With the help of a hip hop dance crew, they must find a common ground while preparing for a competition that could change their lives forever.


My Movie Review: The movie is all over the place trying to make it work but doesn't really add up still fun to watch. The modern routine with the groups was cool and the Manhattan vibe was really refreshing gets you to their world quickly. The mix of hip-hop and ballet maybe dope the violin stuff was just too sad and weird but don't get me wrong nice music. The reason I watch this was to be happy and inspired after a long day of work soo I did it.

My Movie Review: The movie is mysterious enough to catch my attention just looking at the poster you know your gonna get some cool vibes. It gives you an impression of alien invasion or extraterrestrial stuff but it also tackles the father and son relationship with a friend and a mother protecting their child against people tend to harm that's very intimate. It may have boring scene suddenly stuck me with action sequence caught me by surprise. Over-all blockbuster film in a smaller scale gives you something to look towards the finale.

In the middle of the night, his father, Roy, spirits him away from the isolated cult that practically worships him and is determined to regain him at all costs.

These rival hunts force father-son into desperate run towards a looming date with destiny that could change everything.

Plot: Just when Martha thought that she has found her "Mr. Right" who she believes to be the most perfect guy on Earth, he turns out to be someone she least expected him to be - a hitman on the run.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE HUNTSMAN WINTER'S WAR


Director: Cedric Nicolas-Troyan
Cast: Chris Hemsworth , Charlize Theron , Emily Blunt , Jessica Chastain , Colin Morgan , Nick Frost , Sam Claflin , Sheridan Smith , Rob Brydon , Alexandra Roach , Mark Haldor
Plot: Evil Queen Ravenna betrays her good sister, Freya, causing Freya to retreat to a kingdom far to the north. With her heart now unable to love, she demands that no two in her legion of deadly huntsmen should ever fall in love. When the two queens start a war for domination, Freya's most elite huntsman, Eric, and fellow warrior, Sara, are the only heroes standing between them.


My Movie Review: The movie is cold the winter is literally felt in the cinemas but keeping us warm from time to time pretty much average twisted story. The effects were astounding match from its predecessor but few scenes were over explored felt like spoon feeding. Ravena made much impression despite of minimal appearance on the contrary Ice Queen have too much exposure like the film was made for her and will the rest for you to find out.
My Favorite Lines: "If it’s a fairytale you’re hoping for, prepare yourself for so much more. You will train, you will harden, you will become my huntsman." "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" "If it’s the Snow White tale you’re looking for, discover the story that came before." "We have much to do, little sister." "Men have forgotten what it means to be afraid. We will bring the fear to them." "Hello Huntsman. Oh I’ve missed you."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: MACAU MUSEUM (MUSEU DE MACAU)

My Personal Experience: I went to Macau Musem (Museu de Macau) last November 26, 2014, together with sister and her husband. We were seizing the moment on our last stop in Macau despite of the minimal time going to the ferry boat. My sister's husband went inside the museum while my sister and I went to take photos on the rooftop and on ground

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE JUNGLE BOOK


Director: Jon Favreau
Cast: Ben Kingsley , Scarlett Johansson , Bill Murray , Idris Elba , Christopher Walken
Plot: Mowgli is a man-cub raised by a family of wolves whose friends include a bear named Baloo and a panther by the name of Bagheera. The young boy is forced to flee the only home he's ever known when a fearsome tiger, Shere Khan, goes after him. Accompanied by his friends, Mowgli embarks on a journey of self-discovery.


My Movie Review: The movie is creative usually not my cup of tea since I don't watched much animal stories in big screen but this one change my prospective in viewing pleasure. The jungle is definitely alive in this visual spectacle with bright colors and distinct motions captured right before our eyes. The story gets much more better as it progresses keeping you wanting more with surprises whose animals are nice or wild kind'a tricky but I like that.
My Favorite Character: Raksha- The Mother Wolf

Raksha is a fictional character featured in Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories, collected in The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book. She is a female Indian wolf, member of the Seeonee pack, who while suckling her own cubs decides also to adopt a human "cub" that her mate Father Wolf has found wandering in the jungle, naming him "Mowgli" (which means "frog" in the Speech of the Jungle) because of his hairlessness.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: MACAU THE FORTRESS ARMOURIAL GATE

My Personal Experience: I went to The Fortress Armourial Gate last November 26, 2014, together with my sister and her husband. We were roaming around The Ruins of Saint Paul's Church until we found the path going to the fortress. This part is full of tall trees and various plants that makes the vibe windy and whimsical perfect for relaxing and reflection.













The Fortress Armourial Gate
The path on the Fortress Armourial Gate is located past the ruins of St. Paul. The fortress is also adjacent to the Macau Museum and has a nice hillside view of Macau's tourist spot. The Armourial Gate is useful to know about mostly because that's where the toilets are located. The fortress on top is rather more impressive but the down hill is still worth a stop.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE


Director: Zack Snyder
Cast: Ben Affleck , Henry Cavill , Jesse Eisenberg , Amy Adams , Laurence Fishburne , Diane Lane , Jeremy Irons , Gal Gadot , Holly Hunter , Michael Shannon , Jena Malone , Jefferey Dean Morgan , Jason Momoa , Ray Fisher , Ezra Miller , Tao Okamoto
Plot: This action-packed film helmed by director Zack Snyder features two big heroes in the lead, namely Batman and Superman. Expect to see a gathering of heroes in this continuation to "Man of Steel". Batman takes on Superman as he fears that Superman's actions are left unchecked. While the two fight each other, Lex Luthor creates a new threat, Doomsday. The two heroes have to set aside their differences and, along with Wonder Woman, stop Metropolis from being destroyed by Lex Luthor and Doomsday.


My Movie Review: The movie is dark indulgently epic where every moment slow motion or fast as bullet scenes keeps you at the edge of your sit. This serves as a teaser on what's coming in the DC Universe over stretching ideas and keeping us excited on what's gonna happen next. Batman V Superman is really worth your time and gave justice to the story. Where you feel grieving but doesn't lose hope cause there's a chance that is not over yet.
My Favorite Lines: "That's how it starts. The fever, the rage, the feeling of powerlessness that turns good men...cruel." "Twenty years in Gotham. How many good guys are left? How many stay that way?" "Do you know the oldest lie in America? It's that power can be innocent." "Man is still good. We break things, tear them down, but we can rebuild. We can be better, we have to be." "The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world, god versus man, day versus night." "Boys! Mmm! Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent. I love it! I love bringing people together!' "The red capes are coming!" "The red capes are coming!"
