LIGHTS PARADE at SM MALL OF ASIA - Dec. 3, 2011

I was at the SM Mall of Asia Dec. 3, 2011 and we caught the Lights Parade parade at 7pm. It reminded me of the electrical parade I saw in the U.S. particularly the one at California Disney Adventure theme park.

This Lights Parade at SM Mall of Asia adds additional flair or 'pogi points' to the mall self-regarded as 'no other mall comes close'. Also, the upcoming ferris wheel called MOA Eye at the San Miguel By The Bay area compliments it even more.

Here are some photos I took of the Lights Parade at SM Mall of Asia

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: YAM LARANAS' THE ROAD (2011)

I saw THE ROAD (2011) directed by Yam Laranas. This is the best FILIPINO film I saw this year and it's a remarkable achievement by Yam Laranas after his lame 'Patient X' film. This horror story spans 2 decades split in 3 segments, Part I is 2008, part II is 1998 and part III is 1988. Each segment has a different story which interconnects in the climax. A supernatural mix blended with police investigative work. The anticlimax is one memorable sequence. The director's use of lights and shadows gave an atmospheric sense of creepiness. The editing and the cinematography are outstanding. Carmina Villaroel is the standout in the cast, she qualms up every scene as the domineering mother. Barbie Forteza and Rhian Ramos played their part well, Alden Ricards played the memorable psycho killer in a Norman Bates kind of portrayal giving one of the finest performances. Highly recommended film, be warned that this is rated R-13, meaning those below 13 are not allowed inside, that's why I was left to see the film alone while my family went to see 'Won't Last A Day Without You'. Don't fail to watch this fine Filipino flick, in theaters ! not the pirated DVD please. My ratings: 5 out of 5 Biscuits ! Yam Laranas is back on track here, a good compilation of work including 'Sigaw' and 'The Echo' just forget about 'Patient X' ...LOL !!

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: THE ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN : SECRET OF THE UNICORN (2011)

We saw THE ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN : SECRET OF THE UNICORN (2011) at Cinema 4, 3D Digital Theater at SM Mall of Asia, Nov. 30, 2011 Thursday. An old-fashioned adventure flick with plenty of Steven Spielberg's signature stamped all over. Also a dazzling motion capture flick uncannily combined with top-of-the-line CG animation. The film reminded me of the Indiana Jones movies with elements of Pirates of the Caribbean. Top-notch motion-capture performance by Andy Serkis, the actor behind such memorable characters like Gollum (Lord of the Rings), King Kong by Peter Jackson and Caesar (Rise of the Planet of the Apes). Great fun in this thrill ride of an adventure. My ratings: 5 out of 5 philippineonlineentertainment!

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: FRIGHT NIGHT (2011)

We saw FRIGHT NIGHT (2011) downloaded from PSPerspective.Net. A remake of the 1985 Roddy McDowald film. Colin Farrell's striking performance oozing with macho flair as the vampire. The 1985 film is a cult classic but the modernized version is clearly superior than the original in terms of visual effects, humor, gore, grittiness and freakiness. Welcome to Fright Night for real ! My ratings: 4.5 out of 5 philippineonlineentertainment!

DCRJ's MOVIE REVIEWS: BUNRAKU (2011)

BUNRAKU (2011). I saw the movie via glorious DVD from the pirates of Quiapo. A cowboy
(Josh Harnett) in a world without guns and a samuraii warrior (Gackt) without a sword
teamed-up to fight the evil lord of all criminals (Ron 'Hellboy' Perlman). A visual treat and
full of eye-candies but the acting, story and the pacing halts to a bore. A film tries hard to be
an overblown comic book based with the likes of a 'Sin City' and 'Max Payne' or any other
film noirs yet it suffered inconsistencies in all aspects. blah blah blah and blahdibliblah!
Amusing to see Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore together again, brought memories of
their film 'Indecent Proposal'. My ratings: 2 out of 5 philippineonlineentertainment!
