FINAL DESTINATION 5 movie review

we all want to die peacefully. but if you're going to see a movie like Final Destination 5, make sure that you have a healthy heart because you're in for very violent scenes not good for a weak heart. Warner Bros. Pictures gives the 5th installment of the most morbid film series, opening in Philippine theaters on August 24 2011.

it was just a company retreat until Sam Lawton (Nicholas D'Agosto) sees a vision as they got all killed in a tragic downfall of the Golden Gate bridge. one by one, they meet death in his vision but he was very thankful enough that it was just a dream. but a strong gut feeling holds him that they could not really escape death in each of their time just right after that his vision came true.

cheating death is not really easy for them. unimaginable and very unfortunate events came to them one by one adding to the stress and depression they experience from the death of their coworkers. and they happen in the best areas that you might also dwell -- the spa, the gym, a medical appointment -- anything goes. and until they figure out how to escape it, but still somebody has to go next.

the scenes on this movie is more realistic than the previous 2 movies because the death machinery is more possible and believable than choreographed by an evil power. the 3D graphics are beautiful and the killing scenes are very believable. i almost think that were the producers of this movie are frustrated killers? i wonder why they have started this movie and made it into a series. also be prepared with paddings and ear plugs because you might be hit hard by those beside you and deafened by the screams and shouts at the theater.

treatments you deserve at The Skin Sanctuary

The busy streets of Makati provides us with free radicals that greatly harm the skin. And with the tiring routines from morning till night, everyone deserves a rest. And if you need peace for your skin, you can run to the Skin Sanctuary. The new skin clinic in the city that offers good services that will protect your skin.

In my visit last Friday, it's good to have their Chief Dermatologist, Dr. Coco Tiongson, who will give you an analysis and kind enough to suggest what treatment is good for you. As for me, she suggested that I get an SS Rediscover (Basic Facial) and the SS Refresh (Diamond Peel) with Firming Mask.

They also have other services like SS Reassure (Hypoallergenic Facial), and the SS Revive (Age-defying Facial). Other than the face, they also have services like SS Resculpt (Mesotherapy) to quickly shed unwanted pounds. The SS Remediate (Sclerotherapy) removes unsightly and painful varicose veins. Guests wanting to get rid of fine lines may opt for the SS Recoup (Botox injections).

As necessary in walk-in aesthetic service providers, The Skin Sanctuary has resident dermatologists that give consultation and you're assured that you are in professional practice. Procedures include wart cautery, skin punch biopsy, and intralesional steroid injections for stubborn pimples. After my facial, Dr. Tiongson has prescribed guaranteed safe topical products that will enhance and maintain good skin.

The place is neat and the clinic bed is very comfortable. And most of all for an establishment that offers service, the staff are very friendly and will really take care of you.

As I end, you can visit The Skin Sanctuary from August to September to avail of their introductory prices and the free consultation from the resident dermatologists. For inquiries and appointments, please contact (02) 906-0368 or (0949) 434-5239. The Skin Sanctuary is located at 1047 Metropolitan Ave., San Antonio Village, Makati City.

COWBOYS AND ALIENS movie review

it's another alien abduction story but now they are here for our gold. COWBOYS AND ALIENS from United International Pictures combines two veteran action stars, Harrison Ford (Indiana Jones, Star Wars) and Daniel Craig (007: Casino Royale), take on to busting aliens who were suspects in the disappearance of their families and friends. the wild west was not fully equipped against the high-tech gadgets and terrifying aliens.

at first, Jake Lonergan (Craig) was abducted by aliens but has been released and doesn't remember anything. on land, he is an outlaw searched by the government especially Woodrow Dolarhyde (Ford) for stealing gold. but as they found out that they can benefit each other, they have worked together along with other outlaws, redskins and a special weapon that Jake had stolen from his abduction.

if you want to see it, it was just a plain western movie. imagine Wild Wild West, Transformers and Independence Day combined.

COWBOYS AND ALIENS opens in Philippine Theaters on August 10 distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.
