Music to the EYES.

Frankly speaking, if there is a genre of movie that bores me, it is MUSICAL. Well, I don't know why it gives me a drowsy feeling, that feeling that you could have just watch Eat Bulaga in the television as compared to watching an hour length of Musical movie. Or maybe because it's the song choice. Because you see, I often wonder, instead of having the character say his/her lines in a normal manner, he should sing it instead.
The first musical movie I watched was the Phantom of the Opera. Yes the movie is a bit boring but because all the songs there that was performed in the movie was the songs that were played on our JS (Junior-Senior) Prom. So basically our Prom Dance Instructor asked us to watch the said movie. I had also watched High School Musical several years ago, and it did not struck me. It's an ugly movie, no offense to the fans.

Recently I have watched the movie Les Miserables, a novel written by the genius Victor Hugo. COnsidered as one of the greatest novels in that time. Moving forward with the movie, the movie started with Hugh Jackman's character (Jean Valjean) who was prisoned for several years because he stole a bread for his sister's hungry children then he was given a parole then he broke it and the rest is history. Singing and drama coincides that movie. I believe I slept for almost 30 minutes in the middle of the movie. Which is expected from me since it is a musical.

But guessed what?! There is this one musical movie, I had watch for 3 times already. The movie is fresh, the selection of music is amazing and current so the bottom line is the movie is entertaining. The movie is entitled PITCH PERFECT. The movie is about a girl named Beca ,who was portrayed by Anna Kendrick, forced by his father to go to college and later joined a musical singing group who competes in a musical event with their rival male counterparts.

The movie is funny, well I guess so, since I was never put to sleep. From Kelly Clarkson's popular hit " Since U been Gone" to Sia's "Titanium", the playlist is completely unexceptional. Speaking of Movie OST, I suggest you to watch WARM BODIES, the playlist is superb. I even downloaded all songs included on the movie. I always believe that a good movie should have a good soundtrack. Going back to the movie Pitch Perfect, personally i am hoping for a sequel. I hope there will be one. I truly suggest that you watch Pitch Perfect and maybe you'll also appreciate musical movies. From a hater to a follower. See you next post!

My top 3 FAVE! Music videos of all time.

According to Paul Simon, "Music is forever; music should grow and mature with you, following you right on up until you die". Once we listen to our favorite music, we forget the world around us. It's like creating a world around you. And as the years pass by, a new platform is used to express music and for it to be heard globally, well aside from purchasing music online and buying your favorite artists' album.
It is music in the television. It is exciting and thrilling to see your favorite music in television with a drama, a story , and some artistic representation in a form of music video. I for one has a list of my favorite music videos.

So first on my list is a song coming from Coldplay entitled "The Scientist". I love how the entire video was narrated in reverse way. Plus it is also included in their album A Rush of Blood to the Head Tour which is my favorite Coldplay's album. In 2003, "The Scientist" won multiple MTV Video Music Awards for Best Group Video, Best Direction, and Breakthrough Video.

Second is from a song coming from The Shins. Although the video is about family, the song is actually about a past love. So basically there is no relation with the songs lyrics to it's music video. I love how the music video conveys a very basic lesson on moving forward.
Lastly, my all time favorite music video is Thriller, of course from Michael Jackson. A 13:43 length of music video which gave us total entertainment. I just love this video. It was also voted as the most influential pop music video of all time. And besides, I am a fan of ZOMBIES. So this is realy a fun video to watched for.

So there you have it, you have my list of my all time top 3 music videos. I know you guys out there has their own list. So post what's yours and let's cheers on that. :)
