The First and Last Philippine Premiere Screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: A Decade of Magic Comes to a Conclusion

The Philippines is one of the first few countries to first see the epic finale for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 before it officially comes out on July 14, 2011. Yours truly got the privilege to be invited to such screening by the wonderful folks at Warner Bros. Philippines, and all I can say is I was both excited, thankful and blessed to be able to watched the epic finale of the film series I grew up with in glorious IMAX Theater 3-D!

After a decade of following the story through a span of seven films, the story of "the boy who lived" has finally ended tying all lose ends in this second part for the Deathly Hallows. It is both the first and last of Harry Potter in the Philippines as the President of Warner Bros. Philippines said before the Philippine premiere screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the IMAX Theater SM Mall of Asia. First in the sense that it is the first Harry Potter film to be completely in 3-D (or converted into one) and first that the Philippines is one of the selected countries to first see the film after UK; and last in a simple sense that this is the conclusion to the Harry Potter film franchise. 

What also add up to the already spectacular film experience brought by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is the crowd and my fellow bloggers. It is always fun to talk to people with similar interest and passion. We talked about what would be the next Harry Potter film. Will it be a sequel, prequel or a highly improbable remake? That and many film, blogging and geeky stuff. But once the film started rolling it seems like we all barely knew each other as it is a rule of thumb to just sit back and enjoy the film.

If you have followed all seven Harry Potter film which started back at 2001. Man 2001! I was already at my teenage years back then and this sure is one of those film that will go along the ranks of Lord of the Rings, Last Castle, and Toy Story, my favorite films of all time. Definitely check out Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in theaters nationwide by July 15, 2011.

The Last of Dirty Harry - I Mean Harry Potter

Just a few hours from now, yours truly will be able to watch the epic conclusion of the similarly epic story of "the boy who lived, Harry Potter. I am not really a book person so I have no idea how it would all wrap up, and I want it to be that way. Don't wan to be spoiled as well so I have stopped myself from listening or reading any spoilers.





It has been what? Ten years? Man, ten years. We literally see this boy grow from that innocent child to the now bad ass and dirty-looking Harry Potter. Just look at all those scars, wounds that he got since his first scar on his forehead. I would like to keep this short as I am getting prepared for it. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will officially be out in theaters nationwide by July 15, 2011. For anyone who grew up watching this film series, it is a no-brainer...they will watch this epic finale. Myself included. Will get back on reviewing films after this film.

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.
