The Philippine IMAX Premier Screening of The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole

It has been a while since I last attended events, but last night Sptember 22, 2010 I didn't missed out the opportunity to see the Philippine IMAX premier screening of Warner Bros' The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole in SM North Edsa IMAX Theater. Here is my initial two cents and experience with one of the years best animated 3-D film, The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.



I have my eyes set on the Legend of the Guardians for quite some time since I first saw its teasers on youtube, and theatrical trailers later on some screenings I also attended. My expectations weren't turned down as the animated film about Owls is shot in stunning 3D. Since it was an IMAX premier, the experience was enhanced by ten folds.



I won't spoil the film for you, but let's just say that it is an easily recomendable movie for all ages. It has an epic feel to it ala Lord of the Rings, as an unlikely band of creatures travel to great distance to a escape evil, only to find themselves later becoming the heroes that will vanquish that evil. That isn't much of a give away, as it would be such a disappointed if ever they fail right? The film will bring out the laughter, the caring brother or sister, the heroism, the pride, the pains of losing someone, and the hate in you. Humor plays a great part in the film, and take it literally when I say you will be hearing owl jokes in this film. The film is stunning in 3-D as I keep telling you guys. I will make a more in-depth review about the film later on my movie review blog.

For the official trailer and synopsis. Check it out on my post at:



Legend of the Guardians - Not Just Another "Fowl" Movie

Thanks to Warner Bros. Philippines and SM Cinema for this opportunity to see one of my most anticipated 3-D movie of the year. The Legend of the Guardians is a perfect movie for everyone. The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole will be out on all SM Cinemas by September 24, 2010. It is best experienced in 3-D, so if you have the opportunity go see it in IMAX Theaters nationwide.

Jam-Packed Ice Age 3 TriNoma Digital Cinema Screening Event

July 02, 2009 (Thursday) - Yours truly signed up for the bloggers spreadsheet for the screening of Ice Age 3 in TriNoma in North Edsa and was excited because of (1) it is a movie event, and (2) I'm going to be back in blogging events. So here is my fun-filled unforgettable experience in Ice Age 3 shown in TriNoma's New Digital Cinema....





What is this Digital Cinema anyways? Read the rest below to find out what's this new movie experience Trinoma has in store for all movie goers...

The day starts with me getting all worked up with this movie premiere because this will be the start of my being active again to blog events after that somewhat bit long hiatus last June. As schedule conscious as I was I left for Cavite at around 3:00 in the afternoon which still still took me until 5:30 pm on the road which got me a bit worried because according to the spreadsheet the events starts at 6:00 and I was still on the train (MRT) that time but thank goodness I made in time. I wandered around until Az sent me an sms telling me where the show is which I think I missed while I was wandering around (how clumsy can I get at times wahahaha). Finally saw this large are where new and old media starts to populate.



After the small hassle I finally got my media pass and premiere ticket for the Ice Age 3 premiere

I encountered a small problem upon checking my name on the list of bloggers who signed up, my name somewhat was missing in action which was a shock really because all the while I know I signed up for it so was really surprise (and believe me I will not trek all the way from Dasmariñas Cavite just to gate crash and new that I am not welcome). I'm no gatecrasher so this bothered me, thank goodness Azrael saved my neck and talked to the right people but later this was resolved as I confirmed my name on the list and they probably forgot to enlist some of the registrants on paper (which is still odd). After which I felt a bit troubled but managed to get my drive and mood back as other bloggers and popular faces starts to arrive....





There were nice drinks and snacks provided for everyone in the pre-screening show...



One popular cosplay icon in the Philippines has also attended the Ice Age 3 premiere, Alodia Gosiengfiao. It is my first time seeing her in person for I have only seen her in various anime blogs, websites, and anime-related magazines. So basically I was a bit star-strucked because of her beauty and title but immediately snapped out of it and managed to take a picture of the very lovely Miss Alodia Gosiengfiao, Philippine's Cosplay Queen.

Mascots always have an effect to children and movie enthusiasts alike which TriNoma "let loose" in the pre-screening show.



Ice Age 3's Scrat(male) and Scratte mascots were mobbed by children and media for a photo opportunity.



..and of course yours truly will not let this past as I take the chance to take a photo with Scrat and Scratte mascots for the Ice Age 3 premiere.

Celebrities with their children also were seen in the Ice Age 3 Philippine Premiere in TriNoma. Some familiar faces were Iya of the former Studio 23 I.T. show Digital Tour...

"DAYO sa Mundo ng Elementalia" The First Filipino Full-Length Digital Animated Movie Premiere Night

First of all, I would like to give thanks to my good friend Azrael for including me to the premiere night of the first Filipino full-length digital animated movie "Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia"




Kudos to you my friend

Well, my quest or "pagdayo ko sa Dayo" from Dasmariñas Cavite to SM Megamall is a path filled with long hours of traffic. The road to Manila is bustling with vehicles inducing a heavy traffic. This time I've anticipated the traffic, so after i received a plurk from Gab asking me to what time will I leave for SM Megamall (venue for the Dayo movie premiere), upon reading that plurk, I immediately fixed and readied myself and at exactly 2:55 I was on the Bus going to MRT station in Pasay.

A Dasmarineños Route To The Metro

Dasmariñas, Cavite to SM MegaMall EDSA, Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong City Route

Here is me again acting oh so wise (even though I'm not) to guide my fellow Dasmarineños and fellow Caviteños the quickest (as far as I know of) and safest (I hope so) route from Dasmariñas Cavite to SM MegaMall EDSA, Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong City. First of is to ride a bus heading to Pasay MRT/LRT Station (You won't miss it, unless you are waiting at the wrong lane). Drop off at the MRT Station. Avail a MRT train ticket going to Ortigas Station (It is the quickest route but you have to endure the rush of people using the train as well). From Ortigas Station it is just a couple more walks until you reach SM Megamall and Ta-Dah! You are there.

I arrived at SM Megamall at around 5:00 in the afternoon so that calculates to an approximate two hours of travel time via the bus and train from Dasmariñas to Mandaluyong. I read Azrael's direction in my phone to where will the Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia premiere will be and saw it after a couple of floors and ride at the escalator. After seeing the venue I continued to Megatrade Hall 2 for the 3rd Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair 2008 or Toycon event where Azrael is, and man! There sure are lotsa toys ranging from the cheapest 3 for 100 and as expensive at 5000 to 10000 Pesos worth of toys (I haven't seen nor asked if there are other toys which costs way more beyond that because I'll just drool over them hahaha). I scour for toys in the 3 for 100 section toys which is highly possible for my kind a job and living (hahaha) but failed to find the right toy for me so in the end I ended up window shopping and drooling over toys and other collectibles at the 3rd Toys and Collectibles Christmas Fair 2008.

Az later bids farewell to his friends at Toycon because of the Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia premiere. We got down over at cinema 10 and saw a horde and almost a stampede(oh well, i guess i am exagerating a bit too much hehehe) of movie goers excited for the premiere of the the first Filipino full-length digital animated movie Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia









We are some of the bloggers whom were lucky enough to be the first to watch the very first premiere of the very first full-length digital Filipino animated movie entitled Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia



This is Ada one of my adorable blog friend and source of these grabbed photos while my camera is out hahahaha. thanks Ada. you can visit her blog at ADAPHOBIC.COM





Yes! We braved and dared to walk the red carpet hahahaha.



While we wait for the stars to come to stage and for the premiere a small program was conducted which features some trivia questions and interesting facts about the movie Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia. My two friends Ada (http://www.adaphobic.com) and Carl (http://thewebmagazine.blogspot.com) joined the trivia question. Go bag em all bloggers! Hahaha but what about the kids? XD

We eventually went in Cinema 10 to reserve some good seats for a nice view of the movie. After some time Az, Monique, Carl, Monchst, Sire, Trixie and Azrael went out to grab some "grub" which took them some time which I later found out was because of the stars arriving at the Stage and some celebrities and Philippine television faces.



Minutes away from the actual premiere of Dayo. After some short program and games for the kids, the suspense and long wait is finally over. Here comes Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia.



Prrrrtttt!!!! The movie is now over with me and Az going out with the movie goers who just saw the first ever full-length Digital Filipino animated movie (and I couldn't emphasize the "first ever full length Digital Filipino animated movie" even more hahaha). What's missing? Uh, yeah, the actual movie. How was it like? Well, all I can say is you go watch it this coming December 25, 2008 at your local cinemas or you may go to other blogs and spoiler websites to find out more about the story hehehe.



This was after we went out cinema 10... and nope i was not in shock hahahaha. I am waiting for my friends to finish up taking photos of the crowd and the celebrities.





After the movie we went two more floors to accompany Az to bid farewell to his colleagues at the Toycon. Before we went there, we saw these "cute" Winnie The Pooh and Tigger Photo-Op corner and decided to fool around with it. hence The Bloggers are transported from Elementalia to "Elementarya" hahaha.. because only kids from elementary or elementarya are fond of Walt Disney characters (or I could be wrong) Hahahaha





It was a fun day together with my fellow Blogger plus the fact that we are the first people to watch the first full-length digital Filipino animated movie "Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementali"
