Bonifacio High Street Cinemas, Central Square, BGC Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.- WWW In Thor 2, it was implied or established that Thor, Loki and Odin were not really gods, but a highly advanced species who likened to gods.  In Thor Ragnarok they are back to being Norse gods. This movie made all of us happy.  It has two strings of after credits teasers and the script was well-written, with the best line coming from a Make-A-Wish-Kid . We had lots of laughs(including the part where they seemingly promoted to the Filipino audience the Vice Ganda-Pia Wurtzbach-Daniel Padilla Christmas movie---LOL---I'm sure most of the moviegoers at the Bonifacio High ...

When Ignacio de Loyola was cancelled at a certain theatre,  the lady I have spoken with said I was late by one day.  If I had inquired about it then, they wouldn't have cancelled the showing because they believe in and value the "power of one " so I hope they won't stop the reshowing of APOCALYPSE CHILD . #apocalypsechild #sidlucero #francisfordcoppola #anaabadsantos #baler #surfing Sid Lucero talks about being ‘bastos,’ exposed in new film 10 Things You Need to Know Before Seeing ‘Doctor Strange’  ( source ) ( source ) These two films are being shown side-by-side.  The former is shown at one theatre alternating with the latter, while the latter is being is shown at all the remaining theatres of the cineplexes. Is that fair? You can't blame the owners of the cineplexes.  They go where the money is, and obviously, they think Dr. Strange will "bring home the bacon". The former is a drama about a man who was made to believ...

Alan Turing , the Inventor of what we call nowadays as COMPUTERS; He was a mathematical genius who was prejudged because he was a homosexual and was given hormonal therapy to "cure" his being a homosexual.  Since the therapy was not doing him any good, he committed suicide in 1954. Tsk, tsk, tsk!  Imagine, he broke the German Enigma Ciphers/Cyphers, but he was sentenced because of indecency.   Where is the justice in that? I agree with Benedict Cumberbatch. He should be in banknotes!

The film is based on a non-fiction account of the FBI's dealings with Bulger written by former  Boston Globe  reporters Dick Lehr and Gerald O'Neill and titled  Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI, and a Devil's Deal . ( source ) After more than a month of waiting, finally, I've been able to watch Johnny Depp's latest movie called BLACK MASS.  There was no dull moment, but there were a lot of changes of emotions: scared, happy, thrilled, frightened, excited, scared again, et cetera, et cetera, then relieved.  Relieved?  Why so?  Well, when true to life characters are being portrayed by actors and you momentarily forget you are just watching a movie, it would seem li...

12 YEARS A SLAVE deserves all the accolades and awards it received.  It opened my eyes to a lot of things.  Some of the things I knew about slavery and human trafficking have been sanitized.  Human trafficking is real and until now, there are people who are being taken out of their comfort zones being sold.  Some become prostitutes and some are forced into labor.  Like this movie, some even do both, even more. Solomon Northup was born free in New York City.  He was more than comfortable.  In fact, he was affluent.  He was also very smart and had a very loving family and when he was kidnapped by those demented beings who pretended to be his fans, the things he thought he did not have to experience crushed all his hopes and dreams. Chiwetel Ejiofor , for me, even if I have so much respect and admiration for Matthew McConaughey, IS the best actor among all contenders.   He made me see how people who were misquoting the Holy Bible, ...
