'Wicked: For Good' Trailer Unveiled: A Glimpse into the Epic Conclusion
The highly anticipated trailer for Wicked: For Good has finally arrived, offering fans a captivating glimpse into the concluding chapter of the Witches of Oz saga.
Mark your calendars! Director James Gunn; Producer Peter Safran; Superman himself, David Corenswet; and Lois Lane, Rachel Brosnahan will be at the SM Mall of Asia on June 19!
Would it be the end of Lightning McQueen? No. It will just be another chapter in the life of our favorite racer from Radiator Springs, but what would happen when there is a new breed of racers more advanced than our Lightning McQueen himself? He cannot rely on his speed that much and should keep up with the advancing technology in Cars 3. The sequel plays in cinemas starting July 26.
In this sequel of Cars, Lightning McQueen slowly gets to the back of the game as rookies step up with new technology and advancements. Competitors especially Jackson Storm keeps him the trail dirt until McQueen pushed himself to hard resulting to a hard accident. His sponsors also start to come off leaving him to loyal Radiator Spring squad and Rusteez. Everything else fails that he has to give in with the advancements and play like how the rookies do it. But when he realizes that he cannot catch up, he is on with the least thing he can think of, to retire.
A personal trainer comes for help to bring back McQueen and will this partner be the solution to take him back in the game? Cruz Ramirez and Lightning McQueen go to an adrenalin adventure that they'll never forget.
The crew of Radiator Springs is back. Mater and the gang are still loyal supporters of Lightning McQueen. However, the story didn't much connect with me as I think they only made the movie to maintain the franchise. When they say that the Pizza Van is in every Pixar movie, I failed to find it. Can you find it for me?
Cars 3 opens July 26 in theaters nationwide. A special treat for Cars fans by Disney Pixar is they are bringing a life-sized Lightning McQueen around Manila. Racer Matteo Guidicelli graces the unveiling of Lightning McQueen.
You may just shrug off historical accounts during the War but when you see emotions and events unfold from the eyes of the veterans, you will be immersed in the situation as what Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk has revealed to us. Dunkirk is indeed a masterpiece that will tell you most of the story by our veterans during the war.
The small dialogue text is supplemented by strongest human reactions to every situation that makes Dunkirk one of the best war movies this year. Via air or land, you will see how intense the action was in every scene. It's an intense story of survival when you're almost helpless; a roller coaster for lead Fionn Whitehead's character which has been very difficult alike to everybody else on land and sea. Tom Hardy's aerial fight was breathtaking like a Top Gun stunt. It would have been cool to have this shown in 4D entertainment.
The movie is great to be seen on IMAX for a better immersive experience.
Anybody slap my face if I say that 9 Works Theatrical and Globe Live's Newsies is fine. It is not. It is awesome! The latest production that is ongoing throughout all weekends of July is a spectacular show that makes Filipino talent comparable to touring big Broadway productions -- or even better. I say the latter.
Staged at the Globe Amphitheater in Bonifacio High Street, the set brings you to 1899 when all the things happened for our poor newsies (newspaper boys). See every event unfold when the rusty towers move and the backdrop projection are like pages of a newspaper. Then the newsies bring the stage to life with pure energy and powerful voices letting us hear their story and voicing out their rights and concerns as an employee. A very relatable issue that is also tackled up to this day. Their pirouettes and splits and jumps are to watch out for. The Newsies Training Ground really paid off with the skills showing the diversity and exceptional energy that is shared by the actors to the audience.
Give Gian Magdangal a warm comeback as Jack Kelly in Newsies. It seems just like yesterday when he played Danny Zuko in Grease and his leadership to a young group has turned out to something more relevant. Mickey Mouse has definitely gave a good amount of magic dust on him. Same goes to the Kings of New York, they have earned an audience acceptance as triple-threats in the theater industry and will make you ask for even more. Kudos to the whole production team, to director Robbie Guevara, and actors that will make us thankful as our eyes opened for our rights and equality as we enjoy a spectacular show.
And don't forget to get a souvenir program for this show!
Catch Newsies all Fridays to Sundays of July, until July 30, 8PM. Presented by Globe Live and 9 Works Theatrical.
Did you know that when you wash your face with soap, you strip of its natural and outermost layer of protection from foreign objects in the environment? How about feeding your skin with nutrients that it needs that can give you a natural glow and moisturizer?
Kutis Filipina offers a great service that comes with the Kutis Classic treatment and it's called Dermal Infusion. It's a unique treatment for me and according to Dr. Laurence Tan of Kutis Filipina, it injects essential nutrients that were stripped off of your face in every washing. It is similar with the Diamond Peel but it is less abrasive, so it retains the young skin cells and at the same time, adds vitamins / minerals for your skin's natural glow.

I have tried this twice already and during the first treatment, it nourished my face with Vitamin C and E and moisture. At the following treatment, we added Glutathione that is also a powerful antioxidant which can help prevent skin cancer which everybody is subject to especially when exposed to the sun. Glutathione is also a powerful ingredient in whitening for an even skin tone and erase dark spots on the face.
Dermal Infusion is also included in the annual promo of Kutis Filipina which you can avail for only Php 9,800. It covers regular facial treatments, diamond peel, radio frequency and Photo Dynamic Therapy which is more expensive when you avail individually.
Visit Kutis Filipina at Gil Fernando Avenue, San Roque, Marikina City (above Omakase) or call 0917 503 8784 or (02) 646 0807 for appointment.

Bringing back one of our homegrown talents and a Disney guy himself, Gian Magdangal as Jack Kelly, together with a bunch of guys strutting the stage with songs based on the book about 1899 newsboys rallies in protest against rising distribution rates put forward by publishing giants Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. From newsboys to activists, the musical dramatizes the David-versus-Goliath fight for social justice and better working conditions. See the members of the cast in the videos below:
Songs are composed by Alan Menken and brought to movement by PJ Rebullida using jazz and ballet movements that the cast have worked on with Training Grounds. Watch the webisode below:

It's great to have Gian back into Philippine theater from a stint at Hong Kong Disneyland’s The Golden Mickeys and Universal Studios Japan. Joining him as part of the newsboys are Jef Flores (recent Gawad Buhay awardee for Outstanding Lead Actor for Tick, Tick…BOOM! ), Daniel Drilon (Secret Garden, Fun Home), Tory Cortez (Hansel and Gretel, A Christmas Carol), Luis Marcelo (Little Shop of Horrors), and Alex Diaz (Host & TV Personality, MYX VJ).

One of my favorite movies from the 90s is Sister Act and its Broadway musical production is touring right now. They are playing at Solaire Resort from June 27 up to July 9 at The Theatre. I was lucky to get a backstage tour with the Production Manager as we looked on the works of staging this great musical.
We enter The Theater and the 16-foot image of the Virgin Mary welcomes us as the background of the Church of the Queen of Angels. She is transported by ship travelling around the world. The hollow material makes it easier to carry and the movable at the base but she is in one piece and rests on a hammock inside a ship.
At the left of the stage is the audio controlling area where the lapels, sound system, and all audio works are controlled. Then beside it is a props box where items can easily be grabbed or a bottle of water is available if the cast needs a little refreshment or to wet their throats.
On the right side of the stage sits the console where the Program Manager oversees all that's what's going onstage whether to give good lighting and to see what's happening when the lights go down during transition scenes.
Then we moved at the back of the stage and found the bright costumes and there are around 300 pieces of costume throughout the show. I wonder how they maintain all clothes when they perform every day?
Here are also some finds in the backstage:
Thank you Ovation Productions for the experience. You can catch Sister Act, the Glorious Broadway Musical at The Theatre in Solaire until July 9. For tickets, you may visit www.ticketworld.com.
