REEL DEAL: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 REVIEW

This movie premiered in the Philippines on my birthday April 30 which many marvel films also make their opening day in the country. Though I was not able to see it on my actual birthday, I am happy to see one of the most successful comic book movie franchise.

Though I am a big fan of the previous trilogy, I love the sequel of this reboot more than the first one.  With the new story focusing on Peter Parker's history and his early years, including his first love Gwen Stacy. 

The sequel brings the mystery behind Peter's parents who were associated with OSCORP which has been linked to the enemies of spidey. The movie is also brings three villains like Electro, Green Goblin and Rhino into a single movie. Expect a lot of action and explosions with this sequel as action scenes become more intense and moving with the fast paced fighting. I felt so disturbed and amazed at the same time which made me want to see the next movie now!

REEL DEAL: The Social Network

What goes on in the mind of the youngest billionaire in the world? Cause I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad! Facebook as the biggest social network in the world had made its mark in history for it revolutionize the new age internet. Now, the most interesting thing is its founders and co-founders. The bright minds that came from Harvard University, not even in their 30's made a revolution that swept the world. 

Although it is not a biography of the acclaimed billionaire, it does shows the start of the multi-billion dollar internet site from college houses that host only a few people. The real test here is friendship that has been shattered by ambitions and most of all money. Kinda ironic that the site promotes good will and friendship is what you will see is the opposite.

Pretty interesting things were actually facts (you can just search that if they are true), and even if you don't have the mind of Zuckerberg. You will 'like' this and know that its not always the grown ups (I mean the seniors) who is the only rich and freaky. Justin Timberlake played Sean Parker, the founder of napster. And the future spiderman (Andrew Garfield) also made a perfect fit with Mark Z.(Jesse Eisenberg). Another thing to watch out for is Disney talent Branda Song, she made a made a big transformation here. Not really of the family movie, but will make you write an inspired profile status. So be a fan!

Deliberation time kids!
