[Review]Up

Yes, this is just a two letter film. From the creators of Toy Story (the first full 3D film) Disney and Pixar teamed up once again to deliver yet another stunning film. I watched the film in a 3D cinema and it's really worth your peso. This moie doesn't only target the young audience, but also the adult as well. The message was clear and you must watch the movie to appreciate it. Anyway, nothing bad I can say about the film for it is a superior Disney film indeed. If you ever plan to watch it, watch it on 3D to fully experience the Disney magic.

[Review]G.I. Joe : Rise of Cobra

I guess reviving old franchises like Transformers, Star Trek and on this case G.I. Joe is a tried and tested formula. G.I. Joe (G.I. stands fo Ground Infantry) was a classic comics / cartoons back when I was 4 years old. I watched the cartoons and collected the 4" fully articulated action figures and I guess that was part of my happy childhood. Now imagine me, and the rest of my generation (Yes, I admit I'm getting older)got a chance to relive those childhood happiness with this G.I. Joe film. Anyway, The series got a futuristic upgrade by adding "nano machine" technology to the plot. The movie's main plot revolves around the joining of Duke to the G.I. Joe ranks and you guess it, the rise of Cobra Commander. It is safe to say that this film updated the G.I. Joe concept to a more futuristic "American Army technology" but still retained the original G.I. Joe feel that made my generation loved the series. I do hope that the sequel will repeat or even surpass the success of G.I.:Joe Rise of Cobra, for it is now a link between my generation and the current generation of G.I. Joe fandom. Got to get that Yo Joe!

Sandara Park Returns!

Former Philippine teen sensation Sandara Park, now a famous member of the Korean girl group 2NE1, returned yesterday to the country that once loved her and had forgotten her eventually drove her back to South Korea. Sandy could have stayed there, but she chose to spend her two-week vacation here. Now you see her on our local television once again interviewed and got to perform on a morning show. Aren't you guys ashamed? After droving her away, you welcomed her back happily because she's popular in South Korea now. Sandy could have chosen not to come here, but as every first love, she chose to return to the country that will never be removed in her heart.
