Review:Up (Spoiler-free)



I loved this film.
I had the chance to watch it in 3D theater and I wasn't disappointed.
It was worth the extra 100php.
The story was touching and very entertaining.
The characters were cute and unique.
It made me think of my own life and made me realize that I was losing perspective.
I admit, some scenes made me cry.
It made me think of what my life would be like when I'm old.
This is definitely my new favorite animated movie.
Bring a friend, your family and loved ones to this movie.
I definitely recommend it.

Review:District 9



The movie started out as a bit boring.
It's not your typical alien movie.
I found it a bit difficult to understand the actors' accents but I got used to it by the middle of the film.
What was interesting about the film is that it showed just how frightening human nature can be.
It tackled the topic of xenophobia and I found it emotionally stirring.
I haven't seen a movie like this before and I found it intriguing.
The ending was very sad and my heart just went out for Wikus van de Merwe.
I would recommend it as a good movie to watch at home but probably not good enough to waste your money watching it on the big screen.

P.S.
This is my 100th post. Hurrah! ^_^

Review:GI Joe:Rise of the Cobras (spoiler free!)


This has got to be the best action movie I've seen so far this year.
I love it!
It's even better than Transformers 2.
I really liked the way they inserted the story background into the action scenes.
Very smooth flowing.
And the action stunts were sooooo cool.
Grabe.
Of course, it's unavoidable that they had to change some of the original storyline
and I found the acting a bit mababaw but that's ok.
Critics don't like it though. But I really enjoyed the film.
For more info, visit the official website or the ever so informative IMDB.
Hands down, human action scenes beats huge alien robots.

Thoughts on Grey's Anatomy Season 5

I have loved this show from the very beginning.
But somehow, as the new episodes are being shown, it seems like one of the previously important characters in the show is starting to fade into the background.
George O'Malley.
I mean,seriously, what is up with Shonda Rhimes?
Why does she refuse to give this character a more interesting role in the latest season?
I think the character started to deteriorate after he and Izzie broke up.
It's sad because he's one of the original cast members and it's starting to look like they're going to axe him from the show.

Another thing, why oh why did they make Callie pathetic?
I used to admire her character since I found her to be different from the other girls.
She's curvy and sassy.
But now she's just blah.

One good point about this season is that Mc Dreamy is finally ready to propose to Meredith.
The Merder teamup is probably the one constant thing about the show.
I also like the whole Lexie-Mc Steamy relationship.
I mean, will Mc Steamy finally have the guts to really fall in love?

Sigh.
I really hope that the storyline improves.
I don't care if Heigl leaves the show.
She's become too conceited anyway.
