22 July

This is just a quick movie review. Take note that I have so much time to watch series and movies even at work. This is just one of my coping mechanisms from this global pandemic.

22 July is a very moving film about Norway’s deadliest terror attack, in which a right-wing extremist murders 77 teens at a youth camp in 2011. The film used restraint and empathy for the families whose lives were upended by an obsessed assassin. The film also reminds everyone about how political extremism can rattle a highly volatile society. The editing, cinematography, and the soundtrack were all on point. Casting the Norwegian actors instead of those from Hollywood adds the authenticity of this film.

Lately, several of my friends on Facebook tagged me to write this: 15 Movies That Will Always Stay With You. Since it would be a very long post if I write it on my timeline, I've decided to publish it in my personal blog instead.

The rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen films you've seen that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag fifteen friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what films my friends choose.

Here we go.

The IMAX Experience

Nothing beats the feeling of watching a great movie with your family or friends at the cinema. I have already seen the developments of it for the past years. From 2D to 3D cinema and this time, IMAX. I was fortunate enough to be one of the few Davaoeños who first tried this one-of-a-kind movie experience.
