Well, uhmmm looks like transformers ... with all those aliens and stuff. And well, while I enjoyed watching it, specially on some of it's comedic scenes. I know it could've used a little more depth. But its fun to see all those heroes we love all in one movie. Trying to work together despite their differences.

Note: That I'm no comic book fan... so, I guess you know where I am coming from. If you are a fan of them Marvel Heroes... well, I'm sure you would've been blown by now, seeing all of them on screen. :)

The Rise of the Guardians - 2012

Category: Movie

Genre: Animation / Adventure / Family

Director: Peter Ramsey

Writer: David Lindsay-Abaire, William Joyce

Producer: Dreamworks Animation

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Alec Baldwin, Isla Fisher, Chris Pine, Jude Law, Dakota Goyo, Khamani Griffin, Kamil McFadden, Georgie Grieve and more.

Tagline: Naughty, nice. You better believe.

Pitch, the evil spirit wants to assault and take over the Earth, and the Immortal Guardians (Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, Sandman) once again team up to protect the innocence of children all over the globe. (Based on a Children's Book Series by William Joyce).


This is a Christmas film that is not entirely about Santa Claus but of Jack Frost.  IT WAS GREAT! (although, I  didn't like the cinema we were in this time, it made the picture look old school) Either way, it was a good film... heartwarming. And even if it is simple, it makes way for its deep and profound message. I like the Russian doll with Santa Claus reminding Jack Frost of his "center".  It reminds me of our spiritual journey with Ikepono. :)This also reminds you to keep the "child" in you alive......

Producer: Universal Pictures, Imagine Entertainment, Relativity Media

Cast: Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Max Von Saydow, William Hurt, Mark Strong, Oscar Isaac, Danny Huston, Eileen Atkins, Mark Addy, Matthew Macfayden, Kevin Durand, Scott Grimes and more.

Tagline: The untold story behind the legend.


My favorite century, 13th (because of the number) in England, Robin Longstride and his hood confront the corruption in a local village which lead into the uprising of different lords and barons against the crow.


I love the movie. That I can probably watch it over and over again. I know a lot of things were not exactly "real" or wasn't based on history and other flaws... however from someone who doesn't pick up with history and tis and tat... it's still a good movie to watch. Great acting and cinematography. It has some parts that were emotional and were somehow thought provoking.

Please relax on the history. Of course to historians or people who are particular about things like that it's a  disappointment.

Quotes I Like:

Robin: If you're building for the future, you need to keep your foundations strong, laws of the land enslave the people to a king who demands loyalty but offers nothing in return, I've been to the South of France, Palestine and back, you build a kingdom the same way you build a cathedral from the ground up!

Robin: Rise and rise again until lambs become lions.

Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Tim Robbins, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi, Angela Bassett, Mike Doyle and more

Tagline: One of us.. becomes one of them.

A test pilot, named Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) was granted a mystical green ring that gives him superhuman powers. The source of power is from the Green Lantern Intergalactic Corps and he was admitted as member of the peace keeping squad of the universe.

I watched this with the LEAP Team. Which makes it great. We all came from our graduation weekend somewhere in Antipolo and our Coaches and our co-Leapers were with us to bond.

This movie sure has similar indications about the "Galactic Federation of Light" which makes it really cool for me. I'm not much of a comic fan... but I've heard the movie sticked to the story based on the comic. The movie isn't that amazing... however it brought a deep storyline about fear and will of humans.

Quotes I Like:

 Tomar-Re: Billions of years ago, a race of immortals harnessed the most powerful force in existence: the emerald energy of willpower. These immortals, the Guardians of the Universe, built a world from where they could watch over all of existence: the planet Oa. They divided the universe into 3600 sectors, a ring powered by the energy of will was sent to every sector of the universe to select a recruit. In order to be chosen by the ring, it is said that one must be without fear. Together, these 3600 recruits formed the intergalactic peacekeepers known as the Green Lantern Corps.

 Hal Jordan: The one thing a Green Lantern is supposed to be is fearless. That isn't me...
 Carol Ferris: You have the ability to overcome fear!

 Tomar-Re: Your will turns thought into reality. To master the ring you must learn to focus your will and create what you see in your mind. The ring's limits are only what you can imagine.

Hal Jordan: What is that?
 Tomar-Re: It is the energy generated from the central battery. It's power comes from the will of every living creature in the universe. This in turn charges your lantern which in turn charges your ring. Even your suit is comprised entirely of energy.
 Hal Jordan: What's with all the green?
 Tomar-Re: Green is the color of will. The guardians harnessed will because it is the strongest source of energy in the universe.


Hal Jordan: He said the ring would have not chosen me if it hadn't seen something.But I don't see it. Carol Ferris: I see it. I always have. The ring did not see that you are fearless. It saw that you have the ability to over come fear. It saw that you are courageous. And you are, just like your dad.

 Hal Jordan: You know... there is a saying in my planet, we say 'I am only human'. We say it because we are vulnerable, we say it because we are afraid, but that does not mean that we are weak.

 Hector Hammond: How wonderful that all it took for you to grow is the end of the world!

 Tomar-Re: Of all the Lanterns who have ever worn the ring, there was one whose light shined brightest. At first his humanity was thought to be a weakness, and yet it proved to be his greatest strength.

 Sinestro: Though his time wearing the ring has has been brief, Hal Jordan's defeat of Parallax will be remembered as long as the Corps exists. His actions are a reminder of why the ring chose each of us - to overcome fear, and destroy evil wherever it may hide. As Lanterns we must fight with all our will. Our wills have not always been united. It's time they were.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - 2003

Category: Movie

Genre: Fantasy / Heroes

Director: Stephen Norrington

Producer: Angry Films, International Production Company, JD Productions

Writer: Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neil

Tagline: A vampire... A killer with a kiss. This summer, the bad will fight for the good.


Cast: Sean Connery, Naseeruddin Shah, Peta Wilson, Tony Curran, Stuart Townsend, Shane West, Jason Flemyng, Richard Roxburgh, Max Ryan, Tom Goodman-Hill, and more.


What a genius this movie is! For those who enjoys them classic heroes, this would be a fun movie to watch. Set in a Victorian age world, Allan Quatermain (Sean Connery) a renowed adventurer living in Africa leads a team of extraordinary gentlemen to fight off the madman known as "The Fantom". They formed a League that is made up of the seafarer and inventor Captain Nemo, Mina Harker the vampire, an invisible man named Rodney Skinner, an American secret service agent Tom Sawyer, the ageless and invincible Dorian Gray, and the dangerous split personality of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde.

Even though it was made year 2003, it did not fade from being a modern film. I love how those classic characters have come to life in this modern day epic. Love love the cinematography. I love the imagination that comes along with this. I have not read the graphic novel but I know of the characters from the books I read from Stevenson, Twain, Verne and more. :)

It's a 4.5 because I think something's missing. Some additional greatness perhaps that could make it a 5?

X-Men: The Last Stand - 2006

Category: Movie

Genre: Sci-Fi / Action

Director: Brett Ratner

Writer: Simon Kinberg, Zak Penn

Producer: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, Marvel Enterprises, Donners Company and more.

Tagline: Evolution will make a last stand.

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Kelsey Grammer, James Marsden, Rebecca Romijin, Shawn Ashmore, Aaron Stanford, Ellen Page and more.

Overview and Review of the movie X-Men: The Last Stand.

The years have been good with the mutants and humans so far. They have institutionalized some laws about Mutants having a separate department for them in the government. The scientists found a cure for Mutants for them to be normal. A line was drawn amongst two camps of Mutants, the X-Men, which was led by Professor Charles Xavier, and the Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto.


As usual I enjoyed the fight scenes. Although I enjoyed that different characters were introduced but the swiftness of the film made it difficult to establish the different characters. Too bad NightCrawler wasn't around on the film. I was deeply sad that most of the major characters died on this film. *sigh* Great thing Ellen Page is here! :)

X-Men 2: X-Men United - 2003

Category: Movie

Genre: Action / Sci-Fi

Director: Bryan Singer

Writer: Zak Penn, David Hayter

Producer: Marvel Enterprises, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijin, Brian Cox, Alan Cumming, Bruce Davison, Aaron Stanford, Shawn Ashmore.

Tagline: In this world wide conspiracy the only thing you can count on... Is the X factor.


It has been months when the X-Men helped to have Magneto imprisoned in a plastic chamber from the previous movie X-Men. Now another danger is looming as a mutant who goes by the name "Nightcrawler" got into the White House and tried to assassinate The President. So, once again the mutants band together by looking for Nightcrawler.


Once again this movie never failed to amaze me. It is really living up to par with it's first film that went out and is about to satisfy the die-hard fan of the said comics. The actors really did a great job. I like this part because the X-Men are finally getting united to fight one battle. :) I like nightcrawler's views. :)

Although Magneto and Professor X has different views they still kept their love for each other. It's really kind of wonderful how they cannot kill one another. They'd fight for their own causes but never losing what they had in the past - friendship. :)


QUOTES I LIKE:

Professor X: Mutants. Since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Across the planet, debate rages. Are mutants the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Either way it is a historical fact: Sharing the world has never been humanity's defining attribute.


Nightcrawler: You know, outside the circus, most people were afraid of me. But I didn't hate them. I pitied them. Do you know why? Because most people will never know anything beyond what they see with their own two eyes.
Storm: Well, I gave up on pity a long time ago.
Nightcrawler: Someone so beautiful should not be so angry.
Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.
Nightcrawler: So can faith.


Storm: [about Nightcrawler's markings] So... What are they?
Nightcrawler: They're angelic symbols, passed on to mankind by the archangel Gabriel.
Storm: They're beautiful. How many do you have?
Nightcrawler: One for every sin. So quite a few.

Wolverine: I need you to read my mind again.
Professor X: Logan, the mind isn't just a box that can be unlocked and opened, it's a beehive with many...
Wolverine: Spare me the lecture.


FUNNY

Policeman: Put the knives down!
Wolverine: I can't.


Professor X: Logan, my tolerance for your smoking in the mansion notwithstanding, continue smoking that in here, and you'll spend the rest of your days under the belief that you're a six-year-old girl.
Wolverine: You'd do that?
Professor X: I'd have Jean braid your hair.

X-Men - 2000

Category: Movie

Genre: Action / Adventure / Sci-Fi

Director: Bryan Singer

Writer: Tom DeSanto, Bryan Singer,

Producer: Twentieth Century Fox, Marvel Enterprises

Cast: Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Tyler Mane, Ray Park, Rebecca Romijin, Bruce Davison, Matthew Sharp, Rhona Shekter, Shawn Roberts and more.

Tagline: The future is here. Trust a few. Fear the rest.


Mutants and Humans are living together but at the same time they fear each other. Most mutants are being bullied by humans and sometimes makes the young mutant fearing he/she isn't normal. Charles Xavier or Professor X, who has a heart for mutants (and is a mutant himself) runs a private academy for young mutants. Two mutants were added to their group Rogue and Logan a.k.a. Wolverine.

One of the comic adaptations that I really enjoy!! Even though this was just done during 2000. It can still be at par with the movies of 2010. It's a wonderful cinematic experience. Great effects and all that.

The actors played the character pretty well and I am very enthused Hugh Jackman is playing Wolverine. :)

The movie makes me wish I am a mutant myself. Haha.

Prof. Charles Francis Xavier: Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward.

Magneto: Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will pass that foolish law or one just like it, and come for you? And your children?
Prof. Charles: It does, indeed.
Magneto: What do you do, when you wake up to that?
Prof. Charles: I feel a great swell of pity for the poor fool who comes to that school... looking for trouble.
Magneto: [halts the game, sighs] Why do you come here, Charles?
Prof. Charles: Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?
Magneto: Ah, yes. Your continuing search for hope.
[motions to the guard to take Xavier away]
Magneto: You know this plastic prison of theirs won't hold me forever. The war is still coming, Charles. And I intend to fight it, by any means necessary.
Prof. Charles: And I will always be there, old friend.

Watchmen - 2009

Category: Movie

Genre: Action, Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Director: Zack Snyder

Writer: David Hayter, Alex Tse

Cast: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Patrick Wilson

Tagline: This city is afraid of me. I've seen its true face.

Overview and review of Watchmen Directed by Zack Snyder

This movie was based on a graphic novel. I haven't read that one so I don't know about any alterations or whatsoever.

This movie is set on 1985, the glory days of costumed vigilantes have been brought to a close by a government crackdown, but after one of their masked colleague is brutally murdered, they were brought together. The reunited heroes set out to prevent their own destruction, but in doing so discover a deeper and far more diabolical plot.

It's a long movie and I find it gory but nevertheless I enjoyed the storyline. Great picture and special effects as well. Watchmen is something special though and deserves discussion and wonderful dialogue in between.

Quotes:

Rorschach: You see, Doctor, God didn't kill that little girl. Fate didn't butcher her and destiny didn't feed her to those dogs. If God saw what any of us did that night he didn't seem to mind. From then on I knew... God doesn't make the world this way. We do.

Batman: Dark Knight- 2008

Category: Movie

Genre: Hero

Director: Christopher Nolan

Writers: Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan

Tagline: Can you avenge evil and not become it?

Welcome to a world without rules.

Why So Serious?

Casts: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Morgan Freeman.

Overview and Review of Batman: The Dark Knight directed by Christopher Nolan.

Batman and James Gordon continues to exterminate crime in Gotham City, and this time they joined forces with a District Attorney named Harvey Dent. A new freak of a mastermind has taken over "organized crime" in Gotham City named Joker. No identity, no family, no nothing.

This is by far one of the best movie I've seen in 2008. It's Batman - he is a Hero.. so it must be loaded with action scenes right ? Well, get a load of this movie - it is not just action scenes you would enjoy but great memorable dialogues too. But, actually almost everything about this movie I enjoyed - the acting, the action scenes, the Lamborghini, the musical score, and did I say the dialogue ?

Christian Bale did a great job acting as the super-rich-i-can-do-anything-i-want bachelor Bruce Wayne and with his deep voice in his caped suit with all those flashy rides. Of course, Heath Ledger - actually made an ASTOUNDING PERFORMANCE as the Joker. Joker was a very provocative antagonist. He would really try hard to corrupt you. The other casts did their best and was exceptional. Just right for their part.

This movie is pretty much applicable to real life - it's not all fantasy. The comparison between the Corruptible(White Knight/TwoFace) and the Incorruptible(Dark Knight/Batman). Batman is now #1 in my Super Hero list. *laughs*

I also like the scene with the 2 Ships. `twas brilliant and moving. It also got me to thinking: "What If I am There?.. What would be the best thing to do?". And guess what? I did not pass. Mwahaha. Shucks. I need to think about that more often.

Batman: The Dark Knight sure amazed a lot of people, because it exceeded most of their expectations - the writing, the acting, the music and of course the directing. There was never a dull moment to the movie - you'd be glued to the screen most of the time. Everything is excellent!

Joker says: You would really know who that person is... when

Line I like :

Lt. Gordon: Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...a dark knight.

Forbidden Kingdom - 2008

Category: Movie

Genre: Adventure

Director: Rob Minkoff

Tagline: The path is unsafe. The place is unknown. The journey is unbelievable.The battle for eternity is the fantasy of a lifetime.

Cast: Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Michael Angarano, Yifei Liu,


This is a movie based on the classic Chinese novel entitled Journey to the West. This film started in modern-day Boston where an American teenager named Jason,a kung-fu obsessesed fan is buying a couple of kung-fu DVDs from his favorite store which is manned by Old Hop (who is Chan.). A bully then forces Jason to help and rob Old Hop and there his journey began.

With Jet Li and Jackie Chan in one movie? It is definetly a must see. You would wonder whether it would be serious (the presence of Jet Li) or funny (the presence of Jackie Chan). But it proves to be a bit of both. I've never seen a Jet Li movie with Jet Li being funny and all. If you want a comical Jet Li.. you should try watching this. It sure shows the comical side of Jet Li.

This movie also contained a lot of Chinese proverbs and some stories you are probably familiar with. I like the principles and the lessons, also their lines in the movie.

Iron Man - 2008

Category: Movies

Genre: Comics

Director: Jon Favreau

Stars: Robert Downey Jr.,

A review and overview of the movie Iron Man (2008) Directed by Jon Favreau

This is a film based on the Marvel Comics character named Iron Man.

This film stars Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) a billionaire industrialist, C.E.O. of Stark Enterprises and a master engineer who built a powered exoskelon after a life-threatening incident and became the superhero Iron Man.

I decided not to watch it at first because I thought it would be "just another movie" I could miss watching on the big screen and prolly I could just wait and settle for DVD's later on. But, since my bro and sis were persistent... I watched it with them.

I like the pacing of the movie. I like the musical score which I found out was specially made and was character inspired. Robert Downey Jr., did a great job portraying Tony Stark as the famous playboy and as Iron Man himself. Often humorous and sarcastic at times. I like the CGI: effects and all that. It was jussssttt great. I love every minute of it and did I say I enjoyed the musical score (just want to stress that out) ?

I read reviews about they did not nothing to alter the real story of the comic book which made the Iron Man fans fuss over it. And the movie was actually good for all those who never read the comics (like moi).

Lesson I got from the movie: Tony Stark's purpose/mission to continue his father's legacy and also when he finally knew what he wanted to do, after the life-threatening eye-opening incident.

Beowulf - 2007

Category: Movies

Genre: Epic Adventure

Director: Robert Zemeckis

Tagline: Pride is the Curse

Overview and Review of Beowulf the movie directed by Robert Zemeckis

This is basically an ancient tale that is often read to childiren or assigned to be read in English/Reading subjects.

A lot were excited how it would go and all. I was kind of curious because it stars Angelina Jolie and I wasn't expecting much. Although, I was kind of expecting it would be super great.

This is a story of King Hrothgar's kingdom which was terrorized by the monster named Grendel. and help came from Beowulf an arrogant young hero(at least that's how I see him when he was young) with his amazing tales of how he killed sea monsters.

Why arrogant? Cause of this line:

"I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! I AM BEOWULF!"

Visually - it was great. I mean it is 3-D and all (I wasn't expecting about that part). Although, it would have been better if it was done in real life - but I guess it would be too gross. I mean with all the men getting cut in half by Grendel?

There were some parts I did not particularly enjoy. Or it lacked something? I am not sure. All I know I wasn't "that" overwhelmed with the said movie, or maybe because I took it too seriously. Everything's just fine.

I love the soundtrack. "A Hero Comes Home". It fits the said movie. Nice Nice.

I have come to understand now that a movie that comes from a book or an epic would encounter a lot of changes. They usually don't stick to the story. They always add twists. And for the twist on this one..twas good! :)

Myst - Book of Atrus - Rand & Robyn Miller, David Wingrove

Category: Books

Genre: Adventure

Authors: Rand Miller, Robyn Miller and David Wingrove.

Review and overview of the first book of MYST entitled the BOOK OF ATRUS written by Rand Miller, Robyn Miller and David Wingrove.

I bought this book because of it's attractive cover. Very Myst-erious and intriguing. This book is based on a popular CD-ROM game and set in the same universe as the game by Cyan Worlds. This is the first book of the series "MYST".

This first book of the series provides a lot of background of the history of D'ini and the characters of the CD-ROM game. By the title of the book the main character of the story is Atrus. The story begins with the birth of Atrus and his mother dying on childbirth where his father Gehn left him(Atrus the baby) to his grandmother Anna. Atrus grew up not knowing his father. Meanwhile, Anna's been teaching her grandson the nature of the Earth and it's guiding principles. Anna is the wise woman here who taught Atrus to respond to his nature and not to violate it.

If you are a person who loves adventures, well this is one book for you. What's good about it is that it comes with values and lifelong principles.
It's a very enriching book which would teach you a lot about what is good and what is to be valued, the truths that cannot be shaken or changed. A book about acting selflessly which leads you to act well for all. Very nice book. Lovely words.... and lovely conversations with Anna and Atrus. I enjoyed it...

Spiderman 3 - 2007

Category: Movies

Genre: Action Heroes

Director: Sam Raimi

Lead Stars: Toby Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco.

Tagline: Next summer, the greatest battle lies… within.

There is this mysterious black substance from another world that would bring out the black side of a person found it’s way to Peter Parker’s apartment. It transformed his red/blue original Spidey outfit into a black one and also his dark personality came to view. The black suit makes you feel good, but you would lose yourself in it.

Introducing three new villains: Sandman, Venom (ugly ugly), and the New Goblin (Harry Osborn).

It’s great, got me teary-eyed the last part. Love the message….. Part 3 is all about choices, forgiveness,sacrifices, friendship and the quest for WHO YOU ARE.

You would love to hate the “new Peter” that would surmise here… His hairdo is quite emo… hehe. I like how he acted naughty naughty and being mean here. Funny acting when Toby attempts to cry over the bridge. I don’t think Tobey is all set up for crying…. but he is basically good in being mean and sarcastic.

Strengths: Effects, Visuals, Sounds (the sound made me jump in my seat a couple of times, really).

Trivia: This film is the first “third installment film” to be directed by the same director. Most directors who have done superhero films usually make the first and second films, and then leave.

The film’s translation in Russia is “Spider-Man 3: Enemy in the Reflection”

This film is reportedly the most expensive film ever made in U.S. dollars, with a budget of $250 million. This breaks King Kong (2005)’s record of $207 million, and in terms of adjusted dollars, would be third to Voyna i mir (1968)’s budget of $560 million.

The Covenant - 2006

Summary and Review of The Covenant

Directed by Renny Harlin

Writing credits (WGA) J.S. Cardone (written by)

Tagline: Four have the power. One will stop at nothing to possess it.

Story about four young (handsome casts) men who belong to a family of pagans with supernatural powers. Actually there are five families but it was believed that the 5th died. All the while they thought they were only four. But then, they are about to discover and “fight” the fifth person who wanted to take all of their powers.

It’s a good movie. Quite entertaining. There are scenes I really think and I think that are pretty much cool. The movie is “hanging” which would mean… there would be another part two.. right film makers?

4 stars for the handsome cast. Muwahahaha.

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest - 2006

Category: Movies
Genre: Adventure
Tagline: Prepare to be blown out of the water.
Stars: Johnny Depp, Keira Knightley, and Orlando Bloom

This one is funny. I had a great time watching it. Although, it’s supposed to be not so grotesque since it’s a Disney movie and all that…. but yeah.. those monstrous faces were present. You would then think… “Is this movie for kids?”.

Haha. It sure is for kids. It never lacked the funny parts.

I like the part with those human-eating-humans. Where, the pirates were placed in two skeleton-ball-that-is-supposed-to-be-a-cage part. It is sooo funny.. specially when they were swinging back and forth trying to reach the other side. Nice nice. My favorite part. Haha.

Fun Fun Fun. Though it’s a cliffhanger… where everybody was disappointed. But I’m not. Meaning, there would be more of it!!! More fun!!

Superman Returns - 2006

Category: Movies
Genre: Action & Adventure

Directed by	Bryan Singer
Produced by	Gil Adler Jon Peters Bryan Singer
Written by	Comic Book: Jerry Siegel Joe Shuster

I wasn’t expecting Superman to have a great storyline and all. I just watched it to accompany a relative of ours who wanted to watch it because it was his childhood fave hero. So, i tagged along.

I know it would be good, but i never thought that the storyline would be soo good (IMO). Maybe because i wasnt expecting a lot from the movie, that is why i was just so amazed by it. Because other people said the movie went over board with the effects. It was obvious blah blah.

But, come to think of it Superman is from Krypton, so those effects that went overboard were necessary. He is an alien, not a human being….. so if he needs superpowers, they should not stereotype it to “reality”. because superman is an alien! I dunno if you are getting my …. sentiments (Do you call it sentiments? lol) but that’s what i think.

Prince Ombra - Roderick MacLeish

REVIEW & SUMMARY

Category: Books
Genre: Adventure
Author: Roderick MacLEISH

This book is really exciting! One cannot just put it down. One must finish it till the end.

Prince Ombra here is the name of the lord of every mortal nightmare. (Could be the devil in laymans term.) He is the cause of all the kid’s fear, the terrorism, war, killing, stealing and you know what I mean. Where there is trouble, Prince Ombra is sure to be found.

You’d be excited how this book tells about Camelot (King Arthur and the Celts) and when Prince Ombra appeared at that time. He appeared countless of times in this world.

Of course in every villain, there would also be a HERO right? ANd whenever Prince Ombra appears (he takes upon different names), there would always be an equal good side which we would call hero (and they have different names too, e.g. Arthur).

In this story the thousand and first Hero was born… and well it’s really a good book and pretty much exciting. Better read it.

Why do we have a cleft in our upper lips?

“It is said - and it is true- that just before we are born, a cavern angel holds his finger to our mouths and say ‘Hush, Don’t tell what you know.’

That’s why we have a cleft on our upper lips and remember nothing of where we come from.”

My POINT: This is kinda true. I know we all know the mysteries of the EARTH ever since we were born… and well.. it’s great that this book mentioned something about it. ahihi.

Already a MOVIE by Paramount pictures
