The adventure is real, the heroes are not. Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum are in an epic adventure that's gone too real in the movie, The Lost City, which will be in Philippine theaters this 2022.
In the trailer, Brilliant, but reclusive author Loretta Sage (Sandra Bullock) has spent her career writing about exotic places in her popular romance-adventure novels featuring handsome cover model Alan (Channing Tatum), who has dedicated his life to embodying the hero character, “Dash.” While on tour promoting her new book with Alan, Loretta is kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire (Daniel Radcliffe) who hopes that she can lead him to the ancient lost city’s treasure from her latest story. Wanting to prove that he can be a hero in real life and not just on the pages of her books, Alan sets off to rescue her. Thrust into an epic jungle adventure, the unlikely pair will need to work together to survive the elements and find the ancient treasure before it’s lost forever. Watch it here:
The cast is led by Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Oscar Nuñez, Patti Harrison, Bowen Yang.
The Lost City is distributed in the Philippines by Paramount Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
This Sandra Bullock-Billy Bob Thornton movie is not just appropriate for the ongoing political campaign period in the Philippines but it teaches us some lessons in marketing, advertising and PR. This movie opens January 13, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures (Philippines).
Political strategist, Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), gets back in the electoral race to campaign to regain public trust in the Bolivian presidential candidate. Learning to compete with a familiar person from another election, Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton), and "Calamity Jane" gets the fire going -- it's what they call her for laying down the winning campaign for her client.
As I've said, it's not just a task of winning an election, but we can see different aspects of marketing a brand and all other propaganda that might go with it; matching with a humorous approach that gives a satirical perspective in the political setting. The title already suggests that the discussion is about marketing a brand.
I admire Sandra's character in developing the message on creating a likable image for her brand (the candidate) and how she goes around with it. For me, it would be very difficult to think like her without knowing all the backgrounds and shits of the client and all the people that move around him. It is, for a campaign manager, necessary to be knowledgeable of many things and be able to weave in these information to the character of the client that you want to achieve.
There are three kinds of people of the real world that you will see in OUR BRAND IS CRISIS: Jane Bodine, the skeptical but able to manage the task even if she doesn't like who she is doing it for because she is paid. Pat Candy, on the other hand, would be the person who doesn't believe in you and will bury you all the horror of the past trying to consume you and win you over. Your task is to compete with you until you fall again. And the candidate, that will sometimes believe and oppose you because he/she hired you (of course, that's not the case every time, right?). This brand will give you promises and wins your trust but you will never know what the real deal may be when he already won your heart.
OUR BRAND IS CRISIS exposes the relation of the client and the agencies pitching for an idea to gain public trust. It's a very good case study to discuss among advertising and PR schools.
if somebody wishes to get to space, he has to think again. i wanted to until i watched GRAVITY by Warner Bros. Sandra Bullock as astronaut Ryan Stone and George Clooney as space engineer Matt Kowalski, stranded in space after their spacecraft was destroyed by debris.
i was leaning hardly at the back of my seat whenever there would be unfortunate events to attack Ryan. i was also holding the arm rests as i am scared of what's next to happen. the movie is scarier than horror movies themselves because you are almost helpless in space. it's closer to reality, if i may add. the comic relief is Kowalski trying to charm our astronaut in his good looks and calming her at the situation.
at the verge of life and death situations, it's still best to keep calm and be resourceful. it's a thing that i have learned in this movie. there will be many things that could go through your head and it will make you want to come home. i mean, it's just what we always want, right?
with minimal cast and very good execution, i can say that this movie is 5/5. the artistic floating and intense scenes that they have, i got all hooked in her adventure outer space. catch it on IMax and you'll have a slight feel of what's in store out there.
when two agents clash on their operation tactics to take on a drug syndicate, you can imagine how some actions will be chaotic. but for FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock), her immersion in the ghetto with a local officer, Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), would be the most successful and respectable tandem ever.
in THE HEAT, FBI Agent Sarah Ashburn and Boston police officer Mullins are two women that were ridiculed by their own offices but were very efficient in their own fields. the uniformed Ashburn meets the commonality of Mullins in the Boston neighborhood which Ashburn finds difficult to blend in. Ashburn sees how Mullins take on cases until a very sensitive instance has to be dealt by her ways. her strategies and tactics takes on justice but careful to compromise the new-found friendship.
Sandra Bullock (Ashburn) and Melissa McCarthy (Mullins)
THE HEAT is indeed a very funny movie and funnier after you see the trailer. Melissa McCarthy is the person to watch out for punch lines and i think brought the light on this flick. expect a lot of bad-mouthing and gruesome gestures attacking people and on Sandra Bullock that makes you leap from your seat. be sure that you don't bring your kids under 13 as rated. but the servings of punch lines are very much enjoyable. i bet many people would use them in their everyday lives.
reading some online reviews agree to my sentiments on the movie Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. starring Thomas Horn (Oskar Schell), Sandra Bullock (Linda Schell) and Tom Hanks (Thomas Schell) who are based in New York in the time of a terrorist attack.
the movie is adapted from a novel by Jonathan Safran Foer of the same title about a kid who is in search of reconnection to his deceased father. the idea was to solve the mystery of a key he found in the closet of his father. this took his time to search for clues that will make sense of the key. i've noticed that rather than he goes to school everyday, he had developed his ability to lie to the adults around him. parents, don't tolerate this attitude from your kids. in fact, at the time he was really really mad at his mother, i was waiting for Sandra Bullock to give him 2 slaps in the face. the very annoying character failed to get the sympathy from the audience but increased my hate for Oskar. his name is perfect for him -- Oskar the grouch.
what to like in this movie? you have Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, two Academy Award-winning actors who played the parents of Oskar who were very supportive to their kid. you will also be travelling across New York with clues also rising your interest on how he will be able to solve the mystery of the key. well, Oskar may be very diligent and intelligent at the same time, but i just can't stand how he'd speak to adults like that.
catch Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, an Oscar-nominated movie that will be screened in the Philippines starting February 29 2012. brought to us by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Entertainment company.
