We're glad Hugh Jackman does a musical again


The first trailer of The Greatest Showman has the Moulin Rouge feels and I love that our favorite Aussie gets to do this movie. Hugh Jackman plays the title role as PT Barnum.


Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. Watch the trailer below:



The film also features Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson and more. Directed by Michael Gracey and written by Jenny Bicks and Bill Condon. With Music by John Debney (Jungle Book) with Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, the writers of the songs from La La Land.

The Greatest Showman shows this Christmas in the US.

Do we really need another Transformers movie? - my review



Here's what I think about Transformers: The Last Knight.
I saw Transformers: The Last Knight last night and I hope that this would be the last. Shooting it in 98% IMAX cameras just makes it meh. There have been a lot of 3D IMAX movies and the had been better way too much than giving us mere spectacle with Michael Bay's explosives and CGI. I've also got confused of who's really the villain somewhere in the middle and they even added unnecessary characters. Acting is cringe-worthy for Isabela Moner's character who's been so knowing-it-all on the Transformers' nature. The movie didn't establish her as a little heroine. And what happened to the 4 kids at the first half of the movie?
O, Mark Wahlberg was here pala.
It was trying to compose another origin or historical account on the living robots with a short-lived so-called robot-goddess, Quintessa. Great to see Bumblebee to rebuild itself after being torn into pieces. But I am still thankful that they acknowledged the presence of Sam Witwicky (Shia Labeouf) in the movie that might have lighten it up a bit.

EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING movie review


Hunger Games star Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson risk everything for love in WB's new teen romance, Everything, Everything which opens tomorrow, June 21 in theaters.
The movie revolves around Maddy (Stenberg) who has been confined inside her house by her mother because of a rare disease called SCID. She hasn't left her house as she may be exposed to different bacteria which can lead to her death. Then a new neighbor comes in as Olly (Robinson) who was very curious and eager to meet her. The conversations got more intimate that resulted to running away and then meeting the consequences of being exposed to the environment.

As a blooming teenager like Maddy, she was very curious about the world outside the confines of their house. Her eagerness to come out and be with Olly in the world has led her to some very unlikable things for a young woman and running off with a guy she knew so little. This was just all a little girl's fantasy and as adults, I think there's a great responsibility that we have to check about this. I think we're missing the point that she doesn't have any money to start with, getting her own credit card online (which is very dangerous for a girl to give out details to the world), and running away cross-country with who knows what would happen. It may be just me and my pessimistic mind but it is a very dangerous movie for young ones. It encourages young girls to keep secrets from their parents which is not good.
Everything, Everything opens tomorrow. I advise parents that you should talk to your kids if they are watching this.

midnight screenings for Transformers The Last Knight


Here are the cinemas that will hold their midnight screenings for the Michael Bay film, Transformers: The Last Knight on June 21. Watch it first than anyone else in the following movie houses:
The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero. Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).
There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference. In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes. Heroes will become villains. Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

The film also stars Josh Duhamel, Isabella Moner, Stanley Tucci and John Turturro.
