Best friends forever, or until one of them gets eaten. Get ready for a hilariously good time in Anaconda, a comedy adventure starring genre superstars Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Anaconda is directed by Tom Gornican, and also stars Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello.

Childhood best friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) are going through a shared midlife crisis, pushing them into fulfilling a lifelong dream: shooting a remake of their all time favorite film: Anaconda. Heading deep into the Amazon, all bets are off once an actual giant anaconda appears, and comedy ensues as they try to escape a deadly situation.

One of the core components for co-writer Kevin Etten and co-writer-director Tom Gornician in making the comedy adventure Anaconda is getting actors who can face a truly terrifying situation while still keeping things fun.  “Tom and I have done this kind of ‘comedy under duress’ before, in which we take people who are wildly unequipped to handle the situations in which they land. We throw the craziest obstacles at them, and let them be idiots, while letting them play the real fear of the situation. We wanted to stay as far away as we could from winking at the danger and not feeling the stakes, and to feel as real as possible,” Etten explains.

They felt that they truly hit the jackpot with Jack Black and Paul Rudd, with Thandiwe Newton, Steve Zahn, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello to support them. “Jack, Paul, Thandiwe, Steve, Selton, and Daniela all have such great comedic instincts,” Etten continues. “They always played it real but knew how to tweak that just a little bit to get a big laugh.”

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - Cold or Cool?

The universe of Ghostbusters continues to expand and now spans to more generations as it makes more movies like Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. And for us which had some recall with the original Ghostbuster movies and cartoon series, this film teases us with the comeback of some of the original cast of the OG movies.

That is what the current Ghostbusters universe is now trying to converge. This is where I also learned that this is now being produced by Ghost Corps, which is a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures to oversee the production and development of the GCU (Ghostbusters Cinematic Universe). 

For this film, it continues the story of Ghostbusters: Afterlife with Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, and Celeste O'Connor now located in New York for their operations encounters a new and mystical form of entity which is encased in an ancient vessel which seems like a very old version of the Ghostbusters somewhere in South Asia.  

Paul Rudd and Carrie Coon invite fans to watch “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” in theaters. Here's why!

It would be very cool to see Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in a movie theater, says Paul Rudd, who plays Gary Grooberson in the film.

“Seeing any movie in a movie theater is the way to do it, you can’t beat it,” says Rudd. “There is so much that goes into sound and design and everything. To be able to see it on a massive screen and hear it, you know, you hear things in theaters that you don’t hear at home. It’s an immersive experience. So if you’re going to check it out, go for the best way of checking it out.”

“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” debuts at No. 1 in the U.S., bringing global box office total to $61M on its opening weekend

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire topped the U.S. box office on its opening weekend, powering the entire Ghostbusters franchise past the $1 billion mark. 

The film, starring Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard and McKenna Grace, opened at $45.2 million in the U.S. It has a staggered rollout in markets outside the U.S. and has so far grossed $61.6 million globally. In the Philippines, Frozen Empire opens April 10.

Paul Rudd Scales Up: Scott Lang's Heroism Looms Large in "Ant-Man and The Wasp"

For Scott Lang, there’s no shrinking from responsibility when it comes to family.  

When we last saw Scott Lang in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man,” he was trying to go straight for the good of his daughter Cassie. Now three years later, Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp” will allow us to find out if Scott stayed on that path for the good of his family.

Paul Rudd, who reprises the role of Scott Lang/Ant-Man in Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and The Wasp,” reassures  that Scott is still doing the best he can. While that gives the fans hope, you never know when it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe; there’s always a super villain out there who tends to bend things to their will.

When it came to stepping back into the shoes of the reluctant Super Hero facing the unimaginable, Rudd took on a singular approach. “One of the things that I really like about playing this character is that Scott is thrown into these extraordinary circumstances of shrinking and flying around on ants and dealing with life-threatening situations,” says Rudd. “I’ve always tried to sustain his way of dealing with everything with a sense of humor and a carefree attitude. I think it gives an audience a fun ride to see somebody like Scott Lang take in all of this craziness. So, for me, that’s fun to play.”

Ant-Man and the Wasp - Smaller and Bigger at the Same Time!

We may still be recovering from Infinity War, but to fill that void is the last MCU movie of 2018, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Bringing the team up of Ant-Man Scott Lang and now Hope Van Dyne now suited up as the Wasp are together for a new mission and disovery.

The timeline close and within the infinity war corridor it will provide answers to their connection to the "Snapocalyse". But before that they have to battle a new foe, and discover the secrets and power of the quantum realm which Scott has been to in the first movie. This calls for the throwback team up of the original Ant-Man and the Wasp which is Hank and Janet.

One of the villain they have to face is Ghost who can phase through almost everything, something they were not prepared for. There is also the appearance of Bill Foster also known as Goliath who also used a super suit to become "Giant Man". And there will be a lot of shrinking and expanding in this  movie which was also a hit with the first one. Based on the trailer, there is huge salt shaker and Hello Kitty Pez which was hilariously amazing.

REEL DEAL: The Little Prince REVIEW

We all know the story of The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry which has become a favorite by many. The story which is loved by many is now made into a new animated film in 2015 which integrates the original novel with a mirror story with a new set of characters which is brought together by the events and the story of the adventures of the celestial royalty.

The movie initially premiered  at the 68th Cannes Film Festival in an out-of-competition screening, followed by screening in France and other international franchises. It was shown in the Philippines last December 2015 and will aslo be in theatrical release in the US in March 2016.

The movie draws the original story with its characters, giving a new perspective with the memorable lines of the book. A expanded yet faithful role of the key characters of the book made it charming without exaggeration. Although, not everything in the book will be tackled, it got the right number of characters it needed to give justice to the plot.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Welcomes "Ant-Man"‏

When Marvel’s “Ant-Man” hits Philippine theaters on July 15, director Peyton Reed believes the movie will surprise audiences. “Ant-Man is an incredibly powerful character,” says Reed. “He can shrink down to a very tiny size and actually command armies of different types of ants. The great thing about the comics and the great thing about this story is you get to see what kinds of things a bunch of ants can get done and the interesting ways in which they can help Scott Lang aka Ant-Man.”

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.”

REEL DEAL: Ant-Man REVIEW

It has been very anticipated that aside from the mainstream Avenger heroes, fans would love  to have a stand alone film for them. The first big step on this one is Ant-Man. We have to admit that not everybody knows him, and it is good move for the Marvel Cinematic Universe to end its second phase.

Ant-Man brings the lives of scientist Hank Pym (Douglas) , his daughter Hope (Lilly) and Scott Lang (Rudd) on a mission to stop Pym's former protege Darren Cross in creating a dangerous power suit. Hank Pym has actually made an earlier suit and has chosen Scott as he has skill and intelligence that he admired. 

In the comics, Ant-Man is known to be one of the original founders of the Avengers which merits his place in the elite superhero team. For this movie, his involvement with the team will be revealed and a possible encounter with them. And like all Marvel movies, stay until all end credits and a there will be that clincher scene waiting for you.
