Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)

Movies No Comments »

Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs PosterMy favorite animated film just hit theaters yesterday and what a hilarious 94-minute ride it was. I was pretty skeptical at first as to what possible storyline could still be made after 2 great Ice Age hits, but they did one heck of a job. I don’t recall the last time I laughed so hard watching a movie and this is definitely the BEST of the three films so far. I actually think adults might enjoy this movie more than the kids will, but for sure, this is a movie no one who wants to laugh their hearts out should miss. I looooved it!

The storyline of the movie moved from one of survival to friendship and now to family. In the third installment, Ellie and Manny are expecting their first child and as with many soon-to-be dad’s, he becomes obsessed with making things perfect and safe for his new family. Diego chases an antelope and ends up running out of breath with the antelope making fun of him in the end while Sid is his usual slobbering self looking for his place in the herd (or out of it). And of course, the side story of Scrat’s never-ending pursuit of his acorn but humorously finds love this time around… or does he?

Scrat and Scratte

The speed bump in the movie comes in when the herd meets Buck, played by Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead fame, MI3, and Star Trek), a hermit possum who has a few bells ringing after a life and death encounter with Rudy, the largest carnivorous dinosaur in the world. He has been foraging through the world underneath the ice and joins the herd in the hopes of saving Sid from a Momma Dino.

The Herd

The cast is again as great as ever with the two crazy possums in Crash and Eddie tickling your funny bones in practically every scene. And with the new character in Buck leading the way blessed by Simon Pegg’s awesome English accent and the ride the herd takes to save Sid added to the tinge of how a real family should be, makes Dawn of the Dinosaurs a truly heart-warming and entertaining third installment!

Manny and Peaches

There was a part in the movie that was probably one of the most hilarious movie scenes ever where the herd was on track to find Sid and had to cross a chasm of “poison green fumes.” You guys need to watch the movie to know what I’m talking about and I won’t spoil it for anyone but I guarantee you’re going to laugh like crazy. So what are you guys waiting for? Besides the disappointing 7.7 rating by IMDB, I highly recommend this movie and it’s definitely not even close to that rating!

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. And in this case, it’s up to you how you want to interpret this Jollibee moment. I won’t say anymore except leave everyone with what my cousin (who sent me this MMS) humorously said…

A Jollibee Moment

“tag hirap na even jollibee has to commute.”

He he! So if you guys have more of these “moments” from our favorite fast food chain, please feel free to send me a picture of it and I’ll definitely post it on the blog and we can all have more laughs. Thanks!

NBA Finals 2009: Lakers vs Magic!

NBA, Sports 3 Comments »

All the talk and hype about a Lebron-Kobe showdown is OVER and my darkhorse pick to get to the Finals detroyed Lebron’s Cavs this morning in very convincing fashion. Superman scored 40 points and went 12-16 from the line to trounce the Cavs and Lebron had his worst game this post-season. The “Magic upset” paved way to a very intriguing Finals match-up against the highly-touted Lakers in Staples next Thursday.

Kobe's Lakers vs Dwight's Magic
The Cavs were so favored in the Conference Finals series, they actually had majority of the NBA analysts saying they’d sweep the Magic. Give me a break. If you’re a Magic fan like I am, you know that it would be impossible for them to have done so. The world now knows how good this Magic team is and how much better this match-up is between them and the Lakers is compared to the Cavs.

(2) Los Angeles Lakers vs (4) Orlando Magic

Let’s break this Final series down. In the regular season, the Magic beat the Lakers 2-0, 1 at home and 1 on the road. Does that record matter in the Finals? Unlike the Cavs series where the Magic had a better head-to-head record that also mattered this post-season, this one against the Lakers does not. In both games, Jameer Nelson scored a total of 55 points and burned the Lakers. He’s gone now and Rafer Alston isn’t going to be even close. Next, Trevor Ariza was an afterthought back then but now he’s a certified starter and is the X-factor for the Lakers winning the series altogether.

Dwight vs Kobe in the Finals
And with those two changes, it made the regular season record irrelevant. The Lakers became a much better team. They got stronger in defense with Ariza starting and he has also shown a ton of potential on the offensive end. Goodbye Vladimir Radmanovic. The Magic, on the other hand, lost a lot of scoring in the point but had Courtney Lee grow up right before our eyes and more importantly have Pietrus emerge as their X-factor in both ends also. So who DOES have the better team? Let’s break it down.

Prison Break Season 4 Season Finale: The Series Closer

TV 7 Comments »

Prison Break has always found a way to survive from one season to the next (except for the 1st one) going circles around practically the same problems over and over again. You’d think that it’s the end but it actually isn’t. But this time,  it’s for real, and this series has breathed its last gasp, but it surprisingly ended in a pretty good way. The season finale for Season 4 is also the curtain closer for the very successful hit TV series. The last push for Michael Scofield and his team to retrieve Scylla is finally coming to an end. I won’t put any spoilers up but a lot of people will be surprised how the story ended. 

Prison Break Season 4 Finale

As a fan who loved this show from the start, I am surprised how they were able to end it as well as they did, but was a little disappointed at how abrupt some of the things happened for Scofield’s team. It’s like they rushed it for a happy (or sad) ending. That probably didn’t make any sense to those who haven’t watched the last 2 episodes but once you do, you’ll totally get what I mean. Nonetheless, cheers to the end of a pretty decent series, at least the last episode was worth watching. The free download for the FINAL 2 episodes can be found below in HDTV and 720p options.

Star Trek OST (2009)

Music No Comments »

Star Trek’s latest success in the big screen did not only rely on great directing and casting but on the soundtrack as well. And again, JJ Abrams has collaborated with his long time partner Michael Giacchino who has his own personal attachment to the film as he was a big fan of the series and the original music. You’d think a score like this would be done pretty simply since it is Star Trek but they utilized a 107-piece orchestra and a 40-person choir! Imagine that.

Star Trek OST

The partnership between the two isn’t new as it has spanned through the music in Lost, the Fringe, and Mission Impossible III. Now with this latest score breathing new life into a cult classic that looks unbelievably fresh and new, a sequel would inevitably follow. But the OST is definitely more dramatic but still very loyal to the original sound it started with. You can download the entire OST below either from NewTorrents or Hotfile. Have a good one!
