From the same company that brought you Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, comes another movie that talks about life and the pursuit of dreams -Turbo. Turbo is a jam packed action movie about an unlikely hero - a snail who dreams of life in the fast lane.

Turbo is a snail with a dream – a dream to win the Indy 500 – a fast paced race for cars. As fate would have it, one day, he gets a chance of a lifetime when a freak accident happens and alters his molecular structure. On the road to chasing his dream, he meets and makes friends with other snails - stereotype busters like him.

Audiences everywhere are bound to be enamored with this new animated treat. It has something for everyone – a fast paced action story, a lesson to pursue dreams and never give up, loads of humorous quips and repartees and lots of memorable witty lines. Not only does it have all these, DreamWorks boasts of a stellar voice cast as well. Ryan Reynolds leads the cast as the titular character, Turbo, followed by Paul Giamatti as Chet, Samuel L. Jackson (who is uncharacteristically soft spoken here) as Whiplash, singer, songwriter and rapper Snoop Dogg as S to the M to the double O , V, E!, ‘Bridesmaids’and hilarious SNL actress Maya Rudolph, ‘Hangover’s’ Ken Jeong and ‘Fast and Furious’ Michelle Rodriguez.

‘Turbo’ speeds into theaters everywhere on July 19.

Since the release of its first movie, the minions of the Despicable Me franchise has won the hearts of viewers the world over. And who can blame anyone? These pint sized, yellow, bubbly, innocent little things that are blindly loyal to their master Gru are powerfully invincible….and eternally funny. These creatures are so powerful they can withstand any blast – nuclear or otherwise. This could very well be the number one feature any super villain could ask for. But what is most remarkable about these weird little munchkins is their loyalty to Gru, an indication that they would follow Gru to the ends of the Earth….if that is where he wishes to go.

The Minions were actually modeled after physically similar characters - the cheerful Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Willy Wonka) and the bold and brave Jawas from Star Wars – an unlikely combination that absolutely works. Oh, and did I mention that the directors themselves voiced them? They must have had a blast - literally!

Since the movie is set to open in the Philippines in a few days, it is only fitting and proper that fanatics out there know that this climbed – surprisingly – to the top of the box office records!

As of Sunday, 23 June, Monsters University has been reported to lead the movies that were opening for the week, beating Man of Steel and World War Z for the key position. Monsters University debuted with an estimated gross of $136.5 million in 36 different markets.

Incidentally, this Disney movie is the first prequel ever to be shown. In the past, sequels have been popular among moviegoers but the success of this film confirms that prequels can be just as strong.

Monsters University features the lives of Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan sans Boo and before their jobs at Monsters Inc. It gives us a more in depth look at their character and personalities as well as a humorous spin on their then budding friendship.

Watch Monsters University, opens in theatres (in Philippine cinemas on June 26.)

I loved the idea of tying thousands of balloons in his house in order for him to fly.  I also admired the character of Dug. He is a lovable golden mutt who wants to prove that he belongs to his master.

This movie is  both funny and adventurous and conveys moral values that our relationship with others is what makes our life meaningful and colorful and that makes our happiness goes UP.

I really want to watch Finding Nemo ever since I heard good reviews from this movie. I remember the first time I heard good remarks was when I had my first year of work as a tutor in a certain tutorial center. The whole family of my employer watched it and they had been saying that it was really a good movie not to mention the lessons you get from watching Finding Nemo.

Luckily, days ago I find out that our neighbor has a DVD of it so I borrowed and watched it.  And  the movie is indeed beautiful. Though the story line is a bit simple but I really like the positive message it leaves to the audience.

What is it? Well, it is the love of a father to his son and believing on what your son can do. Marlin (Nemo's father) went through a lot before he was able to reach Sydney and find his son. On the other hand, Nemo was able to learn so many things by overcoming his fears.

One more thing I like about this movie was the voice of Nemo (so cute and adorable fish).  And the voice behind it is no other than Alexander Gould. He was 7 years old that time. I bet he is making tons of money out from this movie. By the way, Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres were also impressive as the voices of Marlin and Dory respectively.

Doraemon is one of my favorite comic or cartoons series from Japan. I love the fact that GMA-7 invested on this good show. A lot of kids and even adults who are still children at heart (like me) really love it.

I don't wake up that early but everytime I hear our neighbors TV already airing the show I would immediately switch our TV on too.
