The Necessary Theater adapts Olivier Award winner Blackbird for a two-weekends at the Carlos P. Romulo Theater, RCBC Plaza, Makati City featuring Bart Guingona and Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante, directed by Topper Fabregas.
Guingona plays Ray and Volante as Una in a story written by David Harrower. A different kind of love story unfold in front of an audience where they will be shocked on the encounters of Ray and Una 15 years earlier. When Una was only twelve, Ray seduced Una over the course of three months and finally took her away to a hotel for the weekend. Ray spent several years in prison for statutory rape, and Una was ostracized from her community after the incident. Now, she has found him by accident, and the play delves into their complex feelings for each other. Though clearly, and definitional, sexual abuse has occurred, the play that ensues is also part of a love story -- a horrible love story, but a love story all the same.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Best Play, Blackbird is a deeply complex portrayal of two people whose ruined lives are inextricably intertwined.
Opening September 1, with shows at 8pm on September 1, 2, 8 and 9 and 3pm on September 3 and 10. Tickets sell at PhP 1,200.00 Orchestra center, PhP 1,000.00 Orchestra sides and orchestra back; PhP 800.00 Loge; PhP 500 Balcony, available at Ticketworld.
Be sure to cling to your loved ones when a tidal wave is chasing you. This new one-sheet poster of GEOSTORM is a real horror when it happens in real life.
In the film, after an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything...and everyone along with it.
Dean Devlin (writer/producer, Independence Day) makes his feature film directorial debut with suspense thriller Geostorm, starring Gerard Butler (Olympus Has Fallen, 300), Jim Sturgess (21), Abbie Cornish (Limitless), Alexandra Maria Lara (Rush), Daniel Wu (The Man with the Iron Fists, Warcraft: The Beginning), Eugenio Derbez (How to Be a Latin Lover), with Oscar nominees Ed Harris (The Hours, Apollo 13) and Andy Garcia (The Godfather: Part III).
Geostorm is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company. Watch the trailer below:
A FAMILY MAN, Gerard Butler's new drama talks about a head hunter who is caught in the middle of different tests: finding a job for a seeker which is already over aged, making his path to be the next big boss of the company he's in, and dealing with fatherhood as his son suffers to a kind of leukemia.
An inspirational film on the struggles of a provider, wanting to excel in his own right as a career man and a provider for his family, but then challenges face him as his son is stricken with an illness. But in spite of it all, he tries to pull himself together by knowing his priorities, then all things got back into place. More of a faith-movie, but there is no divine intervention. It teaches us to know our priorities and when everything shuts down, new opportunities and windows come in when we least expect it. It will draw us on our relationship with our own families and making us realize why we do what we do. It is a good eye-opener.
It contains unnecessary scenes that made it longer. Story line is basic and simple.

I am excited to upload my entry and at the same time catch up with the movies and TV series that give LOL, WOW and XOXO.
Now you must have somebody with you when you watch it on cinemas starting August 23. Warner Bros has strongly established that Annabelle will be your worst nightmare and will haunt you until the next day after seeing it. With Annabelle: Creation, the horrific doll has birthed the newest kind of evil that will lead our senses to the darkness we had never imagined.
The origin of Annabelle has been clearly narrated in this movie and it's almost a giveaway. I cannot divulge but you will be served as one of the best scares this year. Some of the scares were actually predictable but you will see something worse or better. The deafening silence of the scenes make me shrinking in my seat and I actually came pale out of the cinema after watching. If you have a doll with you while watching it, you better keep a good eye on it in the future.
And don't miss those extra scenes by the credits. Annabelle: Creation has began creating its own movie universe and it promises more frightening sequels. You'll also notice very familiar elements if you are into this horror flick.
Annabelle: Creation is directed by David Sandberg. Sandberg directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman, who also wrote Annabelle. The film stars Stephanie Sigman (Spectre), Talitha Bateman (The 5th Wave), Lulu Wilson (Ouija: Origin of Evil), Philippa Coulthard (After the Dark), Grace Fulton (Badland), Lou Lou Safran (The Choice), Samara Lee (The Last Witch Hunter), Tayler Buck in her feature film debut, with Anthony LaPaglia (TV’s Without a Trace) and Miranda Otto (Showtime’s Homeland, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy). Opens in Philippine theaters, August 23.
