Kung Fu Panda!! A Must See Movie!!! - spoilers!!

Yesterday, me, my two sisters, my two niece, my nephew and my sister-in-law went to see "Kung Fu Panda." And what can I say? I haven't laugh so heartily in an animated movie. From start to finish, I love it. The story was simple and real. Everyday you hear stories of one's fanatic and insecurities. How odd right? Wrong!! This two are actually connected. I notice that Po was a fan of Kung Fu masters but his no better than a new born baby when it comes to martial arts. He admired other people for having what he lack. Let's face it, it's so much real in our society. Although it sound sad, it isn't. If we take it in as a positive force then we push ourselves to do better like what Po did. It wasn't a dramatic change but a more up beat transition from the insecure panda to a worthy warrior. Also I love the part where the enemy, look at the scroll and found out that nothing was written on it. Actually I was expecting something else like the scroll would only show what's written on it if you prove yourself worthy something like that. But what the sorry writers, whoever they maybe, sorry I can't remember your names, did an outstanding job. I definitely didn't expected that. And for sure it hit a lot of spots. It actually made me realize something most of my friends kept forgetting. That they are special and that nobody need to say your special. It's all up to you!

Technically, I'm impress with Dream Works' Kung Fu Panda. The animation was great as it captures the movement so well. All the fighting scenes are my favorite. Also the jiggling of Po's flabs are so funny. Then add Jack Black's voice and wit and you got a star. It was really hilarious when the Po eats. Dream Work's definitely out done themselves with this motion picture. Also Dustin Hoffman's character was fantastic. He was a strict master like any other but it was for one's betterment he chose to be strict. All the characters were remarkable, even Po's dad which happens to be a fowl. I remember when he got so excited when Po said he had a dream, a noodle dream!!! Really hilarious!!

If your going to watch it, expect that there would be a lot of distractions as most of those watching are below 18. Yes, we experience some interruptions from the neighboring sits, but nonetheless we enjoyed it so much!! Watch the movie and prepare to laugh out loud!!

Caregiver a Movie for All

Last night, me and my mom along with my sister-in-law watched "Caregiver" starring Sharon Cuneta. I like this movie. I was expecting it to be a total tear jerker but it only made me cry once and I'm happy with it. I like how the story was told. In fairness it was fast pace. Although there where some points that seem to be irrelevant to the story or maybe it should have been cut. Like the role of Makisig was quite questionable for me. Like what's really his purpose there? If it's to relieve Sarah (Sharon Cuneta) of missing her son, it didn't convince me. Luckily those were just minor parts of the movie so it's not that noticeable. But what I really like about this movie is the characters. John Estrada played Sarah's childish irresponsible egoistic husband. And he played the character well. I thought I was seeing ghost. Eventually his character reminded me of someone I knew a long time ago. Also Sarah's character is reminiscent of me. OK, fine! I was talking about an old flame. Anyways, back to the movie. Sarah is patient and intelligent yet she is humble and understanding. I love how she finally questioned her husband's decision and how she took action. If all men are like John Estrada's character in the movie, then I probably never gonna get married. Ahahaha!!

Anyways, it was really a moving story. For me the story wasn't just to tell the world what goes on being a caregiver as a profession, also it says that we always give care to the things we need, to the places we've gone to and to the people we love yet we often forget caring for ourselves. Hopefully, we can all find someone who would be there to understand and care for us as we understand and care for them.
