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 ...

( source ) The Easter Eggs and References in Star Trek: Beyond  “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations”, a Vulcan saying. This film is awesome.  I am not a certified Trekkie, but I have been watching the Star Trek series since I was little.  When Patrick Stewart "took over", I seldom watched it.  It wasn't because I did not like him, but I just didn't have time to watch his series all of the time. When Star Trek rebooted, I decided to watch it again.  I like the way it was retold, but of course, even with the close to lousy(but hi-tech during their time) special effects, nothing really beats the original. It's a good thing that the original members of the cast are still honored "here" and it's good to meet new members as well. A pleasant addition to the cast is Sofia Boutella, an Algerian dancer/actress/gymnast.  She has lots of fight scenes and her moves are graceful, but fierce. The best lines were uttered ...

EXPERIENCING THOR: THE DARK WORLD at the SM MALL OF ASIA Enjoy THOR The Dark World in four different ways Sequels, more often than not, are overshadowed by the prequel.  This is not the case with THOR The Dark World . When my almost seven-year-old nephew and I talked about this, I told him the reason why it is better than the first one is because it was carefully weaved and well-planned.  The story had some direction and is really interwoven with the other Marvel stories like Iron Man, Captain America, The Avengers, Incredible Hulk and the rest of the Earth's Mightiest Heroes. ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ ✪ Odin in this movie told Loki that though they are far superior than mortals or creatures of other realms, they are NOT gods. They are born, they live and die like humans do.  Loki replied, "Give or take five thousand years..."  I think  this is in response to what Captain America said, "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm prett...
