TCP: AeonFlux
400 years in the future, set in the year 2415, Aeon Flux is a mysterious assassin. Four centuries after a virus nearly decimated the human race, leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor Goodchild, the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler, Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and conspiracies to be foiled. (source)
I so love this movie because its cinematography is just great. Maybe it’s Charlize Theron curvaceous body that made me love this movie, but really I have seen this countless time and I still enjoy watching it.
Can you say no to that? 
TCP: 27 Dresses
Who’s going to marry today? No one? But I was hearing wedding bells! Oh, it’s TCP’s theme for this week, wedding movies. Honestly, I thought of My Best Friend’s Wedding, but that would be an easy choice. The next wedding movie that I like is The Wedding Singer. It is from that movie that I learned about the song TRUE by Spandau Ballet:
So true…….
Funny how it seems…..
Always in time, but never in line for dreams.
Head over heels, when toe to toe,
This is the sound of my soul. (This is the sound)
I bought a ticket to the world,
But now I’ve come back again.
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
When I want the truth to be said…….
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah
I know this much is true.
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue,
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun.
Listening to Marvin all night long.
This is the sound of my soul. (This is the sound)
Always slipping from my hands,
Sand’s a time of it’s own.
Take your seaside arms and write the next line,
Oh, I want the truth to be known…….
And did you know that this song has been to a lot of movies? I heard it from Wedding Singer, 50 First Dates, Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, Duplex, Charlie’s Angels (2007) and some more movies titles I can’t remember. True aside, my entry for this week is 27 Dresses. It’s about this girl who has always been a bridesmaid but never a bride. She loves wedding and is always ready to organize one. But when her secret love and her sister decided to tie the knot, her own wedding dream is jeopardized. She got a wedding to ruin and a blossoming love life to handle and 27 dresses to dispatch.

TCP: My Best Freind’s Wedding
For this week, it’s all about Love..love.. love.. and for the theme, it is favorite love story. I chose the movie My Best Friend’s Wedding though this movie is not a romantic move. This is one of my favorite movie that talks about Love. I love because it shows that Love does not always ends on happily. Can I just tell that I love this movie to bits and that includes the sound track. Back when I was in college and I only live through allowance, I save up to buy a cassette tape of the OST of this movie. Aside from Say A Little Prayer (that was the most famous song from the movie), I also like the ending song which is I’ll Be OK. I also like I Don’t What To Do With Myself.. and yeah.. basically all of the song on the sound track.
I like how the story ended. I like how they did not end up together. My most favorite line from the movie: This is my one chance at happiness. I have to be ruthless!
Most of you knew the story for sure, most of you had dance and sung while saying a little prayer so I won’t bore you with the synopsis.. but let me just give you teh lyrics of one my fave song from their OST: I’ll Be OK
It’s time to let you go
It’s time to say goodbye
There’s no more excuses
No more tears to cry
There’s been so many changes
I was so confused
All along you were the one
All the time I never knew
I want you to be happy
You’re my best friend
But it’s so hard to let you go now
All that could have been
I’ll always have the memories
She’ll always have you
Fate has a way of changing
Just when you don’t want it to
[Chorus]
Throw away the chains
Let love fly away
Till love comes again
I’ll be okay
Life passes so quickly
You gotta take the time
Or you’ll miss what really matters
You’ll miss all the signs
I’ve spent my life searching
For what was always there
Sometimes it will be too late
Sometimes it won’t be fair
[Chorus]
I won’t give up
I won’t give in
I can’t recreate what just might have been
I know that my heart will find love again
Now is the time to begin
[Chorus]
I can’t hold on forever baby
I’ll be okay
Don’t you just love the good vibes the song gives out? wait until you hear it.

Oh yeah, that’s the theme for TCP this week. Blockbuster films.. Out of the top 20 films, I failed to watch Avatar, Star Wars 1 and 3. From the looks of it, Avatar is a must watch, imagine, being second to Titanic. OK now, we have to see this movie TCPers! Now na!
And yeah for my entry, I will go with The Matrix Revolution, and I will give you some trivia about it. I am pretty sure all TCPers have seen this movie aready but not of you know this bit of trivia that I will share.. hihi..
Did you remember the girl that Neo met before fighting the virus? The girl in the train station. Her name is SATI. Yes, I got Sati’s nickname from that movie. Even before, I already had a name for a baby girl and that is SOFIA ANANTA. What I don’t have is a nickname for that name. I always make it a point to have a nickname for my kids that is very different (or slightly) from their full name. So when I saw Sati and learned the meaning of her name in that movie (which is new beginning), I want it to be the nickname of my baby girl who will have the full name SOFIA ANANTA. Only later that learned that Sati is a hindu tradition of the immolation of a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre (source) But it also means friendship in Nepal and one of the most used term there. yay!
