In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Reynolds).

Movie Review: Senior Year

Senior Year

Few weeks ago, I get the chance to see this independent film entitled "Senior Year." It's basically a flash back story on the lives of different people during their senior year in high school.

IT'S COMPLICATED

When you're in high school everything seems so complicated. You're in this stage where you have to discover a lot of things and the burden of knowing what's right and wrong is not enough - you have to know what's best for you and for the people around you.

Mermaids in Pirates of the Caribbean

Two Filipino-American actors join Johnny Depp in his quest for the Fountain of Youth in Walt Disney Pictures’ “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” They are Daphne Joy and Michael Rosales, who play a mermaid and a pirate on the Queen Anne’s Revenge, respectively.

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), Jack Sparrow (Depp) is not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica.

Movie Review: Water For Elephants

By Sai

Love stories amazes most of us, especially to people like me - a die-hard romantic! With so many love stories of different angles and how they are portrayed in movie screens, it's really hard to stand out.

8 out of 10

I don't know but I think I expected too much from this film and I'm a bit disappointed. I love Robert Pattinson, don't get me wrong! I love him especially as Edward Cullen in Twilight movies. His personality in this film is actually interesting - a man who lost everything and while on the road to real life he met Marlena (Reese Witherspoon).

When I saw Christoph Waltz' face I was so ecstatic! I was excited to watch his acting and how he puts life to August Rosenbluth's character. Boy, oh boy! I'm his fan! I saw him in the movie Inglorious Basterds. I must say that he really portrays characters with a very violent personality well! He's one of the best actors that the entertainment industry has! Reese Witherspoon's acting  is okay. It's not outstanding (Reese's fans, please don't hate me!). Knowing that I'm a Robert Pattinson fan, I was not moved by his acting either. Yes, there were parts where I was touched but it was not something that I would always share to people. I would not talk about it every day like what I did with Avatar, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Easy A!

AS AN ANIMAL LOVER

Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon

I pity Rosy, the elephant, in this movie especially when August (Christoph Waltz) hit her many times. My heart was torn when I saw her body bleeding. If this movie will be outstanding, it would be because of Rosy. I love this angle of the movie rather than the love story. I think the love story is just a typical one. I've seen this plot a lot of time but the part where the movie touches hearts of people who love and advocate for animal rights was beyond fantastic! Who would ever thought that the end that we have foreseen in this movie would be twisted by an elephant. Rosy brought Jacob and Marlena together.

WATCH IT!

Here's a trailer of the movie. Watch this movie with your friends or family members and see if we have the same point of view. If you don't agree with me feel free to leave some comments below. Water for Elephants will be shown in your favorite cinemas on May 4.

Movie Review: Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules

This movie is really hilarious! What I like about this movie is that every inch of it makes sense!

Yes! Most of us might have experienced Greg’s dilemma – your older brother/sister bullying you around. As for me, I’m the eldest so I bully my brother and watching this movie made me reminisce those days when I used to hate my brother for no reason at all. I love him, of course but there’s just something that we can’t agree on.

SIBLING RIVALRY

This is the number one reason why siblings fight. This is not happening to kids only. This also happens to adults. Sibling rivalry is inevitable especially if there’s a big age gap between two siblings. There are a lot of things that might cause this and if you’ll ask me I believe that number one reason for this is the difference in the siblings’ interest and their environment outside home.
