One More Try A Movie Review

I seldom watch Tagalog movies. I find most story lines mababaw and some even copy cats of Western movies. But when I read the gist of the movie One More Try, I thought the plot was different. So, I watched the 12:10 pm screening of the movie alone for the first time in Promenade Theater along with a dozen or so Senior Citizens and their companions.

 One More Try starring Angelica Panganiban, Dindong Dantes, Zanjoe Marudo and Angel Locsin

At first, I was shock at the exorbitant amount I paid for a Tagalog movie. But after watching it, I felt it was definitely worth every single cent of the price I paid - PhP 225.25. This is what I tweeted after watching it ---> "kulang ang tissue paper na dala ko" ; p It was definitely a tearjerker movie!

Spoiler Alert and movie trailer after the break...

Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf? Not Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), whose family lives in the village of Daggerhorn. The villagers offer a truce every full moon to the werewolf. But it was suddenly broken when her older sister was killed by the dreaded werewolf in the middle of the night. The whole village scampered. Valerie's plan of running away with the village's woodcutter, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez) suddenly came into a halt. A shocking revelation became known when famous wolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), came to the village to help kill the beast! Everybody is a suspect as Father Solomon warns the townspeople that the werewolf takes human form by day and hunts at night! Now, the answer to the question- Who is the big, bad wolf might come as a surprise!

Glorietta 4, Makati City

I got two complimentary tickets to a press screening for Warner Bros. Pictures' Yogi Bear. And who better to accompany me than my sister. She has been a fan of Yogi Bear. My sister has been watching the cartoon since she was a kid. She was happy that I invited her hehe

I feel so sexy sandwiched in between Yogi Bear and Boo Boo

Watch the movie to find out how Yogi Bear (Dan Aykroyd) & his faithful pal Boo Boo (Justin Timberlake) and of course, Ranger Smith (Tom Cavanagh) save the Jellystone Park from being sold by the conniving Mayor Brown! Rounding up the cast is Ana Farris as Rachel Johnson, a visiting documentary filmmaker. Together they unite to plan how to stop the mayor from selling the park to loggers. 

Selling Jellystone Park to loggers would mean no more pic-a-nic basket to steal, families will no longer enjoy the nature Jellystone Park has to offer. Now more than ever, Yogi Bear should prove that he is smarter than the average bear!

Showing in theaters January 26, 2011. Also available in 3D!

Walt Disney Pictures presents Tangled

I am not a movie critic but I was lucky enough to be invited to a special screening of Walt Disney Pictures' latest cartoon entitled Tangled.  It was held last Saturday in Columbia Pictures Preview Room, Shangrila Plaza Mall. 

Tangled is a modern day comedy and action adventure film made for the entire family. It is a story with a twist about Rapunzel and her 70 feet hair, her chameleon sidekick and avid supporter- Pascal, the Captain of the Guard's horse named Maximus and of course, protagonist/antagonist hero in the movie, Flynn Rider and life happily ever after.

The movie starts with a golden flower tucked in a hidden location in the mountain by a selfish old woman who wanted to stay young forever. The flower is soon discovered to have a gift giving life. It is then presented to the ailing pregnant queen. Soon, Rapunzel is born.
