The Echo movie review

just watched The Echo at SM Megamall Cinema 4 (thanks Az for the invite). even saw Sharon Cuneta, the Gutierrezes (the parents and Ruffa and Richard), Iza Calzado, Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal.

Bobby (Jesse Bradford) was tormented by sounds of domestic violence in an apartment where his mom used to stay when she was alive. he stayed there after he claims his parole.

at first he thought that it was all his imagination but a series of events made him think of actions of getting this problem solved. no one believed him at first until he discovers everything by himself. everyone knew about the crime that happened at the apartment but no one seemed to take action on it. his girlfriend almost died too.

the craft of Yam Laranas was really seen in this movie. you can distinguish it on how each scene is done. though the scare scenes may be predictable, The Echo is successful to give me goosebumps and hide myself from the nearing gore. Jesse Bradford really played well as Bobby and Iza Calzado matched his artistry.

maybe i have to watch Sigaw to compare it from this one.

The Echo hits theaters on Sept 30

Sigaw as it was originally known, Yam Laranas remakes it with a little of Hollywood touch as producer Roy Lee wanted him to do. then The Echo was born. Roy Lee was the person behind the other Asian horror remakes which include The Ring I, II & III (Ringu, 1998, Japan), The Grudge I, II & II (Ju-on, 2000, Japan), The Departed (Mou gaan dou [Infernal Affairs], 2002, Hong Kong), The Lake House (Siworae, 2002, Korea ) and Dark Water (Honogurai mizu no soko kara, 2002, Japan)

in this remake, Iza Calzado plays the victim who haunts Bobby, played by Jesse Bradford, who was staying in the apartment. other modifications in the film were the setting which was done in Manhattan and the reason of why Bobby stays in that apartment. in Sigaw, Bobby has just moved in and so hearing these sounds but never hesitated to leave because of pride. but in The Echo, Bobby is forced to stay because of his criminal record.

Yam Laranas has made this a lot better for all of us to see. The Echo will be showing in cinemas starting September 30.

Martin and Gary made music As 1

it's a Philippine music history as two rivals create music together in one stage. Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera who are often compared to each other shared the big concert grounds of SM Mall of Asia on September 19 2009. quite a number of spectators and music lovers of the two guys are able to witness this historical event.

the show ran for 3 hours and everybody's attendance is very much WORTH IT! the silver and bronze areas are still okay for they provided special projection and i think this will be the cuts that will be shown on TV.

my favorite part would be their quartet with Zsazsa Padilla and Martin's ex-wife, Pops Fernandez which gave me the goosebumps. though the 2 ladies weren't at the stage per se, they rehearsed a special LCD performance that looked like an MTV. a special tribute to great artists like Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra, the two had rearranged the songs merging the lyrics and style of both.

there's also a special appearance of their sons, Gab Valenciano and Ram Nievera giving a rock I Gotta Feeling by BEP.

with regards to Gary V's music, he never fails to give praises to God with his inspirational songs. Martin Nievera's signature sponsored songs was also performed. the two, of course, gave to our requests of capturing our hearts with songs like, Be My Lady and Warrior is A Child which are their top songs at each of everyone's minds. one segment brought everyone as they blasted everyone with the theme songs from the favorite kapamilya programs like Lobo, Sana Maulit Muli, Dahil May Isang Ikaw, Tayong Dalawa, Kahit Isang Saglit, and the latest movie, And I Love You So.

the concert ended with the As 1 song which has a special message significant for the upcoming elections.

Smart Bro's UAAP and NCAA dongles

the Smart Free B Day showcased the limited edition designs of the UAAP and NCAA participating schools which came available for less than the original price to Php 895 for that day only! this is to tap the limited budget of the students who happen to spend almost all their time to information. so they can now have internet wherever they want by just plugging in the Smart Bro dongle.

“Supporting school sports is one of our advocacies as these provide positive entertainment and promote healthy competition among the youth. Giving away the dongles is our reward to them, in line with Smart Bro’s goal of delivering Internet for all,” explained Smart marketing group head Annie P. Naval.

these designs were approved by the respective schools and they believe that it is just right to team-up with the number one broadband kit.


UAAP Dongles


NCAA Dongles

the mega event involved a lot of B's such as bail out jail booth, balloon darts, ball toss, back massages, burgers, beverages and other sponsors’ freebies—all beginning with the letter B. there are also special performances by Sandwich, Hale and Spongecola; it's truly reminiscent of the college fairs.

with a special press pass, i am now using the Smart Bro Kit (plain) and i say that it is really fast. i am so satisfied even with uploading videos.

i hope my college school, PUP, will also get a Smart Bro design and i was so glad that Ms. Annie Naval is open for this possibility.
