The wait was worth it. 

“Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” director Tim Burton’s follow-up to his 1988 classic horror-comedy “Beetlejuice,” had its world premiere on the opening night of the Venice Film Festival on August 28 – 36 years after the first movie was released. The long-in-the-works sequel, which screened out of competition, delighted the audience and earned a nearly four-minute standing ovation for Burton and his cast – led by Beetlejuice himself Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O’Hara, both also reprising their roles in the original, and new cast members Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci and Willem Dafoe.

Director Tim Burton is very happy with the new cast and characters in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” sequel to his 1988 horror-comedy classic “Beetlejuice.

The celebrated director appreciated that everyone was collaborative. “It’s like we’re doing this thing that nobody really knows what we’re doing – and within that framework, everybody is trying to make it something,” says Burton. “It was a joy to be on the set and go, ‘Hey, try this. Try that.’ And they all tried stuff.”

Returning To Beetlejuice: Director Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder And Catherine O’hara Talk About Working On The Iconic Film’s Sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”, In Cinemas September 4

The Juice is loose, Baby! 

Back once again in his signature black-and-white stripes, Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton) – the trickster demon and shapeshifting bio-exorcist – finds a way back to the Deetz family (particularly Lydia, his one who got away), oozing his signature kind of dead(ly) charm, to create chaos, raise a ruckus, and otherwise just be his ghoulish and ghastly self, in the sequel “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” directed by Tim Burton, with original cast members Keaton, Winona Ryder (Lydia Deetz) and Catherine O’Hara (Delia Deetz) joining newcomers Jenna Ortega, Justin Theroux, Monica Belluci and Willem Dafoe.  

“It’s great when you see people that you haven’t seen for a while, and then you go back into it,” says Burton. “I didn’t realize it’s been like decades. You know, it felt like yesterday, and it’s quite amazing when that happens. It was great. Honestly, it was strangely emotional seeing them all together again. But that’s what made it a special thing.”

Justin Theroux is Garmadon, the Worst Guy Ever in "The LEGO NINJAGO Movie"

Justin Theroux (The Girl on the Train, TV’s The Leftovers) lends his voice to Garmadon aka The Worst Guy Ever, in Warner Bros. Pictures' all-new, big-screen event, The LEGO NINJAGO Movie, (now playing in Philippine cinemas).

The baddest warlord of all time, Garmadon has red eyes, sharp teeth, and four arms. He rides a giant robot shark mech that walks. Can smell fear. He likes to fire his employees…from a volcano. Proud to bear the title of Worst Guy Ever, Garmadon is always trying to take over Ninjago City by attacking it over and over. But why? Perhaps there is something there – or someone – with whom he’s trying to reconnect.

REEL DEAL: The LEGO Ninjago Movie

This is actually the second LEGO movie for the year where in we had the LEGO Batman Movie early this year. Like the LEGO movies, it aims to be comedic and creative as possible. The LEGO Ninjago Movie is derived from the toy series of the same title which is also called "Masters of Spinjustu".

Playful in nature, yet the film has a different feel compared with the first LEGO movies. The Ninja team is composed of  Nya, Zane, Jay, Cole, Kai, and Lloyd who are sworn to protect the city of Ninjago, The team are expert martial artists, bad-ass mech pilots, and also attends school when the city is not on the brink of destruction.

Jackie Chan also joins the movie providing martial arts expertise with his team along with the animators. He also voices Master Wu, who is the mentor of the Ninja team. Justin Theroux is Garmadon the main villain and the father of Lloyd, the green ninja.

If you watched the TV animated series, you will enjoy this one as it is filled with humor, nostalgia and fast-paced action. I really liked the Ninja Mechas which are in my wishlist for Christmas.Thus, the movie is great marketing tool as well.

Evans, Theroux, Ramirez: The Men of "Girl on the Train"

Luke Evans (“Fast & Furious” franchise), Justin Theroux (“The Leftovers”) and Edgar Ramirez (“Deliver Us from Evil”) provide the masculine presence in the female-centric tale, “The Girl on the Train” from Paramount Pictures. The film also stars Emily Blunt, Rebecca Ferguson and Haley Bennett.

Based on Paula Hawkins’ bestselling novel, “The Girl on the Train” is directed by Tate Taylor (“The Help”) and adapted for the screen by Erin Cressida Wilson. In the film, Rachel (Blunt), who is devastated by her recent divorce, spends her daily commute fantasizing about the seemingly perfect couple who live in a house that her train passes every day, until one morning she sees something shocking happen there and becomes entangled in the mystery that unfolds.

To cast the two key male roles was just as crucial, according to producer Marc Platt. “It’s interesting to be involved in a film that’s so female-centric,” he says. “Usually, it’s the guys who are more complicated and then there’s the ‘girl’ role, and our challenge here was to develop characters that wouldn’t just be the ‘boy’ role in a film about the women. The story is also very much about the men.”
