CDF: Vampire Assistant Movie Review

I've always been a fan of dracula and vampire books like Stoker's, Rice's, Harris', Shan's and so on. I must say that Anne Rice was my favorite as she produced a very convincing and near-to-real myths about these interesting bloodsucking creatures.

Last night, my good friend Roch and I watched Cirque du Freak Vampire Assistant at the big screen. This film is an adaptation of Darren O'Shaughnessy's vampire book series. A total of 12 books have been published by this great author and Vampire Assistant was the second of those. Anyhoo, the story was like a fantasy-adventure of a teenager who later on well, became a bloodthirsty vampire who stays with numerous cool freaks you couldn't even imagine.

Honestly, I was really excited as hell when I found out that Shan's books will be adapted for films. I've read the books way back and started reading them again last year. I'll be needing some refresher you know.

Verdict? 5/10. Why? Well, I am a film critic (I guess) and I hate myself for that. I always think that adaptation especially from books to movies should be done in less and not more. I don't believe in those views that in order to create a good film, one should add spices to it even if it's really not part of the book.

Why disappointed? The film is very far from the book, actors weren't good enough portraying the characters, bad effects, and what hurts me most was that everything's been revealed in this first installment rather than giving people their enthusiasm to crave for more, which was in fact what made me a fan of these books.

Don't get me wrong here. I'm not giving false hopes or anything. Maybe if you haven't read the book, you might enjoy watching this despite the flaws. I guess sometimes, let's just let a book be a book. Enough said.

Single Lady

My ladies asked me out last night for a drink and chat. I said "yes" of course, they're two of my closest girlfriends in the world. Anyway, we decided to meet at Krocodile Grill in Greenbelt. I was quite aware that these ladies were both taken so I assumed that their loved ones will be there too. When we got there, we ordered then ate our dinner. Their "boys" arrived later that night.

We were talking about our plans for this year, having a good time exchanging life experiences, our rants to our beloved companies etc. Suddenly, I realized that in this circle, I'm alone. One. Unmarried. Bachelorette. Unengaged. Single -- whatever you call it. I facetiously told'em that I wasn't supposed to be there, that it was a double date (which leads to a triple date when my friend's brother passed by with his date and have a drink for a moment). Gah!

We called it a night around 11pm. I got home safe and sound but am confused with these mixed emotions of mine. It's not that serious you know but I can't help thinking, "Why am I single?" I know for a fact that there are some guys who have serious intentions, only, I'm not ready for it. There, I've answered my query.

Geez Pitz, it ain't that bad being single. Actually, it's a whole lot better than being attached. No heartaches, no quarrels, no worries! Besides, I already got what I wanted. Munchkin is ENOUGH for me. =)

I love my life or should I say, my single life!

Evil Act

I just can't help myself writing my hot-from-the-oven experience. I admit, I got nervous the moment I handed over the script to the little person and worst when that person called my attention.

You see, I can't be an angel everyday. There are things and decisions in life that have to make, be it good or bad, in order to survive.

Evilness is part of life. I wasn't promoting the trait, all am saying is use it wisely. I know it's morally wrong to be one but who knows? It might just save your life.
