Blue Sky Nursing Srubs Review

Nursing is a very demanding and moving job so wearing a comfortable uniform or while doing hospital errands and emergencies is very important. I am not a nurse but my friend is and she’s been very vocal in her discomfort on her nursing scrubs. And I don’t need to be a nurse to understand her protest on her nursing uniform.

Hospitals provide their staff their uniform. But uncomfortable as she is, I had no choice but to help her find where to buy cheap scrubs. Nursing scrubs are also sold almost everywhere in the market which makes it a little more complicated which store and service to tap.

Luckily, we were able to found Blue Sky Scrubs. As expected from all store, they offer the assurance on their wears equating the amount of money that you spent.

The design of their scrub pants and tops does the trick. Women from the entire corner of medical turf are generating good words pertaining to their scrubs. They are unique from the other design because of their narrowed scrub top and the two reverse pockets right on the nursing scrub pants.

The Blue Sky Scrubs present two fashions styles scrub tops – the original and simple, with bottoms that are made especially for women. The two scrubs provide equal worth of slimming fit. The quality of fabric used in both styles is impressive. The simple scrub is plain, but top quality and provides very comfortable feel.

Avatar The Movie: (James Cameron Avatar) The Movie Behind The Scenes

If you have not seen the movie Avatar, then you might be missing one of the best movies ever been made. Before going to the theater, I really have no idea that this movie is that great. The only motivation that I had to watch it was it’s beautifully done trailer and knowing its maker. Avatar was produced from the makers of the highly acclaimed movies like Titanic. Check out the movie’s official website at http://www.avatarmovie.com/index.html for more information.

Imagine, the first day of production was way back 2007, 3 years ago before the film was actually released. It took them such number of years to complete the project.Actually, the director, James Cameron said that he already conceptualized the movie many yeras before but because of his super advance concept, the technology was not yet capable of actualizing them. So he waited for the right time and I must say, he did a good job for it.The movie may not be as perfect as it was if pushed without the perfect technology and effects.

Contrary to what I usually do here wherein I say a lot about the movie; I’ll make a difference this time. Instead, I have posted here behind the scenes of the film which I got from YouTube to give you a glimpse of what this movie all about.

Verdict:

IT’S AMAZING, TRULY ENTERTAINING, AND WORTH THE PENNY AND TIME SPENT ON THEATERS.

Monsters vs. Aliens

The movie centers on the character named Susan Murphy, who is about to marry her fiancé. On the day of her wedding, a meteorite loaded with Quantonium – a one of a kind and powerful substance – landed on the earth near the ground where she was standing, and before the wedding is over, she starts to grow into a giant monster. She found herself locked up in a secret government compound where she meets a group of monster, who became her friends. They are then called into action, under the supervision of General W.R. Monger, to fight the aliens and saved the world from looming destruction.

Verdict:

A five star film! A highly entertaining and hilarious film suited for the whole family.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

It’s glad to be back and blogging again. It has been months since I last wrote a review of the movies that I watched. Now it’s time to get back to the business.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is indeed one of the most awaited movies of 2009. Ever since the last Transformers movie, it sequel has already been buzzing around the movie goer’s mind. I bet everybody has a background of what transformers

Story wise, I have observed some lapses in the Revenge of the Fallen, I bet some movie reviews have pointed these out to.

Firstly, how come there are only two pieces of energy source remained out the gigantic energy source cube in the first movie?

Secondly, if Megatron was revived by the other piece of the energy source why can’t it be done with Optimus? Instead they used it to revive a decepticon yet helped them to find answers about the fallen and on how to revive Optimus which is odd because he is a decepticon and he is “old”. Do robots get old?

Thirdly, how come people from other places don’t know that decepticons and autobots exist where in fact, a huge fight happened in the middle of the city in Los Angeles two years ago?

Fourth, how were they transported to Egypt which is miles away from where they are when they revived that old decepticon?

Fifth, how come bumble bee didn’t noticed that the girl what a decpticon? Instead he just threw it away and not do other things to warn Sam.

Sixth, why didn’t the primes destroyed that evil decepticon where they can do it anyway? Instead they just ceased it using a certain energy sphere (or I don’t know how it should be termed).

Seventh, is that Sam loses his consciousness and went to a heaven-like place and talked to the legendary primes. It’s the first time I saw a movie with a robot heaven.  And also, Optimus Prime is a descendant of the primes? How come? Do robots have children?

Lastly, if it took three primes to defeat that evil decepticon, how c0me Optimus beat the two powerful enemies just using the scraps of an old decepticon?

Actually, these are all observations. I you were to ask my judgement, I still find this movie superb. Why? Simply because it is entertaining. It has great graphics, it was action packed, and most specially, it got the attention of the masses which made it obviously chart topping.

Slamdog Millionaire

After hearing a lot of feedbacks about the most talked Slamdog Millionaire, I finally had time to site and see for myself why the movie got plenty of awards – Best Motion Picture, Drama, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Original Score (these are only few) in the recently concluded 2009 Golden Globe Awards. Now, does the movie deserve all of these? My answer is a thousand YES!

Slamdog Millionaire is a story depicts the life of an 18-year old orphan boy who once lived on the slams of India.  Jamal Malik, who worked as an errand boy to a call center industry got the chance to play to a multi-million game show – the Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Jamal luckily answered the questions and finally went through the game. Before reaching the 20-Million rupee question, Jamal was arrested and was placed to an interrogation because the host accused him cheating. Jamal then told the police why he was able to answer the question even though he was uneducated. He tells his story and his personal experiences on his being slum, about his brother, and his beloved Latika in every question.

What makes this story great? I must say that this is one of the most realistic movies I saw. Watching it is just like hearing an orphan telling about his hardships and struggles on the streets. The violence, the emotions, the realms of a third world country, and the beauty of love regardless of any situation was nicely presented on the movie. It also showed the kind of life the slams of India has – the children, the women, and the heartless adults. The nicest thing that I like about the movie is the light after dark part. That something good is possible when you just don’t lose hope.

The cast? They’re great! The innocent look and the sad eyes of Dev Patel are perfect for Jamal’s character. Frieda Pinto is really pretty, just the perfect flower on the movie. The rest of the characters are well-suited. This movie’s characters must be the well selected Indian actors.

My verdict… The movie is definitely great! I just don’t like the last part. I think that dancing is no longer necessary. I guess its just part of Indian movie tradition. J

WATCHMEN Movie (2009)

I am really clueless about what WATCHMEN all about. I’m not even aware that it’s an adaptation of they say “famous” comic series. I really don’t have an idea about the movie. All that I remembered why I was interested to watch the movie was its trailer. I find it interesting because of its graphic effects. I did a bit of research about the movie and even searched of the rating at IMDB and it was convincing, it rated 8.5 of 10. My friend who’s also a movie buff confirmed me that it was nice as she has a bit background of the comic series and she agreed it has a nice effects. (She hasn’t seen the movie too and was just also amazed by the trailer).

WATCHMEN is a story about the series death of super heroes that exist during the war between the United Stated and Soviet Union. The apex of the situation started during the death of Edward Blake (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) known as the comedian. Walter Kovacs (Jackie Earle Haley) known as Rorschach felt the urgency of investigating the case and warned his former comrades Dan Dreiberg (Patrick Wilson), formerly the second Nite Owl, the super powered and emotionally detached Dr. Jon Osterman (Billy Crudup) known as Doctor Manhattan and his lover Laurie Jupiter , the second Silk Spectre. To cut the story short, it appears the person behind the killings of the masked super heroes is Adrian Veidt (Mathew Goode) known as Ozymandias, a former superhero turned into a successful businessman. Manhattan worked for Ozymandias to develop a device that can provide energy to the earth. But it turned out that Ozymandias just used Manhattan’s power to create a massive destruction enable to re-direct the focus of Soviet Union and US that leads to the end of war and unity against the powerful Dr. Manhattan.

The verdict, I find the movie “boring” and I tagged it as the 2^nd “Beneath Lockness” , one of the worst movie I’ve seen. I think the story is nice because there really is a value and the acting of the characters was acceptable. However, the style of how the movie was made is awful. I don’t know it’s just because I have no idea of the comic series or the movie really sucks. First, the opening credits took almost 10 minutes. Seeing the boring and to long credit already made me sleepy and wondering if I could still a refund. Second the sequence of events is so confusing. For fresh viewer like me who have no background about the story, the movie will just leave confusions and disappointment. The movie didn’t even have the scene why and how they became heroes. Plus, it’s my first time to see a super hero who killed a girl whom he got impregnated. Words are not enough how disappointed I was. For a movie that got a good rating and plenty of viewers falling in line, at least it should have made me say, “Acceptable”.

Because of WATCHMEN, I was able to conclude things; 1. Never trust the graphics alone, 2. Don’t watch a movie if you’re not familiar with the character and for a movie that you’ve never heard before, and 3. Never trust IMDB.

Push

Push is a story of extra ordinary individuals who grouped together to save themselves from the capture of a secret government organization. This organization namely “Division” captures people with powers to make them weapons for war. The Division rounds up psychic experiments on them to boost up their powers and to assemble the most powerful commanding army in the world. Unluckily, no one has ever survived these tests except “Kira” (played by Camella Belle), a “pusher”. Pushers have the most dangerous psychic powers: the ability to control other’s minds and actions.

On the other hand, Nick Gant (played by Chris Evans) is a second generation “mover”, people with power to move things. He has been hiding from Division since his father was murdered more than a decade ago. He lived a normal life in a closely populated place in Hong Kong until Cassie (played by Dakota Fanning), a 13-year old “watcher” came. The young watcher seeks his help to find a briefcase that has $6 million in it. Cassie also told Nick that she envisioned that they should find Kira to help to join them.

Generally, the movie was great. I actually didn’t have an idea what it is all about. A friend told me that Push is a good movie and so I viewed its trailer in the internet. I liked what I saw in the so since its Friday, I asked my cousin to watch movie with me. Push is for all ages. Though the story is very much common, the overall film is nice. You won’t feel bored to any part of it. At the end of the movie you’re sure wish that you have the same powers with them. The effects are good too.

As expected, Dakota Fanning did well. She’s really cute, especially that her role was a young watcher who acts like a complete grown up. Chris Evans was as gorgeous as he is on his “Cellular” movie. Camella Belle is very beautiful and the character suits her well. I really enjoyed Push. I think there will be a sequel of this movie because there are some things that are not resolved yet. I recommend Push to everybody and I am looking forward for the PUSH II. 

InkHeart

Inkheart is a fantasy movie based from the first book of book of the Inkheart trilogy novel written by Cornelia Funk.

Inkheart is about a 12-year old girl named Meggie Folchart who has been curious about the disappearance of her mother when she was still a child. Her life changes in an instant when she realizes that her father Mortimer or Mo, a bookbinder has a unique ability; every time he reads a book aloud, he can bring the characters into the real world, but it brings a person from the real world to the book as an exchange. When Meggie and her father went to a city, a stranger approached her and learned that the stranger whose name is Dustfinger is acquainted with her father. Mo, that time, was on denial about what had happened to his wife and dragged Meggie away. They went to her mother’s aunt, Elinor. But Dustfinger managed to follow them and confronted Mo about the book, the Inkheart. A group of strangers appeared and captured Meggie, Mo, Dustfinger and Elinor. Meggie learns that all of them will be brought to a mysterious man named Capricorn.

Capricorn is also a character in a book that was brought to the real world. He fancied the real world and didn’t want to go back in the book again. He built his castle and seeks for Mo whom he referred to as “Silver-tongued”. He used Mo to read portions in the book that will bring him wealth. Mo, Meggie, and Elinor were imprisoned while Dustfinger discovered that Mo’s wife was no longer in the book and was held as a servant in the castle’s kitchen. Dustfinger made an exchanged promise with Mo that he would help him find his wife in return that he will read him back in the book. They escaped in the castle and searched for the original writer of the Inkheart hoping that they would find a last copy of the book as Capricorn burned theirs. Mo and Dustfinger went back to castle to rescue his wife. Meggie on the other hand was entrusted to the author. By then, she discovered that she inherited the gift of his father; she also is a Silver-tongue. In search for Mo and Dustfinger, Meggie was brought back to the castle in exchange. Actually, the story is really for children. Even of not finishing it, viewers will immediately understand how will they be able to solve do their adventures. The first part is really boring and will leave you clueless. They didn’t even present the origin of the Silver-tongues. Good thing the latter part of the movie was a bit nice. Especially the effects, it was well done and the girl who played Meggie is very pretty.

Characters:

Meggie Folchart – Eliza Bennett

Mo Folchart – Brendan Fraser

Dustfinger – Paul Betan

Elinor Loredan – Helen Mirren

Capricorn – Andy Serkis
