THOR movie review

Paramount Pictures bring us the god of thunder from Norse mythology. Marvel's THOR starring Chris Hemsworth in the title character with Natalie Portman. THOR had recently opened in the Philippines, April 29.

here we find the story of the god of thunder who was banished from their world, Asgard, after inducing war against legend enemies, the ice giants. he lands on earth in Oklahoma as the mortal Donald Blake. he thought he can live as an Asgardian but he learned mortal values and doings and gained mortal characteristics like compassion to other races. here he meets the scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) whom he very well connected with and protected from the dangers in the war of the gods.

in Asgard, his stepbrother Loki has been scheming to elevate his position to the throne. he was ultimately jealous of his brother Thor and have done everything to rule Asgard. he even connected to the ice giants but betrayed them for the ambition of ruling the universe.

i think it is pretty well done focusing on Thor's beginning and how he became a hero for earth. the depiction of Asgard is very royal and futuristic. it's golden buildings glare in the light of day. and Thor's hammer the Mjolnir approve of the powerful strength of Thor's physique.

since Thor is part of the Avengers, you will have a glimpse of what's coming next. wait for the scene after credits and you'll figure out what.

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS movie review

let us all look back on the most spectacular on earth that united two hearts in Water for Elephants. the newest historical movie by 20th Century Fox based on the book written by Sara Gruen starring Robert Pattinson (Jacob Jankowski), Reese Witherspoon (Marlena) and Christoph Waltz (August) coming May 4 in Philippine cinemas.
Jacob Jankowski remembers 1931 in joining the tour of the Benzini Bros. Circus after he had learned the tragedy committed by his parents. he was a student then in Cornell taking up veterinary medicine. and upon knowing the accident, Jacob almost didn't know where to start and left everything he had. when the train of the Benzini Bros. passes by him, he jumped over not knowing what he will be into. he was turned to be a worker of a circus doing manual labor. he discovers the show and star of it, Marlena, who is in close contact with the animals. their paths cross while checking on the horse that is suffering from abscess. Jacob had developed a special look on Marlena which will not very good for him and might put him in danger.

taking care of the animal, August knew about his veterinary skills, so he was promoted to tend the needs of the animals that brought him closer to Marlena. he has confessed her love and they had a special affair that outraged August. when August's true colors start to show up, Jacob planned to take Marlena out of the tyranny and cruelty to start a new peaceful life.

but August's power followed them. Marlena was forced to go back to August and Jacob was beaten almost killing him. but the power of love is no match for any cruelty. the other circus members have their support for the two and they also don't want to stay in August's cruel doings and awful treatment to the animals. the escape lead to the fall of the business and happy life of Jacob and Marlena.

love really has its way. there's no stopping loving hearts to be with each other despite any dangers around them. August deserved the way he was treated back by his workers because of his cruelty. my heart breaks when he jabs the stick into the elephant's body until it bleeds. he really doesn't care for the situation of everything around him just to push through with a good show and earn some money. money really isn't everything, what's important is that you have people to back you up just as Jacob had.

i remember two movies that may have the same themes as this. Titanic and Moulin Rouge. not to mention you have Reese Witherspoon, an Academy Award winner to get in the cast. as Marlena, she was very graceful to be the star of the show and she did well in putting up her character. also her acrobatic and circus training that did well. nice cinematography as well.

wear a MILLEFIORI

Italy is home to fine art. Not to mention the roots of the greatest artists and inventors in world history like Leonardo da Vinci. It is also the cradle of early civilization and high-class fashion and lifestyle. The world looks up to Italy as a symbol of human accomplishment.

One manifestation of fine art in Italy is the stained glasses of cathedrals. Glass has been a good material in Italian art and is found at every corner of the religious buildings. Furthermore, this kind of art is seen in almost every building. Homes, stores and restaurants exhibit a colorful display of glass art which attract people to come in.

In our history at 1291, glass art has been diverted from Venice to Murano based on a law that all furnaces used for glassmaking be moved from Venice to Murano to avoid the risk of fire from the furnaces spreading onto the largely wooden structures of overpopulated Venice.

One specific type of glass art technique is the millefiori, Italian for “a thousand flowers” which is first used by Egyptians. The basis of this technique is the use of glass canes (rods) which contain a single flower design visible only on the surface of cross sections of the cane. The object is then formed using the cross-sections of multiple such rods, which are melted together to cover the surface of the glass object.

And there are available millefiori jewelry online. And since the art is a fine work from Murano, people call it the murano millefiori pendants. These jewelries are affordable and fashionable that compliments the beauty of the person who wears it. It never goes out of style in the fashion sense. A great piece of jewelry that raise the elegance on a woman's face and radiate the nostalgic beauty.

TANGLED DVD out now!

Walt Disney’s latest princess hit “Tangled” featuring the voices of Zachary Levi and Mandy Moore as Rapunzel is now hitting the video stores. The Tangled DVD is available right now for only 11.95. you must reserve now a copy to relive and remember Rapunzel’s adventures with Flynn Rider.

In Tangled, I can remember that they gave the back story of how Rapunzel was put into the tall tower since she was a baby. And there’s something magical with her that’s why the wicked woman kidnapped her from the Royal Family. With curiosity in her mind, she wants to get out to the real world. But she was forbidden by her stepmother because of her selfish agenda.

Crossing her way was a thief-at-large, Flynn Rider, who was like the Robin Hood of their kingdom. With a schemed incident, he befriends Rapunzel and he had given the lost princess’ one-of-a-kind adventure. Their tandem is one fun and exciting combination and a very memorable one. With Flynn, Rapunzel even discovered her true roots.

But for every success story there’s a big pitfall, since Flynn had discovered that Rapunzel is a royalty, he had the chance to get rich himself. Using Rapunzel as lure to the wealth, she was unaware that she will be used. Flynn’s conscience had to fight for had fallen in love with the girl, for real.

Tangled was more that fun. It’s a nice combo of songs, story, humor and magic good for the kids. I have noticed that some scenes are patterned from other Disney Princess story.

ARTHUR movie review

if you have billions of dollars in hand, what would you do? for Arthur (Russel Brand), who is the sole-heir in a business empire, trashes his wealth out to the people around. and this includes party, alcohol and sex. bringing shame to his family, his mother arranged a marriage for him and another business heir, Susan (Jennifer Garner) and in return, Arthur has to brush off his childishness.

but along the way, he finds an average girl named Naomi (Greta Gerwid) who opened the doors to Arthur of living a simple life. Arthur then realizes what he has been missing and eventually fell in love with Naomi.

to save the business empire, Susan has a lot to work on Arthur to push through with the marriage. even to lie to herself that Arthur doesn't like her. desperate measures to have a share in Arthur's coming wealth when they get married.

but in all of this, Arthur's nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren), is the only person that can understand him. she thinks that Arthur is a strong person and in how we see Arthur, he is worth loving for. too bad that she had to die before the story ends but this has made Arthur live on his own and grow up as a man. i love her character as i wish that there could be more like her -- who understands you in whatever you do and supports you.


it's so good to be like Arthur. but we have to remember the consequences and responsibilities as a person, whether we'll be rich or poor. mixed up with a lot of humor but it brings back the lesson to you at the end.


Arthur opens on April 23 in the Philippines, distributed by Warner Bros Pictures, a Warner Bros Entertainment Company.

HALL PASS movie review

isn't it nice when you are free outside of relationship, and you have to enjoy being single as much as you want? but what if you are attached in a relationship but you wish to enjoy the perks of singlehood? let Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis teach you how to do it in New Line Cinema's new love-comedy, Hall Pass, showing on April 6 in theaters nationwide.

Rick (Wilson) and Fred (Sudeikis) are both average husbands who are not surprisingly obsessed with hormonal activities and would love to live the life of bachelors once again. when their wives have filled up the cup, they are forced to give the hall pass -- driving their partners out of their marriages for one week!

and the boys' are free. having their wives' permissions to do whatever they want and don't feel bad about it. the two of them together with the other guys played along for the whole week and the possibilities had been endless and they are bachelors again. but there is one thing that they have stuck eyes on -- to have an affair with another woman until the hall pass expires.

almost there, there are unimaginable things that come their way and that's where all the funny part is. scenes are very close to the lives of people. how they tried to enjoy the time were almost not done.


even their wives had a time with their hall pass. in fact, they even had more of the great time than their husbands. it's good that they realize the purpose of the hall pass isn't just for their husbands but for themselves. it serves a lesson that there are great things with sticking to their own partner and be content and love them more.

Hall Pass is a New Line Cinema presentation to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. opening on April 6.

GNOMEO AND JULIET movie review

from Shakespeare's well-known tragedy comes a "cute" retelling entitled Gnomeo and Juliet which opens on April 13 in theaters nationwide.

instead of human beings, we find our lovers as garden gnomes. they take on responsibility of beautifying the garden of their humans. but when they are away, the long dispute between the families, Montague and Capulet are on. the catch is, don't get smashed or broken.

as the original story went, the feud of the two families banned our lovers to meet and even fall in love. but against all odds, they managed to express their love for each other. they have found common things with each other and the folks don't approve of what's going on between them. anger grew upon losing a family member, bit by bit.

but unlike Shakespeare's tragedy, this love story gives a happy and colorful ending. good for young audience to understand Shakespearean masterpiece before they get into the actual piece. delivery is very funny and the soundtrack is amusing. not to mention that Elton John has lent his songs for the movie. other characters show good support for the movie and has identified the differences between the disputing families. but still, they are characterized as cute and colorful gnomes which help you take it light on the story of Romeo and Juliet.

Gnomeo and Juliet also perfect for 3D viewing as the texture of the gnomes are clearly visible. relive the story of Romeo and Juliet with this cute animation.

opening on April 13 2011, in Digital 3D and regular format, “Gnomeo & Juliet” is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.

RIO movie review

from the makers of ICE AGE, get festive with Carnaval in 2011's new animation, RIO! featuring the voices of Jesse Eisenberg as Blu and Anne Hathaway as Jewel.

a lot of issues were subliminally portrayed in 20th Century Fox's RIO. a survival of an endangered specie, illegal trade of animals and child labor. all issues go back to one single source, poverty. every aspect has been weaved to put on a story that will have a good fun impact on the audience but i hope it can also send the messages that i've seen. most of all, the action that should be done by the Brazilian government to address these problems.

Blu is the only blue macau left on the planet. he has come to Brazil to find his mate. and being an endangered bird with great value, they have been captured and supposed to be sold at trade. trying to escape, Blu's mate Jewel discovers that he cannot fly since he was domesticated for a long time. Blu has to overcome this dilemma to get back into sanctuary and propagate his specie. he comes to know different birds, and even befriending a bulldog. on the other side, whole of Rio de Janeiro is preparing for some fun in carnaval. everything gets twisted as his owner searches for him.

there's also candid appearance by current famous iPad game, Angry Birds. this time, they are in 3D. it is also great to see it on 3D.

i love the soundtrack with all that samba and festive music. this is one great musical with birds and colors. Jamie Foxx and Will.I.Am also did great for the voices of their characters that gave fun to the movie. not to mention the greatness of setting it in Brazil.

RIO will be showing on April 7 by 20th Century Fox.
