Avengers and Marvel fans unite at SM Cinema for Infinity War

Marvel fans assemble at the SM Megamall Cinema lobby to get a first look on the most-awaited Marvel movie of the year, Avengers: Infinity War, that will arrive in theaters April 25.

Cosplayers and avid movie goers had a feast for everything Marvel -- my mom and I are fangirling and fanboying on these awesome cosplayers and the gears are amazing. The biggest cosplay was Thanos that stands around 6ft and in the details were on point.

With Ant-Man

With Spider-Man

With Quicksilver

With Captain America and Doctor Strange

When we entered the cinema, we really don't have a clue of what's going to happen aside from just watching the Marvel event in Singapore. But lest that we knew that we will be also get a closer encounter with Anthony Russo (director of Avengers: Infinity War) along with Karen Gillan (Nebula) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) via Skype call!

Anthony Russo (Director)

Karen Gillan (Nebula)

Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange)

We were really surprised to see them on screen and they were so jolly as they entertain questions from avid fans. They love the Filipino fans and some time they wish to be here too. We knew that Robert Downey Jr. was with them too but he was entertaining another interview on the side. It's still good since this was a rare time to see them and conduct some interview.

I also got a chance to win a Doctor Strange table display from Petron's raffle and you can collect all 5 featuring Iron-Man, Captain America, Hulk, and Thor. Many of us also won tickets to see Avengers: Infinity War from Globe.

Thank you SM Cinema for this wonderful experience!

Incredible trailer for the Incredibles 2!

Disney and Pixar is making new waves in the release of the trailer of The Incredibles 2!

In this new adventure, our favorite superhero family balances work and homemaking as Bob was left with the kids as Elastigirl takes off to fight crime with a new villain. Watch the trailer below:


Awesome and incredible is definitely how to put it and here are a few takes on the trailer:

Violet gets control as a bigger sister for Dash, teaching him about proper table manners.

Felt poor for Bob when his ego was stepped on as the government solely chooses Elastigirl for the job.

New house, new life! Dash loves mom's new job.

Bob's parenting skills which many can relate to.

There's Edna Mode, darlings. Nuff said.

And at least we know now that Frozone already knows where to find his supersuit.

Watch The Incredibles 2 in theaters this June!

A QUIET PLACE movie review

If you are not fond of silent movies, you will love how genius A Quiet Place is. This thriller with John Krasinski and Emily Blunt gets you still in your seats and will have you motionless for about 95 minutes throughout the duration of the movie.

These are the reasons why this brilliant picture should be watched by thrill seekers:

1. The deafening silence is riveting. From the beginning of the movie up to its end, you will be in a quiet setting that you won't dare make a sound.

2. You are not safe with a small movement or a shriek from your seat. It is also very much advisable for you to turn off your cellphone or into airplane mode so any sound will not

3. Demogorgons and aliens combined. Stranger Things and Aliens movie fans can clearly see what I am talking about when they see the movie starting April 11.

4. Everybody is in unison with their reactions to what's happening in the movie. Simple shots and events in the lives of the Abbotts introduce danger that would give the same reaction to the faces of each viewer.

5. John Krasinski and Emily Blunt are quiet great parents.

6. This movie would be a great video game franchise including the story background. Just like Sims only scarier and intense, dark and exciting.

See A Quiet Place and #StayQuiet in cinemas starting April 11.

A Series of Unfortunate Events returns today!

Netflix's Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events returns to a new season, sadly. The series chronicles the life of the Baudelaire children and how Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) tries to get their great inheritance.

Guardian after guardian, the Baudelaires were fortunate enough, sort of, to escape Count Olaf and his devious ways to get their fortune. What more could possibly go wrong this season? Here's the trailer if you don't dare look away:
Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events is a good mixture of comedy and adventure that you Neflix fans are looking for. Below are 7 reasons why we should stream today.

The return of Count Olaf (Neil Patrick Harris) as a master of disguise and there will be more this season.

The children can still manage themselves from Count Olaf and his minions.

The missing Quagmire orphan and the connecting spyglass has got us very curious and why do they have the same fate as the Baudelaires.

The humor. It is intentional to have over-the-top humor since it's based on reality. There’s plenty of silliness and sarcasm to go around in this darkly comedic mystery that almost everyone gets to be funny -- yes, even the (not so) little (anymore) Sunny Baudelaire.

New sets. The Baudelaires could be in more places than usual. They may be finding new clues solving the mystery of their deceased parents.

The guests artists. This season includes (but are not limited to) Lucy Punch, Sara Rue, Tony Hale, Robbie Amell, David Alan Grier, and Nathan Fillion.

New adventures. Now that the Baudelaires are smarter and more experienced in Count Olaf’s ways, the action is more suspenseful and intense. The new season is based on books five through nine of the novel series: The Austere Academy, The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, The Hostile Hospital, and The Carnivorous Carnival.

Malina Weissman, Louis Hynes, Presley Smith, Patrick Warburton and K. Todd Freeman (among others) return for season two. New additions to the cast include (but are not limited to) Lucy Punch, Nathan Fillion, Tony Hale, Robbie Amell, Sara Rue, Roger Bart and David Alan Grier. Featuring ten cinematic one-hour episodes, season two of A Series of Unfortunate Events launches globally Friday, March 30, on Netflix.

A visit at the Bl. Ivan Merz Reliquarium

Today is Holy Monday and a blessed day to visit the Bl. Ivan Merz Reliquarium Home of Sacred Relics in Marikina City. A small home turned into a mini-museum of sacred relics from all over the world.

You will be required to take off your foot wear when entering the Reliquarium to maintain the cleanliness and sanctity of the place. Take a glimpse of the relics or say a little prayer of your special intentions.

There are more than 1,000 relics found inside the Reliquarium, the third most in the Philippines. And the relics are coming from the bodies, vestments, place of birth, missions and my favorite section, from the Holy Land. It also includes relics from the apostles, and early Christians recognized for their holiness.

Relics are arranged according to the date of saints' feast days from January 1 to December 31. I learned that St. Rita of Cascia's feast day is also my birthday.

Relics of St. Rita of Cascia - Feast Day - May 22

You can also recognize some relics coming from famous saints like these from St. Pio de Pietrelcina, St. John Paul II, St. Teresa of Calcutta, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Valentine, St. Therese of the Child Jesus, St. Ignatius of Loyola, and St. Faustina Kowalska.

Relics of St. Pio de Pietrelcina and St. John Paul II

Relics of St. Therese of the Child Jesus

  
But the center of the Reliquarium is the relics from the cross of the Crucifixion and there are secondary relics on the nails and thorns used in the passion of Christ.
