Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant to visit Philippines for Santa Clarita Diet Season 2 Red Carpet



To promote the upcoming new season and to thank their fans, Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant will visit the Philippines on March 12, 2018, 7PM for the Red Carpet of Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet Season 2 happening at SM Megamall.

Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant star as Sheila and Joel Hammond, husband and wife realtors with their teenage daughter Abby, until Sheila goes through a dramatic change sending their lives down a road of death and destruction but in a good way.
Picking up right where we left off, Season 2 of Santa Clarita Diet finds the Hammonds trying to adapt to Sheila’s now-advanced undead state — even though she’s desperately working to hold on to her suburban lifestyle and not be defined as just another monster. Unfortunately — while the family has become markedly better at murder — the number of missing people in Santa Clarita is starting to pile up and it’s no longer going unnoticed. Meanwhile, the Hammonds are chasing the source of the virus so they can stop it from spreading and save humanity — which seems important. Through it all, Sheila and Joel are grounded by their unconditional love for one another. Sure, being undead — or loving someone who is — isn’t always easy, but don’t all relationships have their challenges?

Santa Clarita Diet Season 2 begins streaming on Netflix starting March 23.

Review: RED SPARROW



Jennifer Lawrence reunites with Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence in spy-agent thriller Red Sparrow which will be shown in cinemas February 28.
Jennifer Lawrence stars as Dominika Egorova in “Red Sparrow,” who is drafted against her will to become a “sparrow,” a trained seductress in the Russian security service. Dominika learns to use her body as a weapon, but struggles to maintain her sense of self during the dehumanizing training process. Finding her power in an unfair system, she emerges as one of the program’s strongest assets. Her first target is Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), a CIA officer who handles the agency’s most sensitive infiltration of Russian intelligence. The two young operatives fall into a spiral of attraction and deception, which threatens their careers, allegiances and the security of both countries. Based on the book by former CIA officer Jason Matthews, “Red Sparrow” reunites Jennifer Lawrence with her “Hunger Games” director, Francis Lawrence with with Joel Edgerton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Charlotte Rampling, Mary-Louise Parker and Jeremy Irons rounding out the cast.

Spending her life under Matron would demand greater thinking of what people actually want seeing yourself involved. What I like about it is how Dominika was able to control American and Russian governments into her hands and get what she wants at the end.

Red Sparrow's plot would turn you around and will twist you on your seats as the bloodbath after an erotic encounter is openly shown. From what I think, Red Sparrow made an exploitation of Jennifer Lawrence because of the nudity it displays. JLaw might have agreed on the terms and the storyline but I think, she as an advocate of the "Me Too" movement, I wonder how she felt while shooting this, not to mention about the nude photos that surfaced years ago where she felt really violated of its spread. But that's up to her and decisions have been made and she's mature enough to decide on her own.
If you're looking for intense action, Red Sparrow will not provide car chases but play on your mind with excitement. This is also Jennifer Lawrence's most brutal and daring movie yet. Rated R-16.


“Red Sparrow” opens February 28 in cinemas nationwide from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Santa Clarita Diet returns March 23rd!


The most beautiful zombie comes back to screens on March 23 through Netflix. Santa Clarita Diet will be streaming season 2 and I am ready for some killings. LOL
Now that the neighborhood is noticing the disappearance of some people, Joel and Sheila Hammond are still OK, seriously. Sheila has been more advanced in her dead state and working to hold on to her normal life and not to spread fear outside. But the craving for human flesh has been more intense and murder tricks have been more cutting-edge. They are still looking for the source of the virus to stop it from spreading and save humanity.
I wonder what happened to the strong convict who was also bitten and got alive in the past season.

THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI movie review



Just as I am writing this I realized that this movie title has lots of repeated letters in it. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is not your typical comedy-drama movie.
In an unresolved murder of her daughter, Mildred (Frances McDormand) to rent three billboards that caught national attention that also put the local police station to struggle. The beginning went very interesting when the billboards were put out. In this case, if you work as an advertising supplier, you don't really think what message will be delivered as long as you easily earn big bucks.
Being dubbed as the "bad girl" in the community, Mildred didn't stop in pursuing justice for her daughter. The irony that the person seeking justice was not given fair justice and her anger is felt every scene that you will be more attentive on why's and how's. You will hate her and pity her and you'll give better understanding of her feelings and what she's going through.

Given all the drama and violence, there are also scenes that you will be laughing at your seat. Her unlikely and unexpected relationships, and turn of events for people of power. There's also an issue of discrimination, not for her but for the people in the community.

Officer Dixon's (Sam Rockwell) home is also a funny place in the movie where a person in uniform bends over his dauntless mom. But in spite of a very stubborn officer, he thinks he can manage Mildred but he's wrong. He also has no means and power but amazingly redeems himself towards the end of the story.
I was broken hearted when Chief Willoughby (Woody Harrelson) has taken his life but at least he also saved himself from the negative perception of Mildred and community. He made poor choices but his letters after dying are very heartfelt.

From 20th Century Fox, “THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI” opens February 14 only in the following cinemas – Eastwood, Shangri-la Mass, Century City Mall, Commerce Mall, Festival Mall, Fisher Mall, Gateway Mall, Fora in Tagaytay and at Vista Cinemas: Evia, Las Pinas, Sta. Rosa, Bataan, Pampanga and Daang Hari.

A very familiar poster for Teen Titans



Just LOL. That poster seem so familiar.
Warner Bros. released the teaser poster for Teen Titans Go to the Movies which will be in theaters, July 26.

“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” finds our egocentric, wildly satirical Super Heroes in their first feature film extravaganza—a fresh, gleefully clever, kid-appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers.

It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies—everyone but the Teen Titans, that is! But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously Super-Villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line!

Will Arnett (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”) and Kristen Bell (“Frozen”) lend their voices to the first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network’s animated TV show, which also stars Greg Cipes (TV’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TV’s “Spider-Man”) as Robin, Khary Payton (“The Walking Dead”) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the “My Little Pony” franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TV’s “Adventure Time with Finn & Jake”) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series.

The film is being directed by Aaron Horvath and Peter Rida Michail, from a screenplay by Michael Jelenic and Horvath, based on characters from DC. Michail, Will Arnett, Jed Weitzman, and Peggy Regan are producing, with Sam Register, Jelenic, and Horvath serving as executive producers. Apart from Arnett and Weitzman, all are “Teen Titans GO!” series contributors.

“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

BLACK PANTHER movie review


I didn't have a lot of expectations because I barely new Black Panther as a superhero but this movie is the most awesome to date. A glorious movie for the African and black American race that even the trailer has put us all speechless for its awesomeness.
Starting it would just like be any other Marvel movie until you enter the kingdom of Wakanda which has all spectacular and amazing stuff happening from a person to the whole community. A stunning presentation of technological capabilities with a heart. Not only that it gives a great importance to the culture but it also gives its way to women of power and great contributions to society.
For example, Shuri (Letitia Wright) shows her intellectual strength with her great inventions. Little as she would look like, her talented brain has been recognized and apprecited by her ruling brother -- a very good sense of equality between man and woman in the movie. Okoye (Danai Gurira) keeps her promise and loyalty to the throne, Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o) reminds where T'Challa's heart should be. T'Challa's mother Ramonda, though won't be able to fight for her son, was able to give way to unity with other kingdoms which is also a very important thing.

The female members of the Dora Milaje are equally strong and gives the voice to women to fight for what's right and have the power to defend themselves even one of the strongest of their kind like Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan).

Black Panther also displays the rich African culture through its wonderful costume design. When you look closely on the bright fabrics and accessories, the diverse patterns are very well detailed. Even the warfare are also exceptional that made fire weapons primitive. This was the coolest Marvel movie yet.
Black Panther is now showing in cinemas nationwide in 2D, 3D and IMAX formats. Bring everyone, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. :)
