POWER RANGERS movie review
So I think I might forgotten how the story goes since Power Rangers was shown when I was just around 7 to 10. Now that the Saban TV series is now a movie franchise, I tried to recall all elements from the show and compared it with the movie.
The Power Rangers is a group of teenagers (check!) that acquired super powers by being the chosen few to save the world from a villain, Rita Repulsa (check!) and her minions. Led by Jason (check!) as the Red Ranger (check!), joined by 4 others, are set to a quest to defend the earth from future destruction (storyline check!).
They have taken a new approach on the origins of the Rangers and why Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks) wants to conquer earth so bad, I thought that there are major elements that are missed in the movie. They should shout "Mastodon - Pterodactyl - Triceratops - Sabre-toothed Tiger - Tyrranosaurus" to morph themselves into Power Rangers. That's how they can get the unknown bond between them and their own vehicles. The coins didn't do much on their morphing as they were just instruments to discover the new breed of Rangers.
Major twist, Rita Repulsa was a previous Ranger. Before, she was an evil witch trying to rule the universe with her minions. Now, with her greed to collect all energy crystals from all planets, there is also no reason why she first looks for gold instead of the crystal which can give her greater power.
There's a plot hole that crushed the concept of them having unbelievable strength they acquired upon discovering the coins. When Rita Repulsa tried to kill blue Billy (RJ Cycler/Blue Ranger), suddenly all of them have to help carry him. And the origin story is too long and the fight scene just took less than 10 minutes I think.
A few things great about Power Rangers -- they maintained actors diversity just like the TV series. There's White, Black, Asian, and even a lesbian is part of the characters. Making it very human and adapting to the times. New outfit is better and I liked it too with the metallic accents and works. I just LOL'd on the scene which Rita Repulsa made herself comfortable with a piece of Krispy Kreme and a cup of coffee before she started destroying the Rangers home town. Plus a good cameo by Amy Jo Johnson and Jason David Frank at the end.

Who's who in THE GOOD DINOSAUR?
Before herds go wild in theaters, let's know the following species that will bring us an adorable prehistoric story in The Good Dinosaur. (in alphabetical order, click on the photos to enlarge)
Know the characters in this wonderful and inspiring Pixar movie.
BUCK (Marcus Scribner) is Arlo’s brother: they’re the same age, but Buck is bigger, stronger and a little rambunctious. He likes to tease his fearful brother as often as he can—and Arlo is an easy target. Buck’s size, strength and confidence allow him to do things that Arlo can’t imagine doing—like ripping a tree out of the ground with his teeth. LIBBY (Maleah Padilla). Arlo's sister Libby is a capable and willful girl who can plow a mean field. The little trickster has a great sense of humor, and loves playing silly pranks on her family.
BUTCH (Sam Elliott) is a rugged and intimidating Tyrannosaurus Rex—showcased by the gruesome scar across his face. A veteran rancher who’s a real pro when it comes to herding longhorns, Butch encourages his kids Ramsey and Nash to learn by doing, hurling them into one hairy situation after another. Butch likes nothing better than trading war-stories over a campfire at the end of a long day.
MOMMA (Frances McDormand). A loving wife and mother, Momma is smart and quick-witted. She’s a hard worker with a lot of love for her family, and she keeps her children and their farm in order. Her quiet strength is the backbone of the family.
An enthusiastic young Tyrannosaurus Rex, NASH (AJ Buckley) lives for adventure, and loves when something unexpected breaks up the routine of rounding up longhorns with his father, Butch, and his big sister Ramsey. He isn’t the sharpest of spurs and has trouble keeping track of their herd, but his mischievous charm and positive attitude make him good company out on the range.
PET COLLECTOR (Peter Sohn) is a mysterious Styracosaurus who lives in the wilderness. Like Arlo, he harbors unreasonable fears. His ability to blend into his surroundings helps—along with an unusual (but not exactly fierce) collection of forest critters he’s recruited to protect him.
POPPA (Jeffrey Wright). Brave and selfless, Poppa is a devoted husband and father, working tirelessly to make a life for his family on their farm. He has a soft spot for Arlo, his small and fearful son, and takes special care of him as he grows up. Poppa believes in Arlo and knows that with enough perseverance, Arlo can overcome his fear and make his mark.
The PTERODACTYLS (Steve Zahn, Mandy Freund and Steven Clay Hunter) are a search-and-“rescue" team of five. They like to sit back and let the often-treacherous storms in this part of the world do their dirty work, then reap the benefits of the devastation. But when these flying hunter-scavengers set their sights on Spot and Arlo, they’re in for a big surprise.
A fearless, whip-smart and no-nonsense Tyrannosaurus Rex rancher, RAMSEY (Anna Paquin) loves the challenge of driving a herd of longhorns with her father, Butch, and her little brother Nash. Ramsey has a lively, outgoing personality—she likes good jokes, tells a mean story and has a soft spot for those in need.
RAPTORS (Dave Boat, Carrie Paff, Calum Mackenzie Grant and John Ratzenberger) prey on the prized herd of longhorns that belong to Butch and his Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Raptors—or Rustlers, as Butch calls them—sport wiry, feathered bodies and hardly compare in size or strength to a T-Rex. But as a group, the Raptors pose quite a threat, and even a T-Rex may need to call in reinforcements before tangling with them.
Opening across the Philippines on Nov. 25, “The Good Dinosaur” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International through Columbia Pictures.

Close encounters with dinosaurs in Jurassic World
When Jurassic World finally opens at Isla Nublar, humans are now ready for the closer encounters with the dinosaurs. It has already been 22 years after the closing of Jurassic Park due to horrific events. We'll see more encounters in the recently-released posters featuring Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt.
The genetically-modified dinosaurs are the latest attraction in Jurassic World. See full posters below where Bryce Dollas Howard squares off with a T-Rex, an aquatic dinosaur chases a shark in a large aquarium, and Chris Pratt rides a motorbike along with running raptors.
Cast also features Nick Robinson and Ty Simpkins. The film also stars Jake Johnson, Irrfan Khan, Vincent D'Onofrio, BD Wong, Omar Sy, Judy Greer, Katie McGrath, Lauren Lapku and Andy Buckley. Directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly.
Opening across the Philippines on June 10, 2015 in 3D, “Jurassic World” will be distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures. See the trailer below:

Know the dinosaurs in the JURASSIC WORLD movie
Learned that it's already 22 years after the original Jurassic Park movie and I'm seeing comments that Starlord (Chris Pratt) joins the care of dinosaurs in captivity in the latest movie by Steven Spielberg. Opening June 10, 2015, the Philippines would be getting entrance tickets earlier than the rest of the world.
Jurassic World opens the gates to the people for amusement and education until one dinosaur breaks loose. As we all know, the T-Rex is always and has been the most dangerous predator in the park living with the other dinosaurs. Know some of them here:
