Tadaa! NYSM2 trailer is out and here's what I think of it

Finally the magical trailer of Now You See Me has been posted online and NYSM fans could be reacting happy or sad with the new movie. Here are my takes on the new trailer:

1. At least majority of the Four Horsemen are still present. Isla Fisher of course cannot join Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Wilder (Dave Franco) and McKinney (Woody Harrelson) in their magical stunts. We wish you well, Henley Reeves.
   
2. Jesse Eisenberg cuts hair. When we expected Lex Luthor to be bald in Batman v Superman, he comes clean in this sequel. Well, almost bald.
   
3. Lizzy Caplan playing Lula could have better acts than Reeves. I still like the bubbles act from the first movie though. But still this is just the trailer, there could be more magic to anticipate when we see the first movie.
   
4. A great team should have an epic squad photo like this one.
   
5. The most awaited arrival of a true-blood wizard, Harry Potter! errmm.. Daniel Radcliffe finally joins the cast as Walter but he has some magic boo-boos. Still a magical name, right Disney?
   
6. There'll be more street and spectacular magic and I can't wait.

Well in case you want to see the whole trailer, here it is. Returning in the movie are Mark Ruffallo as Dylan Rhodes; Michael Caine as the billionaire show producer Arthur Kressler, And joining in are Sanaa Lathan, Henry Lloyd-Hughes and Jay Chou. Now You See Me 2 opens in theaters June 2016.

Next summer, they’re back. Witness the all-new NOW YOU SEE ME 2 teaser trailer - Appearing in theaters 2016! #NYSM2

THE HUNTSMAN posters are here and they are fierce

Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron returns on another epic adventure in the sequel of Snow White and the Huntsman and they are now joined by two new characters, an Ice Queen and The Warrior. The Huntsman: Winter's War now focuses on the story how the Huntsman and Ravenna (Theron) are intertwined.

Universal Pictures reveal the characters that we will be seeing this April 2016.

Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain join the our leads in this legendary tale, directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan.

Long before the evil Queen Ravenna (Theron) was thought vanquished by Snow White’s blade, she watched silently as her sister, Freya (Blunt), suffered a heartbreaking betrayal and fled their kingdom. With Freya’s ability to freeze any enemy, the young ice queen has spent decades in a remote wintry palace raising a legion of deadly huntsmen—including Eric (Hemsworth) and warrior Sara (Chastain)—only to find that her prized two defied her one demand: Forever harden your hearts to love.

When Freya learns of her sister’s demise, she summons her remaining soldiers to bring the Magic Mirror home to the only sorceress left who can harness its power. But once she discovers Ravenna can be resurrected from its golden depths, the wicked sisters threaten this enchanted land with twice the darkest force it’s ever seen. Now, their amassing army shall prove undefeatable…unless the banished huntsmen who broke their queen’s cardinal rule can fight their way back to one another.

BY THE SEA movie review

You may think that Brangelina as the power couple of Hollywood but in BY THE SEA, you will see them as tearing apart. A sad movie for couples but at least By the Sea opens up the resolutions of relationship problems.

At first, you will love at the certain part of France where they shot the movie. The blue waters and tranquil surroundings will make you want to jump out of your seats and dive in it. Not to mention that you already got Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie just around the corner looking at you swim which is just like pure heaven for the fans. Then this very solemn and quiet vacation spot would make it in my bucket list as one of the places where I wanted to go.

In a bit, I got a bit concerned and pity to Brad Pitt's character. You will feel his sorrows with his wife, trying to hide that your relationship is tearing apart, and displaying to everyone being strong and happy. But little actions speak a lot of stories that's why he is noticed by one of his friends.

For a time, I disliked Angelina Jolie. Her character of slowly letting go of her husband for her some desires should not be served as a good example. But then I liked it how they've explained why she came to that point and strongly applauded Brad's character for keeping it intact with his wife. In short, you'll love Brad more here than Angelina. But the magical factor of these A-listers still don't overshadow the storyline that By The Sea aims to give to us.

This romance drama drew a thin line between fiction and reality and should really be seen by couples who are in the edge of breaking up. BY THE SEA is exclusively seen in Ayala Malls Cinemas starting November 18.

SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE movie review

If you're still into that Halloween mood and more if you're a zombie flick fan, here's another movie that will not scare you but will gross you out up to your funny bone. SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE is kind of another teen flick with the brain-eating twist.

Who knows that being a scout for life can come in handy during a zombie wave? Scout trio, Tye Sheridan (Ben); Logan Miller (Carter), and Joseph Morgan (Augie) comprise a perfect combo for survival. A leader, a funny guy and a die-hard scout makes a good formula for the group. Adding the love interest (Halston Sage) and a hot bad-ass sidekick (Sarah Dumont), what more can you ask for? In this movie, we will be served with life hacks only a true scout will know.

The movie is a great laugh. Catching the suspense more than that of Zombieland, "Scouts" gave it a younger feeling, good for a teen flick but contains mature materials that are very appealing to adults.

SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE is Rated R-16 Without Cuts and opens across the Philippines on Nov 11. See the trailer below:

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS teases with trailer

Alice returns to Underland for a new mission. Now to save the Mad Hatter and Underland from destruction of time. "Alice Through the Looking Glass" is the sequel to the Tim Burton and Disney hit, Alice in Wonderland, which features our beloved Wonderland characters. The movie is set for release in summer 2016 (May 27).

“Alice Through the Looking Glass” reunites the all-star cast from the worldwide blockbuster phenomenon, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.

Alice Kingsleigh (Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out. See the trailer below:
