A story of a dreamer who fell short, to a lawyer who went the distance, fueled by perseverance and a GLoan

Not every dream unfolds exactly as planned, and the journey toward making it a reality isn't always a straight path. Sometimes it calls for unwavering perseverance. Other times, it means finding the courage to take a second chance. And often, true progress comes from knowing when to ask for help so you can keep moving forward.

Themed “Kasama Mo Mangarap,” this latest chapter reveals the deeply inspiring real-life journey of Atty.

The second half of 2026 is packed with blockbuster releases that deserve to be experienced on the big screen.

From Disney's live-action "Moana" and Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" to the highly anticipated "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," among many others, moviegoers have plenty of reasons to head back to the cinema.

But not all movie theaters offer the same experience. Whether you're after larger-than-life visuals, immersive sound, or premium comfort, there's a cinema format designed for you. Before booking your tickets for this season's biggest releases, here's a guide to finding the perfect way to watch based on your preferences.

REVIEW - The Odyssey

Hyped up to be the movie of the year which was also shot using IMAX cameras, The Odyssey brings the epic tale of the adventures of Odysseus that we have known in our Mythology class.  Now Christopher Nolan wants to raise the bar with a star studded cast, beautiful filming locations, and an action drama that moves us, delivered by the amazing actors. Matt Damon leads the cast as Odysseus, joining him are Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. 

They did deliver to make it an epic with detailed wide shots, chaotic fight scenes, and suspenseful predicaments. The score and sound worked perfectly to bring the loudness and silence for the part. Overall, it has indeed earned it hype and I can confidently say it is one of the best movies of the year.

Though some may find the creative elements not conventional like the accents and dialogue, it eventually fades as the story progresses. I did appreciate the utilization of the IMAX format with the wide shots of the sea and landscapes. The film also feels like a mix of his styles from his past films like The Dark Knight, Interstellar, and Inception - a subtle mark in his works.
