Scary stories in Boracay

It was a chilling night in Boracay and it was way memorable as I had the first cinema experience in Boracay. Everybody is in Halloween mood and what better way to spend it is to have scary stuff playing on the big screen. I definitely did not miss this experience as my friend MJ who works for Megaworld invited me to watch horror movies inside Boracay Newcoast.

The first outdoor cinema experience in Boracay was held at Oceanway at Boracay Newcoast just for 2 nights on Halloween weekend. It was held outdoors so you get to feel the chills and deep quietness that side of Boracay. But to tone the goosebumps down, we were served with refreshments and hotdog bites and popcorn. We watched Paranormal Activity 4 which I haven't watched yet so it really raised the creeps out of me. Dubbed as "Movie Tricks, Our Treat" by the Boracay Newcoast, it also featured scariest horror flicks like Train to Busan, The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2 and The Ring. Movie passes are available at Boracay Sandcastles and screening starts as early as 4pm.

Boracay Newcoast is the biggest tourism estate development by Megaworld's Global Estate Resorts, Inc. inspired by the best beach neighborhoods. Titled lots and world-inspired hotels make it good for the investing community. One of its components is the Shophouse District that have residential and commercial components. Transporting us from the usual island-living to a whole different way of life where people can get to shop on the lower floors and relax at the comfort of their homes at the higher levels -- just like living in Key West in Florida or Old Town in Ibiza.

CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: Worlds Away movie review

James Cameron brings a wonderful visual masterpiece featuring the world's favorite acrobatic act in Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away. on March 6, 2013, capture the heart-pumping stunts and the magic of love in this wonderful movie.
the story is about Mia, a young woman who finds herself in a circus and entranced by an aerialist. an almost unfortunate event had separated them, the two were drawn into the magical world of Cirque du Soleil. in two tent worlds, the two witness different acts of Cirque du Soleil and their journey had drawn them back together.
as the movie is a visual masterpiece, you still wanted to see the real thing. the live show of acrobats are definitely more tasteful and exciting. as the movie was shot in a very dark studio, colors have appeared brighter and clearer. but knowing for James Cameron and his success for Avatar, the movie can stand in 2D rather than seeing it in 3D. i just hope they had treated it more with their movie magic. i think i miss some special effects.
Megaworld Lifestyle Malls brings this movie into their theaters exclusively starting March 6. check Lucky Chinatown, Newport Cinemas and Eastwood Cinemas.

ANNA KARENINA movie review

from the classic novel from Leo Tolstoy, ANNA KARENINA is set in the late 19th century of the Russian high-society.
this film presents the social life of the aristocrat Anna Karenina (Keira Knightley), a beautiful young woman who had an affair with an affluent Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). despite her good life with a much older husband, Aleksei Karenin (Jude Law), her choice of loving Vronsky raises, of course, negative perceptions among the people surrounding them. gossips and ridicules have covered the once perfect life of Anna and her husband. but despite this, Aleksei remained true to his love and "took her back" by adopting the child she bore with Vronsky.
the classic was well presented in the a new manner that i've never seen before but well loved it. the movie starts in a theater stage and this stage converts into different dimensions and scenes to present the story. i think everybody will agree that this is very artistically done. and the actors were well cast, i just don't know how to feel about with Aaron Taylor-Johnson. direction and costumes are great. i just have to reiterate about the production value that they had raised over this.

opening February 20 in Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, Lucky Chinatown, Eastwood and Newport Cinemas, ANNA KARENINA is distributed by Solar Entertainment.
