project 100: monte carlo

Playing hooky from Rex Manning BIG TIME. The mind is willing but the flesh is weak. After that trip from the airport, went with AD to her office which is conveniently located in the mall. In fairness to me, I did some market research also, so there was quasi-work related and not purely play. After lunch, I did another round of market research then decided to watch Monte Carlo because they won't let me in Transformers in the middle of showing.

You might wonder why I spent P160 on a movie starring Selena Gomez whom I expressed non-like of... You see, I just realized that there's some kind of love-hate relationship here. I am annoyed at her because of her character in Wizards of Waverly Place, but then again I used to watch it religiously. I think her head's too big for her body and she has too much hair, but I am actually envious of her tresses. And I really do think she is beautiful. And thin. *sigh*

So what do I think about Monte Carlo?

• Paris is breathtaking! Every time I see the Eiffel Tower in movies or on TV, I get all giddy and I know I just had to see it in person. 
• I love the Gossip Girl connection- it's Blair and Juliet! I know I just admitted that I semi-like Selena Gomez but even if I didn't, Leighton Meester is reason enough. J'adore Leighton Meester ♥ I love that we have the same wavy hair. Suddenly, I appreciated my medyo-wavy-medyo-curly hair but the similarity ends there... oh how I wish I could have waist that tiny. Frak. 
• Saw on tumblr that the plot is pretty familiar. Remember The Lizzie McGuire Movie? It's pretty much the same, actually. It's a good thing I wasn't able to watch the Lizzie McGuire movie and I do think that Monte Carlo is way better than that (and better wardrobe, imo). 
• Cuteness galore, especially that Riley. Man, the dimples are to die for and I don't even like dimples. The accent- LIKE! But does his shirt always has to be unbuttoned?
• I will not delve into the impossibility that two, unrelated people look exactly alike. But if they were raised in very disparate backgrounds, wouldn't it be all too obvious?
• And it gets all cheesy when they were found out, or actually they outed themselves, and then they make this speech about wanting to help the poor and it doesn't really matter on whose neck the bazillion necklace is. The real Cordelia wants them arrested but aside from her, no one in the crowd of megauberrich people thinks so. It's just that in the real world, these megauberrich people who have $6million (kahit $3million lang nga eh) to spare on one necklace are just as snooty as Cordelia was. 

I enjoyed it so I guess it was a well-spent P160. I'm actually a sucker for movies like Monte Carlo~ sorry but mental age is at the range of 18-24.

My current LSS. Just when Selena Gomez says that "she's no beauty queen, she's just beautiful her," does she realize she just said that the ugly ones are even uglier? Okay fine, beauty is in the eye of the beholder na nga.

Update on my Project 100 Movies this 2011: I have seen 42 movies already. Only 58 movies more. Although I was in the same number at this time last year, this year looks promising ;)
