Logan is my favorite Wolverine story. It's the perfect template of how a superhero story should be. On point but with a big heart. I love the three main characters (plus Caliban) and every scenes even if most times I was on the edge of my seat because of the action scenes. Our generation may have had our share of superhero movies but when they're stripped off of their superhero powers (by choice) none depicted it with the emotions Logan would've given you, #thefeels.


I thought Hugh Jackman couldn't get any better until Logan happened. I know he's a good actor, but I didn't realise how brilliant and amazing he is until Logan. Every emotion, every scene make me wonder how he seamlessly did it if he's never felt there's Wolverine in him. Hugh's at his very best in Logan. And for me he is and will always be the right superhero.

Starwars

I admit I'm among the very very few who has the least knowledge of what StarWars was about.  And although back then I caught Attack of the Clones upon invitation  I was  still clueless who the characters were and where the story was going to, maybe I just joined in on the fun I can't even remember now. Fast forward to 2015 when almost everybody were super excited about the seventh installment that hubby was way eager to not let me be left behind,  he decided we watch all the previous 6 movies before watching Force Awakens which I'm thankful we did. He thought it best we watch it the way it was shown during its release which was 4 to 6 first and then 1 to 3. I guess most would have seen it from 1 to 6 but no matter, what's important is I now fully understand what the adoration was about and of course I'm now in the know of who Skywalkers are, Han Solo,  Princess Leia,  the rest of the gang and the loveable droids. 

The Equalizer

 Late post...

I didn't know this movie was based on a tv series. But since Denzel Washington was in it, I thought it better be a good movie that's packed with action scenes. I couldn't look at some of the gory details though because I didn't want to embarrass myself by screaming inside the theater and besides I really couldn't bear to look at graphic scenes. Hubby thought graphics were good and didn't show much really, I know men love those scenes as I hear most of them inside the cinema were kind of reacting (the good kind) while I was covering my eyes. I like how the movie ended and how the people closest to the protagonist were left unscathed and how the bad guys deserved what they got. The movie reminded me of Jason Bourne. I also thought Denzel was better off as Jack Reacher too.

IMDB Trivia:

Russell Crowe was originally attached to star as Robert McCall.

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz fought for the role of Teri when she found out it was written for someone of the age of 24. She presented herself so well, the director immediately made the change.

The book that Robert is reading in the diner, the plot of which he describes to Teri, is The Old Man & The Sea by Ernest Hemingway.

McCall is never actually shown shooting a firearm.

Based on the classic television series starring Edward Woodward.

Movies I Recommend: The Book of Life

"Manolo, a young man who is torn between fulfilling the expectations of his family and following his heart, embarks on an adventure that spans three fantastic worlds where he must face his greatest fears."

Parents will love this movie for their children as it will teach them lessons about life, relationships, family and beliefs. Napapanahon din sya for our celebration of All Soul's Day tomorrow as with this movie parents will have a better explanation to their chikitings as to where our loved ones go when they passed away and leave us. I highly recommend this, enjoy!
