SpeedRacer Is On!

The much-awaited film SpeedRacer (not because of any award-winning acting or production but because of the hype it has generated among kids and race-loving guys and gals) is finally showing at SM City Davao Cinemas and at Gaisano Mall Cinema. I'm not sure if NCCC Cinema will junk one of the scheduled films for this week but I also doubt they are willing to be left behind the guaranteed income from this fabulous movie.

I've watched the cartoon version of the Speedracer but the movie has definitely taken a new angle. In the cartoon version, a famous racer has been missing for a long time. He has a speed racer son named X who was already doing good in a racing school owned by his brother. here comes a neophyte racer named Speed who was apparently the missing racer's youngest son who was placed in an orphanage for his own safety. The two brothers finally meet not only in the racing line.

The movie version carries an entirely different version but this you have to find out by watching the movie.

Wednesday Movie Blog: Bee Movie

Wednesdays from now on, will be Wednesday Movie Blog. Take your pick of the best movies in town. Most cinemas in the city change movies during Wednesdays so if you want to relax but don't know which movies are showing, just drop by this blog.

Bee Movie
SM Cinema 2 12:15/2:00/3:45/5:30/7:00
NCCC Cinema 4 12:25/2:20/4:15/6:10

I've been hounding both SM and NCCC cinema with queries as to when they will be showing this movie. Did that since I first saw the poster last November. No, I am not a 5-year old kid but kiddie movies arouse my interest. They have simple plots yet they tell us about life and make us want to enjoy life more with its simplicity. Adults make life complicated. Maybe this is why I'll never grow old.

The Bee Movie talks about real life only in simple terms. It talks about a bee who thinks he deserves a better job than making honey. Isn't that what most of us yearn for everyday---a better job?

National Treasure: Book of Secrets
SM Cinema 1 11:20/1:45/4:10/6:35
NCCC Cinema 2 12:00/2:30/5:00

This is another movie that will surely entertain you especially if you love mysteries, treasure hunting and of course Nicolas Cage! This is a sequel to the National Treasure which was a hit among moviegoers enough to warrant another episode. This movie talks about Abe Lincoln's assassination and other conspiracy theories of the US government., If you love Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code then you will surely love this movie.

Of course, I haven't seen Sakal, Sakali,Saklolo yet but the first one (Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo) is a riot and I loved it! The movie, which was a Manila Film Festival entry, has been extended and you can still catch it at both SM and NCCC Cinemas.
