SPIDERMAN the movie(1-3 )Web of messages


A month ago Sony pictures smashes another blockbuster success with its latest Marvel Comics flick Spiderman the movie 3.An instant classic with regards to its storyline ,effects and cinematography.

What I’ve really like with these three Spiderman were; with each and every installment there is a moral message and lesson and not just an array of great storyline, fight scenes, superb special effects, flying and swinging super heroes. After I’ve left the movie house in each and every Spiderman movie a lesson would be embedded into mind and heart.

In Spiderman 1 the message was “with great power lies great responsibility”. It reminds me of people who was given power whether political or great wealth but instead of doing good because of this gifts they tend to abuse and forget that this gifts were from God and should be given back in honoring Him by doing good and what is right. However this message does not only applies to politicians or rich people but to every human being because each and every human was given power whether they are talent ,finances ,opportunities, resources, etc.And with this we should always use them to do what is right.

Spiderman 2 ,this is about big dreams,Spidey told Dr.Octopus in the latter stage of the movie that “we should remain focus to do what is right even though we have to give up the most, even our dreams”. All I can is for us people to remain straight though sometimes we have to take the road less traveled to get to our goals. Or sometimes we have to give up things or dreams if they’re not in line to what is right and be selfless.

In Spiderman 3 there is this black substance that created this black spiderman ,his black or dark alter ego which if he dons the black suit his character changes into this egomaniacal spiderman.In this movie it tells us that there are inner battles in us that we should overcome and it’s up to us to decide to choose .

All I can say is that the three Spiderman weaved moral messages to both the young and the not so young.Truly amazing.IMO

2007 Philippine Toy Convention

Last June 16 and 17,the 6th Annual Philippine Toy Convention was held at the Megatrade Hall at the SM Megamall.I was able to attend the first day and it was packed with hobbyists ,enthusiasts, collectors and even on-lookers of different toy genre. There were booths and stalls selling toys both common and hard to find, video games, exhibitors, toy making competition and various hobby and toy organizations and clubs.It also showcases high end collectibles like life-sized statues and busts. Unfortunately for us wrestling aficionados there’s not much wrestling items this year however this year’s toycon proved that toy collecting and other toy related hobby had evolved and have gone into a marvelous level.
