Movies in the Eyes of the Beholder

It's the second day of screening of Thor: Ragnarok today in the Philippines and since I was a bit stressed at work I decided to treat myself. I know it's not payday yet but even with my dwindling resources I marched to the ticket booth and asked for a ticket. Lo and behold I walked away from the booth with an IMAX ticket (so much for being frugal). I bought the IMAX one because SM Cinema (in Clark) is offering 100 pesos off Thor: Ragnarok's IMAX tickets, so why not take it. This installment is mainly about the prophecy of Ragnarok or the destruction of Asgard. Of course would not let that happen, right? But then Hela the Goddess of Death came along and destroyed Thor's Mighty Hammer.

Climate related movies appeal to me as I would like to see how people make decisions when everything looks impossible especially with the impending doom drawing near. Would people set aside their moral values in order to survive? Or would they stick to what is right whatever the odds?

It would be great if we can control the weather for the greater good but what we can't control are the bad intentions of some just to get the upper hand. I expected that the movie would draw sympathetic emotions from me especially after the storms passed and how survivors would get back up to bui...

Poster taken from Star Cinema Website Hey guys, I have to apologize if I have not been blogging for a long time. I had a lot of good things going on lately that takes my time off writing for you guys. Anyway, I had the chance to watch " Last Night " with my friends at SM Clark last Saturday (September 30, 2017). This stars Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga and was written by actress Bela Padilla and directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal . The movie starts of with Piolo standing on the ledge of the Jones Bridge with the attempt to jump off and probably end his life but he saw Toni asking for help which foiled his plans. They would later on plan on continuing their attempt at ending their life because of their own reasons. They brainstorm about dramatic ways to die and they agreed of doing this together. Piolo then develop a feeling with Toni's character that holds him back from the plan they originally concocted. Only for Piolo's character to find out that he has be...
