REVIEW: Hawkeye

Another fun series Marvel Studios released as part of their Phase 4 of the MCU is Hawkeye which is the last series to be released in 2021. Though many have clamored for his own movie can also be a possibility but having a series was a good call to give more development of Clint and Kate's story who both holds the mantle of Hawkeye.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

The series might also be just six episodes but tells a lot of first building the connection between Clint and Kate as they are both world apart from being an Avenger and a superhero-in-training. Though I have not red the comics about Kate Bishop's origin, her character does give her a unique personality which many would compare with other archer characters. She has a strong determination, sense of humor, and good archery skills that can keep up with Barton.

The series did also address the character of Ronin which was ruthless, made many enemies, and was killer. As Clint wanted to move on from that dark past, Kate stumbled upon Ronin clothes and even used it in combat. Unintentionally making enemies and got caught in the chaos where Ronin was involved. But this also brought the two together to work which also has friction at first but finally worked as partners.

Bumblebee - The Worthy Transformers Movie


Another hyped movie that opens ths January is a spin-off movie of the Transformers franchise with the lovable Bumblebee. Starring Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, and Jorge Lendeberg Jr., theis new take on the Transformers was seen with a more positive outlook compared with the previous films.

Set in the 80s, Bumblebee comes in the golden age of the Transformers history with characters looking close to the original look. Though the aesthetics still has the modern touch, going back to the roots which made classic fans very happy. 

Transforming into a Volkswagen Beetle is probably the many loved the film as it is the iconic vehicle Bumblebee transforms into. But you would also see the link why he changes to his modern verson, the Camaro. Unlike the Michael Bay films which are full of explosions, this one made a balance of a fun adventure wth just the right amount of metal and explosions. Though the story became lighter and a little formulaic, it was able to grasp the emotion of the audience with the chemistry of Bee and Charlie.

REEL DEAL: "Pitch Perfect 2" Reaches P200-M Mark, Now Biggest Musical/Comedy in PH‏

The Barden Bellas sang their way to Filipinos' hearts to the tune of a phenomenal P200-million. Universal Pictures' "Pitch Perfect 2" reached the record-breaking milestone yesterday and now stands as the highest-grossing live-action musical/comedy film in the Philippines. This was announced today by a spokesman of United International Pictures which distributed the film through Columbia Pictures.

The crowd-pleasing feature about an all-female a capella group opened nationwide May 13 and was the No. 1 film at the box-office for two weeks in a row – a feat previously unheard-of for a live-action musical/comedy up against action movies.

REEL DEAL: Hailee Steinfield A New Bella In “PITCH PERFECT 2”

Universal Pictures' comedy “Pitch Perfect 2” welcomes two new Bellas into the musical mix, led by Academy Award® nominee Hailee Steinfeld, who blew audiences away when she held her own opposite Jeff Bridges in “True Grit.”

The young actress who plays freshman Emily Junk reflects: “Pitch Perfect 2 was unlike any other movie I had done before. The fact that I love music and grew up singing and dancing was a big reason why this opportunity was so intriguing to me. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better scenario.”

Much like Beca (Anna Kendrick) in the first chapter, Emily starts her time at Barden University as a misfit. Still, whereas Beca is a music producer at heart, Emily writes music—although both are just as passionate about their talents…and about being a Bella. Explains Steinfeld: “Everything Emily knows about what it means to be a ‘Bella’ comes from her mom, Katherine, who was a legacy. Back in her mom’s day, being a Bella was the pinnacle. Now that Emily is officially a Bella, her over-eagerness gets the best of her and she quickly realizes the amount of hard work that is necessary to compete as a Bella.”

REEL DEAL: BEGIN AGAIN"- John Carney Brings Back Musical Magic On The Big Screen

“If music be the food of love, play on,” wrote William Shakespeare over 400 years ago, reminding us of the way that music can inspire and speak to our emotions and connections in a deeper and more profound way than simple words.  It’s no wonder, then, that the cinema has embraced the power of music to capture and enhance the screen’s powerful connection to the human spirit.  No one knows that better than filmmaker John Carney, whose 2006 film ONCE went from being the find of the Sundance Film Festival to winning the Independent Spirit Award for Best Foreign Film, earning a Grammy nomination for its soundtrack, and winning the Best Original Song Academy Award for the romantic ballad “Falling Slowly” (composed and performed by the film’s stars, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.)  The stage play based on the film then went on to win the Tony Award for Best Musical. 

REEL DEAL: Kiera Knightley Takes On Adam Levine

Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine may have won several Grammy Awards, sold millions of albums worldwide and judged the hit TV series The Voice, but in the movie BEGIN AGAIN, he gets upstaged as the spotlight turns to actress Kiera Knightley.

“I’ve never done anything like this,” admits Knightley who is best known for her costume dramas and period films such as “Pride & Prejudice,” and “Atonement,” as well as the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

“My character has pretty much died in everything I’ve done for the last five years,” she jokes. “I decided I’d like to do something where I didn’t have to go through heavy emotional turmoil and die, if at all possible.  There’s a touch of emotional turmoil in this, but in the end I found it to be incredibly hopeful. It’s rare to find pieces of work that are so full of hope.”

REEL DEAL" Adam Levine Makes Film Debut In "BEGIN AGAIN"

Although he’s no stranger to the camera, having been a coach on the NBC show “The Voice” for several seasons, and making his small screen acting debut on the hit FX Drama “American Horror Story,” music star ADAM LEVINE has never tried dramatic acting until he was approached by John Carney to be part of the upcoming movie “Begin Again.”

“I was honored just to be asked, and right off the bat I fell in love with the script.  To have John believe in me is really exciting,” says Levine.  “John saw something in me that was this character Dave– whether that is flattering or not, I can’t tell, but I would not have considered doing a film unless I was really connected to the material.  I love John’s tone – he is a musician, and I think his sensibilities are those of a musician so we get along famously.”
