THOR, a review



After a long wait for its release, we have finally seen the Marvel Comics movie, THOR. It seems like people had been hungry for great hollywood movies after the Lenten season that has passed, that's why in Festival Supermall Cinema in Alabang, Thor is shown in four cinemas to accommodate the viewing crowd.

This film stars, Anthony Hopkins ( Odin, King of Asgard ), Chris Hemsworth ( Thor, son of Odin ) and  Natalie Portman ( Jane Foster , a scientist ). The story tells about the great war of the Kingdom of Asgard against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim who wants to conquer the Nine Realms, starting with Earth. But King Odin, does'nt want it to happen and wants to maintain peace, so the Asgarian Warriors defeated the Frost Giants and seize the source of their power: The Casket of Ancient Winters.



As THOR prepares to ascend to the throne of Asgard as King, it was  interrupted when the Frost Giants attempt to retrieve the Casket from them. Thor went to Jotunheim to confront Laufey, the leader of Frost giants on why such a retrieval attempt without permission from his father and against the King's order. Thor asked the help of his dear friends together with his brother Loki, who happens to be his father's adopted son who came from the Frost Giants race without Loki's knowledge as well as everybody else's.

As they went to Jotunheim, a big battle began between the five of them against the numerous Frost Giants. King Odin came to the rescue to intervene and save their lives. The King was so upset for what Thor did, and for his arrogance, Thor was exiled to Earth together with his hammer. But he will only be able to get back his powers if he is already worthy to weild it.

The special effects are awesome in this movie, and you will laugh once in a while on some humorous scenes of Thor when he landed down to Earth. It is a spontenous and exciting movie to watch for all the Marvel heroes advocate out there.

I give 4.5 STARS for this movie! :)

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
