Edge of Tomorrow Movie Review

The good: Action is way off the charts with this one! It’s hard not to have fun with Edge of Tomorrow. Also, Emily Blunt. Need we say more? The bad: They could have fleshed out some other key characters but it’s not real deal-breaker.  The ugly: The Mimics. The smaller ones reminded me of the […]

X-Men: Days of Future Past Review

The Good: The action, the pacing, the acting. All superb! The Bad: Wolverine. And when we say Bad, we meant, Bad-ass!  The Ugly: Seeing known mutant character/s being ripped apart—literally. The violence is shocking as it is gripping. He did it. I can’t believe he did it! Director Bryan Singer (X-Men, X2) was able to […]

Microsoft Devices Launches Lumia 630 in PH

Meet the first ever dual-SIM Lumia! Earlier this week, the guys at Microsoft Devices had their first product launch.

And while the change in the logo and name […]

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Movie Review

The Good: Emma Stone & Dane DeHaan. The Bad: Uneven pacing, clear lack of focus and everything being a hot (but beautifully CGI-rendered) mess. The Ugly: “I. AM. RHINO!” Serious WTF moment there. Opening strong in the Philippines with local box office sales records exceeding that of My Little Bossings (ha! Take that Kris Aquino), […]

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Movie Review

Oh my stars and stripes, THIS is the Captain America we’ve all been waiting for. With the disappointment that was the first installment, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is Marvel’s peace offering to any sub-par movies they made throughout the franchise (I’m looking at you, Iron Man 3). Yes, it’s that good, and yes you […]

Nokia Greenifies its Theater Fans

Today we saw the profile images of Nokia Philippine’s social networking sites turn an odd shade of green. But before we get into that (and before Nokia Philippines reveals what that means) it seems Nokia PH has been painting the town a little emerald even weeks before today. A couple of weeks back when Manila […]

NTC to Look Into Fair Use Policy and Data Caps After Multiple Complaints

Citing multiple complaints, the National Telecommunications Commission is finally taking a closer look into the “Fair Use Policy“/data cap issue (see above for a scanned copy of the letter).

The Nokia Lumia 1520 Review (Part 2): Bigger is Definitely Better

The saying “Size Does Matter” fits perfectly well with the Nokia Lumia 1520. I’ve been fiddling with it for more than a month now and I have been thoroughly amused with it despite being slightly unwieldy. Sporting a massive 6-inch screen, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is the biggest Windows Phone to date – and we’re […]

COLOUD The Boom Review: Here Comes the Boom

Nokia’s partnership with Coloud hits all the right notes We’ve reviewed a couple of Coloud products already here at Unbox and what’s another on-ear to start the year right, right?
