Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(at least h

Transformers: The Last Knight 2017 ‧ Science fiction film/Thriller ‧ 2h 30m Humans are at war with the Transformers, and Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving the future lies buried in the secrets of the past and the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Now, it's up to the unlikely alliance of Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), Bumblebee, an English lord (Anthony Hopkins) and an Oxford professor (Laura Haddock) to save the world. Release date: 21 June 2017 (Philippines) Director: Michael Bay Based on: Transformers; by Hasbro Budget: 260 million USD Music composed by: Steve Jablonsky Bonifacio High Street Central Square Cinemas This long-awaited movie is worth it.  Yes, it's still very long even if Michael Bay shortened it(a little more than 2 1/2 hours), but the scenes were pretty exciting, so I didn't notice the time.  For a non-expert or ordinary viewer I could say I love the special effects. As for the story?  It needs work.  Earth=Unic

Initial release: 11 September 2015 Director: Marc Abraham Budget: $13 million US Box office: $1.8 million US Screenplay: Marc Abraham Story by: Colin Escott Mom and I have been ill since Sunday, so except for a few spurts of productiveness, I had to put all work aside to just focus on healing.  Except for the news and that wonderful French Open Men's Singles Final, we missed out on watching our favourite TV programs because we were too weak to watch anything.  I was able to update my social media sites, but...anyways, enough of these useless info... I chanced upon this movie because dad was watching this.  He just came from breakfast with friends and he was resting a bit.  He was quite impressed with "Loki" and we both wondered if this was shown in the Philippines.  "Where were we when this was shown?" We were moved as the story progressed, but found a lot of things off and odd.  There were many great and wonderful things that Mr. Hank
