Watching Movie : Step Up


I didn't do much yesterday so I decide to watch the movie entitled STEP UP. The main cast of the movie is Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan. I considered Step Up as one of my favorite movies because it is romantic and it includes dancing, which I enjoyed to watch. Dancing is not my passion, but I salute those people who can dance really well because they have this fascinating talent that not everyone can have it. Though I'm not a ballerina like Jenna, but watching people who can perform some dance or ballet, makes me happy already.

Summary of the movie:

An aspiring ballerina from a wealthy family learns some lessons about both dancing and life from a roughneck with soul in this teen drama. Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in a rough section of Baltimore, and has been in and out of trouble with the law most of his life. Finding himself before the judge yet again, Tyler is sentenced to 200 hours of community service, and he ends up mopping floors at the Maryland School of the Arts. Tyler catches the eye of Nora (Jenna Dewan), a gifted ballet student who is trying to incorporate hip-hop moves into her classical routines. None of Nora's fellow students seem to be on the same page as her, but Tyler is a talented street dancer with strength, moves, and enthusiasm. Despite the misgivings of the school's administrators, Nora persuades Tyler to team up with her for a major class project. Tyler gains a new self-respect as he gives in to the discipline of the dance academy, but he wonders if this new opportunity means turning his back on who he really is. Matters become all the more complicated when Tyler and Nora realize they're falling in love.

The Ending of BOF


Yesterday was the ending of BOF or known as Boys Over Flower, a Korean series that hit in the Philippines. I was so happy and super “kilig” when I saw the finale of this series because it’s very nice and it’s happy ending. Finally the 2 lovers, namely Jandi and Jun Pyo end up with full of love and trust, believing that at the end they will still be together and it happened. After all the rains that pour over in their relationship, it follows with a beautiful sunshine that brightens up their day again. These lovers encountered lots of trials in their relationship but they never gave up.

Therefore, if you love someone, you’re willing to sacrifice for the sake of the relationship. And if you are meant for each other, no matter how far the distance, it will not be the hindrance of the relationship because love will find a way that it end with a happy ending.

Jackson's Choreographer Teaches Dancing the Filipino Inmates

Cebu Provincial Detention And Rehabilitation Center or (CPDRC) in the Philippines performed the Michael Jackson dance steps. Payne, who worked with Jackson for more than 10 years, was able to take their performance to new heights. Their rendition of Jackson's "They Don't Really Care About Us" is comparable to the scene in "This Is It." He teaches the Jackson dance steps to almost 1500 inmates in Cebu and it’s such a great performance. In fact, it gives pride to all the Filipino people that Payne chooses CPDRC to train this Michael Jackson dance steps. Payne spent two hours on Sun., Jan. 17, and Mon., Jan. 18, teaching the dancers the routines from Jackson's posthumous "This Is It" film.

"The Drill" is the last scene Payne and Jackson worked on together before the pop icon died in June. The clip was released over the weekend, days before the Tues., Jan. 26 release of the "This Is It" DVD.

The "This Is It" version is a highlight of the film. It features a group of dancers who were digitally replicated to appear as an army. Payne's work with the CPDRC men brought this virtual sequence to real life.
