FIFTY SHADES OF GREY cast - Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam

probably the most sought after characters in novel-to-movie crossover are the characters of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. and just today, EL James announces the two actors that will portray the erotic roles of Slave and Master.

Charlie Hunnam (Christian Grey) and Dakota Johnson (Anastasia Steele)

Dakota Johnson to play the inquisitive Anastasia Steele and Charlie Hunnam to play the rich yet secretive Christian Grey. there have been many bets on who to play who but as EL James sees it and how she wants the audience to feel, that they "aim to please."

many fans of the novel were not happy about the casting for now. but i am curious on how they will present the Red Room of Pain and other bizarre things that Christian will present to Anastasia. i guess it will also feel different on how they will present the famous contract on FIFTY SHADES OF GREY movie.

THIS IS THE END movie review

probably the most hilarious apocalyptic movie i've ever seen, THIS IS THE END presents actors the way we've never seen them before. Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchen, James Franco, Jonah Hill high on weed and other substances and throwing blasphemus jokes.

it would seem like a bunch of rich movie celebrities that just thought of creating a movie just for fun and indeed it is. a merger of different iconic movie scenes like Exorcism, Independence Day among others. it was just fun that we see unexpected personalities but dying at a glance at the brutal way possible. it was also hilarious at how you'll discover how celebrities think about others among them. if i am to decide, they could win a Golden Globe for this.

i don't know what message this movie implies but the script is very funny and plot is very interesting. i could watch it again and recommend it to everyone. although it's not advisable for audience under 16 (R-16 rating).

THIS IS THE END is directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, distributed by Columbia Pictures and will be played exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas starting September 11.

KALOKALIKE Face 2

with the success of It's Showtime's Kalokalike segment, the show presents a bigger and more diverse line up of finalists vying for the Ultimate Kalokalike title. 72 finalists from different parts of the globe impersonating the artists and celebrities that they look-alike presented their similar aura, features and talents to the press in the recently held press conference.

It's Showtime hosts Kalokalikes

most finalists have leveled-up their presence by answering press questions and intrigues that the actual celebrity experiences. some of them also had very similar features and presented their talents like how the real thing does.

among my favorites, that which resemble their counterparts well are Michael Jackson, Mr. Bean, Billy Crawford, Cacai Bautista, Maja Salvador, Sunshine of Sexbomb, Jake Cuenca 1, ER Ejercito, Jessica Sanchez, Tado, Matet De Leon, Noli De Castro, Tessa Prieto-Valdez, Apl De Ap, Jed Madela, Dulce, and Freddie Aguilar. Philippine President, Noynoy Aquino also comes in the finalists press conference complete with PSGs which makes it the extra mile.

one of the highlights of the conference was Alfie Lorenzo meeting his own kalokalike in the flesh and be able to talk with him with personal matters in a funny way. the kalokalike is very kind enough to answer the showbiz writer that lightened the mood of the audience more.

the finalists will be making their ways to be the Ultimate Kalokalike Face 2 starting August 26 to September 21. only at the Philippines' most preferred noontime variety show, It's Showtime.

MAXIE THE MUSICAL "Patikim ng Schlight"

at the success of the gay indie movie, Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros, Bit by Bit Productions headed by Darwin Mariano and Carlo Francia, and in cooperation with PETA Theater, Maxie the Musical will soon take the waves of gay rights and equality in the production of Maxie the Musical. opening November 9 to December 8, at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City.

last night's "Patikim ng Schlight" gig provided a fun glimpse of how the show will transpire. a total of 6 numbers and a few tableau of how Maxie spends his day with his family. the gay adolescent also takes his journey at his hometown. living with his father and two brothers who sells gambling tickets and other illegal jobs.

Maxie and Victor (unofficial cast)

while at this state, Maxie still manages to put the positive mood and serve his family like the only woman in the family. as a "girl" at his right, he gets attracted to a police officer named Victor who is in search of illegal doers at their town. it will be a struggle for Maxie to defend his blood or follow his heart.

i loved the words during the sample reading at the "Patikim." it is both intelligent and flirty as how i see Maxie should be. it would be a great anticipation on how iconic scenes will be executed by director, Dexter Santos and the crew. the beauty pageant, the first meet-up of Maxie and Victor and more. the songs too were very distinct of the characters portraying Maxie, his father and brothers, and Victor as well as establishing sceneries with only just words. the songs really expose how Maxie feels and how Victor reacts to him.

if you loved the movie, you'll also love this musical as another presentation that recognizes members of the third sex in the society. the presentation of how people from the third sex lives as like straight people do, and that also deserve right approach towards them.

tickets are now available on Ticketnet so you have to reserve now. also follow @MaxieTheMusical on Twitter and like the Facebook page.

EKSTRA movie review

we've known the Star for All Seasons, Vilma Santos, to play lead roles in different movies and being a bit player was the last thing that i could think about. i was really amazed on how she played like one in Ekstra, an independent film that gave her the Best Actress Award for the Cinemalaya Film Festival 2013, and raked in other awards from the critics.

we follow the story of the bit player preparing for bit roles in a soap opera. a one day journey that motivates her to sustain a lifestyle and the needs of her child. the underlying story of a mother that would do anything just to put her gift in a good school, a dreamer. at that day, is like most of us, starting positively, but the turn of events is how fate plays among us. no matter how we sweat ourselves to do our work as needed and to get us recognized by impressing other people, there will be a time that we are going to fall. starting with the feeling of "It should have been me" and ending there, me as an audience immerses into the story and felt the same way and tearing up in anger with myself. some story of regret that makes you think, "I should have done it that way."

That crying moment.

in the sentiment of the bit players, the movie upholds the little people that made up the story, that helps the star stand out, that add color to the background of the set. Ekstra indeed shows another face of life which we usually ignore or even laughed about. but these people have spirits like us, instead of waiting for luck to give what they want, they do a little extra that will give other people what they want. a huge example of sacrifice and dream that people should follow.
