MirandaSoft

In August 1992, I was stranded and abandoned about a ship in Atka, Alaska. Besides that, I have the newspaper, Anchorage Daily News, dated Saturday, September 19, 1992. On the Front Page, an article reads, "Dead hiker ID'd", written by Kris Capps. Apparently, I was stranded in Alaska during the final days of Christopher's life in Alaska. We were in the same State, but different locations. When I watched this movie, it brought back a lot of memories when I had lived in Alaska. I lived in Alaska from 1992 to 1995, and can "visualize" the life of Christopher, though I never met him. Since I had lived in Anchorage, many scenes in the movie were places that I've been to, a long time ago. My early life in Alaska wasn't nice to talk about, because I lived in a couple of shelters, and I remembered the McCandless news on KIMO TV 13. I remember the friends I made with Alaska State Troopers, and during that time in 1992, McCandless story was big news.

Well, this is the long, awaited MirandaSoft Report of my viewing of the movie. Since I'm in the Philippines, and not in Seattle, WA, USA, I had to wait a little bit longer. The release date of the movie was August 13. Well, I watched it, alone, in the cinema, on August 13. And, then I watched it, with my wife, in a different cinema, the very next day, August 14.

My IMDb comments of my favorite TV Show and Movie, X Files, were delayed, on purpose, as I did other stuff. I like this movie, a lot. Just like the 1st movie, "Fight the Future", 10 years ago, I'll be buying the DVD when it is released. For the 1st movie, I had the VHS and DVD version, but now have the VCD version of that movie, along with Seasons 1 and 2 DVD Collection.

As confirmed my movie cinema employees in SM Megamall, The X Files - I Want To Believe, didn't draw a large crowd. A local movie pushed it aside while "Death Race" movie killed it. I'm a true X Files Fan since the 1st episode of the 1st season. The X Files were popular in the Philippines, 10 years ago... Now, what happened? The X Files has very little popularity in Metro Manila. In 2006, when I moved here, it seemed like nobody heard of the X Files. What worse, or great (depending on how you see it), none of the X Files DVD Collections were pirated here. I have seasons 1 and 2, and nobody has seasons 3 through 9 in the Philippines.

Well, the X Files - I want to believe, should not have been called The X Files, as the X Files has already been closed. It should have been called, "Mulder and Scully," as Mulder and Scully are no longer FBI Agents. Though there were re-occurring player in the movie, this wasn't a real X Files movie, as there was No X Files case folder shown. It was about a missing FBI agent being led by a fallen priest, with parallel drama of the relationship between Mulder and Scully. My wife thought the movie was like a Soap Opera. It seemed like it to me. Well, after watching this movie, I can say that I have seen EVERY episode and movie of the X Files.

Have a nice day, everybody!
