SUBSCRIBETransformers - Michael Bay, 2007
Opening in theatres today, we trooped for the first playtime and it was no surprise that majority of the moviegoers lining the ticketbox were males in their 20’s and early 30’s, some obviously skipped work (as a friend told me) just to catch it on its first day.
A visual and a highly testosterone treat that just made my jaws drop, awestruck with the latest digital cinematic effects and wizardry in this much awaited movie that is more on reliving bygone years when the original cartoon series played out in the boob tube. Now updated for the current generation, the Autobots and Decepticons are way just too cool, highly sophisticated in their recent incarnate forms. Coupled with the latest Dolby cinema sound system at Waltermart Makati, the cinema experience was highly heightened as you are enveloped with soundwaves and the reverberations inside the moviehouse made you feel that you’re part of the scene. Wow!
I visited the new bookstore at Robinsons Galleria, Bestsellers which is another subsidiary of National Bookstore. Just opened last March, I got curious about this when I read about it in the Philippine Daily Inquirer last weekend. When I arrived there, I was at first impressed with its design: good and friendly colors of orange and white with bits of gray, well arranged rows of books organized by genre and well lighted. As what I always do when I visit bookstores, I checked out the Filipiniana, Computer, Photography and Graphic Design sections and guess what? I was quite disappointed. Such a few selection of books. I was expecting a more varied title but what I found were the usual books and really not comprehensive enough.
