QUEZON City, Philippines (January 23) – It may have its ups and downs but 2016 ended on a good note for the kids with three awesome movies which debuted on its last quarter. The last quarter of the year gave us tasty trolls, shape-shifting tricksters and a singing competition! You know the drill, beware of spoilers! First off in the list is “Trolls”! Starring Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake, the movie was released by Dreamworks […]
LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — Buddy cop comedy “Zootopia” on Sunday nabbed the Golden Globe for best animated feature film, crowning a record year for Disney. The film centers on the intrepid rabbit police officer Judy Hopps, who along with a fox solves a crime in a metropolis inhabited by a diverse population of anthropomorphized animals. The critically acclaimed flick was helped along by a massive promotional campaign, raking in more than one billion dollars […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (December 20) – Fandom. From the word itself we get the meaning. It is a collective of fans sharing the same interests, gathering together to enthusiastically celebrate the same through cosplaying, writing fan fictions, maintaining fandom wikis and others. Due to the power of the internet, no interest – be it books, movies, TV shows, memes, what-have-you – no matter how obscure – can go unnoticed. And fans from around the world […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (November 23) – Finally, the long awaited movie of the year has arrived. Ever since teasers were released back in 2015, every Potterite, Potterhead and whatever you call die-hard Harry Potter fans have been waiting at the edge of their seats for “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. As every Potter fan will know, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” is one of the textbooks used by students of Hogwarts. […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (November 7) – As origin stories go, Doctor Strange can be counted as one of the best that Marvel has come up with. Of all of the Marvel Universe characters, Doctor Strange can be considered as the most esoteric, delving into the ancient philosophies as well as concepts like parallel universes, time-space continuum and others, more than enough to make an ordinary movie goer’s nose bleed. But kudos to the filmmakers! They managed […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (September 8) – At the risk of sounding like an unabashed Koreanophile (which I am not categorically denying), “Train to Busan” is one of the top must-see movies of 2016. Unlike other anticipated films (*cough* Suicide Squad *cough*), “Train to Busan” or to give its proper Korean title “Busanhaeng” made its premiere silently. It was part of the Midnight Screening section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival which was held in May 13. […]
QUEZON City, Philippines – Grossing $267.1 million worldwide on its first weekend alone, Suicide Squad proves the power of hype and the advantage of having well-edited trailers. I admit I have been waiting for it, too. Ever since Warner Bros. released the film’s first trailer in the San Diego Comic Con last year, I have waited with bated breath. And I am not alone, millions all over the world expressed the same sentiment. Then came the trailer […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (August 2) – Although I’m a fan of Emma Roberts, that’s not the sole reason why I watched Nerve. Mobile devices, social media and now augmented reality. These developments have great impact in our daily lives. And it can also blur the lines between reality and fiction. Nerve explores the possibilities offered by these developments. Imagine a game seen and watched by millions. A game that can be seen and watched anywhere and […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (July 4) – I watched the first Independence Day film in the cinema back when I was twelve years old (do the math). As a child, I’m already a fan of science fiction, a trait that I did not manage to outgrow, and Independence Day was like a special treat for me – inspiring my imagination for extraterrestrial life and the possibility of inter-galactic civilization. As the years passed, and having seen […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (June 20) – After three years, the Four Horsemen are back in action! They are more than ready to astound the world with their reality-defying magical acts but Daniel Radcliffe stands in their way. And – to be clear – Daniel Radcliffe is no wizard in this. He is actually the stark opposite! “Now You See Me 2” boasts of a stellar cast, with the likes of Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Dave […]
by Frankie TAGGART LOS ANGELES, United States (AFP) — She grew up around movie sets watching her father direct Tom Cruise, Robert DeNiro and other Hollywood greats, yet Bryce Dallas Howard still has her moments of giddy fandom. The 35-year-old actress recalls her somewhat undignified first meeting with Robert Redford on the set of her new film, Disney’s remake of its own 1977 classic “Pete’s Dragon,” directed by David Lowery. “There was this big empty […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (June 8) – “You can be anything!” A very empowering message delivered by Disney’s first quarter animated treat, Zootopia. I think I’m not spoiling anyone when I say that Zootopia is a story about a cute bunny named Judy Hopps. You see, Judy is not content about staying in the rural town of Bunnyburrow and becoming a carrot farmer like her parents. She has big dreams. And that is becoming the first-ever […]
