ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED movie review

you got 6 chipmunk superstars on board a cruise ship. trust is a good issue for Dave Seville and he didn't feel the biggest danger that might happen to the mischievous creatures in Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked!

Alvin has brought all the other singing chipmunks, Simon, Theodore, Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor into nowhere after accdidentally gliding in a kite to an unknown island. lucky they have Dave Seville who acts as their father who insistently searched for them. but as they are trapped in that lone island, their "urbanized" cultures where slightly transformed into their natural instincts. it's fight for survival for the six animals until they have discovered that they are not alone. more adventures are in store for them as they wander in the island.

with the very unfortunate incident, there have been a few but major changes in our characters. an epiphany to Alvin who was before the famous one become the responsible one. anyhow, Eleanor and Theodore are still the cutest of the chipmunks.

trailers have revealed some songs used but i didn't expect that they'll use Survivor by Destiny's Child. i was thinking about it and it was justified. also, more i think 2 of Lady Gaga songs were interpreted here in the movie. even a mash-up by 3 other songs by Katy Perry.

see the full trailer of ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: CHIPWRECKED! after the jump.

thank you to 20th Century Fox for bringing again our cutest creatures in the theaters, starting January 8, 2012 in the Philippines.

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS movie review

the tandem of Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law returns to the big screen in the new adaptation of the world-famous detective in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, opening on January 8, 2011 in Philippine theaters.
a new adventure await our tandem preventing a heinous crime plotted by a great professor, James Moriarty (James Harris). perfect timing for Watson's wedding, Holmes drags him to stop this incident and save quite a wide number of the human race.

Sherlock Holmes got new strategies and tactics, maintaining his humorous approaches -- and that's what Watson really like about him, intelligent, consistent and spontaneous, making him his best man for the wedding.

there are a lot of new interesting things in this movie. it's cleaner, a few new tricks used and cooler slow-motions scenes are projected in the second installment. crisp visuals like blasts and chipping wood give us a sense of great danger as you draw yourself into the movie. i also liked the computer generated graphics and it is exciting as the first one but with more unexpected twists. you will be guaranteed with a next sequel.

below is the trailer of SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS opening in theaters January 8 2012 in the Philippines. brought to us by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Entertainment Company.

UP CLOSE with ENTENG KABISOTE and new family

I was really starstruck when I got the chance to see Bossing Vic Sotto up close during an intimate conference. As expected, he will wave to his fans, and give a comic regard to our jolly presence. Our anticipation for "Bossing" tested our patience and thank God he didn't disappoint us. He was like a father to us all, but for most ladies, his image as a "ladies' man" empowered some bloggers to take the opportunity to capture the moment through photos with him.

Vic Sotto stars in the new Enteng franchise as entry for the Metro Manila Film Festival coming Christmas Day at theaters nationwide. But now, it became much bigger with collaboration for another big hit during the MMFF, AiAi delas Alas' Tanging Ina. Thus, the new movie, "Enteng ng Ina Mo."

So why merge two big movies in one? To make it bigger, of course. Enteng Kabisote's and Ina Montecillo's chaotic families are open to unexpected possibilities bringing us more fun and exciting adventures plus the comedic factor.

In this movie, both Enteng and Ina will immerse in each others' worlds. Ina will come to the fantasy world of Enteng and the latter to take a break from Engkantasya and embrace reality. When their worlds collide, many unexpected things may happen.

Director Tony Y. Reyes gives his treatment in the movie after seeing the other Tanging Ina prequels. With due respect to Tanging Ina director Wenn Deramas, this is a total different output with no help from Direk Wenn.

Would this movie get a part 2? We hope so! I got the chance to ask Director Tony Reyes about pushing 3D production for better and full magic. But that will require higher cost and longer production time so we'll have to know what Bossing will say.

On December 25, bring your family and friends to the theaters and enjoy Enteng ng Ina Mo. This is Star Cinema and MZET Film's official entry to the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival.

TOM CRUISE accepts MISSION in GHOST PROTOCOL

Tom Cruise, now with only a limited number of team of the IMF, seeks to protect a nation from a destruction caused by nuclear warfare in the fourth installment of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. it will be screens in the Philippines starting December 15 2011 and also available in IMAX format.

before anything happened, the Kremlin in Moscow was bombed down and all was blamed to the IMF in which the agents are connected. and this is the mission that Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) has to solve.

Mission Impossible trademark activities are still present in this movie. wall climbing, and now at the famous Dubai tower; first-class disguise using rubberized masks; never-before-seen gadgets and other incredible things in the movie. but the most exciting part for me is how he climbed the building in Dubai.

the film is highly-technical and they use terms suited for an agent. it can be understood as simple terms but if you are fans of detective movies or series, you can easily adapt to it. what i also like about MI4 is that each story is independent of the other. each of the cast has his/her limelight to project so you'll get a glimpse of who does things.

lucky for the Filipinos who will be able to see the movie 1 week before it's US release. catch it December 15 in your favorite theaters.

GLOBE and OWWA for World's Largest Kris Kringle!

calling all OFWs and their families! join the Globe Kababayan and OWWA's attempt for the Guinness World Record of Largest Kris Kringle happening on December 18, 2011 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.

if you love giving out gifts and being included in a Guinness Record, this is the moment you've been waiting for. just register at the OWWA office in Pasay City until December 14, 2011. then go to the Rizal Memorial Stadium on sunday for an afternoon of cheers.

since Christmas is not only celebrated in the Philippines, this event will also be held in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. so our kababayans will also join Manila in opening gifts at the same time. this event is supported by local mobile networks, Hong Kong CSL, Taiwan Mobile and SingTEL in Singapore. calling is very affordable with Globe and through these networks with the cheap rates they offer.

the event schedule for December 18 is as follows:
10 AM - registration
12 NN - opening of gates
330PM - gift giving and opening of gifts

there's no amount requirement for the gifts that you're going to give. just be generous enough to bring the good cheer to the other participants this Christmas. the current holder of this record is ITV from UK with only 1,600 participants -- but we Filipinos, like to grab it all. the current registration is already 3,500. but if you invite your OFW relatives, we can surpass the record not just twice but even more!


the event would be actually quite fun so let's do it for Filipino Pride and for spreading the Christmas spirit! merry Christmas everyone!
