THE HANGOVER part 2 movie review

much-awaited sequel to one of the most hilarious movies of 2009, The Hangover part 2 will never fail to make you laugh at your seats. the wolf pack which is composed of Doug (Justin Bartha), Phil (Bardley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Stu (Ed Helms) is out for another problem while getting lost in Bangkok.

as Stu (Elms) gets ready for his marriage to a foreign muse in Thailand, of course the wolf pack as his best friends has to be there. however, Alan should be left behind after the bad things happened in Las Vegas. in this case, Alan felt bad and don't know how to deal or accept it. then again, since the wolf pack had their guilt for what they will be doing to Alan, they tagged him again to fly to Bangkok.

wedding preparations are almost done and they're only waiting for the day itself. as the boys went for a night out, along with the bride's brother, Teddy (Mason Lee), unplanned things happen. a tour in Bangkok has been one of the most unforgettable nights they had -- and a very unexplainable one.

the groom should be at the wedding. even worse, the brother (Mason Lee) has to be there too! otherwise, Stu will be damned by the bride's father for life. other than that, they have to face a whole lot of problems which they encountered in Bangkok. like setting fire a whole compound of bars and night clubs, Stu has a tattoo on his face, getting involved with a monk and with a drug syndicate.

things have really gone wrong when they're are in Bangkok. and things really come as you don't expect it. they have solved their problems and Stu's wedding went fine, with blessings from the father.

but still, memories are kept during their stay in Bangkok. and Teddy has all the evidence that they had the time of their life. and that's what you have to find out.

amidst of all the things to enjoy in Bangkok, girls, sex, vices, etc. have been displayed in the movie. i'm thankful that they rated this R-18. but still a good laugh, the R-18 content rises until the end of the show.

The Hangover Part 2 opens on June 8, 2011 in Philippine cinemas, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

KUNG FU PANDA 2 movie review

in sequel to the action packed beginnings of the Kung Fu Panda, Po (Jack Black) fulfills another destiny as the Dragon Warrior fighting against the greed of an evil peacock, Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), who's up to use the power of the great invention of fireworks.

Lord Shen wants to rule over China with the amusement of fireworks. and he will use this to break those who wish to stop him. prophecies foretold that a creature in black and white will destroy him and will bring back peace in all of China.

as much as our hero is capable to defeat the forces that protect Lord Shen, Po struggles in the memory of his origins. from this segment, we are traced back on how he was left in the custody of Mr. Ping (James Hong). he wants answers to be given to him and that stops him from fighting the only source which is Lord Shen himself.

but Master Shifu's (Dustin Hoffman) teaching are just in time. focus and inner peace are the key to victory of the defenders of justice. this helped Po in accomplishing his destiny. with the help of the Furious 5 Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Crane (David Cross) and Viper (Lucy Liu), they have saved the Masters of Kung Fu (Jean Claude Van Damme, Victor Garber) and all of China.

we will be amazed by new Kung Fu moves by Po and touched by his life story. the cutest panda you will ever see stuffing his mouth with more food and awesomeness. for a short running time of just 90 minutes, you will be completely satisfied on the pacing and story lines. you will be asking for PART 3!

Kung Fu Panda 2 will be shown in Philippine theaters and IMAX 3D starting May 26, 2011 by Dreamworks Pictures. distributed by United International Pictures.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4 movie review

Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) is off to his new quest and now to search for the fountain of youth in the fourth installment of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides which opens today at cinemas nationwide. brought to us by Walt Disney and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.

a new treasure hunt is on from the valid reason for the existence of the fountain of youth. and now, Jack Sparrow is off to get his lion's share of the fountain. but he has to be with the crew of Queen Anne's Revenge which is led by the feared Captain Blackbeard (Ian McShane). his past lover, Angelica (Penelope Cruz), also joins them in the quest.

in search of the fountain, they will encounter deceiving mermaids and long, difficult jungle trails. at the end is the treasure that can bring eternal youth and power. as others have also made their own expeditions, it was a struggle of who comes first. not only a race but also a greed on religion. Spanish expedition who came to the cave of the fountain of youth had other beliefs. thus, they destroyed the sanctuary and the banished the fountain forever.

i think this movie lacks action sequence, weird sea creatures and amazing scenes and effects. but it can stand alone from the previous Pirates movies. mainly centered on Jack Sparrow as he was the lead character. costumes and make up are all good especially with Blackbeard. as drawn in Spongebob Squarepants, they really look very much alike. there is a slight unnecessary content on the movie. just as i thought that they will look back on the love story of Jack Sparrow and Angelica but it was something else.

check out Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides showing in all cinemas. brought to us by Walt Disney Pictures International.
