Sanya And Derrick Goes Sexy And Sensual With "Wild And Free"

From doing cute and romantic roles, Sanya Lopez and Derrick Monasterio levels up their acting prowess with an explosive film by Regal Films called "Wild And Free." From the title itself, it already implied that the film will be daring and surprizing for fans and even movie goers. It was also shocking to see the first stills and trailer, it broke the usual image of the two but also know that with their looks and physique, they can confidently show their potential for roles like this.

Wild And Free comes as a game changer this year especially for Regal Films which has a majority of movie more inclined to comedy and love stories. Though this one also counts as a love story, their direction goes to a more mature path.

GMA's Onanay Is A Must Watch This Monday!


As Kambal Karibal ended on Friday, we look forward to new GMA drama, Onanay which brings something new to primetime. Starring Jo Berry, a newcomer artist who has Achondroplasia or a bone growth disorder which impeded her growth. But this did not stop her to shine in this series. She plays Onay who will be a mother of two beautiful daughters Maila and Natalie, played by Mikee Quintos and Kate Valdez respectively.

Victor Magtanggol - Surprisingly Not A Rip-Off, But Wait!

The very controversial new fantasy series of GMA came with a lot of raised eyebrows the moment they revealed that the newest superhero will have Norse Mythology and looks very familiar to Marvel's Thor. And with the main weapon for the series is the Mjölnir, many say that it is a rip-off of the mythological franchise.

With a story based on a foreign mythology and a established comic icon, Victor Magtanggol would really need a lot of explanation to prove its worth on prime time. This series also brings back Alden Richards at the prime block since "Destined To Be Yours" which I think was too rushed. But Magtanggol has been planned for a long time, and may have gone with the production code "Mitho". Now its out after replacing the zombie-serye "The Cure", will Magtanggol be the fantaserye it was made to be or will its elements confirm a rip-off?
