Director's Club Cinema 1, SM City, BF P'que. Short and simple:  This is the best adaptation so far(I love EVER AFTER too.  I am trying to look for the piece I wrote about it.  I hope to find it soon).  The on-screen chemistry of all the actors, most especially that of Lily James and Richard Madden, is very evident.  It's nice to relearn an old story and feel light in the end. Lily James reminds me of a very young Jessica Lange and a little bit of Grace Kelly.  Richard Madden's appeal is like "the boy next door".  Cate Blanchett is perfect for her role.  Ben Chaplin is debonair like as Ella's dad and Stellan Skarsgård  makes the Grand Duke seem vile. "Have courage and be kind!"  - Cindrella's Mother Kudos to the whole cast, crew and Disney!  Trivia:   Lily James was set to be one of the wicked step-sisters, Anastasia.

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...
