Consider Downsizing as your new economic option


Think about having all the world's resources in a bigger scale.
Science is inevitable to make new things and alterations in the natural world and Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig is out to discover it in the new comedy, DOWNSIZING. Opens in theaters, January 2018.

Downsizing imagines what might happen if, as a solution to over-population, Norwegian scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall and propose a 200-year global transition from big to small. People soon realize how much further money goes in a miniaturized world, and with the promise of a better life, everyman Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in Omaha in order to get small and move to a new downsized community — a choice that triggers life-changing adventures. See the trailer below:
Directed by Alexander Payne from a screenplay by Payne and Jim Taylor, Downsizing stars Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig.

THE GREAT WALL movie review

One of the legends about the Great Wall of China is it served as protection of the Chinese from conquering tribes and nations. Little we know that there are a lot of legends about the Great Wall and Matt Damon presented one of the epics that is believed to have spared the Chinese nation from alien creatures. Now showing in cinemas.
You will be delighted with the production value on creating a large Chinese equipped with impressive warfare and amazing tactical moves. In this case, there is equality among the citizens. Men and women fight against enemies alike using their acquired skills in training. Even the next general was a woman when no man questioned her capabilities. However, I think a dialogue speaking about honor or pledging over their lives is a very Japanese thing.
I think that it's better to watch this on 3D when the graphics are really okay and for you to appreciate the details on each of the cut. Costumes, props and even the sets are very detailed. There are just some things that you might not imagine if the movie is set more than thousands of years ago and for a war setting that uses modern technology to fight.

Anyway, it not a waste of time to watch The Great Wall. In fact, it's very amusing to see. You will be amazed with the Chinese, really, with all the fighting stuff going on. Some of the things are discoveries and expedition-related - by the way, Matt Damon is a Western soldier who continued the search for black powder and ended up in the monster-threatened China.

sneak peek: HEREAFTER

Take a first-look at the theatrical poster of Warner Bros.’ upcoming psychological thriller “Hereafter.”

The film stars Oscar® winner Matt Damon (“Good Will Hunting,” “Invictus”) and is directed by Academy Award® winner Clint Eastwood (“Million Dollar Baby,” “Unforgiven”) from a screenplay by two time Oscar® nominee Peter Morgan (“Frost/Nixon,” “The Queen”).

“Hereafter” tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cécile de France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. 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.

The film also stars award-winning Belgian actress Cécile de France (“A Secret”) as Marie, and twins Frankie and George McLaren. The international cast also includes Jay Mohr (“Street Kings,” TV’s “Gary Unmarried”), Bryce Dallas Howard (“Eclipse,” “Spider-Man 3”), Marthe Keller, Thierry Neuvic and Derek Jacobi.

“Hereafter” is produced by Eastwood, multiple Oscar®-nominated producer Kathleen Kennedy (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Munich,” “E.T.”) and two-time Oscar® nominee Robert Lorenz (“Letters from Iwo Jima,” “Mystic River”). Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore served as executive producers.

Behind the scenes, Eastwood reunited with his longtime collaborators, including director of photography Tom Stern, production designer James J. Murakami, editors Joel Cox and Gary D. Roach, and costume designer Deborah Hopper.


“Hereafter” was filmed entirely on location in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco.

Opening soon across the Philippines, “Hereafter” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
