ROBINHOOD, a review



We were lucky to have a free movie passes from my husband's company, as their employee treats to their employees. The movie screening was held at the Alabang Town Center Cinema before the mall opens to the public. The movies to choose from were Shrek 4 and Robinhood.. so we opted to choose the war movie Robinhood, because we both enjoy watching movies of those kind. It has a free snack, hotdog sandwich and tacos and plus a coke drink.. The movie was just about to start when we came..

Let's go back to the main story of the movie.. This movie is based on the legend of Robin Hood which came into a movie version, directed by Ridley Scott, and starred by Russel Crowe from the movie "Gladiator" who played the role of Robin Longstride. Well, just like the other "ancient" war movies nowadays, Robinhood has a wonderful cinematography, and the costumes of the characters are just awesome..

The story is all about power grabbing, betrayal and greed during the 12th century, as almost all of the kingdoms in England are being compromised by the French invasion plans.. Robin, was just a common archer who has a heart to protect and to keep the harmonious relationships of all the Kingdoms in England. But due to greed of power and betrayal, England was compromised.

Everyone should watch it.. a great legend! :)

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, a review

Image
This is the fourth installment of The Pirates of the Caribbean movie series. As usual, Johnny played his humorous clever type of a pirate who loves adventures and mysteries. In this film, Jack Sparrow was joined by Angelica (Penelope Cruz) who was his imposter in search for the Fountain of Youth. Angelica is Jack's former lover who happens to be the daughter of the ruthless pirate Blackbeard. This man posseses several magical powers, including the ability to shrink other ships down to miniature size and contain them within bottles. Blackbeard forces Jack to join his crew and lead them to the Fountain to circumvent a prophecy that a one-legged man will soon kill Blackbeard. Meanwhile, Gibbs, who memorized, then destroyed Sparrow's map, joins Barbossa's crew in order to beat Blackbeard and the Spanish to the Fountain. And so the adventure begins for Jack Sparrow and the whole gang.. This movie runs pretty long so, you better bring extra food and drinks when you watch this. I ...

SM City Calamba Grand Opening

Image
It was a TGIF, when SM City Calamba had its grand opening located along the busy road of Real. i remember when i blog about it back in December 21, 2009 where it is still on its first month of construction. I am totally impressed about SM's wikipedia info of its target opening date, which is October of 2010 because they absolutely hit it! Of course, how can i miss that opening? our house is just 5 minutes away from the mall.. though we were'nt able to get our feet stepped in as early, atleast we managed to. ;) The people were so overwhelming, and a huge foot traffic covers all the floors of the mall. It's like we're on a rally or something.. like an Edsa revolution, where we cant barely move as we try to walk around. Worst thing? It took us ages to get a table to eat, because all of the food places were jampacked! customers should even have to wait for the long queue of the restaurants just to have lunch. it's like everybody was there! But then, good thing that we ...
