Leap Day Post: Micro movie reviews and David Finch in Manila!

It's Leap Day today, and it's a good time to get some things posted up that I haven't had the chance to talk about. February 29th only comes once every 4 years, and because it adds an extra day to the calendar, we're treated to an extended goodbye for this month before welcoming March and the slow signs of Summer beginning. There's a lot of activities and dates piled up, and I'm going to talk about one big event to look forward to next month... DC Comics artist David Finch coming to Manila!. For now, here's some Micro Movie Reviews that I've been itching to share. Read them after the jump!

DZRJ 810AM Radio Guesting with DJ MB!

Yesterday, February 20th, was a good day. For many reasons alone, it gave me a chance to talk about what I do and one aspect of my being that I am most passionate about: blogging.

I was fortunate to be invited as a guest in local radio station DZRJ 810AM - Voice of the Philippines, for host DJ MaryBeth's show "Tuesdays with MaryBeth".

There, I was invited to talk about the art of blogging: specifically my daily news and hobby popculture blog Pop Culture Crusader; personal blog Timzster; and a shared Geek blog with one of my friends and fellow blogger Mark Cerbo, "Geekmatic". I go on to express how this passion has helped me through my career and life, opening new doors and avenues for me to explore as a writer and multimedia artist and granting me opportunities I am so grateful for. I also convey my own personal thoughts and opinions, as well as advice for those who want to start their own blog, and venture forth into the open world of expressing oneself.

Airing tonight as of this posting at 9pm until 10pm, be sure to catch me and DJ MB in "Tuesdays with Marybeth"!

Movie Review: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

The year of the superhero movies is upon us once more, and there's quite a mouthful of exciting titles to look forward to as 2012 rolls forward. With momentum building up to Josh Whedon's The Avengers, Marc Webb's new take on Spider-Man, and the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight saga, comic book fans certainly have a lot on their plate that will keep them satisfied and talking in the months to come. However, the comic book movie craze will officially begin this month, as Marvel releases their first salvo of heroism in the form of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Once again starring Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze/ Ghost Rider, the film is not exactly a direct sequel, and instead picks and retools elements from the first movie to generate a new adventure that is supposedly much darker and grittier than its predecessor. Before trailing off to the review, I'd like to extend my sincerest thanks to Warner Bros. Philippines for inviting me to the special screening of this film. Now that its riding in theaters, find out just how much hellfire and brimstone this film has.
