WORLD WAR Z movie review

based on a novel by Max Brooks, Brad Pitt takes on the role of Gerry Lane, a former United Nations employee who gets at war with a zombie pandemic and incidentally discovers a temporary treatment for the disease.
in World War Z, Gerry Lane is happy with his family going somewhere until a wave of zombies came attacking the streets and spreading the disease. and government measures of stopping them is intensified to bringing the whole world into a huge warzone. with his inquisitive nature, he was able to observe the occurrences and track a possible "cure" against the pandemic.
when i saw it, though i was not a zombie-flick fan myself, i was really amazed how people can be very creative of how zombies do what they do. their gestures and all, the way they infect and how they'll be eliminated. with this movie, i wasn't loathed with the falling arms and decaying bodies and i was fully aware of the items that go with the undead.
the suspense-factor is tolerable though i was hiding my eyes for a few moments. i tried to get the attention to the plot which i think is pretty good. the movie in 3D is also to watch out due to the artistic special effects. before i didn't had any interest on this movie but seeing it was not a disappointment

WORLD WAR Z opens June 19 in theaters nationwide, distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

MAN OF STEEL movie review

opening June 12 in the Philippines, Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan's MAN OF STEEL takes on their independent attack on how we knew about Superman. Warner Bros. Pictures must be very happy that most cinemas go with the hype of this much awaited movie this year. but as much of the expectations that i had when seeing the trailers, i think that the movie gave a different storyline on how we knew Clark and Superman.
of course starting with his birth at Krypton, we are told of the backstory of the technological advancement of the planet before its destruction. arriving on Earth, the young man discovers his extraordinary skills that would later on give hope to the earthlings from the annihilation of the people coming from his own planet. the movie on special effects is well done, making everything super at its execution. we are reintroduced to the alien existence of Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) in the world and how he has evolved and adapted to the nature the earth has.
but this movie i think didn't do much loyalty on how we know the story of Superman supposed to be. there is an awkward feeling you'll see him working already with Lois Lane (Amy Adams) on the earlier part when he is searching for clues of his existence then at the end, he just applied for a job position at the Daily Planet. confusing right?

Superman's new costume is all right but it doesn't seem to be very look very close to the Krptonians' attire in their own planet. it's like "Kal, wear this, people will love you in it" kind of thing. i was assuming that the fabric texture of his suit will give him more incredible power or even justify why he is bullet-proof. but nothing.

you'll have a new-branded Lois Lane in today's Superman movie. instead of a damsel-in-distress-kind of woman that Clark / Superman would be always chasing troubles out of, she is now a reformed character. more adventurous, and a new diplomat between humans and Kryptonians. talk about women-empowerment.
major characters in Clark Kent's life are not left out. Lana Lang will be part of this during his Smallville days. Lexcorp will also get a cameo somewhere before the end of the chaotic fights. if you want to enjoy Man of Steel, go ahead and enjoy the great effects that this movie has. Chris Nolan and Zack Snyder definitely succeeds in giving us a new feel of the superhero.
