UP CLOSE with ENTENG KABISOTE and new family

I was really starstruck when I got the chance to see Bossing Vic Sotto up close during an intimate conference. As expected, he will wave to his fans, and give a comic regard to our jolly presence. Our anticipation for "Bossing" tested our patience and thank God he didn't disappoint us. He was like a father to us all, but for most ladies, his image as a "ladies' man" empowered some bloggers to take the opportunity to capture the moment through photos with him.
Vic Sotto stars in the new Enteng franchise as entry for the Metro Manila Film Festival coming Christmas Day at theaters nationwide. But now, it became much bigger with collaboration for another big hit during the MMFF, AiAi delas Alas' Tanging Ina. Thus, the new movie, "Enteng ng Ina Mo."
So why merge two big movies in one? To make it bigger, of course. Enteng Kabisote's and Ina Montecillo's chaotic families are open to unexpected possibilities bringing us more fun and exciting adventures plus the comedic factor.
In this movie, both Enteng and Ina will immerse in each others' worlds. Ina will come to the fantasy world of Enteng and the latter to take a break from Engkantasya and embrace reality. When their worlds collide, many unexpected things may happen.

Director Tony Y. Reyes gives his treatment in the movie after seeing the other Tanging Ina prequels. With due respect to Tanging Ina director Wenn Deramas, this is a total different output with no help from Direk Wenn.
Would this movie get a part 2? We hope so! I got the chance to ask Director Tony Reyes about pushing 3D production for better and full magic. But that will require higher cost and longer production time so we'll have to know what Bossing will say.

On December 25, bring your family and friends to the theaters and enjoy Enteng ng Ina Mo. This is Star Cinema and MZET Film's official entry to the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival.

NEW YEAR'S EVE movie review

what else is more touching than Valentine's Day than a movie that makes you reflect on the past year? not to mention the all star cast of NEW YEAR'S EVE. bringing back some of the cast like Jessica Biel and Ashton Kutcher, they are joined with Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lea Michele, Katherine Heigl, Halle Berry, Jon Bon Jovi, Josh Duhamel among others.
the film is about the preparations for New Year and what's going on in the lives of our characters. usually, the story goes around love which is the common denominator for all. love at all aspects, teenage love, parental love, forgotten love, love at unexpected places, etc.

story is centralized in Times Square in New York before the clock strikes at midnight. but according to Murphy's Law, the iconic Times Square Ball malfunctioned halfway. and in this incident, it was best for Hillary Swank's character to say that as every year comes to an end, we should stop and reflect to what we have done or experienced in the past year. and learn to embrace them and make it right in the future. indeed, New Year is a very important event in our lives to spend with those we love.
in this movie, you will want to meet the types of people portrayed. like Zac Efron who will make you believe things can happen, Jessica Biel who will be very generous. Halle Berry that can show her concern for you even if you're not related and all the rest who can give you a second chance.
like Valentine's Day, there are a lot of stories that you will have unexpected twists at the end. but New Year's Eve didn't have a lot of surprises. but it is still heartwarming. as for me, the coming year will be something to look forward to.

NEW YEAR'S EVE opens December 8, 2011 in Philippine theaters. brought to us by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

WARNER BROS' MOVIE LINE UPS ofr 2011

Warner Bros. Pictures proudly announces its enviable slate of films for 2011. Highlights include a new screen incarnation of comic book hero “Green Lantern,” a compelling re-imagining of “Red Riding Hood,” an all-girl, kick-ass action fantasy in “Sucker Punch” and the shocking conclusion to the “Harry Potter” saga in “Deathly Hallows – Part 2.”

Green Lantern. Each sector of space is protected by a Green Lantern, possessing a power ring that uses a powerful green energy to do anything within the limits of the user's imagination and will power. When the Green Lantern assigned to this sector of space finds himself dying on planet Earth, he tells the ring to find a suitable successor. The chosen replacement, hot-shot test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), finds himself with a new job he never expected...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. In this epic finale, the battle between the good and evil forces of the Wizarding world escalates into an all-out war. The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here.

Sucker Punch. Director Zach Snyder's epic action fantasy takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl (Emily Browning) whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary.

Red Riding Hood. Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) is in love with a brooding outsider Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), but her parents have arranged for her to marry the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). Unwilling to lose each other, Valerie and Peter are planning to run away together when they learn that Valerie’s older sister has been killed by the werewolf that prowls the dark forest surrounding their village. Panic grips the town as Valerie discovers that she has a unique connection to the beast—one that inexorably draws them together, making her both suspect…and bait.

Happy Feet 2. The sequel to the Academy Award®-winning animated smash hit, Happy Feet 2 returns audiences to the magnificent landscape of Antarctica, reuniting us with the world’s most famous tap-dancing penguin, Mumble (Elijah Wood), the love of his life, Gloria (Alecia Moore aka Pink) and their old friends Ramon and Lovelace (Robin Williams).

Sherlock Holmes 2. Guy Ritchie helms a new action-packed adventure, following the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.), and his longtime trusted associate, Dr. Watson (Jude Law), as they match wits with their arch-nemesis, the criminal genius Moriarty (Jared Harris).

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. The follow-up to the 2008 hit Journey to the Center of the Earth. The new journey begins when young adventurer Sean (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) joins the quest.

Hereafter. This Clint Eastwood film tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways: a blue-collar American (Matt Damon) who has a special connection to the afterlife, a French journalist (Cecile de France) who has a near-death experience that shakes her reality, and a London schoolboy who loses the person closest to him. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might—or must—exist in the hereafter.

Yogi Bear. Everyone’s favorite pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear comes to the big screen in a live-action/CG animated adventure in 3D!

The Rite. Inspired by true events, this psychological thriller follows skeptical seminary student who meets an unorthodox priest (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith, uncovering the devil’s reach even to one of the holiest places on Earth.

Unknown. Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakens after a car accident in Berlin to discover that his wife (January Jones) suddenly doesn’t recognize him and another man (Aidan Quinn) has assumed his identity. Ignored by disbelieving authorities and hunted by mysterious assassins, he finds himself alone, tired and on the run.

Crazy, Stupid Love. When fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protégé to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling).

The Hangover Part II. Best friends Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don’t always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.

Horrible Bosses. For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston) into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers…permanently.

Final Destination 5. Death makes a killing in the next installment in the horror series which once again proves that no matter where you run, no matter where you hide…you can’t cheat death.

The Apparition. When frightening events start to occur in their home, young couple (Ashley Greene and Sebastian Stan) discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment.

Dolphin Tale. This 3D family adventure is inspired by the remarkable true story of a courageous dolphin named Winter and the compassionate people (Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd) who banded together to save her life.

Contagion. Steven Soderbergh's thriller follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to find a cure and control the panic that spreads faster than the virus itself. At the same time, ordinary people (Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law) struggle to survive in a society coming apart.

Hall Pass. When the two best buddies (Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis) begin to show signs of restlessness at home, their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) take a bold approach to revitalizing their marriages: granting them a “hall pass,” one week of freedom to do whatever they want…no questions asked.

first look on REAL STEEL by DreamWorks

In this first-look photo from DreamWorks PicturesREAL STEEL, which began shooting live-action scenes recently, Hugh Jackman isn't throwing the punches — the guy to the left is.

The movie, directed by Shawn Levy (“Date Night”), imagines a world in which human boxing is non-existent, replaced by leagues of mechanized pugilists. It's expected to arrive in theaters in November 2011.

"The moment of walking in and seeing these robots, my jaw was on the floor," Jackman said. That's because the robot in this image is a real device, not a digital visual effect.

Motion-capture animation is used in the film when the machines are brawling (with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard working as an adviser on those), but 19 real-life animatronic giants were created for scenes with the human actors.

Levy says that blend was encouraged by Steven Spielberg, an executive producer. (This is a DreamWorks film being released by Disney's Touchstone Pictures.)

"There are some things only visual effects can pull off," Levy says. "But when you give an actor a real thing, in this case a real 8-foot-tall machine, to interact with and do dialogue opposite, you get a more grounded reality to the performance."

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future, where the sport of boxing has gone hi-tech, REAL STEEL stars Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

REAL STEEL is a DreamWorks Picture to be distributed locally by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.
