A sneak peak on The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader!

The most awaited trailer of the third movie installment of The Chronicles of Narnia is finally here! Fans saw the official trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader in 3D with the opening of Toy Story 3 in theaters. This marks the return of the Pevensie siblings Edmund and Lucy. Though in the book the two elder Pevensie's, Peter and Susan does not take part in the book, based on the trailer, we see them participating in some dream sequences perhaps (your guess is only as good as mine). So we will get to see William Mosely and Anna Popplewell reprise their roles. And of course for my part, I'm really looking forward to Ben Barnes' return to the big screen...here in the Philippines at least as his two other films Easy Virtue and Dorian Gray never saw a world wide release.

To all Narnia fans, here's a sneak peak on Voyage of the Dawn Treader!

Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time & Jake Gyllenhaal's rock-hard Biceps!

Needed to do some serious thinking over the weekend( as of this writing, 2 week has passed so I apologize for not updating my blog frequently), so there's no better way to do it by watching an action movie! Weird as may sound, I am able to think clearly after wards. I just needed to find some distraction before I get on with it.

My sister and I were exhausted for days, both mentally and physically, our guard is at it's highest! We anticipate all possibilities and always try to be on our toes (we're talking about an old relative here BTW). It's like playing chess, you watch your opponents every move while figuring out how to stay alive for your next move and eventually corner the king. Waah, I can only pray that time would pass without us even noticing it.Not that it does not ever happen, we just wanted it to be really quick and painless!


Going back to the film, my Supervisor told me that Prince of Persia is 10,000x much better that Clash of the Titans. Couldn't help raising an eyebrow over there for obvious reasons, but because my sister has a huge crush on Jake Gyllenhaal  since his "Bubble Boy" days, I agreed to watch it with her. I like Jake and his humor, I just prefer to watch his lighter movies instead. 

But Prince of Persia isn't so bad, come to think of it. Even with it's retro style of filming (think Errol Flynn jumping of windows onto a galopping horse! BTW Errol Flynn is an  actor known for his amazing swordsmanship.) we enjoyed it never the less.

Unlike Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia has more dynamics in terms of story line. There a few surprises along the way eventhough the story is bases on a video game. Whereas with Clash, everybody know whats going to happen as the story of Perseus and the other Greek Gods was taught to us in school, we just want to see how their going to add some "oomph" in the film. The former has better visual effects and cinematography though and is cooler in the eyes. while the latter, being shot in the dessert could be a little intense to look at and they could have done better with their camera angles as it has a tendency to look like it's all over the place, you know? E.g. arrows shooting right at is not very good, specially now with 3D technology!

As you may have noticed, I have been very busy lately and couldn't find the time to keep up with my post, but I'll do my best and try post 1 blog per week atleast for the sake of those who are kind enough to drop by on this web page =D

So my rating on Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? It's 3 1/2 stars! I know it's not 5 stars, but it is still worth your money. I wanted to add a funny video clip of Jake singing "Saturday Night Fever" but since I am at the office, viewing videos (speacially Youtube) is not allowed. Maybe next time *wink*




 

Top 10 ways to make ‘The Hobbit’ movie like ‘Avatar’

Top 10 ways to make ‘The Hobbit’ movie like ‘Avatar’

Though I'm always blogging and singing praises about the movie AVATAR, no amount of 3D or CGI effects can ever replace The Lord of the Rings as my favorite movie of all time! Avatar may be the highest grossing movie of all time, earning more than $ 2 Billion in the box-office, but if LOTR were shown today with the same technology that Avatar used, it would have earned twice as much. Trust me! Though James Cameron's movie is very relevant in a time where Global warming is a very serious issue that we face, as countries around the world are experiencing it's devastating effects. Still, the message that Tolkien conveys is very lyrical and timeless! The battle between Good and Evil remains to this day, and all of us, just like Frodo feels the weight of the Ring in his vest pocket as we go about our daily lives. Probably asking ourselves, should I do the right thing? or find the easy way out?

 

It has been 10 years since I have seen The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and I still feel it's magical spell on me. Every once in a while, I would dream of Elves passing outside our house, with their fell beauty in the twilight.

This post that I am blogging about is more on the humorous side, and it is just too enticing to pass by. Thanks to TheOneRing.net :)
