COWBOYS AND ALIENS, a review

Image
This is a late review since Cowboys and Aliens had its opening last August 10. We have watched it last weekend, but I wasn't able to make a blog of it immediately. I'm not just in the mood to face my laptop and write a post on my website. Days are passing, so I'm blogging from my BlackBerry phone now to post something finally! So much of the explanation, here's a quick review. Well, Daniel Craig as we all know is a great actor, but his acting abilities were not showcased entirely on this movie. Yeah, aliens! But those were the old looks of an extra terrestrials that we used to see when we get to watch an alien movie.. Maybe I'm just looking for something "new" to aliens nowadays. The story wasn't twisted and just made it run along until the end. There's nothing special nor extraordinary about the action and fight scenes, just the powerful bracelet. But it's not as dumb as you would think for a movie. It just didn't made me feel such an awe.

BULLIES and the BULLIED

Image
I hate kids that bullies their classmates. I think they need medical attention. My daughter's been a victim of those. Bullies should not go to regular schools. They must have a proper school where all of their kind undergo a different disciplinary approach. I am not an "overprotective" mother. But as a parent, we want our kids to study in a school where they can learn the right values and proper behavior w/o bullies that distracts them from learning. Parents who have bully kids must know that they have a bigger responsibility to discipline their child. It all boils down to the parents.. Bullies are kids "nurtured" by their parents who spoiled them extremely during their toddler years. They are unaware that they are teaching their kids on how to be arrogant and insecure at a very young age. We all love our kids that's why we want to give them almost everything that they wish to have when they were still small. But we have to know that, there are factors that

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, a review

Image
Rise of The Planet of The Apes is the prequel of the longest running movie franchise, Planet of The Apes. This movie was said to be the opening episode to create a new and different story to offer the audience. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film. The film is directed by Rupert Wyatt. It is a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series that will act as a foundation with an origin story for a new film series. Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes in 1972, but it is not a direct remake in that it does not fit into that series' continuity.   The movie’s story was clearly presented all through out, but did not gave its audience to think more and get puzzled about, unlike the past episodes. It has a shocking yet interesting ending that implies a potential sequel that must be look forward to. I give 4 STARS for this movie! :) :) :) :)

[slideshow] Been to Yellow Cab many times, but this is my first time that we dine in their Festival Mall Alabang branch. We just had a movie break, and we came across the delicious smell of their pizza so we decided to have our snack there, somewhere near.

The pizza itself satisfied our cravings, loaded with our favorite pizza toppings: meatballs, ham, olives, cheese and a lot more! The crust is flavorful and loaded with topping to the edge!
