Motorokr Fest ’08 – Goo Goo Dolls in Lima?

August 4, 2008 — 3 Comments

**EDIT** They’re NOT coming. Check the comments~ xD

Okay, seems like I have been totally out of the loop here because I just found out that Motorokr Fest will be over the weekend (this Saturday to be precise). I blame it all on poor promotion… the event has totally been overshadowed by cable commercials about the Olympics, which will begin one day before the fest.

I would have never EVER known about it, if I hadn’t subscribed to Eventful back when Bjork was coming… so I checked my email today, and saw this in the event list.

First reaction was, HOLY SHIT! Goo Goo Dolls is coming??? I was also surprised about Lifehouse~~~ I wonder if my cousin is going. *looks for him and asks*

OK, it’s official~~~ The event has the worst promotion EVER. My cousin just found out when I told him. **EDIT** My friend doesn’t know anything about the event either, HA!

Such a pity, really… most important, the company selling the tickets (tuentrada.com.pe)- I didn’t EVEN KNOW that they existed. Never have seen a commercial by them, makes me iffy. It’s not like I love Teleticket (who also has a TERRIBLE website) – Wouldn’t Ticketmaster want to come??? I’ve gotten a pretty great service from them the times when I’ve bought tickets from them. xD

**EDIT** There’s also no info about the concert on Lifehouse’s Website or MySpace.
**EDIT** Molotov’s website shows the date as a CANCELED GIG.
**EDIT** No news if Cuarteto de Nos is/will or was ever on. Most likely that the event was entirely canceled, in which case organizers should update their online info.

**LAST EDIT** Just checked the Eventful site, and they finally put the cancelled tag on it.

4 Luni, 3 Saptamini si 2 Zile – Finally in Lima!

July 31, 2008 — Leave a comment

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days PosterLast year’s award-winning Romanian film, “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” has finally arrived to screens in Lima. Mind you, just a few screens.

The film stars Anamaria Marinca as Otilia, a Romanian young woman who’s trying to help her friend to perform an illegal abortion in the 1980s.

It’s a well-acted film, and thought-provoking… which is really good if you like talking about the films afterwards…

I gave it a 4/5, and I’m probably gonna watch it again.

These are the time, but be sure to check Cine Terra.

Cineplanet Alcazar | 3:20 pm – 5:50 pm – 8:20 pm – 10:50 pm
Cineplanet San Miguel | 12:30 pm – 2:45 pm – 5:20 pm – 8:00 pm
UVK Caminos del Inca | 3:30 pm – 5:50 pm – 8:00 pm – 10:10 pm
UVK LarcoMar | 3:50 pm – 6:00 pm – 8:10 pm – 10:20 pm

Animation Madness!

July 30, 2008 — 2 Comments

I don’t know how many of you had the chance to grow up with this animation around them, but recently I got to watch some animated films that I had seen as a child. I mean, many of us have grown up with Disney… or some with Hayao Miyazaki work. But how about Sullivan Bluth Studios?

Feliz 28!

July 28, 2008 — Leave a comment

Yup~ Felices fiestas! xD Que viva el Peru, and the whole shebang~

Brace yourselves for some marching tomorrow, and prepare your illegally bought movies ‘coz many won’t be too fond of national TV xD

My jaw hurts, so I won’t be eating anything hard to chew. I’m beginning to hate doctors… my jaw hurts worse that it used to. It blows. Clean ears, my ass.

Also, YesAsia blows. I need to bent! Keep your fingers crossed for the next five days so they can at least find Dandelion… because Dandelion is oh-so-pretty-a-book. And I need to have it.

Viewers Against Only-Dubbed Films!

July 5, 2008 — 11 Comments

I am NOT against dubbing… I have read that some people with viewing difficulties prefer watching dubbed films, and I respect that. This is why I’m titling this “Only-Dubbed,” I don’t have a problem with dubbing a movie, but what bothers me is not having the option of watching the subtitled version of it.

Case and point, Continue Reading…

Over a Month Worth of Music

June 29, 2008 — 1 Comment

It’s been like a month and a half since I last blogged about the music I’ve been listening. Of course I’m totally loving my Salyu albums since last post, and have been digging my Japanese trend these past few weeks… you wouldn’t believe. Everything Asian… le sigh. xD Including a lot of Asian films, therefore a lot of Asian Soundtrack additions because Amy loves her some soundtrack music.

The Ellen Show Finally in Latin America!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwzbNSJ8On4

Yup, finally as well. It already began showing, but you wouldn’t believe how freaky was to find out it was showing. It was a regular day in the evening when I suddenly thought to myself that I missed watching The Ellen Show because, well… no one broadcasted the show (until now), so I missed watching it from time to time. So maybe I thought of sending a message through her website complainig about it, ha! One minute later (literally), I saw the commercial that it was gonna begin broadcasting.

The Ellen Show is showing from Monday to Friday at 5 p.m. (GMT -5, Peru Time) on Warner Channel (Channel 16 Cable Magico). I leave you with some Ellen Spanish Funny. The Spanish classes did sure pay up!
