My Movie Review: The movie is romantic just in time with the upcoming Valentine's Day. I don't like it at first cause I don't understand the story but as the scenes goes on I feel in love with it. Sometimes you need movies like this to light up the mood and enjoy what your seeing, it wasn't memorable but it serve it's purpose by making me happy at that moment.
My Favorite Lines: "I've tried playing it cool but, when I'm looking at you I can't ever be brave cause you make my heart race." "I'm not ignoring your text. I'm playing it cool and waiting four or five hours so I don't seem overly eager." "Being right is being wrong, the only way to be right is to be wrong."

My Movie Review: The movie is such a spectacle, they combined my favorite genres musical and fairy tales. I almost sang in the movie theater and my heart felt in each moment. This movie is genius, fantasy told in twisted way, stars who sing and stories with full of possibilities. I wish to be an actor someday and get parts in musical fantasy movies. I love movies like this give me a motivation to dream and believe despite of the obstacles.

My Favorite Lines: "You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, You're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right. I'm the witch. You're the world." "The difference between a cow and a bean is a bean can begin an adventure." "I was raised to be charming, not sincere." “Best to take the moment present, As a present for the moment” 

TRAVEL TO PLACES: PHILIPPINES TRINOMA MALL

My Personal Experience: I went to Trinoma Mall this year January 4, 2015, together with my sister. We went there to our best friends and to watch the movies in Metro Manila Film Festival. We explore the mall around the cinemas and find ourselves in Christmas Holiday. Food is on the way fast at Burger King, McDonald's, Jollibee and Famous Belgian Waffles.

Trinoma Mall

TriNoma (Triangle North of Manila) is a large shopping mall in Quezon City, Philippines, owned by property development firm Ayala Land. Opened in 2007, the mall is located on the side of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, east of the North Avenue MRT Station in Quezon City, giving significant market competition to the nearby SM City North EDSA as one of the largest malls in Metro Manila.

My Movie Review: The movie is like Teen Wolf meets The Cat in the Hat, action pack with cute furry cats. Wolves is a perfect popcorn movie, you can get a little of everything, not ambitious but satisfyingly enough. Lucas Till is the star of the film, makes it interesting romance with Merritt Patterson but his father and son rivalry with Jason Momoa plays big part of the film. Wild Joe on the other hand gave twist being bridge to becoming the villain.
My Favorite Character: Cayden Richards

Cayden Richards, 18, has it all: Captain of the high school football team; straight-A student; gorgeous girlfriend. But when he wakes one dark night to find his parents brutally murdered, he is horrified to realize that he is turning into an animal: a wild, savage wolf.

My Movie Review: This movie looks fake just like the poster, the effects was out-dated which result with too much fantasy. The movie could be better if it was release earlier but the release date shifted numerous times, it losses it's freshness. I don't understand the movie during the first half but towards the middle I just enjoyed it. The trailer looks good and my friend wants to see it that's why I watched this but didn't meet my standards.
My Favorite Term: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

The seventh son of a seventh son is a concept from folklore regarding special powers given to, or held by, such a son. The seventh son must come from an unbroken line with no female children born between, and be, in turn, born to such a seventh son.
