Sing along with The Greatest Showman in SM Cinemas

I am a fan of The Greatest Showman for many three main reasons: THEATRICAL, MUSICAL, and HUGH JACKMAN. But when I saw it, I instantly also became a fan of the songs and especially Keala Settle belting out This is Me. I happen to be streaming the soundtrack featuring songs by Academy Award winning lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul since and I couldn't miss a day without studying and memorizing the lyrics.

But fortunately, we can now all sing with Hugh Jackman, Zack Efron, Zendaya, Keala Settle while watching The Greatest Showman as SM Cinemas bring the sing-along version of the movie starting February 7 in select theaters. Follow the bouncing top hat for every hit song with intricate visuals and dance choreography following the rags to riches life of PT Barnum, the greatest showman and founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, and the beginning of show business.

The Greatest Showman also features Michelle Williams and her emotional Tightrope song and Rebecca Ferguson's Never Enough, sung by Loren Allred. Be inspired and Rewrite the Stars with Zac Efron and Zendaya.

Listen to the official soundtrack and see you at the movies!

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN movie review

I expected a theatrical extravaganza in The Greatest Showman and it did not disappoint. Visually appealing and with a strong message of equality it conveys, The Greatest Showman is a must-watch for all -- for a good time, for a dose of musical theater, or something to ponder on.

The inspiration of the movie is a not unfamiliar with all of us. How a visionary made his dreams happen to be able to give a good life to people he loves and P.T. Barnum is an inspiration with his dedication in fulfilling his dreams and how he is as a father and husband, an artist and a businessman. No doubt Hugh Jackman fits perfectly for the role just as he puts on his red coat and top hat.

Songs are very heartfelt as if the cast gives every song message directly to you. The Greatest Show to start with prepared you for a fantastic show indeed. A whole line up of songs goes with the story line very well from start to finish. Never Enough is emotionally-triggering and a very strong This is Me gives high encouragement that you will bring until you go home. This Is Me deserves its Globe award and Oscar nod.

I also applaud the spectacular choreography of our unique characters displayed. Rewrite the Stars is a great sequence if we can see it live but you will enjoy most of the movie.

THE LUCKY ONE movie review

from the author of The Notebook, Dear John and more romance novels, Nicholas Sparks, comes another inspiring movie that may save someone's life. The Lucky One, presented by Warner Bros. Pictures opens here in the Philippines on April 19, 2012.

a former war hero, US Marine Sgt. Logan Thibault, (Zac Efron) gets fortunate escaping death while finding a photo in the middle of nowhere where it has drove him out of an accident. then after his duty and coming back to the United States, he searches for the woman on the photo and hoping to thank her. and so as he founds Beth (Taylor Schilling), he couldn't say the words and even so, he fell in love with her. Beth happens to be involved with someone and bore a child whom Logan didn't have a hard time connecting with the family except from the former husband, Keith (Jay Ferguson).

along the way, he struggles in his secret hiding how he was able to come to Beth. but after all, he enjoys the company and as a marine duty, he protects his lucky charm. dealing with Keith was not easy but as accustomed to soldiers, he also protects citizens like him but he wasn't able to do it able a dreadful accident.

in the movie, you will see how soldiers find it hard to adjust from war to a citizen life. it should be well understood that we should take care of them in return. on the other hand, love story is pretty predictable. boy finds girl, girl clueless about the boy suddenly falls in love. then secrets will be revealed, etc. there are also no remarkable lines like we were used to from other Nicholas Sparks movies. Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling may have missed the chemistry factor teaming up in this movie. the steam is somehow funny rather than hot.

watch The Lucky One from Warner Bros. Pictures. starring Zac Efron and Taylor Schilling as Logan and Beth starting April 19 2012 in Philippine theaters.
