This week was busy so I decided to reward myself by watching two movies; X-Men: The Last Stand and The Da Vinci Code.

X-Men
For X-Men, I went to SM City (Cebu). I forgot how much the tickets were but I brought along my two brothers with me (we paid about 350+ pesos). Movies like these are better to watch when you have people who listen to you when you brag about how well you know the characters; in this film, the mutants. I literally spent my childhood watching X-Men (not Evolution, but the original one) and collecting Marvel Cards. Having all the mutants from the X-Men cartoons would be insane but they certainly did a good job at selecting which mutant to put in the movie. And an even better job at putting them into life.

Jean Grey was sooo hot and Wolverine was so cool. Kitty was kinda cute too.

X-Men was probably the most entertaining movie I saw this summer. Tons of action and special effects.

The Da Vinci Code: Why R-18?
Now, the Da Vinci Code. Overrated. Hehe! But it was okay. Good movie. Not the best on its genre, but it was okay. I’m wondering why MTCRB (the movie-rating thingy here in the Philippines) placed an R-18 rating on it. I was like “WTF?” why they made that R-18 after watching it. This government (Philippines) has some major issues that it has to deal with.

I would have it GP! At least it would be something like telling the kids the difference between fiction and fact. How will they able to learn if you don’t expose them to the elements? After all, it is not porn.

By they way, Ayala theaters have the best sorround sound here in Cebu! So if you have your favorite movie showing, I suggest that you watch it there. I could feel the seats vibrate when the music goes up. Very immersing!
