Movie - Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D

So those of you who've been following me on Twitter and on Facebook know that I was invited to the press screening of Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D here in the Philippines. It's not exactly the newest of movies considering the delay of its release here in the Philippines but it was still a rather anticipated event of mine considering the stress of my week (and hence my lack of posts). This movie was a perfect chill movie amidst my week of exams.

I was invited to the screening by one of the members of the organizing team to blog quite informally about it. I just thought I'd put that out there lest you guys think I'm some bigshot movie blogger now. Sadly, I am not. But despite that fact, I think I'm pretty qualified to voice out my opinion on it, right?

"Right."

So what exactly did I think about the movie?

Coming from someone who's been a fan of Katy since before her "I Kissed A Girl" phase, I'd say the movie wasn't anything new to me where her life was concerned, and it isn't anything new to a lot of her die-hard fans as well. That being said, not everybody is a die-hard fan, and those that aren't are probably fans of most, if not all of the seven songs from her Teenage Dream Album to reach the top of the Billboard Hot Dance Club songs, setting a new record. And for these types of fans, the movie would probably be an inside look on the pop-phenomenon that is Katy Perry. Whether or not the entire thing warranted shooting and screening in 3D, however, is an entirely different banana.

"Be yourself and you can be anything"

So as not to spoil anyone who plans on watching the movie, I'm only going to say this: There is more to Katy Perry than meets the eye and your respect for the singer just might significantly increase after watching. She seems to be the epitome of professional whilst still being able to showcase how down-to-earth she really is with her family, friends and fans. Get to meet Katy Perry's equally quirky friends and family and be awed at the powers of hair and makeup.

I wouldn't say it's a must see movie with its behind-the-scenes and biography type feel, but the concert aspect of it makes you feel like you're up-close in an actual concert. The lineup of songs includes some of Katy's more famous songs, kicking off with an instrumental of The One That Got Away and subsequently showcasing performance versions of Teenage Dream, Hot 'n Cold, California Girls  and I Kissed a Girl just to name a few, as well as some of her less known songs.

I think one of my favorite quotes from the movie would have to be "I just want to be the first Katy Perry - not the next somebody".

Wise words, Katy, wise words.

The screening itself was quite an event, with photographers, a photobooth, free food and cotton candy ala California Girls. I wasn't able to take a picture of everything, so I hope the following pictures suffice. Sorry the lighting's a bit wonky - cinemas here are pretty dim-lit.

Hopefully I get to review and pre-screen more movies like this. With any luck, I might be able to review Les Miserables, and on time this time. Haha.

Ada, signing out.
