IN-despicable me!!!

My gf and I are fond of watching animated movies particularly those cute (for kids) ones. The latest that satisfied our delight is DESPICABLE ME.

In a clean and quiet neighborhood, sits an odd looking house and an odd looking car. Unknown to them, lied underneath is a secret hideout more of like a R&D laboratory. Are you familiar with Uncle Fester of the Addams Family, well he is somehow like the protagonist/antagonist of this movie. The workers? An army of small yellow minions which he introduced as his cousins. =)

Their main job is to steal important artifacts or landmarks from different places. One thing though is that nobody knows that it was him who's been doing this. Planning to get the biggest heist of his time, he planned on stealing the moon. Yes, the moon. How he can do it, by making use of the shrink gun. But first of all, he have to steal the shrink gun, overcome his biggest rival, Vector and to be a parent to 3 cute little girls namely, Margo, Edith and Agnes.

Can the world's greatest villain turn out to be the world's greatest dad?

Rating: 9/10

I'd love to train a dragon

Set in the world of Vikings and dragons, Hiccup, a boy who struggles to belong in his clan encounters a 'cute' black dragon entangled in ropes while wandering the woods. Not having the urge to kill a dragon which the Vikings were trained to do so, he untangled it and gradually became friends with it. This turn of events will change the history both for the dragons and Vikings.

Character design is great! The facial expressions especially with that of the black dragon is outstanding. You can feel the understanding of both Hiccup and his dragon. We had a really good laugh on this one. The story isn't that complex so you need not have to concentrate on it. Just enjoy the animation and have a good laugh.

An adaptation based on the book written by Cressida Cowell. Even though I haven't read the book yet I think this animation did justice to it. This 3D offering is awesome!

Enjoy, enjoy and enjoy. You'll definitely learn some tricks in training a dragon, like I said earlier, in case you encountered one. Definitely a 10/10 for me.

MISCONSTRUED!!! Percy Jackson & the Lightning Thief movie

Oh well what can i say... the movie is a bit off context against the books. I think it'll better off to be a stand-alone movie and not based on the book itself because the plot is vastly changed.

I can understand the possible reasons of the director why he changed the movie plot because it's really hard to contain all the details of the book in more or less than 2hrs of movie. For all of you who have read the novel you're in for a surprise on this movie.

Let me enumerate to you guys some of the important parts of the movie that was either changed or removed:

1. No Clarisse and Ares. For those of you who have read the novel, you know the importance of these characters.

2. Hades was brought out bad guy and an antagonist when he was supposed to be a cool business-minded god.

3. Dropping the storyline of Hades' invisibility helmet and only making him want the lightning bolt.

4. Annabeth was the leader of the red team in the capture the flag not Clarisse, who was not included in the movie, thus making Annabeth the opponent of Percy.

5. Luke is like so evil and wise that he managed to fool the gods. Keep in mind he is only a demi-god.

6. No prophecy, thus making it the quest for the 3 pearls. If I can remember it right these pearls are only given to Percy by a naiad.

A good movie in terms of effects and only if you haven't read the books yet. But I won't suggest you to watch it unless you really wanted to.

Up in 3D

Just before my girlfriend leave for a 4D/3N stay in Thailand we planned on treating ourselves a 3D spectacle. We watched Up in 3D at greenbelt 3 cinemas. This was my first 3D experience and I am quite excited with that.

For a P300 worth of ticket both of us were really satisfied. The animation is done pretty well and the story is great. A funny and mostly touching story between an old man and a young boy along with their house hoisted up by thousands of balloons. Plus a giant bird which the boy named Kevin, talking dogs and a lost-explorer (the main antagonist).



A great treat for everybody, it's a guarantee. A must see movie with great animation and story. It's a perfect rating for me, 10/10.
