Tadaa! NYSM2 trailer is out and here's what I think of it

Finally the magical trailer of Now You See Me has been posted online and NYSM fans could be reacting happy or sad with the new movie. Here are my takes on the new trailer:

1. At least majority of the Four Horsemen are still present. Isla Fisher of course cannot join Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Wilder (Dave Franco) and McKinney (Woody Harrelson) in their magical stunts. We wish you well, Henley Reeves.
   
2. Jesse Eisenberg cuts hair. When we expected Lex Luthor to be bald in Batman v Superman, he comes clean in this sequel. Well, almost bald.
   
3. Lizzy Caplan playing Lula could have better acts than Reeves. I still like the bubbles act from the first movie though. But still this is just the trailer, there could be more magic to anticipate when we see the first movie.
   
4. A great team should have an epic squad photo like this one.
   
5. The most awaited arrival of a true-blood wizard, Harry Potter! errmm.. Daniel Radcliffe finally joins the cast as Walter but he has some magic boo-boos. Still a magical name, right Disney?
   
6. There'll be more street and spectacular magic and I can't wait.

Well in case you want to see the whole trailer, here it is. Returning in the movie are Mark Ruffallo as Dylan Rhodes; Michael Caine as the billionaire show producer Arthur Kressler, And joining in are Sanaa Lathan, Henry Lloyd-Hughes and Jay Chou. Now You See Me 2 opens in theaters June 2016.

Next summer, they’re back. Witness the all-new NOW YOU SEE ME 2 teaser trailer - Appearing in theaters 2016! #NYSM2

AMERICAN ULTRA movie review

Ayala Malls Cinemas exclusively bring us a new movie that will change us how we look at Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart. It detaches them from their previous roles in Zombieland and Bella Swann, and it is more exciting because you really have to watch out how they did their roles almost effortlessly.

American Ultra is another action movie with a touch of romance and comedy about a dumb spy reactivated to wipe all the soldiers who are set to bring him down. With his girlfriend (Stewart) playing to be unknown about all the things happening around them, he saves their asses off these agents and saves their relationship.

All you got to love in this action flick are the defending and killing skills. May it be CGI or not, the precision of the moves are quite perfect. It just looks unbelievable when Jesse Eisenberg's character is doing all the stuff. His innocent look and a little of a scaredy cat, the underdog makes a huge blow against the armed ones. You also can't imagine but Kristen Stewart did pretty well too. Being his girlfriend in the movie, the two did a realistic feel on a couple with conflicts but still manage to settle things down -- even at the middle of trouble. The two had this romantic-but-not-cheesy bond which gives all the realistic feels.

American Ultra is now showing only in Ayala Malls Cinemas. R13 for violence. Watch the trailer below:

American Ultra - Official Trailer
Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart star in this explosive action-adventure about a small-town slacker who discovers he's a sleeper agent targeted by CIA operatives.

RIO movie review

from the makers of ICE AGE, get festive with Carnaval in 2011's new animation, RIO! featuring the voices of Jesse Eisenberg as Blu and Anne Hathaway as Jewel.

a lot of issues were subliminally portrayed in 20th Century Fox's RIO. a survival of an endangered specie, illegal trade of animals and child labor. all issues go back to one single source, poverty. every aspect has been weaved to put on a story that will have a good fun impact on the audience but i hope it can also send the messages that i've seen. most of all, the action that should be done by the Brazilian government to address these problems.

Blu is the only blue macau left on the planet. he has come to Brazil to find his mate. and being an endangered bird with great value, they have been captured and supposed to be sold at trade. trying to escape, Blu's mate Jewel discovers that he cannot fly since he was domesticated for a long time. Blu has to overcome this dilemma to get back into sanctuary and propagate his specie. he comes to know different birds, and even befriending a bulldog. on the other side, whole of Rio de Janeiro is preparing for some fun in carnaval. everything gets twisted as his owner searches for him.

there's also candid appearance by current famous iPad game, Angry Birds. this time, they are in 3D. it is also great to see it on 3D.

i love the soundtrack with all that samba and festive music. this is one great musical with birds and colors. Jamie Foxx and Will.I.Am also did great for the voices of their characters that gave fun to the movie. not to mention the greatness of setting it in Brazil.

RIO will be showing on April 7 by 20th Century Fox.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK movie review

the origins of Facebook is traced in Columbia Pictures' highly-acclaimed movie of today's generation, THE SOCIAL NETWORK. starring Jesse Eisenberg as Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg; Justin Timberlake as Napster founder-turned-president, Sean Parker. the film is directed by David Fincher and is now showing in theaters nationwide.

the film is really interesting in this time today. you will be amazed on how it all started as a joke and great opportunity came. having a brain like Mark Zuckerberg's is a gold mine. not only hailed from Harvard, he just did what he likes -- up to the extent that he has to diss his ex-girlfriend. imagine blogging for longer hours which only took him to earn thousands of hits in just 4 hours! that's a very hard achievement for a site owner.

i admire the way that Mark Zuckerberg speaks. it may seem a little nerdy but we have to admit. we take a look at other people's social network profiles to sometimes take the negative out of them for us to throw something back at them when things don't go our way.


know how to speak like a Harvard student. it's kind of inspiring to go back to school again, minus the algorithmic language that Zuckerberg speaks. and from there, his friend Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) saw the opportunities in business.

we always see movies of law students in Harvard. here, we saw the application of law and how people can use their power, greed and even greater potentials. it served that we should be grateful of the education we are getting and should strive for it.

Justin Timberlake's breakthrough performance as Sean Parker is amazing. you will like him for his radical and creative business ideas but hate him for a being a user. but i would like to commend Mark Zuckerberg for making a good business decision of choosing Sean Parker as a partner-consultant. if it wouldn't for Parker, we will have a corny social network name and an ugly Facebook. these two have the violating ideas but they converted these ideas to money.

THE SOCIAL NETWORK is really a must-see. this is a mirror of our generation and makes an individual stronger. in ways that you cannot imagine, you can start kicking someone's a** and laugh at how they treated you. we can attest that karma is a b*tch.

ANDREW GARFIELD interview for THE SOCIAL NETWORK

Before he conquers the big screen as the new Spider-Man in 2012, young actor Andrew Garfield can be seen in Columbia Pictures' acclaimed drama “The Social Network,” the controversial film detailing the Harvard dorm room origins of social media megasite Facebook.

Garfield plays Eduardo Saverin, co-founder of Facebook with fellow Harvard undergrad Mark Zuckerberg. The two were former best friends but deviated as Facebook became immensely successful and eventually parted ways.

The actor-on-the-rise talks about “The Social Network” in the following interview:

Q: How tricky was it to portray Eduardo Saverin with the story of Facebook still being written?

Andrew Garfield: It's rare that a subject is tackled immediately after its conception, but we had a script and Aaron Sorkin [the screenwriter] researched the story very well. I find it very interesting that it was told from multiple perspectives and no one was portrayed right or wrong.

Q: Given director David Fincher’s exacting reputation, what was your experience of working on “The Social Network?”

Garfield: It was just the greatest, really. The amount of trust that you feel for him, that you can place all of your trust in him if you’re a fan of his work. Which I am, I’m a fan of all of his movies so I love his taste and I love the performances that he gets from people. You can let go in a scene, and you don’t have to worry about doing what you want to do because you know that whatever he’s got in mind is going to be better than what you want to do. He does do a lot of takes.

Q: The lore is that he often gets up in the 70s.

Garfield: Oh, yeah. Every time. But it’s the best, the most freeing filming experience I’ve had, and the most enjoyable filming experience I’ve ever had just because of the sheer freedom. And you leave everything there. You do the scene every single different way you could have ever done the scene. He just wants you to fuck up so that you become more alive in the moment. And we’re working on the Red cameras, it was digital, so he’ll just delete things if it doesn’t work.

It’s boring sometimes and it’s painful, but then what’s the point otherwise? I’m a total advocate of that. For young actors especially who are hungry to explore the craft of acting, and working with Aaron Sorkin’s words, and then having Fincher steering you and guiding the ship, we all kind of wanted to savor every moment.

Q: Did you get to spend much time with [co-star] Justin Timberlake?

Garfield: Yeah, such a good guy. At first I was very intimated because he has this iconic status. Which is such a weird thing for a human being to have. He’s just a good person, genuinely funny, engaging, warm, supportive. Very generous. That was one of the other great things, there was no competitiveness between any of the actors on the set.

Q: Really? I’m surprised. I would think that because of the nature of the story that that would actually help the dynamic onscreen.

Garfield: Yeah, David Fincher was pitting us against each other in the scenes. But outside of that, he cast a group of people that got on very well. Everyone felt very lucky to be there, so that permeated the feeling on set. But Justin was amazing, and great to work with, and I love Jesse Eisenberg so much.

Q: Did you guys get any time together off set? Go to ball games or anything?

Garfield: Yeah. We did. Me and Jesse, after Boston we were shooting in Baltimore for four days, and we spent Halloween in Baltimore on our own hanging around this awful shopping mall with a Hard Rock Café and a Cheesecake Factory and a Borders. And then we saw a Ravens game. We saw a Celtics game when we were in Boston, which was amazing. And Jesse got the green clover drawn on his face. He has all these different personality facets. He’s so smart and so funny and so cerebral and neurotic and vulnerable. But then very defensive and then kind of stupid and irreverent. But mostly funny, and can turn any situation into something Seinfeldian. He may differ with this because he’s a contrarian, but I feel like our relationship reflected the best friends thing during shooting. For me, anyway.
(Opening across the Philippines on Oct. 27, “The Social Network” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

follow JESSE EISENBERG in Facebook

Jesse Eisenberg has de-friended his inner Mr. Nice Guy.

After years playing sweet, earnest and awkward in movies such as “Adventureland” and “Zombieland,” the actor has shown a more sinister side with his ruthless portrayal of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the critically acclaimed “The Social Network” from Columbia Pictures.

Critical hosannas for the role may lead to an Oscar nomination, and the high-profile part is helping the boyish 27-year-old transition from "Hey, it's that guy" to a household name. But some signature halting nervousness comes into Eisenberg's voice when he talks about reactions he has gotten after screenings of the film.

"We do these question-and-answer sessions, and some people say, 'Why ... wha ... I was so turned off by your character. He was such a jerk. Why — why would you want to play this character?' " he says, repeating the stammering indignation. "There are these almost aggressive condemnations."

"The real other extreme is, 'I just wanted to give him a hug through the whole movie. I just felt so bad for him' — this is my mother talking," Eisenberg jokes. "But other people, too. 'The kid was so desperate to connect and just doesn't know how to. He's so lonely.' "

Even the visuals in the film try to underline that. Director "David Fincher practically composed the movie that way, with him behind panes of glass, in corners of rooms, framing him in a way that makes him look more isolated," Eisenberg says.

One personal reaction the actor hasn't received is from Zuckerberg himself, who did not cooperate with the filmmakers or meet Eisenberg prior to the shooting.

The script, by “West Wing” creator Aaron Sorkin, explores the fractured friendships and allegiances between Zuckerberg and a handful of fellow Harvard students who in 2004 helped create Facebook, now estimated to be worth $33 billion.

On “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” Zuckerberg dismissed the film with a smile: "The last six years have been a lot of coding and focus and hard work, but you know, maybe it would be fun to remember it as partying and all this crazy drama." Zuckerberg was on the show to discuss a $100 million donation to Newark's troubled school system, which took place on the day of the movie's premiere — something widely regarded as an effort to burnish the back-stabbing image depicted in the film.

Eisenberg is inclined to go easier on Zuckerberg. "What he did was so incredibly generous," the actor says. "To attribute it to anything else seems mean-spirited and cynical."

It may be the only time he goes easy on Zuckerberg. Though Eisenberg didn't set out to attack, he plays the young CEO-to-be as brilliant but revoltingly condescending and lacking even a modicum of tact.

That's before the story even gets rolling.
