Jurassic World (2015)
PG-13 | 2h 4m

A new theme park, built on the original site of Jurassic Park, creates a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur, the Indominus Rex, which escapes containment and goes on a killing spree.

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.


App Love (2014)
Original Title:  Sing lek lek thi na rock 
 | Xh Xm

A new Thai comedy which the story is about a man who dresses like a woman. One day, he falls in love with a beautiful woman that he meets at school in all of sudden. Their relationship becomes more interesting and many funny moments comes up as they become closer to each other.

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."

LOVE CAREER WELLNESS

For the month ahead:

Ever notice that the quality we most admire in movies - especially in the leading man or leading lady - is always perseverance? Well, that's another word for Strength, so when this card arrives in the department of love, you're being asked - no, actually, told - to hang in there, to never give up, and to let the person you care for know that you'll always be there for them.

If you've got the feeling that someone is working behind the scenes to undermine your authority or to make you look like you're less valuable than you are - well, you're not crazy. In fact, you're probably about to uncover something you need to see, especially if you're about to be promoted, which is likely. Don't let this person or persons get to you. Stand your ground and let them know you're not going anywhere!

If you've been feeling unsatisfied with the circumstances in your life, it's time to change that. The good news is that it can most certainly be done over the coming month - that's as long as you're willing to work at it. You may need to work harder than you thought to get along with everyone around you and to make peace with situations you'd previously have found intolerable.

For the month ahead:

The card of Judgement indicates the ending of several matters - the happy ending, that is. First of all, and most important to you, will be the fact that you'll actually be ready to come together with "an other" to find your perfect match - the kind of person that you deserve. Don't be doubtful, or worry that they're not quite right. Trust your instincts and know that your long trek is over.

The appearance of The Devil indicates that in all professional matters, you can have exactly what you want - it all depends on how far you're willing to go to get it. If you need to keep your morals about you, you'll resist any offer that sounds too good to be true, and that's the very best way to handle it. You'll definitely encounter your dark side now. It's up to you to keep it reined in.

You feel stuck now - perhaps, as they say, between a rock and a hard place. In short, there's really nowhere you feel you can turn without reaching a difficult end - and you may be right. When The Hanged Man appears, however, the point is not so much that you need to make a choice between the lesser of two evils, but that you must abandon all previous options and come up with something new. Be imaginative!

For the month ahead:

Every now and then, we think of someone and suddenly run into them - or the phone rings and there they are. It may be déjà vu, or the force of your thoughts may have conjured them. This is part of what you should come to expect over the coming month, now that The Chariot is dashing through your life. Before you welcome them back into your life, however, find new solutions to old problems.

When The Tower appears in our lives in the department of career, it often means that despite how hard we've been working, we have little or nothing to say about our future. This may mean that the company we work for has been sold, or will be sold, or that we have no choice but to work for a new employer. The process may not be enjoyable, but you could end up with a far better position.

Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it, or to speak with someone you trust about a personal problem. Everyone gets a bit befuddled now and then, especially when life tosses brand new experiences our way - and new experiences are The Fool's specialty. It's your turn to feel like a stranger in a strange land, but that doesn't mean it won't turn out to be a great experience in the end!
