THE WOLVERINE movie review

it was a great privilege to see the latest mutant movie The Wolverine before it hits the theaters. this newest flick shows us Logan's (Hugh Jackman) vulnerability, physical and emotional and how he rises stronger than ever before.
living at 3 generations in Japan, Logan is summoned by the person he saved during the war. upon death of who he trusted as a friend, he discovers plans that will drive him to his mortality which he wanted more. this to catch up to his ever-love Jean Grey who troubles him every time he sleeps. evenmore, to protect great inheritance passed on to younger generation. confronting forces that prevent him from saving the sole heir to the riches, he discovers he is lured in to a trap that will make him choose to live as a mortal.
the action filled movie deliberately showed us the Wolverine's power, strength and vulnerability in one screen. following big fight sequences, especially the bullet train scene, providing more entertainment is the humor factor that goes after. the stranger Logan has to learn many about the culture of the place he's in. making him more human like we never knew.

villains Viper, the Silver Samurai were really neat however i didn't feel much about Viper. villains use each other for one's benefit. it would be mistaken he will be Poison Ivy or somebody else until she sticks her tongue out.
Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova)
in general, i liked The Wolverine and surely i recommend that everyone watch it. may it in 3D or 2D, the story is really amazing and fight scenes give really much attention to our hero. it was not even tiring to see and you'll be waiting so much more. (a sequel maybe?)

just a piece of advise, don't go yet when the movie is done. you have to stay a little during the credits for something to watch out for.

opening July 25 worldwide, directed by James Marigold for 20th Century Fox, distributed in the Philippines by 20th Century Fox Philippines.

THE LEGO MOVIE

THE LEGO MOVIE would be the most exciting movie ever assembled. took more than decades before the movie was ever conceptualized. i remember playing stacking different bricks. didn't have the chance to play with little character toys but almost the same that create stories on my own out of tiny figures.
for this movie, a regular MasterBuilder figure is mistakenly pushed to an adventure in order to defeat an evil Lego tyrant that threats to glue the world. joined by other characters from The Avengers, Justice League, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and more, they will altogether face the greatest battle among Lego figures.

an heir is born! Royal Baby watched by millions

4:24PM of July 22, 2013, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton welcomes the 8lbs, 6oz baby boy at the St. Mary's Hospital in London, United Kingdom.
the whole world at watched, the gender of the baby was never announced in public until the baby is born. thus the birth of the new heir to the throne of his grandfather, Prince Charles and new-dad Prince William, made people betting.

the Royal Palace was happy of the new addition to the family and of course the wellness of the birthing of Catherine.

all everyone is waiting for now is the announcement of the name and the presentation of photos or the baby itself for public viewing. it would be a very exciting event but very difficult for the securities of the Royal Palace to keep the privacy of the family for now. but i would like to send my regards and well wishes now to the baby. i wonder how would the couple choose the name? would they follow traditional royal names like Albert, Phillip or others? or would it be more of a celebrity like? i remember David Beckham sent his interest and pushes that the couple names the baby after him being sports fans themselves. but who knows? :)

preparations are now on at Buckingham Palace in welcoming the royal baby. gun salutes and great feasts await.

from book to screen: BAKIT HINDI KA CRUSH NG CRUSH MO?

from book and acknowledgements online, Internet action star, Ramon Bautista's book "Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo?" gets its debut on the big screen top-billed by one of Star Cinema's leading pairing of Kim Chiu and Xian Lim which is also their first on-screen team-up.
the movie of the same title, tells the story of Sandy (Kim Chiu) moving on from a dreadful relationship with ex-BF (Kean Cipriano) and trying to compose herself improving the business of new boss Alex (Xian Lim). both Alex and Sandy's flaws in their own fields let them teach other on how to fix it. as intelligent Sandy helps Alex to save his business and Alex helps the ugly duckling Sandy to prove to her ex-BF that she didn't deserve to get her heart broken.

the book serves as a guide for everyone how to answer that silly but thought-provoking question about relationships. a checklist of reasons that we would agree or not but would definitely laugh at when we are guilty of it.

Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo is a rom-com directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal, another movie to hit theaters on July 31. watch the trailer here:
