BOSS BABY movie review

This is the cutest thing that you'll have this Easter. Alec Baldwin voices the cute Boss Baby which opens April 15. I guarantee that the movie will have tons of cuteness that you will enjoy from start to finish.

It was an adorable sight to see lots of babies and do corporate grown up things. His expressions are so adorable that you won't forget or regret it. As the Baby Company CEO, he is a pretty good leader to the other babies -- especially while having the conference with them.

I like the sibling rivalry between him and Timmy that are exaggerated to an action sequence while they are just using household and baby items -- a successful merging of concepts to project a very good aspect in the relationship of the two boys which is very relatable among siblings.

In any sibling rivalry, there will come a point where they will deal on protecting each other just not to get caught by the parents or adults. It also very sad that they have to part ways after their mission. There's a Peter Pan situation here that we don't want Boss Baby to suffer. But since the boys have bonded in a very special way, I liked how things have ended in this movie.

KUNG FU PANDA 3 movie review

Probably the best in the Kung Fu Panda series yet, Kung Fu Panda 3 is a great completion of Po in pursuit of his identity and sealing his affirmation of being the Dragon Warrior as prophesied by Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim). This iconic family animated masterpiece will be in Philippine theaters starting March 9 and here are the big reasons why you should see it.

With the existing antics by Po (Jack Black) and the powerful Furious 5: Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Crane (David Cross), Viper (Lucy Liu), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Monkey (Jackie Chan), together with Master Shi Fu (Dustin Hoffman), you will still be served with more comedy, more inspiration, more action and more!

The reunion between Po and Li is an emotional roller coaster and you will also have the feels for the goose father, Mr. Ping. Po's search for his identity is really had its good and sad sides but then you'll understand both of them.

It's cuteness overload! From the little bunnies from the Valley of Peace, we will travel to the secret Panda Village where you will see more pandas popping from everywhere! You will be all eyes on the young pandas and be more surprised that when I learned that Team Brangelina voiced these little dumplings!

secret Panda Village

Lastly, there are very deep teachings that Master Oogway has shared to us that will Po help us to realize. It will make Po level up his potentials and upgrades himself as a Dragon Warrior. He is more glorious and I like it. Now that he is not just a protector of the physical world, but also the spirit realm where he is the most amazing thing that happened in the movie! I literally cried when I see Po glowing with power and all and mastering new kung fu techniques, haha! It was definitely a glorious action scene against Kai (JK Simmons) in saving kung fu.

You definitely have to see Kung Fu Panda 3 and just enjoy it. I still hope that the story will continue now that he finds another Panda in the village. Would you like to see him have a child? I do. :)

ZOOTOPIA movie review

ZOOTOPIA returns Disney-style of telling fables and now a story that can be very relatable in the likes of light CSI and even everybody's everyday life. This cute animal story plays February 17 in cinemas and full of representations that we encounter in our everyday lives.

Zootopia looks like the Disney castle from a glance. You can also see many familiar icons throughout the movie and make sure that you find them. There are exposed past and upcoming Disney movies within scenes.

In Zootopia, we see a lot of representations of people. Starting with Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin), a farm-town dreamer of making it to the big picture. Like everyone, we like to see our full potential despite of the little size. She is also perked up in her first day of work and putting the best foot forward to impress everyone around. Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), a fox which is very unlikely to partner up with a bunny could represent as the most unusual people who could become as friends as they could be helping us in the difficult time when we least expect it. Turns out, that they are the most qualified people that we would like to be with every time. Ms. Bellwether, the sheep, might be the type of person you have to be careful with. She may look like a sweet and calm angel, you'll never know that she is capable of pulling people down behind their backs. There are also the big guys, the animals who bullied Judy Hopps because of her size and doubted of her capabilities and were of no help of pursuing your own dreams.

The funniest scene about Zootopia is with the sloths at the transportation bureau. Flash and the other officers will be testing your patience and it clearly reflects how people share their experience in the government agencies (at least here in the Philippines).

Zootopia also reflected how we would like to see our own world. Where people, big or small, live harmoniously. But it reminded us that it is not perfect but can release our potential to be great and push for the greater good for people living in one community. You can hear it from Shakira's song playing all through the movie. It also got the African beats that you'll love.

ANGRY BIRDS movie - trailer impressions

After we've seen their cameo appearance in Rio, Rovio's biggest online and mobile game ANGRY BIRDS has been turned into a movie and will be released next summer. It has a TV series running now on kids channels but the movie version gives a new look on these adorable characters. Here are some points:

1. All the birds are present and now has bodies aside from just being round.
2. Red (Jason Sudeikis) gives us the reason why he is being angry. The original purpose of the mobile game, the cute creature ironically has a rough character to begin with.

3. Of course the pigs are present and they also got full bodies like the birds. And they have names! The leader of the pig is named Leonard, and is voiced over by Bill Hader.

4. The trailer is so adorable and cute that it had to start with The Carpenter's Close To You and transition to Michael Jackson's BAD. I don't know why but it's hilarious.
5. Sadly, it doesn't contain all the birds from the game. Take a look of some of the birds that we missed.

Watch the trailer here:
Featuring a hilarious, all-star voice cast that includes Bill Hader (“Inside Out”), Maya Rudolph (“Bridesmaids”), and Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), as well as Keegan-Michael Key (“Pitch Perfect 2”), Kate McKinnon (next year's “Ghostbusters”), Tony Hale (“Veep”), Ike Barinholtz (“Neighbors”), Hannibal Buress (“Broad City”), Jillian Bell (“22 Jump Street”), Danielle Brooks (“Orange is the New Black”), Latin music sensation Romeo Santos, and YouTube stars Smosh (Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla), the Columbia Pictures/Rovio Entertainment film is directed by Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis, produced by John Cohen and Catherine Winder, screenplay by Jon Vitti, and executive produced by Mikael Hed and David Maisel.

Opening across the Philippines on May 18, 2016, “Angry Birds” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

CINDERELLA movie review (plus Frozen Fever)

I enjoyed watching Disney's Cinderella last Saturday. The world-famous fairy tale of rags to glamour and making dreams come true has made us remember our childhood in this wonderfully made live-action movie.

In this re-imagination, we further understand how Cinderella is during her happy days with her mother. Just like how the bond was delivered in Into The Woods. We also get to know why her stepmother and step sisters were so mean to her, a back story that helped establish her cruelty against Cinderella. At some point we've got to pity her and that's one factor that we have to know each other's sides.

We are also presented with more additions to the story to clarify the issues going on with the characters. Then we discover the stories on different ends and that may have contributed to our protagonist's life.

A little touch of Disney's "movie magic" and we gave a glamorous and enthralling experience. Though this is not the same treatment as the original musical animated film, Cinderella did not compromise the magical story. There are still familiar elements but transformations unfold before your eyes and they are amazing. "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo!" did not fall out of context; Cinderella talks to mice and lizards, her glass slippers and her blue ballgown, thank you to the Fairy Godmother, all these were made possible.

With its primer "Frozen Fever," it established the magical wonders that are in store for us in Cinderella. Elsa's sneeze created cute little snowmen that almost tore Anna's birthday party apart. You'd better get to the theaters earlier to see this cute treat.

Now showing in theaters nationwide, Cinderella is played Lily James with Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, Stellan Skarsgaard. Directed by Kenneth Branagh under Walt Disney Pictures and distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines.

Daniel Henney looks back at brotherhood with BIG HERO 6

Korean actor Daniel Henney generously lends his voice to Hiro's brother, Tadashi in Disney's BIG HERO 6 opening in theaters tomorrow, November 6.

As Hiro's big brother, Tadashi gets to look over them after the tragic loss of their parents. And Daniel Henney sees Tadashi as a person that should serve the young one's strength. But at times, big brothers try to pick on their brothers but there is still the love and care factor.

Tadashi is the creator of Baymax, the medical robot that is programmed to answer a person's medical needs. With a simple scan, it can identify symptoms and diagnose. And when great danger arrives in San Fransokyo, Hiro developed him into a marvel weapon that can save the world.

Big Hero 6 opens in cinemas November 6. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

Meet Baymax

Baymax, the comforting inflatable robot that turns into a superhero in Disney's Big Hero 6, is not just a cuddly big marshmallow but instead a marvelous work by Disney's animators and thinkers. The character makes everyone search for something like it and we are now blessed to have him in theaters, November 6.

Baymax, he is just about to care. A vinyl robot designed for healthcare and absolutely a breakthrough in the industry. He can detect what you're feeling, level of pain, sickness, etc. He is essentially programmed to attend to the medical needs. But when his creator Tadashi disappears, he makes a different thing for Hiro, Tadashi's brother, to have a soul and become the best friend anyone could have.

It was quite a challenge for the animators to bring in Baymax's emotions. The big bump of white and black robot is very cuddly and unimaginable that he can do what he'll do after Hiro's experiment on him to save the world. Curiosity has just been illustrated with his tilt of the head and it will be a trick when he'll blink.

Scott Adsit voicing Baymax fits the character. “The fact that the character is a robot limits how you can emote,” says producer Roy Conli. “But Scott was hilarious. He took those boundaries and was able to shape the language in a way that makes you feel Baymax’s emotion and sense of humor. Scott was able to relay just how much Baymax cares.”

“Everything Baymax says is essentially programmed because he’s a robot,” says Adsit. “But over time, as he builds a relationship with Hiro, he adapts and deep inside his inflatable self is a soul, I think. He starts out almost like a child—with a waddle and an innocent look—and grows, embodying different aspects of the relationships in our lives: he’s a son, a brother, and eventually a father. So Baymax is family.”

Opening across the Philippines on Nov. 06, “Big Hero 6” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

Meet Baymax's master

We all know the big cuddly robot that was held on a mission which is very contrary to its original program of taking care of a person. Now let's get to know Hiro, the robot developer who turns out his skills are utilized to save the world against an evil force and developing into a man that many would admire in Disney's Big Hero 6.

Hiro, maker of state-of-the-art robots that go to battle in the dark corners of San Fransokyo (derived from San Francisco and Tokyo since Hiro is Asian-American) is voiced by Ryan Potter -- a Disney fan himself and sees himself very much with Hiro.

Actor, director, martial artist, photographer and philanthropist Ryan Potter was raised in Tokyo, Japan, until the age of 7. His first language was Japanese and he’s a lifelong fan of Manga and Anime.

Potter appeared in the 2014 feature film “Senior Project” and will appear in “Underdog Kids" early next year. He also starred in Nickelodeon’s “Supah Ninjas” as a typical high school student who discovers he descended from a long line of ninjas.

In addition to acting, Potter is skilled in several martial art disciplines. He began training in White Tiger Kung Fu at age 8 and has also studied Wu Shu style Kung Fu, Karate and Capoeira. In addition to White Tiger, Potter trains in martial arts tricking and parkour free running.
Potter is also devoted to painting and photography, often in unison, creating mixed media art, directing and filming his own martial arts videos and is moved by music of all genres. He is planning to attend college next year to study film and art.

Potter is dedicated to raising awareness for several charities including Covenant House and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. He is grateful for his Big Brother of 10 years and has been a National Spokesperson since 2012. In addition, Toy Box of Hope, a charity that Potter started himself in 2011, raises awareness and donations for homeless children in Los Angeles.

Opening across the Philippines on Nov. 06, 2014, “Big Hero 6” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY movie review

in the prelude of MONSTERS INC., we are able to see the story behind the friendship of Mike and Sulley, how their differences make them each other's nightmare but eventually become the best of friends. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY is all a backtrack of everyone's story. that each everyone searches for success, live their dreams and even be brave to conquer obstacles of college life and friendship.

the majority of the story focuses on Mike Wazowski, a preschooler who wished to become connected to their world's most sought-after employer, Monsters Inc. and what it takes to be an employee is to be top-scarer in their school, Monsters University. from then on, his inspiration is to know everything about scaring people. this is no easy task for Mike because he has to endure college life in the School of Scaring under the terror of Dean Hardscrabble, a notable scarer of Monstropolis and a Hall of Famer in the university.

Mike Wazowski and Dean Hardscrabble

Mike's college life is complete and exciting with the whole cast of characters which we would find in a contemporary university setting. the bullies, the varsities, the populars, the nerds and all would be part of Mike's college life and would be his barriers towards fulfilling his dreams. adding to that is another popular kid, James Sullivan, who came from a family of very good scarers. Mike and Sulley's encounter would be very difficult for both of them initially as they go through the Scare Games, but they'll get to know and make up each other's strengths to achieve what they dream of.

Mike Wazowski's college life is very relatable to everyone who went through college. this would be their momentous era where they are trying to prove to everyone about their abilities and each one would dream about belonging to different cliques where they could be comfortable to fit in. but there are times that we couldn't get everything that we want. for this movie, it also teaches us that experience is the best teacher. i remember that i was almost the same as Mike during college. i had the same drive towards studying and may have dealt with similar people in the university. it could have been added to the fun at the university and like all, we should always be thankful to everyone who became part of what we are today.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY opens June 26 and distributed by Walt Disney Studios (Philippines). directed by Dan Scanlon under Disney Pixar. also be sure to stay after the credits for a fun clip.

THE CROODS movie review

a movie for the whole family, THE CROODS takes you on an adventure of survival and making your life worthwhile for everyone around you. the roller coaster journey of the first family is a combo of laughter, drama, courage, and love.

THE CROODS are just your average family, an over-protective father, an open-minded mom, a granny that doesn't believe much of his son-in-law, a teenage daughter, a meat-head son, and a wild child. together they were confined in a cave and gets out in fear looking for their means of survival. but when their cave got destroyed from the continental drift, the Croods finds it hard to adjust themselves.

in every family, the teenage child always gets into the curiosity and urges to take some new adventure. Eep (Emma Stone) opens her world into new thinking that her father would not sink in. adding to Grug's (Nicolas Cage) own fear is Eep's separation to his domain by meeting Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a smart boy that has relatively experienced many things in survival.

being stuck in an evolving world, THE CROODS is a colorful journey through earth's change. notice that accepting change is a subliminal subject in the movie. close family ties is also very prominent that everyone can relate to, especially fathers to their daughters. relationships should be reciprocative though it entails sacrifices. every action takes a noble character.

THE CROODS is also a visually-enticing movie for kids. with weird creatures that are ongoing evolution, kids and adults alike think on identifying these creatures and even so the animals they resemble currently. it's a great watch in 3D.

THE CROODS opens March 22, 2013 in Philippine cinemas. distributed by 20th Century Fox Philippines.
