Man of Steel Trailer 2 is Out, and It Rocks!

I'm not a fan of Superman! Well, that statement is already outdated as soon as I heard the news that Christopher Nolan's next project is the reboot of the DC Comics superhero franchise. Why the change of opinion, you may ask. Well, it's purely Nolan. Let me explain a bit about it by recalling some of Nolan's works.

Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy

Well, I'm not a fan of Batman too until I saw the movie The Dark Knight. It's all because of the buzz and the favorable write-ups about the spectacular performance of the late Heath Ledger playing the role of the Joker. After watching the movie though, I was convinced then that Batman is a great superhero.

Then, four years later comes The Dark Knight Rises. How can I describe it? Ummm...I guess the word "very good" is an understatement. It was one of the best superhero movies I have ever watched in my life.

Well, if you may ask about the first movie, Batman Begins, well, yes, it was a great movie as well. Actually, it was the last movie that I saw among the trilogy.

Inception

I guess you would agree that Inception was a great movie also. Well, it was great and it was different. It's unique among traditional science fiction movies. I can compare it to The Matrix movie in the sense that it introduced something new to the movie goers.


Nolan's Legacy and Superman 2013

The movies I mentioned above comprises what I termed as Nolan's Legacy of beautiful worth-your-money movies. What those movies have in common is their uniqueness. Well, Batman's character is nit unique but the Dark Knight trilogy story is. And the experience of watching those movies were common: it takes you out of your world and brings you right there where the scene is happening.So back to the introduction of this article, when I heard Nolan producing Superman, I had little doubts in my head as to what quality to expect.

The first Superman 2013 trailer was released last July. That alone already convinced me that my expectation will be fulfilled, even surpassed. And now, Superman 2013 also known as Man of Steel newest trailer is out. On seeing this trailer, it appears to me that six months is a century. The movie is due on June 2013 and I can't wait to see it on the big screen. Here's the trailer for your enjoyment.


About Man of Steel (Superman 2013)

Man of Steel tells the story of the origin of Superman. The story runs from his childhood until he became an adult. From the trailer, the movie has a dark and mature tone, certainly made more for adults than for kids. Typical to Nolan's movies, the film's superhero theme was mixed with contrasting principles. Will, Clark Kent continue to hide his true identity just what he was taught by his earthly parents or will he reveal himself as Superman and change the world as what his true father told him?

Henry Cavill plays Clark Kent (Superman), Amy Adams plays Lois Lane, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane plays Clark's earthly parents, Russel Crowe plays Jor-El, Clark's biological father. The movie is directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder. Warner Brothers will distribute the film.

Resigning? SSS Will Deduct Your Loan Balance from Your Last Pay

The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector. I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following: "The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)." In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
