X Men Origins: Wolverine

Yesterday night me and hubby watched the movie, X Men Origins: Wolverine. Being a fan of X Men, I just can’t let this pass. Aside from that, ~~I want~~ I have a huge crush on Hugh Jackman as Wolverine (the character only, not Hugh Jackman). Actually I am having second thoughts if this movie is worth leaving my kids for a night, as I have read some not so good reviews about it. I also got a hold of its full and detailed synopsis/story and even the bonus scene after the credits (spoiler!) thank you very much imbd.

Let’s begin with the story, this is not wiki or imbd so I will just give a short synopsis of the movie. X Men Origins tells the story of Wolverine, plain and simple. LOL It details the life of Logan before his memory was wiped out and even how his memory was wiped out. It tells his life, his romantic past and his very complex relationship with Victor(Sabretooth) and Stryker(remember him?). New mutants was seen and even famous one that we have been all waiting to appear. X Men Origins, as the title suggest, is the event that leads to the movie, X Men.

Hugh Jackman, of course, starred as Wolverine. Liev Schreiber ( The Painted Veil and Love in the time of Cholera,wow) as Sabretooth while Danny Huston makes Wolverine’s life miserable as William Stryker. Other characters (that is worth mentioning) are: Lynn Collins as Kayla Silverfox, Tim Pocock as the young Scott Summers and Scott Adkins as Weapon XI.

Stryker’s Weapon X unit characters:
Dead Pool (Wade Wilson) by Ryan Reynolds (Definietly Maybe)
The Blob ( Frederick J. Drukes) by Kevin Durand
The Bolt (Chris Bradley) by Dominic Monaghan
John Wraith by Will i Am
Agent Zero by Daniel Henney ( Kim Sam Soon).ohh

Then we have, no less than, Gambit himself, finally! portrayed by Taylor Kitsch.

To make this easier I’ll start with the story line. Oh well, it does give a clearer shot of Logan, but in the end, there are still questions that are left unanswered or makes you question more. The presentation of the story specially the first part was good, it really established the past of Logan and Victor. There are scenes that would make you think you are watching Australia ( Hugh Jackman’s movie with Nicole Kidman) rather than Wolverine (or is it just me?). There are boring and no thanks kind of scenes. The fight scenes are not that superb as there are scenes that are too fast (or is it an effects because of the nature of the fighters?) whatever it is, it is not very pleasing to watch. Cool scenes are of course undeniably present. Wade and Logan gives another genre to the movie, comedy (mushy kind) that is. Breathtaking scenes? just one, the helicopter scene, so better watch out for it because that is where all the action is. Breathtaking sceneries? a lot. Music wise, they don’t have any that as memorable as the other X Men movies have(I hope you know what I am talking about because right now, that sound effect is playing on my head).

I am quite confused with Gambit’s appearance, my thoughts are, is it just a way to please X Men fans? Gambit was really one of my favorite character (from watching X Men cartoons LOL) so it was quite disappointing to see him finally on this movie without much of a history about him. I don’t even consider his role a big one (what? a tour guide of Logan?), power display wise, OK he had his time.

To wrap it up, this movie is not that bad, but it’s not that good too but it was worth leaving my kids for a night.LOL

Watch it guys, if like me, who watched all the other three in cinema, why not let this one pass?

Kayil’s Take On Special Days

Last night I told Kayil, Mother’s day is near, so in case, what would be his gift for Mommy? Thinking for a while, he blurted out, when is BROTHER’S DAY? so much for mommy’s day…

This morning Kayil told me that he wants a piñata on Chico’s birthday.. awww.. (Mommy wants a piñata too, but, er, it is really messy)

Now for his birthday, he said he wants a party. A party with visitors, with decorations, with balloons and lots of food and cake of course. On his 4th birthday, we gave him a costume party. On his 5th we just brought him to a toy store and let him choose whatever he wants, which backfired at us. Now he said we didn’t give him a gift last year..ouch..

And the last straw, he wants us to have a wedding, a wedding church, the grand one.. OH MY..

kids are watching too much TV..

LP: Bridge

This my entry for LP’s tulay. This is not the usual bridge (water below type). This is your what to take, to C5 or to Ortigas Avenue, part. The past few themes for LP was very challenging to me, like last week’s building. I am a stay at home mom and it is very rare that I see (or had a chance to take a snap) the outside world. My bestfriend is my PC.LOL Anyway, this one is taken on a very rare occasion, hubby and I had a date! Going home from watching Wolverine, we were greeted by a lot of people on the road, like a rally or so. Traffic was a bit heavy considering it was past eleven. That’s a good thing because I was able to take a snap of this bridge intersection.

Eto po ang lahok ko para sa LP ngayong linggo. Hindi ito ang karaniwang tulay na kung saan ay nagdudgtong sa dalawang lupa na nahahati ng isang uri ng tubig. Ito po ay parte ng isang kalasda na nakataas na kung saan ay kailangan mo magdesisyon kung papunta ka ba ng C5 o didiretsuhin mo lang ang Ortigas Avenue. Sa salita ng mga anak ko, ito ang parte kung saan, kami ay papunta ba ng Tagaytay o sa kanilang Lola. Sa totoo lang nahirapan talaga ako sa temang ito, katulad din ng tema noong nakaraang linggo. Ako po kase ay mabuting ~~taong bahay~~ maybahay at madalang na makasagap ng sariwang hangin. Ito po ay kuha isang gabing nagkaroon ng milagro, uy nag date kami! Papauwi mula sa panonood ng Wolverine, nasalubong namin ang napakaraming tao sa kalsada na animo may rally.Ang daloy ng trapiko ay naging mas mabagal at ito ay nakabuti sa akin dahil nagkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na makuhanan ang tulay na ito.
