My Pick: Banana (A Despicable Me “Mini Movie”)

Here’s a bit of throwback feature. And since the minion fever seems to diminish by a bit anytime from now, here’s something I would like to leave for now.

How about this? Three of the primary cast of minions craved for banana. They all wanted to grab a bite of that fruit. Who won the battle?

The Review: Despicable Me 2

The minions have gone crazy again, eh? The only good problem though is that they’re more and they’re even despicable unlike Gru.

Months prior to the showing of this movie, the Philippines became one of the nations who seemed to get struck under the influence and cravings for minion. They’re all over the places – toy stores, every single McDonald’s chain, and even funny photos circulating the social media – be it an user’s profile photo or just a timeline post of a look-alike-slash-twin-brother-separated-at-birth to the nation’s president or even to one of the society’s premier talk show host (does BA-BA-BA-BUZZ ring a bell?).

I saw the first installment of the Despicable Me motion picture franchise a few weeks ago, and ended up with symptoms of a mentally retarded child running all over me. Heck, kidding aside, I envied Pharell William’s genes for scoring and making music for these films. Good job for that then 37-year old fella, who appeared to lost his oars on the mainstream shores when the pop music went “bubblegum” for too much.

Okay, fast forward track to 2013, please?
