My Movie Review: The movie is weird in a good way stretch your mind to consider possibility and break out of the ordinary to the point you caught yourself enjoying and wanting more. Downsizing is science fiction satire that tackles big ideas to human survival in small packages:) The film take us to different adventures and leap of faith on what's gonna happen next whether some parts are boring afterwards interesting never fails to surprise us but felt short in the end:( Matt Damon is never afraid to look ugly or bold can't help to admire his commitment to the role. Christoph Waltz is pleasure to sight didn't saw his fun side and charismatic attributes until now!
My Favorite Lines: "In Leisureland, your $100,000 translates to $12.5 million to live on for life. Do you understand that will undergo the permanent and irreversible medical procedure commonly known as downsizing, and that your bodies will be approximately .0364% of their current mass and volume? Nervous? A little I’ll see you on the other side. I love you." "The cause of all the catastrophes we are seeing today is overpopulation. We are proud to unveil the only practical remedy to humanity’s greatest problem. Are you ready, doctor? Yes I am. Wow, that is wild, isn’t it? That’s just wild!" "Get up and open your eyes. This small world is filled with things to see." "I know this will put a pretty big dent in anyone’s self-esteem, but downsizing is about hitting a reset button, start all over." "Downsizing is about saving yourself."

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES-- YAKIMIX SUSHI GRILL RESTO

My Personal Experience: I went to Yakimix Sushi Grill Restaurant last year October 18, 2017, together with my big sister. We went there to have dinner in the grill- eat all you can restaurant. It's been a while since I've eaten in a buffet style that's why I'm so excited to take a pic of me with the food and the different sushi you can get there colorful and delicious with distinct taste:)

Yakimix Sushi Grill Resto

Yakimix is a grill-all-you can sort of buffet that covers Chinese, Korean, and Japanese cuisine. If you’ve tried this in Manila, though the star of the dining experience maybe the grill and all its gastronomic glory, Yakimix also serves food already cooked and ready to eat ‒ from various kinds of sushi to deliciously-crisp ebi tempura. Not only are the prices pretty friendly, their Birthday Promo is also in full-swing here! Anyone who has a birthday within the month gets to dine in for free as long as he/she is accompanied by three (3) full-paying adults into every time.

My Movie Review: The movie is a ticking bomb ready to explode set in dystopian platform. Maze Runner: The Death Cure is a much-awaited closure to the young adventure trilogy we become fan of where action that thrill little bit of love story creates enjoyable experience. The Scorch Trials is the peak of the series while this one continue to dazzle us with overstuffed sequel that last in memory and we often come back too! The culmination of events may not be favorable for some but still satisfy it's audience with epic breakdown and few zombie fights:) My favorite scene is the bus sequence where Brenda and rescue children where lift up above!!
My Favorite Character: Assistant Director Janson

Janson appeared in the place the Gladers were staying in at the same time as the large pile of food. He was sitting behind a desk, reading, and the Gladers soon discovered that an invisible force field blocked them off from him. Assistant Director Janson, also referred to as Rat Man (given to him by Minho), was the highest-ranking official in the organization Wicked under Chancellor Paige. Thomas find himself trained Janson after the original Creators were Purged, who states that "he had never seen someone more dedicated to finding a cure." Assistant Director Janson is the main antagonist in both Maze Runner book series and the movie series.

TRAVEL TO MOVIES: PITCH PERFECT3

Director: Trish Sie

Source: https://www.insing.com/movies/pitch-perfect-3-2017/id-9beb0000/

My Movie Review: The movie is all about the cheap thrills didn't leave up to the expectations!! Pitch Perfect 3 is entertaining with pretty decent song numbers but not enough for the finale as a fan of the original, it gotten worst and worst the first one deliver such a premise now letdown! Fat Amy and his dad were good their story was something fresh to watch as the other Bellas still stuck on the same situations this was supposed to be epic since it's the last call for pitches. Beca still got the spirit but her final pitch is a big miss what a shame the ending should save this but it did not the performance was in tune there must be a follow up scene for better finale!

More Description: Parents need to know that Pitch Perfect 3 is the last movie in the a cappella-themed Pitch Perfect franchise starring Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, and Hailee Steinfeld. It still has plenty of singing and riff-offs, though there's also an action/suspense subplot that has a few scenes of peril and potential danger. But all of the Bellas are fine, and no one is hurt (although Amy beats up a lot of people). There's considerably less romance in this movie than the earlier ones, but you can expect a couple of kisses and plenty of innuendo. And with Pitch Perfect, the underlying messages are about teamwork and the friendship made.

My Movie Review: The movie is exciting unexpected tour in the jungle not a dull moment:) Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle pure joy brings back the fun kept my eyes glue to the screen. The board game that we grew up has new story to tell conceal it's adventures on hidden world where the players suck into the video game become the avatars they pick and finish the game. Jack Black is natural in his expression as a popular girl trap into a fat wacky guy was hilarious! Dwayne-Kevin Duo is going strong this guys have chemistry when it comes to comedic reliefs giving as more reason to laugh as Karen Gillan the rose among the torn high kick into stardom!

My Movie Review: The movie is action-filled thriller set in familiar territory with new technique! The Commuter is a flashy opener for 2018 gets you back to adrenaline as you take journey with them you might feel your inside the train as mystery passenger keeps you guessing too! Liam Neeson is one of the popular actors in this genre and his proving age is just a number as he can do his stunt intensely and stronger than expected taking out bad guys in muscular way! Vera Farmiga is the star to watch there's something about her that is class and mysterious as she make the scene fresh and insightful despite minimal exposure in this entertaining fun ride!!
My Favorite Lines: "Most of us ride this train everyday. We nod, we say hello, but how much do we really know about each other?" "It’s my first time on a commuter train. What about you? Everyday for the last ten years. You must know everyone on this train. I’m sorry, have we met? No, I’m Joanna. Michael. I study human behavior. My job is to answer one basic question. What’s that? What kind of person are you?" "What if I asked you to do one little thing? Would you do it? I’d want to know what kind of thing?Someone on this train does not belong. You don’t know what they look like, all you have to do is find them. Why do it? There's a reward. Don’t leave the train before finding them don’t tell anyone about this offer. What do you know?"
