STEVEN SILVA does theatrical debut in Grease!

It's been quite a while that I haven't seen Steven Silva doing shows in his home network GMA. But I wish him the best of luck joining the big-time theater scene in 9 Works Theatrical's Grease as Johnny Casino! Yes, he will play the part in this year's rerun of Grease and getting the groove and suiting up with the leather jackets with matching heavy hair pomade!

Winning the last season of reality-talent search Starstruck, Steven is very much excited to be in theater and some say he did very well in auditions and gives a very good delivery of his lines. I also heard great reviews about him giving great performances in other musicals he was previously involved in like Boston Musical. Now I'm raising my expectations and slowly becoming a fan of this fresh talent.

The students of Rydell High are back kicking the dust and getting the dancing shoes with our most-loved songs in the production winning the 2013 PHILSTAGE Gawad Buhay Award for Outstanding Production of Existing Material for a Musical. I am so looking forward to this run!

I also heard from a source that there will be a new Danny Zuko and Betty Rizzo! I am confident that this will be joined by ABS-CBN and GMA stars! Will be revealing it soon! But wait are you also excited who the Teen Angels would be? Do you have a guess? I'm very sure that they have a lot of surprises every time they do a season. That's what I love about  this company; they give surprises that nobody has guessed about and there's even no hints whatsoever!

Grease is directed by Robbie Guevara, playing November 15-December 7 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Makati City. For tickets, contact Ticketworld at 891-9999.

What's up with Google? Google mo lang.

Found this link via Facebook and I really got interested in this very exciting game. Google actually serves you all its features by using the powerful search engine, Google. It makes you create your own "The Perfect Night" story with the Philippines' most influential online stars, Bogart the Explorer, Mikey Bustos, Spongecola, (I think, a group of guys is Chicser) and Erwan Heusaff.

The page let's you answer the celebs' questions by finding everything in Google. For example, Bogart asks you to give the population of the Philippines in 1990 and the answer is just a click away. As the story goes, you will find the others and they will ask you questions that are answerable by a Google away.

Answer to Bogart's question:

I missed those books that lets you choose alternate sequences and endings. This Google campaign is not only fun but very informative. Kudos.

After you completed all questions, you will receive badges so you can keep playing on it to complete all 8! Plus the phrase "Google mo lang" is very much distinct in their lines and it is very catchy.

RUROUNI KENSHIN The Legend Ends Movie Review

An epic finale in the Rurouni Kenshin Series, The Legend Ends gives everyone a glorious ending for the samurai legend. A sharp and fast execution gave justice and great excitement from Kyoto Inferno.

After the loss of Kenshin in part 2, he finds himself at the custody of his mentor, Seijuro, whom he asked to teach him a new technique. His former master willingly taught him but the lesson was determined by Kenshin's own way. A lesson that he learned that will enable him to beat his arch enemy, Shishio. Across his journey are different dangers and revenge of people whom he cared for and even the government has turned against him, making him a fugitive at the deals with Makoto Shishio. He will be eventually live victorious at the loss of Shishio due to his weird anatomy condition after a sharp and breath-taking fight.

It will be a delight for you to focus your attention throughout the movie. And there are happier things around that like when Kaoru and Kenshin takes a glance of each other, how they get excited at every time their names were mentioned by their friends. I like how Kenshin reacts to it despite his fierce and strong character. Sanosuke is of course a laugh act in the movie, no matter how bloody he gets in every fight, he still continues to punch and kick.

At his villains, the young Sojiro finally gets tired fighting! At last this curious but annoying character has been beaten to death. I'm annoyed at this character but I enjoyed his fight with Kenshin. Aside from Shishio, he gets enough attention to the movie.

One thing I've noticed is that when Kenshin has been stricken with a sword, he still survived up to the beach towards the end. It didn't came realistic at the absence of first aid, etc. So I'm just believing that he survived at Kaoru's presence (mushy!).

Congratulations to Warner Bros. Pictures (Japan) for the epic movie and Warner Bros. Pictures (Philippines) for bringing it in the country. It is one extraordinary experience.
