Despicable Me 2 synopsis
Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal.
I saw Despicable Me 2 with my niece and nephew and younger cousins earlier this month. I haven't seen the first movie, but I didn't have to as my niece fill me in and gave me a quick recap of the first one, lol. So, I guess I didn't really have to see it to see this fun and entertaining sequel to DM. We saw this movie in 3D and we loved and enjoyed watching [the minions] it.



Interesting, I didn't recognized the voices of these familiar actors: Steve Carell (as Gru), Kristen Wiig (as Lucy), Miranda Cosgrove (as Margo),  Russell Brand (as Dr. Nefario) and Benjamin Bratt (as Eduardo/El Macho) who had done the voices of the characters for this film until after seeing this movie and I checked out the IMDB page for this movie. They did a very good job voicing their characters. Great visual and 3D effects too. Loved the musical number at the end.

Overall, Despicable Me 2 was a cute, fun, funny, entertaining, and family-friendly animated film that kids and grown-ups alike will both love and enjoy watching. I know the kids and I enjoyed watching this movie. Go see it while it's still in theaters!

My Despicable Me 2 film rating:  (8.5/10; B+)

Film Review: The Proposal

Image
I saw this movie twice. First on its opening day at night with friends and the next day with my mother. I love Sandra Bullock ! She's one of my favorite actresses and I've seen pretty much every movie that she has released. I love her movies and I knew I'll love this one too. Also, I like or should I say now, I love Ryan Reynolds ! Hehe... I've seen him in Just Friends (he was very funny in that movie), Definitely, Maybe (he was good in that movie with Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz , and Elizabeth Banks , but the movie was alright), and one of the recent blockbuster hit, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (He was fierce in that movie, lol). For this movie, I know I wanted to see it and have waited so long to see this, but I didn't expect too much 'cause when I do (even with my favorite actors in it), I often get disappointed when a movie I've waited and wanted to see for so long didn't match my excitement and expectations. So, I went and saw this movie with my

Celebrity Look-Alikes

Is it just me? or are you seeing what I'm seeing? ... you know, doubles (or make that triple-doubles in the first set of doubles' pics below ...) or look-alikes among the following famous celebrities, some of them happen to be my favorite actors. These celebs are often mistaken looking like the other and vice versa. Some have actually either met or worked together, while others have yet to meet or cross paths. Don't they all look-alike? Check out their pics below and see for yourself! First of...

British TV Period Dramas

Before I started watching (and getting hooked on) Spanish Telenovelas , Korean Dramas , TW-Dramas , and Filipino TV Dramas , I loved watching British TV Period Dramas and I still do. I've seen a lot. Though I have not been watching a lot lately, but I still follow and watch at least a few of them whenever I can. Here are 20 British Period TV Dramas that I've seen and compiled here...

Film Review: PRECIOUS: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire.

Image
I saw Precious this weekend, on its 3rd weekend and expansion of theaters (only 629 and has so far grossed to almost $15M in its 15 days this week...very impressive considering it only played limited on its opening weekend debut, much like the small expansion, and its small widest release of 629 theater locations) nationwide as it finally was showing in my local theaters. I've been waiting and looking forward to seeing this film since I heard this movie was being filmed and Mariah Carey (my favorite singer) was cast in a small role as Mrs. Weiss . Also, I've read the novel "Push" by Sapphire this movie was based from. Like Oscar's Best Picture winner Slumdog Millionaire , Precious (the lil' Independent film) has been getting tons of standing O's and rave reviews as well as won several Audience Awards in various film festivals such as Sundance, Toronto, and Chicago Film festivals to name a few. So, I've been following this film and got so excit

Film Review: Confessions of a Shopaholic

Image
I've seen this movie's preview trailer months ago and thought it looked very funny, but never thought or planned to see it. I've never read the Shopaholic novels even though I've heard of them and seen the books in book stores (just never read it...perhaps now I will after seeing this movie), until one day, one of my older sisters highly recommended I see it. She told me it was the best movie she's seen in a long time...and that's very rare for her to say that about a movie that she likes/loves the most. She also told me that it was worth the money. So I said, ok, I'll watch it. And I did recently. I went to see it with my Mom and we were pleasantly surprised at how awesome, so much fun, very funny, cute, and entertaining this movie was. Anyways, here's my full review of...
