Honestly, I think Midas should go, again because of probity.  

He unabashedly and unashamedly supported Corona for years up until the impeachment trial.  However in an interview with ABS, he suddenly said that his loyalty goes for the institution and not for Corona (this was in view of his recent replacement as PIO Head of the SC). 

His loyalty to Corona seems to go beyond Corona's competence and calmness, but also as to Coronas undying desire to stay in his position.  >> 

 

Film Review_Chronicle (2012)

CHRONICLE  

One of the best sci films in the past few years (and its not even superhero-related). Directed by Joshua Trank, the film tells the story of three friends finding telekinetic powers from an undetermined source and centers on how their powers transform their normal lives leading to a somewhat tragic end. 

The film is told in the so-called ‘found footage’ style (similar to Cloverfield’ and Quarantine) and although laden with not-so-expensive special effects, the CGIs interwove with the plot excellently; and better yet, unlike with Green Lantern, Thor or Ironman in which the CGIs overshadowed the plot, Chronicle offers a relatable, interesting and endearing story altogether. 

I wasn’t able to watch this in the theatres but after seeing several snippets from the web, I finally got the dvd and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Better that Super 8 (produced by Steven Spielberg), this film is worthy of your DVD / Bluray collection. 

My Rating : A-

Film Review_Silent House_Cabin (2012)

The Silent House. 

Yes, there was a house and yes, there was a lot of silence inside the house but NO, it wasn't creepy at all. 

The plot seemed interesting enough and as we hold our breath for a really creepy or even scary ending, lets say like ‘The Strangers’ or ‘identity’ , it turns out to be a big dud. As uninteresting as the lead actress’ acting, the deserted Silent House and its twist-the-twist ender bring bore to another level.

My Rating : B

Cabin in the Woods 

Similarly with the ‘Cabin in the Woods (written by Joss Whedon of the Avengers), ‘Cabin’ failed miserably combing the horror of The Midnight Meat Train and the peculiarity of 13 Ghosts and appeal of “The Truman Show’. Another twist-the-twist ender, one is left wondering why there was even an attempt to make the plot plausible. 

My Rating : B 

The two films were much-awaited horror / thriller genre films this year and sadly the waiting turned sour.

The missing two years can be credited to, well obviously, with the prevalence of and 'addiction' to Facebook and it is a nice surprise that my blogspot account is still active kaya might as well use it again  :)
