Jurassic World was a nostalgic thrill ride for this 80's kid who grew up loving sci-fi. While it couldn't quite capture the awe and wonder of Spielberg's original Jurassic Park trilogy from the 90's, it still delivered a satisfying dose of dinosaur mayhem. The special effects have come a long way since my childhood, making the prehistoric creatures even more breathtaking and terrifying. Chris Pratt's rugged hero and Bryce Dallas Howard's determined park manager added a fresh twist to the formula, but it's the nostalgic nods to the past that truly warmed my heart. Despite its shortcomings, Jurassic World successfully reignited my love for this franchise, reminding me of the timeless appeal of dinosaurs in cinema.

I stumbled upon this Thai film released as "Rock Angels" locally, while browsing through my local cable provider's offerings. Fortunately, it had been dubbed in Tagalog, sparing me the need to read subtitles. Intrigued by the mention of the same director behind "A Little Thing Called Love," I couldn't resist delving into the story to see how it would unfold. 

At first glance, I couldn't help but wonder if BB Gandanghari was portraying the character Pupe, but it turned out to be someone else entirely.

However, as I watched the film, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. I couldn't determine whether it was due to a less-than-stellar screenplay or if the performances simply didn't measure up. I had initially anticipated experiencing the same heartwarming "kilig" moments that I cherished in the Thai movie "A Little Thing Called Love," but unfortunately, that magic didn't quite materialize in "Rock Angels."
