Thor Ragnarok (2017) PG (not really a review)

Image
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 ...

I Saw The Light: The Hank Williams Story (2015) PG-13

Image
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. ...

Kong: Skull Island (PG-13) 2017- Fantasy/Science fiction film (It should be R-13)

Image
( source ) Parents need to know that  Kong: Skull Island  is a very violent, action-packed reboot of the King Kong story. Set in the 1970s, the movie follows a group of scientists on a mission to survey a mysterious island in Southeast Asia. That's where they encounter several dangerous giant creatures, including an ape trying to protect his habitat (there are also giant birds, a spider, an octopus, and reptilian creatures). Things get pretty brutal, with victims being dismembered, stomped on, eaten, and tossed around; helicopters also crash and are ripped apart. So you can expect a high body count, with scene after scene of jump-worthy action, death, and gore. The language can also be strong, with one use of "f--k," plus several uses of "s--t," "ass," "bitch," etc. There's also some social drinking, but sex is limited to embraces and very brief implied prostitution in a couple of scenes set in Vietnam and Thailand.  Tom Hiddleston ,...

( source ) Jessica Chastain(Lady Lucille Sharpe), Tom Hiddleston(Sir Thomas Sharpe, Baronet), Mia Wasikowska(Miss Edith Cushing) and Charlie Hunnam(Dr. Alan McMichael, Opthalmologist) From The Hollywood Reporter Directed by:  Guillermo del Toro Written by:  Guillermo del Toro  and  Matthew Robbins The weather was gloomy because Typhoon Koppu known locally as Lando was raging mad and one of the transformers in our village short circuited or something.  I don't exactly know what happened, but there was a power outage in our area.  We waited for my brother's family to arrive then the three of us, my folks and I, went to the CommerCenter at Filinvest City in Alabang to see what was playing.  Crimson Peak was one of them.  Dad and I heard the review from CNN earlier so we chose it.  We were the first three to buy tickets for our time slot and there were about nine others who watched it with us. The others wanted it to be sc...

THOR The Dark World (2013)

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...
