2 GUNS movie review

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington star in graphic novel, 2 GUNS, distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines. about two military guys off to stop a drug cartel. then their alliance get shaky and the discovery was so alarming for both of them since they didn't know that each goes as undercover.

in a mix of action, CIA and intelligence with a touch of humor, the two were at their fun acting to give life to Stig (Wahlberg) and Bobby (Washington). i wonder how it is written in the comic novel. in the action of Mexican drug syndicates and American police agents, it will be a close-to-reality reflection of their society. it's just feels like me as a Filipino, was pretty amazed in this operation and thinking if we have these kind of stories in real life.

curses and be-littling words that would describe enemies is how you would tell about the scripting in 2 Guns. but the underlying story of friendship between two people that go for a common goal has been interesting and has successfully resolved the differences they have.

2 GUNS is directed by Baltasar Kormákur, opening September 25. distributed by Columbia Pictures Philippines.

RIDDICK movie review

when the third of a series of RIDDICK's (Vin Diesel) adventures, he now tries to survive in an alien planet, dealing with new lifeforms. more so, as a fugitive in intergalactic security, he is now hunted by a new breed of mercenaries and another soldier captained by a man in his past.

being one of the first people who saw Riddick in the cinema, thankful that Solaire Resort and Casino was able to host the screening at Greenbelt 3. as Riddick's adventures started very interesting, since he finds a way to survive on his own while surrounded by alien predators. he also came about to adapt to the surroundings, despite the lack of vegetation and food. he also came to be able to train a wolf-like creature to be able to assist in his lonesome.

the story became a little boring with a little human intervention. with Batista (Dave Bautista) growing some hair and going radical in his looks, he was someone to be laughed out about. imagine an epitome of strong man with the image from bullying weaker characters from a wrestling show, he showed the weaknesses himself. but he stayed longer so fans would not get disappointed to see their idol. somehow i liked the effects with the animals and all.

RIDDICK opened September 18 in theaters nationwide. again, thanks to Solaire Resort and Casino for hosting the event. we even had freebies given away for promos. oh i miss that fun.

Miracle Art opens in Manila

i always loved art but i never had a fun experience getting "into" the art. the MIRACLE ART EXHIBIT which was installed in Lucky Chinatown Mall in Binondo was a lot of fun because of you can actually be part of the huge murals and capture the moment. you might as well blow it up and have it framed and hang the new art in your home too.

ROBOCOP on the works for 2014

in total nostalgia over this movie coming in 2014. i have been a fan of ROBOCOP and it is nice to know that the movie will have its remake after nearly 30 years.

Official Poster

to refresh, Robocop is about a valiant law enforcer that was badly injured during an encounter with the wrong doers in his city. in order to preserve his especially the costume too. the gear has been upgraded and grew some abs, compared from the original armor. i just find it way cooler than the original as it was looking more metallic than a more human-superhero approach. not to mention that his guns go out of the thighs which is a great iconic feature. i also like it in black.

Samuel L. Jackson and Abbie Cornish star in this movie that for now i'm sure people would be lining up to the cinemas. distributed by Columbia Pictures in the Philippines. check out the trailer below.
