Heroes and villains in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Warner Bros took a tease on the first look of JK Rowling's Wizarding World with the cast photo of the wizards in FANTASTIC BEASTS: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The movie is set to be in theaters November 2018.

In the previous film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald features a great ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp.

Watch Batman's featurette from Justice League

I separated a post about Batman from the other featurettes of the Justice League and I think it's cool. Batman doesn't have any superpowers but he just got real of being RICH.

Bruce Wayne aka Batman played by Ben Affleck gets applauses from his first appearance in Batman V Superman and I think this stays for a while and I aint complaining. Watch the evolution of Gotham's caped crusader in the video below.



Do you love Batman? Let me know in the comments. Justice League opens in theaters, November 16.

Ground Zero exhibit for the rehabilitation of Marawi

The District Gallery opens its doors to the public for an exhibition featuring Celine Lee, Jose Tong, Kevin Nieves, Marc Gaba, Nasser Lubay, Racquel De Loyola, and Wipo. A part of the proceeds will be donated to the rehabilitation of Marawi. The exhibit runs from November 11 to December 9 at Arts Above.

Ground Zero presents works across various media that explore escape as a viable aesthetic and political—that is to say, artistic—response. Here, escape is not about a naïve denial of the real, but an acknowledgment of the absurdity that dominates the political sphere and increasingly, the hype-culture of contemporary art, and thereafter taking a moment to step aside.

In this idea of escape, one remains in the midst of everything, in a paradox of stopping in motion. “Umuwi na tayo,” goes the song by the Eraserheads, “dahil wala ng sense ang ating mundo" — which in translation goes “Let’s get back home since the world doesn’t make sense.” Where—or perhaps more precisely, what—home is, sustains itself here as a lingering question whose openness is not only the rationalizing premise of the group exploration, but is also the very aesthetic held forth: these are works that could still the mind, that a new perspective might be born, one without prescription, out of the rare freedom that stillness yields.

The District Gallery is in Arts Above, 112 West Avenue, Quezon City. For more information, you may email districtgallery@outlook.com or call 09989911982. You can also follow their social media accounts at @districtgalleryph.
