SENIOR YEAR movie review

most of us have went through the toughest times in high school. but we all also admit that even though we have the most difficult endeavors with the teachers and even classmates, we can say that we enjoyed that period in our lives.

that's what we can see in SENIOR YEAR - a movie by Jerrold Tarog. it features students in co-ed institution that undergo certain circumstances as an individual. in life, we experience pressure, encounter gossips, bullied, rotting relationships, love and sometimes, confusion. but as we are struggling, we find people who are there to support us, that know how to get out of it, resolve it and move on.

in every aspect, there is a certain attack and will make you realize that you've been in that part. you can certainly relate to what these children portray. actually, the acting is seamless and effortless. sometimes i see myself in the shoes of these kids. and then i realize that i survived high school and i laugh at the instances that i can relate to.

and 10 years after our graduation in high school, i am excited of how people come about with their lives. reunion might be not to far and there are a lot of things happened after that time.

the cast is composed of the students of a school in Alabang with the participation of professional actors like RJ Ledesma, Dimples Romana, LJ Reyes, Arnold Reyes, Che Ramos and Ina Feleo.

SENIOR YEAR starts screening in SM Cinemas nationwide on March 9. and teachers and students who will watch the movie can get a discount. just present your SCHOOL ID and pay only Php 100 in entrance.

love that sparked a war in Orosman at Zafira

hailed from Francisco Baltazar's epic love story, Bit by Bit Productions brings Dulaang UP's Orosman at Zafira in the SM Mall of Asia Centerstage starting from February 4 to 26.

Orosman at Zafira tells the story of three kingdoms, Marueccos, Tedenst and Duquela. in two individuals who found love, war have sparked between all the kingdoms which resulted to massacre and destruction. this also pictures the strength of a Filipina accompanied by great dances, amazing stunts and emotional lyrics from the writer's sorrowful love story.

a previous production is part of Dulaang UP's 35th anniversary. i saw it's run at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater in UP Diliman with a powerhouse cast including Jay Gonzaga (Orosman), Maita Ponce, Delphine Buencamino, Tao Aves, Roeder Camanag, Red Concepcion, Kevin Concepcion, Acey Aguilar, Jacinta Remulla, Jean Judith Javier, Natasha Cabrera, Neil Tolentino, Nazer Salcedo, Ronnie Martinez and the Dulaang UP Ensemble. it's nice that Bit by Bit Productions enhanced the show in a bigger theater. i wonder how will they interpret it in a more powerful manner.

the show from UP is breath-taking. though it is delivered in a very poetic way, visuals are very amazing. i also like to commend on Tuxqs Rutaquio's stage design for it was very simple and functional. you have to watch the war scene from the three kingdoms because it puts out the anger which you should have imagined reading the poem. this will be directed by Dexter Santos.


this is a perfect February date with your partner in the season of love. you may already get your tickets and have another way of spending Valentines - in a cultural way.

Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant Qora (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

I've tried WINEMA first -- the SM Winema experience

i never had this much fun inside the theater. aside from viewing the trailers of upcoming movies this summer, SM Digital Cinema introduces a first in entertainment: the WINEMA!

WINEMA stands for WE INTERACT WITH THE CINEMA and it gave it's first shot with the media people during it's launch at SM Digital Cinema in SM Megamall. the whole theater turned into an arcade type gaming area and the participants are everybody!

the WINEMA plays two games, BOINK OUT and POWER CATCHER where people movements are captured be a camera in front of them. the movement controls the cursor or character in the screen. each game runs for 3 minutes so wave your hands up high and have fun.

here's the catch, if you beat the highest score made by the previous audience, each moviegoer will get a prize!

WINEMA has a lot of opportunities for advertising. i think you can put a banner of your brand or better to maximize your exposure by creating your own WINEMA game!



WINEMA is initially available at SM MEGAMALL DIGITAL CINEMA 1 and soon will open to other branches.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL resounds in the big screen

Walt Disney is bringing us an animated adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol. Jim Carrey stars as the grumpy, old and with no Christmas-spirit, Ebenezer Scrooge -- haunted by three Christmas spirits: Past, Present and Yet to Come.

as the story goes, Ebenezer never celebrated Christmas for he only knows what he wants -- to gain fortune. he worked hard to achieve it and forgotten the time of the year when everyone is merry, regardless of their status in life. he lived this life along with his partner, Marley, who died by the opening of the story. seven Christmas Eves later, the three spirits visited him and showed him his past Christmas experiences, what was happening on the day he lives, and what would happen after.

of course Scrooge was scared the time the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come showed him the series of events happening in the future. this he realized that no one truly cared about him and the bad effects which he should have helped during the time he lived. he changed his behavior when he woke up and lived a happy, festive Christmas time.

Robert Zemeckis did an excellent job doing the movie. but you watch the movie as it is, it might not be appreciated by children in general. the deep sense of the story might leave children asking how and why. the story is a little bit on a very serious tone.

the movie can also be seen in 3D IMAX theaters. if you want to catch it, it will be showing on December 2.

ganun pala sa IMAX

yesterday i had the chance to watch the premiere of Monsters vs. Aliens at the IMAX theater. thanks to Yehey who gave us tickets for this event for free.

i went off early from the office to catch the cocktails before the movie screening. i was with sire, leira, montsch and aeirin acosta, earth, jenn and jeff aspacio, az, sarah, joriben, chris and trix. those who haven't got into my list, dko pa kasi kayo kilala masyado. hehe... basta event kayang isacrifice ang trabaho. lol

so back to the IMAX experience, upon entrance, kelangan talagang isurrender ang mga camera phones at iba pang devices na pwedeng mag-capture ng images inside the cinema. para iwas pirata na rin. and you will also be given a pair of 3D glasses para lalo mong ma-appreciate ang movie in 3D.

maganda ang loob pero 2 lang ang aisles, yung nasa gilid lang. so kapag pupunta ka sa upuan mo e marami kang madadaanan bago ka makarating. be sure to pee before the show to avoid hassle.

the chairs are soft and cozy. kahit gustuhin mong maglean pa e komportable ka pa rin dahil may space pa para sa tao sa likod mo na mag-unat-unat.

when the movie started, ibang dimension talaga! pero kung medyo malapit ka sa screen, sasakit mata mo. halos maluha talaga ako hindi dahil sa kakatawa sa movie pero sa sobrang lapit ko sa screen. but everything is fine and i enjoyed the movie.
