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!

Movie Review: The Wolverine


 He's the best at what he does... And what he does isn't very nice.


Once again reprising the role that helped make him a bonafide superstar in Hollywood, Hugh Jackman returns as the X-Man Logan, and proves without a shadow of a doubt why he's the man that deserves to be called "Wolverine". Since his last full appearance as the feral mutant in the 2009 X-film spinoff "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and making a cameo in 2011's "X-Men: First Class", there's been more questions than answers as to where the X-Men's most dangerous member would go next, and now we get the answer in an adaptation that explores a part of his life that's based from one of the most memorable arcs in the Marvel Comics character's long and documented comic history.

Definitely departing from the typical superhero film route and taking itself more seriously like that of a Japanese noir action movie, The Wolverine is the latest spinoff film that explores the character's time in Japan, as well as battling personal demons and new foes in the form of yakuza, ninjas, samurai, and more hidden enemies with a bone to pick with the X-Man. It's your formula for the kind of action and setup seen in the genre... Only with Wolverine in it, and adds subtle ties to his part in the X-Men film franchise, particularly with one thread that carries over from X-Men: The Last Stand. Does this movie scream berserker rage or something else? Find out in this review, and special thanks goes to 20th Century Fox PH and Ayala Cinemas for the Special advanced 3D screening!

Let's Go, Bub.
