THE EAGLE, a review



The Eagle is a historical epic movie that was adapted from the adventure historical novel "The Eagle of The Ninth".

This is a story about a young Roman officer who's in search for the lost of his father's legion in the Northern part of Britain. According to the people from the kingdom, the lost of his father was because of his cowardice towards the enemies that made them preferred to hide instead of fighting.

Marcus Aquila wants to know the truth and bring back the honor of his father. He searched for the "golden eagle" which was the symbol of his father's legion. Marcus was joined by Esca, who was their colony's slave where he tried to save from their gladiator. By thanking him, Esca, pledged to be Marcus's slave and even tested his loyalty even if he's not Roman.

The actions and adventures of Marcus and Esca was full of miseries, but it was all worth it when Marcus have gained his father's honor.

I give 4 STARS for this action adventure film..

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 ...
