A Spider(wick)! Jump(er)!

My tooth feels odd for almost the whole day yesterday. Thus, decided to go the dentist. Lo! It was tinga stucked between my teeth with filling. That must be one big tinga! Hehehe!

Since the visit to the dentist was a breeze, proceeded to the Ayala Center for my usual haunt--the cinemas! (Went first to a photo lab to have my pictures developed.)


First is Jumper, a sci-fi, action, adventure movie. David discovers he has ability to teleport when he fell through some ice. This knowledge changed his life. Thanks to his powers, he lived a life of luxury with no consequences. His perfect life was jolted when he learns there are other people like him, and there are also people who dedicated their lives to stop/end the teleporters.

The movie is fast-paced and the effects are cool. The "jumping" is well done and the places visited are impressive.


Next stop is The Spiderwick Chronicles. It is a sci-fi, fantasy, adventure movie about a family who moves to a rundown estate in the country. Unknowingly, this is where their adventure would begin as one of the children finds and opens an old book chronicling the world of the fairies, inspite of the warning. This throws the family to the world of ogres, goblins and fairies.

The movie is smart and well-made, script intelligently written, and great cast. For a film with low budget (compared to big-budgeted films like Harry Potter, The Golden Compass, etc.), it can hold its own.

After the movies, attended the anticipated Mass and we had dinner at The Pancake.
