Watch DADDY'S HOME 2 trailer

Why do I think that Mark Wahlberg is more suitable to these kind of movies?

Dad buddies Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrel are back to give their families a perfect Christmas this year with the release of Daddy's Home 2. Watch the trailer below:

The film also stars Mel Gibson, John Lithgow, Linda Cardellini, John Cena, and Alessandra Ambrosio.

In the sequel to the 2015 global smash Daddy's Home, father and stepfather, Dusty (Wahlberg) and Brad (Ferrell) have joined forces to provide their kids with the perfect Christmas. Their newfound partnership is put to the test when Dusty’s old-school, macho Dad (Gibson) and Brad’s ultra-affectionate and emotional Dad (Lithgow) arrive just in time to throw the holiday into complete chaos.

Daddy's Home 2 is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures. Opening November 29 in theaters.

IT movie review

The remake of Stephen King's "IT" makes a new generation scared of clowns. Though it is set in the 1980s, Pennywise the Dancing Clown's target is the children who spend their time out being too far away and making things too much. One of which is imagining things. IT maybe what our parents warn us about talking to strangers, going out alone, or do something productive and worth our time.

You got 7 kids, off to solve the mystery of disappearing children, but also they are having a dose of the real world facing household problems and bullies. For Bill (Jaeden Lieberher), he just want to find his lost brother. Along with his friends, each come face to face with things they fear which feed the monster clown, Pennywise. The typical mix of peers, an introvert, the talkative, the rational, the joker, the genius and then mixed with a girl that will be their apple of the eye. This combo works as you'll emphatise with them all throughout. But the child who gets the most love is Ben (Jeremy Ray Taylor), aside from his huggable features, he deserves the love of Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis) whom he is fighting for.

Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard), aside from just being everywhere a kid is scared, is more terrifying with his deep-sea shark teeth. I think I watched the trailer too much that I was no longer afraid of him during the movie. But what terrifies me is when he shakes berserk when he attacks the kids, you'll hate him when he talks and you'd like to strangle him to his death.

Also don't forget the eerie monster house that is also kind of coming from Stephen Spielberg's Monster House minus the anatomy. The abandoned house looks like it came from a children's book infested with termites and spooks. So good but it doesn't blend with the neighborhood.

Opens today in theaters, IT is distributed by Warner Bros Pictures, and directed by Andy Muschietti. If you're in for a scare, bring the kids and introduce them reality and all that scares them is just a figment of their imagination. Can't wait for Part 2.

THE BEGUILED movie review

A quiet dorm for girls were shaken upon the arrival of Corporal McBurney (Colin Farrell) after found in the forest wounded and dying. As they were trying to get rid of him fast, the ladies had been charmed and their true colors appeared in the excitement in the presence of a man.

In this remake of The Beguiled, Sofia Coppola defines the girls as they were also seductresses to the corporal instead of him taking advantage to play with their minds and hearts. This version talks about their life before he went in, how they are very reserved and how they are longing for escape from the walls of the dorm. At least that's what we heard from Edwina (Kirsten Dunst) telling the corporal. She must've been very lonely as she is overlooking on 4 different children and acts as a teacher. However, she is also inferior to Martha (Nicole Kidman) who serves as the man of the house.

Elle Fanning somewhat gave us how ladies in their puberty are. Her young features are some what on the verge of exploding in excitement seeing the corporal. She may be the meanest in their pack but the most vulnerable.

But you got to admire Miss Martha (Kidman) here. She still maintains her composure and was able to turn things around as if it wasn't intense. It gets more exciting when they planned on their next step on how to get rid of the corporal without him suspecting.

The Southern accent is very effective on the actors. Matching with the consistency in the period with their dresses and props, it is an amazing time travel.

The Beguiled opens today, September 6. Exclusively playing at Ayala Malls, Trinoma and Greenbelt 3.

Rami Malek is Freddie Mercury

This is Rami Malek. Celebrity, movie star, drama trophy-awardee. He is known for the Emmy-award winning Mr. Robot as Elliot.

I first saw him in Night at the Museum for 2 movies as the young Egyptian pharaoh Ahkmenrah.

And when the photos circulated that he is joining the Queen biopic as Freddie Mercury, the internet goes wild! Look at this photo:

It seems that Freddie Mercury was exhumed from the grave will all those similarities as how Rami portrays him. Look at that jaw and moustache that goes perfect on him!

Bohemian Rhapsody will be in theaters 2018 and I think it will all bind us together like how everybody embraced the song until this day. Let's wait and see how Rami and the whole team will present it. Who's excited to see it too?
