brooke's on-off BFF, Peyton Sawyer who is in love w/ Lucas, Nathan's love of life and Lucas' BFF, Hailey James Scott. Yes, welcome to the chain!

16. Fringe

awesome, unbelievable! that's fringe. a story about unusual phenomena investigated by FBI (Olivia Dunham) and mad scientists (Peter and Walter) okayy what do you get? Think about X-Files meet Twilight Zone! Then you get your answer!

15. CSI

Possibly be the most watched TV series in this decade, CSI points out what you can see, not what you think evidence (means hard evidence). Meet the team, the quirky yet genius scientist, Gil Grissom, the headstrong and hard-willed Catherine Willows, the 'loner' Sara Siddle, the problematic yet kind hearted Warick Brown, the lady charmer Nick Stokes, and the rest of them, such as ME, police, lab tech bla bla! Keep asking, Who are you? Just like the show does!

14. the closer

While CSI points out hard evidence, Closer makes the suspect talk to be used in Court Law. How? The master behind it, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, the 'sweetlooking', 'slob looking' yet brilliant criminologist. With her hard tongue Southern accent and usual 'Thank you-s', we're hooked! :)

13. Vampire Diaries

Still struck with Twilight? Then you'll love Vampire Diaries! Get ready to be swoon over by Stefan's sweetness and of course mysteriousness, or maybe you'll be hooked by Damon's mega hotness! AWWW! :) LOVE IT!

12. Glee

It has only been less than one season, but America is hooked w/ Glee! Even I do! I love the singing, the dynamic, the drama, the.. ahhh! Oh and yes, everytime I watch Glee, I swear I'm singing and dancing!

11. CSI:NY

Out of all, CSI saga, this one is my fave! 1st, NY! (i love NY!), 2nd the team is far more intriguingly attractive (LOL), and the crime is far more exciting! There you hv it!

10. 30 rock

30 rock is awesome! PERIOD! (that means done!) Yes between Tracy's tantrum throwing, Liz's feminist act, or Jack's stupidity, 30 rock is indeed the best!

9. House M,D.
How can a person be that genius yet be that evil in the same time? That's just wrong! House is nothing like your dreamy doctor (take hint Grey's) but yes, it has some level of mastermind that creates crazy dynamic. Yes, admit it please, you also love the sarcasm jokes, the sexual tension between House-Cuddy (HUDDY!), and those jerkass act of his!

8. Bones

Bones, another crime solving show! However, unlike other show, Bones shows a comedic side, scientific point, and also dynamic teamwork all at the same time!

7. X-Files

X-Files was actually the first TV series that I really like! You know what because it combines those impossible things that can't be explained yet we're forced to live with, the very dynamic partnership between Scully and Mulder and of course, those little green mens didn't dissapoint either!

6. Lost

Yes, everytime I'm done watching Lost, I'm left mouth opened, brain as scattered as it could possibly be, yes, it's complicated, but that what makes this series oh so interesting! My fave character? Juliet. Why? Okayy, she's this most horrifying protagonist/antagonist, understand? yes me neither!

5. Damages

OMG! I've never seen anything that intimidating and intense as DAMAGES! Better! It was amazing amazing amazing! Can you believe that I watch this series in just like 2 days! I LOVE IT SO MUCH THAT I keep imagining Patty Hewes as my mentor!

4. Gossip Girl

Between the glamorous and ever stylish clothes and those rich brats drama, I'm so hooked with Gossip Girl! Another reason to watch? Blair Waldorf! I mean she's probably one of the best tv characters ever! :) The extra bitchiness yet vulnerable side of Blair leaves me dazzled! And the boy of hers, Chuck! I wish I could date him right here, right now! xoxo, Gossip Girl! :)

3. Grey's Anatomy

Anybody has the slightest idea how many times I've watched 3rd season of Grey's? 10? Nope! More than that, I've watched season 3 for approximately 28 times, and then I lost count! I love love Grey's, I love Meredith Derek, I love the drama and inspirational quotes, I love Addison (she's my fave female character in grey's!), I love Bailey's leadership skill, I love Christina's highly competitive side (remind me a lot of myself), I love Izzie's positive attitude! AWWW! And yes, I love Mcdreamy's hair! and Those "MC" duhhh!

2. Sex and The City

The most stylish show to ever hit earth! Sex and The City affects today fashion! that's a definite statement! 4 single ladies with their own style, their own drama, their own boy, their own Blahniks, and now I'm addicted to it! :) Carrie Bradshaw is the fashion icon of course ;D
PS. Can't wait for SATC 2 (30 May 2010!)

1. Friends

We all know that everybody loves Friends so let's make our series report card:
Best Character: Rachel Green! Yes, the spoiled brat is my favorite! Jennifer Aniston definitely plays Rachel in her best way because she turns this supposedly hated character into lovable one and even makes her win an Emmy, how cool is that?
Best story line: Rachel-Ross 'we were on a break' or maybe Monica-Chandler stupidity?
Best line: Joey, doesn't share food!

What about you? what's your pick for best tv series?

Goodbye Brittany Murphy :(


Clueless star Brittany Murphy has died, E! News has confirmed.

The 32-year-old actress went into full cardiac arrest early Sunday morning following a 911 call from her husband, Simon Monjack, Variety reports. The star was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

A rep for the star's family tells E! News, "In this time of sadness, the family thanks you for your love and support. It is their wish that you respect their privacy."

Murphy starred in such films as 8 Mile, Uptown Girls, Sin City and Don't Say a Word, and voiced the part of Luanne Platter in the Fox animated series, King of the Hill.


(from Eonline!)

I'm still speechless. I mean she's so young! This is absurd. I like her, she's so sweet! :(
All I want to say is..
My thoughts and heart go with the family that grieved and I hope Brittany find a place in that ray of sunshine as she was before! :(

xoxo,
