the men of THE TOWN
Award-winning actors Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) and Jon Hamm (TV’s Mad Men) play cop-and-robber literally, in Warner Bros. The Town, an action-thriller about friendship and betrayal, love and hope, and escaping a past that has no future.In the film, Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck) is an unrepentant criminal, the de facto leader of a group of ruthless bank robbers who pride themselves in stealing what they want and getting out clean. With no real attachments, Doug never has to fear losing anyone close to him. But that all changed on the gang’s latest job, when they briefly took a hostage–bank manager, Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall).
Renner plays Jem, Doug’s closest friend and a kind of brother-in-arms, albeit on the wrong side of the law. Unlike Doug, Jem is resigned to the life he was essentially born to and has no compunctions about his criminal pursuits.
Renner observes, “Given their upbringing, Jem and Doug had to lean on each other throughout their lives, so they are definitely more like brothers than friends. But now Doug is veering away from the only life Jem has ever known and Jem is trying to reel him back in, to knock some sense into him, as if to say, ‘We’re bank robbers. That’s what we do; that’s all we are.’ The conflict between them lies within that.”
“Doug and Jem have a complicated back story,” comments Affleck, who also served as the film’s director. “They’ve been best friends since they were kids, but they have become very different people…people who would not be friends if they met today. However, because they have this shared history of loyalty and love they are bound to each other, and that puts a lot of pressure on Doug. Jem is always on the verge of being out of control, and Doug is the only one who has been able to make sure he doesn’t go too far.”
Renner and Hamm
Meanwhile, Hamm portrays FBI Special Agent Frawley, who heads up a task force investigating bank robberies in Boston. “He is an outsider,” Hamm acknowledges. “But although he is not from Boston, he has a lot of experience with these types of crimes and has been there awhile, so he knows all the players.”
This latest string of robberies is frustrating Frawley because he knows who the perpetrators are, but still hasn’t been able to nail them. “It creates an interesting dynamic between my character and Ben’s character,” Hamm says. “A fundamental element of a good heist movie is the interplay between the good guys and the bad guys. Who’s going to win? But here, the line between the good guys and the bad guys is less defined because you can empathize with both.”
“I’m a huge fan of Jon’s, so I felt really lucky to have him in the cast,” states Affleck. “When I met with the real FBI agents, I noticed that they projected a certain kind of power and intelligence, and Jon conveyed that. He’s acutely smart and there is something about him that innately commands respect. It would be hard to imagine an actor who was more right for this role.”Opening soon across the Philippines, The Town is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

THE OTHER GUYS sneak peek
Columbia Pictures presents an all-star cast led by Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Eva Mendes, Ray Stevenson, Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson, in the action-comedy The Other Guys.
In the U.S. No. 1 hit, detectives Christopher Danson and P.K. Highsmith (Johnson and Jackson) are the baddest and most beloved cops around. They don’t get tattoos – other men get tattoos of them. Two desks over and one back, sit Detectives Allen Gamble (Ferrell) and Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg). You’ve seen them in the background of photos of Danson and Highsmith, out of focus and eyes closed. They’re not heroes – they’re "the Other Guys."
But every cop has his or her day and soon Gamble and Hoitz stumble into a seemingly innocuous case no other detective wants to touch that could turn into the city’s biggest crime. It’s the opportunity of their lives, but do these guys have the right stuff?

Director Adam McKay says that his challenge for this film was to keep the set as open and free to experimentation as he could, while also keeping it grounded enough that the action sequences made sense. "Obviously, we like to do silly, absurd things," says McKay. “The Other Guys is an action comedy, and I think it’s just as funny as the movies we’ve made in the past. But it’s also a bit more badass – we really tried to come up with action scenes we hadn’t seen before, and I think we came up with some fantastic stuff."

the gift that is XANADU - review
Atlantis Productions is staging XANADU - the Broadway musical hit that was based on Universal Pictures' film of the same title - with a comedy musical twist.
XANADU is the best gift in which Zeus grants to the demigods giving them glory. most gods and demigods wants Xanadu and that's why Clio (Rachel Alejandro), a muse, wished to get to earth to help mankind. but was forbidden of some things -- she never would disclose her identity as a demigod and never fall in love with a mortal.
on earth, she meets Sonny Malone (Felix Rivera) who is an artist and filled with dreams. Clio is willing to inspire him disguised as Kira, an Australian. but her jealous evil sisters, Melpomene and Calliope (Chari Arespacochaga and Yael Pineda) tried to cast a spell on Clio so that she'll be banished from Mount Olympus forever.
as Sonny Malone and Kira get to know each other, they are struck by love. Calliope and Melpomene's spell "worked" so they demanded Zeus (Noel Trinidad) to cast Clio into eternal damnation. Sonny Malone went to the rescue at Mt. Olympus and then Clio admitted everything -- even her love to him which has been true. when Zeus realized that it is true, he granted Clio the Xanadu gift.
laugh your hearts out to this musical comedy. it is a magical journey from Mt. Olympus to Venice Beach, California is unforgettable. as 1980 and Clash of the Titans merge in this production, there will be a lot of imagination. demigods are once people too, you may think.
you might actually be watching a live sitcom when you see Xanadu. the staging is great and audience would get participation too which is one of the funny parts. the musical is indeed wild and funny. you wouldn't want to miss a scene.
my favorite scene is when they sang "Suddenly." for a romantic song, Felix and Rachel knew to bring people to laugh. Rachel Alejandro is great modulating her voice.
Xanadu the musical by Atlantis Productions starts playing on September 3 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium at the RCBC Plaza. see ticket information here.
