PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4 movie review

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is off to his new quest and now to search for the fountain of youth in the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides which opens today at cinemas nationwide. brought to us by Walt Disney and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

a new treasure hunt is on from the valid reason for the existence of the fountain of youth. and now, Jack Sparrow is off to get his lion's share of the fountain. but he has to be with the crew of Queen Anne's Revenge which is led by the feared Captain Blackbeard (Ian McShane). his past lover, Angelica (Penelope Cruz), also joins them in the quest.

in search of the fountain, they will encounter deceiving mermaids and long, difficult jungle trails. at the end is the treasure that can bring eternal youth and power. as others have also made their own expeditions, it was a struggle of who comes first. not only a race but also a greed on religion. Spanish expedition who came to the cave of the fountain of youth had other beliefs. thus, they destroyed the sanctuary and the banished the fountain forever.

i think this movie lacks action sequence, weird sea creatures and amazing scenes and effects. but it can stand alone from the previous Pirates movies. mainly centered on Jack Sparrow as he was the lead character. costumes and make up are all good especially with Blackbeard. as drawn in Spongebob Squarepants, they really look very much alike. there is a slight unnecessary content on the movie. just as i thought that they will look back on the love story of Jack Sparrow and Angelica but it was something else.

check out Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides showing in all cinemas. brought to us by Walt Disney Pictures International.

living for 100 DAYS

if you were asked, "what if you only have 100 days to live?" the generic answers would be: forgive everyone who sinned you, travel a lot, live healthy, pray for another 100 days, donate to charity and everything good that you would think. but those who have a lot think about it. but what if you come from this kind of home:

they have been suffering for not just 100 days of their life. it's a lifetime. they want everything to improve, to be easier, to be a breeze. just like what Ana Manalastas had experienced and had made her stronger through the years. strong enough that she doesn't care anymore of what others may feel. she had become terrible in the eyes of others.

when she died in an accident, she had been rejected from Heaven and brought back to earth for a chance to correct what she had done. and she would do also the same things i've mentioned above. now she have to deal with everyone... as a child. to fulfill her mission with only 100 Days to Heaven.

this values-filled comedy-drama will try to capture the emotions and teach a valuable lesson to each and every viewer. starring Ms. Coney Reyes as Ana Manalastas, the insensitive and practical boss, who falls down from Heaven and Xyriel Manabat, as the young Ana Manalastas who will do the mission and learn something from it.

on May 9, lives will be changed and values will be formed. watch 100 Days to Heaven after TV Patrol World in ABS-CBN Primetime. Kuha mo?
