Movie Review: Thor: The Dark World



Thor is back... And wields his trusted hammer Mjolnir once more to dish out some heavy Marvel Movie action in the big screen. The God of Thunder and heir to the throne of Asgard's latest adventure has made its impact overseas two weeks before it's premiere in the US, and I am fortunate to have seen it, both in 3D and 2D screenings that have only cemented my belief that Marvel Studios has certainly planned things properly with the fans in mind. It's great to say that as the second film of "Phase Two" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this is a film worthy of the standards built by its predecessors, and directed by the talented Alan Taylor of Game of Thrones fame.

So without further ado and already taking past $100 Million on its first weekend overseas, here's my review for "Thor: The Dark World" - An action-packed sequel that delivers on Thor's promise to return and in a great way. Those who want to shy away from SPOILERS, best be warned already and don't be reading this review... Especially those in the US, where the film opens on November 8.

Thanks goes to Walt Disney PH, Columbia PH, Marvel, and Ayala Malls for the screening in 3D last week prior to Halloween, and seeing the 2D screening just this weekend only solidified my opinions that you can't go wrong seeing this epic Marvel film.

The Walking Dead S04E01: "30 Days Without An Accident" Review


Finally... After months of excruciating patience and wait, The Walking Dead has returned, or is about return, to AMC and various television networks across the globe, bringing about its much anticipated 4th Season and continuing the ongoing story of survival of Rick Grimes and his group of survivors in a world ravaged by a zombie apocalypse. Now on its 4th season and going strong as ever, what other threats lie in store for the living in this savage environment? Plenty more, and that's what this review is going to explore and reflect on with the season premiere episode - "30 Days Without An Accident".

Movie Review: This Is The End


What happens when you put together a comedy cast assemble of James Franco, Seth Rogen , Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride, who play fictional versions of themselves and are forced to survive an unexpected world apocalypse that sees death and destruction surrounding them?

Lots of laughs undoubtedly, and the kind of survivor chemistry that wouldn’t see these guys team up any day… Save for desperate times and apparently the world apocalypse set upon them. If you were looking for something brainless and with a seemingly all-star Hollywood cast on it, you should probably check out "This is The End", the brainchild of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and a movie that was originally released in June 12, but got enough fanfare to get rereleased anew this September!

So what's the buzz and stakes on this comedy flick? Read on the review to find out, and thanks goes to Columbia Pictures Philippines and Ayala Malls for the screening!
