My Movie Review: The movie is evolving action sci-fi thriller turns into fantastic family drama!! The Titan is a weird human experiment about a man going to new inhabitable place to live that gone wrong in the hands of manipulative head that will anything to push through the program. Taylor Schilling is the saving grace as the wife who fight for her husband's memory and rights!! I thought in the trailer that most scenes will be shoot in the Saturn's Moon that the laboratory experiments and family struggles were just introductory turns out the film revolved most in that. Sam Worthigton is back on track as the military soldier that's willing to undergo body-morphing test for humanity's future that became an alien being in such unexpectedly chill comforting film.

Movie News: Nearly ten years since Sam Worthington was first transformed into a gangly blue alien in Avatar, he’s getting an extra-terrestrial makeover of a different kind in upcoming sci-fi thriller The Titan. The film is set on a near-future Earth where humanity is desperately seeking new home. But when the project gets underway, appears that the intentions of the mastermind behind it are more nefarious than first thought. We’ve got a first look at the project, with images of Rick Janssen in his human form and sporting a grey-skinned new look post-transformation! Alt Taylor Schilling as Dr. Abigail Janssen and Tom Wilkinson as Professor Martin Collingwood.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- GENKI SUSHI

My Personal Experience: I went to Genki Sushi this year March 22, 2018, together with my best friend. We went there to have authentic experience in one of the famous Japanese haven! Genki Sushi is the most unique restaurant from the way you order to how the food will be serve I've got little bit culture shock at first didn't expect we had something like that in the Philippines!

Genki Sushi was founded in 1968 with the promise of bringing sushi to the masses. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than exciting and impressing our customers with each plate we serve, and we believe that remaining true to this commitment will serve to increase our fan base and secure a solid footing in the sushi market.

My Movie Review: The movie is like date night meets scream mix with different twist and turn! Game Night is over-the-top comedy with sibling rivalry turned into thrill insane night out rescue that flips over when the bad guys are part of the game until it seems real ends up just a game:) Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams were both convincing and hilarious make this watchable fun flick the strong language and bloody violence becomes part of the jam-packed experience!! Billy Magnussen is adorable with his tough exterior bro in goofy vibe becomes my apple of eye his acting was natural partner with smart co-worker make perfect combination- the rising stars!!

More Description: "Game Night," about game-loving partiers who get drawn into a web of danger, is a raucously funny film that has a knack for going right up to the edge of nastiness. It starts out borderline ludicrous and keeps piling on improbabilities, until it leaves our world behind and become exercise in absurdity. The main couple, Max and Annie (Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams), hosts a regular game night at their suburban home. A cleverly-edited opening montage shows that games like Pictionary, Scrabble and Charades are the foundation of their relationship and led to their marriage. They've got a knack for figuring how far is too far, pushing right up to the border, then stopping with one toe over the line. This is one of the best surprises of a still-young movie year: a comedy that takes nothing seriously except making fun.

My Movie Review: The movie is childish and immature the promise of great visual may fool you but don't get lost in the glitter cause this don't deserve your precious time. A Wrinkle In Time is a mess you grew a wrinkle watching it and you regret choosing this over the other films such a waste of money and effort. The movie is non-sense I can't believe its Disney and have star-studded cast which talent wasted for the wrong exsiqution. This film trick us it seems good in the trailer but it's not hides a weird villain and really bad taste of style. I think Mindy Kaling is kinda annoying and even hate Storm Reid and Deric McCabe for too much exposure to the point their in your face felt force. I wish to have more sighting for Chris Pine and Michael Peña!

Movie News: A Wrinkle In Time is a book about Meg Murry and the quest to find her father. The tale almost never saw the light of day. Unlike L’Engle’s previous novels, this one puzzled publishers. Some rejected it because they believed its themes too challenging for young readers. Some objected to its portrayal of evil, and still others wouldn’t bet on a female sci-fi protagonist. All told, it met with some 26 rejections before Farrar, Straus and Giroux took a chance. The book, the first in what would come to be known as the Time Quintet series, hasn’t gone out of print. 50th anniversary in 2012 Wrinkle sold more than 10 million copies worldwide.

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- KIMONO KEN

My Personal Experience: I went to Kimono Ken this year March 14, 2018, together with my best friend. We went there to have another dinner make sighting on Japanese food. Kimono Ken is little bit expensive in my book their meal range from 185 to 295 without rice and drinks. My meal with price tonkatsudon 220 gohan or rice 60, iced tea 60 service charge not included:(

Kimono Ken

Kimono Ken takes absolute pride in its contemporary and fusion menu offerings, which cling to the palate and urges you to keep coming back for more - making dining at Kimono Ken all the more unforgettable. For a decade, Kimono Ken's Japanese dishes continue to entice and enthrall the Filipino appetite. Quintessence states: "Enticingly Japanese For Less" Kimono Ken certainly stayed true to their core by serving unique delicacies that are pocket-friendly to their distinguished customers. In all eight branches in the city, Kimono Ken stays rooted to their philosophy of peoples passion to creating excellent service straight from the kitchen goodness.

Tomb Raider is a must-see and essential taking us to a survival mode giving us the adventures on the way in the high speed spontaneous action, might find yourself enjoying it comes natural. Alicia Vikander is such a competent actress the performance she gave was very good while taking the bad ass hits after fall in this film her strength is unbeatable and her will is admirable!! The overall rating maybe average but still satisfying the first scenes eye catching fresh to the boat scene with huge waves captivate in the island come sub-par but deliver in the cave maze!

My Movie Review: The movie is cold sexy manipulative spy thriller give you bites of pleasure!! Red Sparrow is crossing the line what actors can do for a role nowadays it's empowering and bold than others that might overwhelming at times your conservative consciousnesses triggers! Wishing you didn't see match detail some viewers leave the cinemas they can't take the scene in such manner the suspense kick-in that it become a thinking film which side is she really on?! Jennifer Lawrence is now unstoppable she bears it all in this film I thought Mother! is extreme she took it from other level of craziness this time making controversial film maybe her purpose!
My Favorite Character: Dominika Egorova

Dominika is one of the main protagonists in Red Sparrow Trilogy by Jason Matthews. She became a spy for Russian intelligence service after a severe injury on her feet that ruined her prodigious career as ballerina. Dominika Egorova was born in Moscow, only child of professor Vassily Egorov and former musician Nina Egorova. Vanya Egorov wasn't close to his brother or his family, but he offered Dominika job for the Secret Service (SVR). In exchange, promised their apartment wouldn't be taken from her mother, now a widow. Dominika considered the offer outrageous given their situation she accepted it without knowing any details about the job.
