2012 (2009)


2012 is a very interesting movie of the year. I had watched this movie in SM Theater
and it has a very excellent sound effects and the motion picture was just fantastic.
I was surprised because there are a lot of thrilling scenes in the movie.

2012 is a fictional movie about the ending of the world. It was predicted by the Mayan settlers
thousands of year ago that the earth will end in 2012. Mayan calendar ended on 2012. Of course we are not praying that it will happen but we are praying contrary to that.

2012 focus on the family of John Cossack, The U.S. government, the Researchers and the people in their quest of survival. In the movie by year 2012, the planet will line and the earth's core will melt causing land mass to fall down and displacement. The movie has an excellent visual effects on volcanic eruptions, comets of magma like an intruders and the collapse of buildings and other known structures in the world.

John Cossack, 2 kids, Ex, and his Ex boyfriend joined together to survived. They were able to excaped from the devastating collapse of America by plane. From high above they were able to witness how mother Earth and its inhabitant vanished. On the other hand, the U.S. government has prepared for this foreseen events. That's why they build several ships in China and the construction was successful. John Cossack and his family were able to reach China and fortunate to get aboard the ship together with other people. When the vast water flooded the area, problems in the ship arise, however they also to fix the problems. The water surge was very quick. The water even reach the top of the Himalayan mountains to Mt. Everest. Because of the major displacement of land mass in Earth, new lands, new territories emerge. After the catastrophic event, only those who were inside the ship survived. For another new beginning.

What I like most about the movie was its visual effects. There are a lot of scenes in the movie that makes you jump from your seat make a self defense against self destruction...
You'll like this movie. Watch it now.

The Reader (2008)


This is really an amazing film I've ever watched. I almost cannot hold my tears back into my eyes with the life's story of Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslett) and Micheal Berg (David Kross).
We never know when we feel love. We never know how it ends. This movie is related to the world war during Adolf Hitler's occupation, however, the story focusses on the two main casts: Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslett) and Michael Berg (David Kross).
When Michael Berg was nearly sixteen years old, was ill at the German Stret, a woman in her 30s (Kate Winslett) took care of him and when he recovers he shows back to her apartment to thank her. The two end up with a passionate love romance. He always read a book for her like "The Oddysey" and "The Lady with the Little Dog". But suddenly Hanna disappears and Michael didn't know her whereabouts. Several years later, Michael is a law student observing some Nazi war trials when he realize that the defendant is Hanna Schmitz.
But have you not noticed why it is called "The Reader?" Simply because Hanna loves being read. When she imprison for many years, Michael send her various tape that record his own voice reading a story of "The Lady with the Little Dog". Hanna then knew how to read and write in the jail with the help of the recorded voice tape of Michael Berg.
This story shows how his concern and love to woman whom she always call him "KID".
I really love this captivating movie. I recommended this movie to all my friends and I wasnt to share them the essence of this inspiring film.
