Spider-man 3 REVIEW

April 20, 2007


 BRIEF RUNDOWN: Main titles begin, same flipping marvel logo, same brilliant Elfman theme (this time composed by Chris Young, but more on that later). No Alex Ross paintings, but there is some great CGI which focuses a lot on black webs, which is a hint at things to come, the composition of the titles is similar to that of the first movie, as opposed to the second. So at this point the film has just begun and already I feel like I’m visiting an old and treasured friend for the first time in 3 years.

I can’t really describe how ecstatic I was at this point. The first shot of the movie is footage from spider-man’s final swing in Spider-Man 2, at least I’m pretty sure it was, we here a voice over from Peter, more of the same, but this time he notes how things are finally going his way, and the camera zooms out and we see Peter and a group of kids watching the clip of Spidey swinging on a big screen suspended over the streets of New York.

The first 20 minutes is basically that, just the viewer watching Peter, and its so odd to see things going right for him, it’s a good feeling, but thankfully it doesn’t last. We are introduced to Sandman early on, and ironically he’s the biggest surprise in the movie, he is being played off as the typical thug who kills in the movies promotion but he is very similar to Doc Ock actually, he’s a family man who I believe is a good man at heart, and he has a great scene with Cliff Robertson, his character teaches Peter that the past is the past, and if he really is going to be a hero, he has to be able to forgive someone who has done a wrong, and that revenge will do nothing but make things more painful.

and they say it is GOOD !!
wow! spider blood is flowing once again
I smell a Spider-man theme blog for the end of the month till the showing of May 1 wohooohh~!

'Spider-Man 3' Advances RP Opening Day to May 1, Three Days Ahead of U.S.

from : http://www.clickthecity.com/movies_article.asp?p=1591

Columbia Pictures' “Spider-Man 3” will swing to Philippine theaters on May 1, Labor Day — three days earlier than the film’s May 4 opening in the U.S., this according to Victor R. Cabrera, general manager of Columbia Pictures Philippines.

This means Filipino moviegoers will be the first in the world (along with Japan and a few other Asian countries) to witness Spidey’s latest, exhilarating adventures. Considered as the motion picture event of 2007, “Spider-Man 3” will have the widest rollout in Philippine history, to be shown simultaneously across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

Reuniting the original cast led by Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco, ”Spider-Man 3” is directed by Sam Raimi, who also helmed the first two blockbuster installments of the Marvel Comics superhero, “Spider-Man” and “Spider-Man 2.” To date, the "Spider-Man" series has surpassed $1.6 billion in worldwide box office receipts.

Joining the ensemble cast of the third installment are Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace, Bryce Dallas Howard, James Cromwell and Theresa Russell.

A complex web of secrets, vengeance, love and forgiveness, “Spider-Man 3” is a riveting adventure that will transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights. In the film, Peter Parker (Maguire) has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. (Dunst) and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. As Spider-Man basks in the public's adulation for his accomplishments and he is pursued by Gwen Stacy (Howard), who rivals M.J. for his affections, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. His newfound self-assuredness is jeopardized when he faces the battle of his life against two of the most feared villains ever (Church, Grace), whose unparalleled power and thirst for retribution threaten Peter and everyone he loves.

“Spider-Man 3” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Big Apple’s Spider-man week and radioactive ‘laway’

Big Apple's Spider-man week and radioactive 'laway'

Spider-Man Week in NYC

http://spider-manweeknyc.com/

Wow! kindly check out the upcoming events coming in NYC, and Im so excited and also inspired by their marketing gimik for the movie Spider-man 3, having a week event right on time of its movie premiere. and thanks for the big wigs for making such a big event. Here in Manila I haven't heard any big event or promotional gimik for the Spider-man 3 movie, I know that comics and toy collectors are waiting for some big release and also launchings of its toys and merchandise, and it includes me waiting for a radioactive spider party hahahaha.

The NYC spidey event slapped me with new ideas in events and marketing, they tied up with sponsors and also with them they created an activity and event for them and it relates to the movie. thats cool di ba?!

Just like my project event titled : Allspark is on its way into bigger heights and with this kind of activity it gave me great ideas on how will I bring a big number of people to a large scale event.
large scale and small scale is a term I usually use when describing events, for example an event that can accomodate thousands can be considered as a large scale event, while events that can accomodate at around hundreds or less or the venue is so small, i can call it small scale events.

why i call it? just to make label and think of their major developments soon, the small scale can turned into a large scale event after a year or the large scale event can turn into a super biggie upsize international event hahahaha I dont have yet the right term for that but Im glad that every event being organized here in Manila from comics, anime, cosplay, music and etc are very successful, it means that pinoys are very active and a party dinosaur.(not animal!)

gear it up guys! coz its already April and more ground breaking events coming to town and save a lot of moolah coz the ultimate grand daddy of convention in the Philippines is coming back this June 16-17, 2007. yup! ToyCon na sa Pinas!!

Vote for Sale for 2007 !!!!!!!

Vote for Sale for 2007 !!!!!!!

VOTE FOR SALE
Show opens on April 12, Thursday, 6 pm at Theo Gallery, Cafe Saguijo

27+20 is the name given to the collaboration between Nico Puertollano and Katwo Librando. This is 27+20’s first solo show inspired by thoughts like: “Doesn’t Chiz look like Bamboo?”, “Is block-voting fair?”, “What do these political parties stand for?”, “Why does Richard Gomez need a celebrity endorser?” or “How come nobody approaches us to buy our votes? We need canned goods too.”

***

Nothing can be hotter than than a dirty menage-a-trois of politics, skateboarding and our pre-hispanic language. these are all important elements of Nico Puertollano’s work in “VOTE FOR SALEI.” Nico, literally, takes the assesment of political values into the streets and urges all to step and ride it to the asphalt and to account for a lost language that we all secretly crave. A skater, artist and long-time resident of NYC, Nico shows us a glimpse of a world where Skateboarding is not just a fad or a nuisance in the streets but a blazing form of self-expression and a way to fuse his passions into pieces which characterize a strong statement about his observations on politics and elections.

***

Why is it that we know more about Paris and Lindsay than Jamalul Kiram? Katwo Librando indulges our secret obsession with celebrities in her series of illustrations that merge politics and female celebrities in a campaign spectacle that is admittedly absurd and fascinating. Her pieces speak of a world where The Cute is placed side-by-side with The Propaganda, a celebrity culture which seduces our sensibilities and exploits our suspension of disbelief while we slowly submit our will to political apathy and made to think that we can’t deny ourselves of this form of shallow entertainment.
