Kevin was overjoyed to find his home empty of people that day.  He played, he watched gang movies, eats a lot of junk food, etc.  He also created a mess on Buzz’s room.  While alone, he needs to deal with his fear from his neighbor Mr. Marley.  He also learned that the Wet Bandits are targeting his house.  Meanwhile, Kevin’s mother Kate tried everything on getting home as soon as possible.

On Christmas Eve, Kevin befriend with Mr. Marley and went home to prepare booby traps for the two bandits who are about to rob Kevin’s house.  The two robbers are no match with the traps and suffered a lot from Kevin.  Kevin then escaped but was captured.   Mr. Marley knocked down the two bandits with a shovel and Kevin returns home.  On Christmas day, Kate arrived home and gave Kevin a big hug then the whole family arrived right after.

This movie is hilarious especially on the part were Kevin was enjoying his time alone and when the Wet Bandits are trying to rob Kevin’s house.   I’d say the whole family would definitely enjoy this and in fact one of the best family movies at all times.   A lot of moral lessons can be derived from this movie that even toddlers would be able to relate.  Two thumbs up for this movie!

There is one flaw however on Dr. Pavlov’s method.  The process reverts back whenever she hears Big Ben’s bell.  One time she saw Dipstick and his puppies.  This drove Cruella back to her own personality obsessed with fur and devised a plan to get her ultimate fur coat.  She then sends her thugs Alonzo and Jean-Pierre LePelt to get 102 Dalmatian puppies.

The three villains tricked Kevin Shepherd and set up a scheme where Cruella can use him as an escape goat for the police investigation.  Kevin escapes prison and meets up with Chloe in which they were captured on a later part.  Oddball managed to rescue his family with the help of Alonzo who turned to be a good guy on the later part and put back Cruella back in prison.

A cool and a happy ending, this is what makes this movie really interesting to watch.  It’s fun and full of wits.  This movie also shows that sometimes, people never change.  Sometimes, people try to change for good but later on get back their old self creating more chaos along the way.  This film is highly recommended for young audiences though teen agers and adults won’t really enjoy this that much.

According to the other reviews, this episode of the MIB got the highest rating.  Others find it more amusing and the story makes more sense than the previous one.   It still has some bits and pieces of wits and funny moments which does take away and made the boring parts negligible.  It was fun and more entertaining which will definitely get the attention of the children and teenagers alike.

This episode of MIB is a bit more exciting than the previous one.  Though it lacks freshness and just recycled most of the elements from the previous MIB, it is still an action packed sci-fi movie.   The comedy on this film is a bit retro just like the previous MIB but overall it is still worth watching especially if you’re up to movie sequels.

This story will surely be enjoyed by kids.   The movie is too comical for most teenagers so they won’t enjoy it as much as the little kids do.  It’s a bit cartoonish for adults but an action packed movie.  The good thing about this movie is that they featured great actors such as Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.  It took away the boringness of the movie.  It’s like an old school movie that tried its best to be modern.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

A Cybertronian spacecraft carrying a weapon capable of ending the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons escaped Cybertron.  The ship crash landed on the dark side of the moon and was detected by the humans.  The US government was the first to send an investigating team which was also the first mission to the moon.  Back on the present day, Sam is frustrated because he cannot work with the Autobots and he cannot find a job.  In addition to that, he’s jealous of his girlfriend’s boss.

When Sam finally found a job, his eccentric colleague Jerry Wang tried to warn him but Megatron already ordered a hit on those who knew about the space mission.  Sam also discovered that the Decepticons have hundreds of pillars while the Autobots have five.  He also learned that the Sentinel is the key in activating the pillars.  Later on the story, the Sentinel killed Iron Hide which is not known to the Autobots.  The Sentinel managed to transports hundreds of Decepticons to Earth which enabled them to invade the whole Chicago.

The Autobots escaped the exile which was actually an ambush.  They returned secretly to Chicago and waged war against the Decepticons.  With the aid of the NEST and other special forces, they were able to defeat the Decepticons but it killed Que (Autobots Scientist) on the process.  When Sentinel was about to kill Optimus, Megatron shot the Sentinel.  Optimus then killed Megatron then the Sentinel.   The pillars were destroyed along with it the Cybertron.

Among the three Transformers, this has the longest running battle.  It was a great movie with almost zero boring part.  The first and the second Transformers were extraordinary but this Transformer is outstanding.   Michael Bay really had some thought on the Transformer and all of the three episodes really earned well.  Though the Cybertron was destroyed and the existing villains were all slain, the Transformer fans are hoping for a fourth episode.

Tranformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Thirteen Primes travel the galaxy to harvest sun energy thousands of years ago.  They don’t destroy a sun if one of its planets has a life.  One of them defied this law and was named The Fallen.  On the present day, the Autobots are now working with humans’ secret group called NEST and they got a warning from one of the Decepticons that was slain in Shanghai operation.   The Decepticons on the other hand found where Megatron was laid to rest.

The remaining pieces of the Allspark were stolen by the Decepticons and revived Megatron.  After getting raised from the dead, he then reunited with the Fallen.  Another Allspark shard was with Sam and it channeled images of Cybertronian symbols.  Sam went to college where he met Leo and Alice (a Decepticon shape shifter).   Sam managed to kill Alice but he was captured by the Decepticons.  Sam was rescued by Optimus at the cost of his life.  Sam went to Simmons for a help to translate the images he sees.  Here they discovered that Jetfire is still alive and helped them interpret the images for Sam.

If you liked the first Transformers, there is no doubt you will like this better.  It’s an action packed movie and children aging from six onwards will surely enjoy this film.  Galloway was annoying but it was hilarious when he got dropped on some random Egyptian Desert.  The movie was really good and is really worth watching.  If you’re a fan of Transformers, you will definitely watch this film several times over.

Sam and Mikaela became friends along the way and the Autobots assisted them and protected them so they can’t be captured by the Decepticons.   Unfortunately, the government is also after them and they were captured including Bumble Bee.  The Decepticons located the Allspark where Sam was taken and the rest of the Decepticons were rallied and attacked the US secret base.  The Autobots managed to get the Allspark to Los Angeles and the battle ended there.   Sam inserted the cube to Megatron’s chest and killed him.  Megatron’s body was dumped into Laurentian Abyss.

This was a very exciting movie for those who were born on the 80’s.  It is like a dream come true.  Transformers is finally on film and not cartoons.  This movie doesn’t have dull moments at all.  Surely kids enjoyed this movie but the adults enjoyed it better.   The effects and storyline is remarkable.  For me this is one of the greatest movies ever created so far.  Michael Bay did a very good job on this film.

This version of Spider-Man is a bit different from the previous one.   The story was good but it lacks action.  This movie was just really intended for teenagers nothing more.  Personally, I like the movie but I wouldn’t want to watch it the second time.  I still find the previous Spider-Man more enjoyable and have more effects that this.  This is a good movie but the previous version is better.

Spider-Man 3

On the previous Spiderman, Peter was having a hard time managing his crime fighting whereabouts and his love life.  Now, he finally found a way to balance this.  On the other hand, Harry Osborn became the new Goblin and swore to avenge his father’s death.   The two fought against each other and Spiderman knocked down the Goblin in the end.  This gave Harry a temporary amnesia.  Meanwhile, a black element found its way to earth and attached itself on Spiderman’s suit.  This amplified his power but amplified Peter’s dark side as well.

Peter discovered that Marko is the one who was responsible for Uncle Ben’s death.  Now that the symbiotic dark entity from space is with Peter now, it drastically changed Peter’s personality.  He broke up with Mary Jane and made her jealous; he confronts Harry telling him that his father did not love him; lastly, he exposed Eddie Brock doctoring a photograph of Spiderman as a criminal.

Peter later on realized that the symbiote is slowly controlling him.  He cannot take off the suit but he discovered that a high sound intensity could weaken the alien.  At the church bell, he successfully removed the symbiote but it fell to Brock making him the villain known as Venom.  Venom joined forces with Marko the Sandman.   On the other hand, Spiderman and the Goblin worked together for the sake of lost friendship and Mary Jane.  The wicked suffered and the good prospered on this dual battle. 

Spider-Man 3 has its exciting part and has its boring moments.  The exciting part is where the Black Spiderman is taking care all of the bad guys and how Brock turned to Venom.   I don’t know with others but I find the history of Sandman a little boring.   The part when Peter made Mary Jane jealous was a little senseless to me.  Anyway the story is still fun to watch as a whole.  Not too good for very young audiences but for those who know what super hero is all about, this movie is one of the best.

This episode of Spider-man is as exciting as the previous one.  It contains action and drama.  What made the story worth watching is the reactions of the people close to Spiderman when they discovered it was Peter.  Revelations on Spiderman's true identity was really cool. Most teenagers will like this movie same as the older ones.  Kids below 7 years old might find the movie a little boring.  All in all it was a good movie to watch.

The story of this 1^st episode of Spiderman was based from the original Marvel comic book.  Peter Parker is an orphan child who is living with his uncle Ben and Aunt May.  He is a nerd type, bullied at school and most of all, he can’t confess on his childhood crush Mary Jane Watson.  One day on an excursion, he was bitten by a genetically engineered spider which gave him extra ordinary powers.

Peter’s physical features changed dramatically overnight.  He got muscle –bound physique, super clear vision, ability to climb walls, spider sense and ability to shoot web from his wrist not to mention super human agility and strength.  His life changed a lot especially after his Uncle Ben was shot and died.  He became a super hero.  Green Goblin emerged after Norman Osborn’s research was turned down by the board of directors of his company.  He then murdered the board one by one and tried to convince Spiderman to join him.

Later on the story, the Green Goblin discovered that Peter Parker was Spiderman.  They came face to face and in the end, the Green Goblin accidentally killed himself.  Spiderman brought his lifeless body to his home where his son saw Spiderman laying him down on a couch.  Harry thought Spiderman killed his father and he became the second Goblin on the later episode.

This movie is really for teenagers.  It shows that teenagers have its rebellious moments against parents or guardians but later on they will realize that they were wrong.  The point is not about great power comes great responsibility but it is about how you care for the people that surrounds you not just to those close to you but to the community.  With or without powers we achieve goals beyond imagination if we will only help each other.

Andy’s expertise on financial matters became very important in prison and with the guards.  He was then assigned to the library where he takes care of the prison’s financial issues.  He also requested that the library needs some improvement.  Andy received donations for the library after Brooks (a fellow inmate) hanged himself.  Norton on the other hand exploited the prison labor for public works and he had Andy launder the money for him.

On his stay in prison he made another friend whose name is Tommy Williams who later on revealed that there was another inmate on another prison who already claimed the responsibility of murdering Andy’s wife but the warden did not listen to this.  He does not want to let go of Andy.  Because of this, Andy escaped the prison and he sent evidences to local newspaper about the corruption and murders inside Shawshank prison.  He also took the money that he laundered for Norton and lived Zihuatanejo in Mexico.  Red later on joined him after receiving parole.

The story of Shawshank Redemption does happen in real life.  Corruption, murders, drugs and a lot of things still happens inside the prison.  This movie depicts the real life in prison.  The story is dramatic with a lot of lessons to learn.  The only thing that is not a good example in this story is escaping prison.  However, the story also teaches us that even in the lowest point in our lives; we still need to have hopes.  If we persevere and think smart, we will surely have a happy ending.

It was known to Pitch that when he takes away the things that will make the children believe in the Guardians, will make the Guardians weak. So he started the attack by taking all the children’s teeth and the childhood memories stored in them, all but one. This was followed by attacking Jack and Sandy which seems to have destroyed the Sandman.

Jamie, the last child who believes the Guardians was able to restore their powers which defeated Pitch on the final battle bringing sandy back to life. In the end, Jack finally sworn to be a Guardian.

Some reviews of this film was ridiculed because of the characters the story. Example is that, not all people believe in Santa like the Jews and Muslims. On the other hand, some people find it amusing because of the effects that were rendered on this film. It still has a story that can create an imagination for most of the children who watched the film. With the correct guidance of the parents, this is still one of the good movies out there.

In China, Yuri and his sons were able to get into the Ark whilst the others
were left behind because they don’t have tickets.  Fortunately, Tenzin passed
by them and brought them to the ark as well.  They managed to get inside the
ark without tickets but because they have entered ark where the hydraulics are
located, some unexpected events happened.  Gordon and Tamara died along the
way but Jackson and his son saved the day by getting the lodged impact driver
that is stuck in the hudraulics.

If you are looking for a suspense movie to watch together with the family,
this is one of the best out there.  It was rated PG-13 for the intense
disaster.  This maybe a little scary for younger children but for people who
is old enough to understand that this is just a product of an imaginative
mind, they will surely enjoy this.
