2012: Hype or Truth? November 8, 2009

2012-posterIt’s the end of the world! I heard so much about this phenomenon that is about to happen on the December 21, 2012. There’s so much talk about this, I have read on the book, watch it on Youtube and now it is going to be a movie. With all this publicity, I’m beginning to wonder if it is really the truth or just publicity for the upcoming 2012 movie.

According to what I have read, the prophecy coincides with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar’s current cycle on or around December 21, 2012 (the northern hemisphere’s winter solstice). Explanations regarding of what will going to happen on 2012 is quite freaky and details on the book is somehow accurate to what is happening right now. But what’s make me more scared is when I watch 2012 movie trailers. The portrayal of how the world would end seems so real.

I’m trying to be open minded on this issue, this could be just hype, a media circus or it could be real. But who cares? When the world would end, it will end. Nobody can stop it. It will happen whether you like it or not. The only best thing that you can do is to prepare yourself for it.

Well, whether it is the truth or not, I am excited to watch the movie. If cannot catch it on theaters due to my hectic schedule I’ll watch 2012 online. This means, that I will be watching how the earth will end at the comfort of my home.

The Princess and the Frog Poster


I am so excited with the latest 2D animation for Walt Disney Animation Studios, based on what I have read, it is based on the novel written by E.D. Baker, The Frog Princess. But the story of The Princess and the Frog is quite different from what we have read on the E.D. Baker book.

The Princess and the Frog is all about Prince Naveen. Prince Naveen is the smooth talking prince from the land of Maldonia. Prince Naveen was transformed into a frog by the evil voodoo magician Dr. Facilier. The heroine of the story is Tiana, a 19-year old waitress and aspiring chef. Naveen, the frog prince mistakes Tiana for a princess and has her kiss him to break the spell. However, the kiss doesn’t break the spell, but instead turns Tiana into a frog as well. Together, the two of them must reach the good voodoo priestess of the Bayou, named Mama Odie, while befriending a trumpet-playing alligator and a hopelessly romantic firefly along the way.

The Princess and the Frog is schedule to open in limited released in New York and Los Angeles on November 35, 2009 and will be released worldwide on December 11, 2009.

They have to meet his quirky family in Alaska and the always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another.  With an impromptu wedding Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite the precarious consequences.  Unfortunately, the government is understandably suspicious, and so the two fake lovers must embark on a humiliating charade in order to make the marriage seem legitimate.
