REEL DEAL: Rise of the Guardians - Chris Pine SPOTLIGHT

Chris Pine as Jack Frost

Chris Pine who has emerged as one of Hollywood’s hottest young actors, is currently shooting “Jack Ryan,” slated for a December 2013 release, assuming the mantle of the Tom Clancy action hero previously portrayed on film by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck. This holiday season Chris Pine provides the voice of the character of Jack Frost , a ghostly blue and white 14-year-old boy with no memory of his past apart from waking up one night floating in a frozen lake.

“They know Jack as a troublemaker, as this immature kind of guy,” says director Peter Ramsey, and by all appearances, he is. Jack is a 300-year-old prankster in a 17-year-old body, with the power to create frost, wind and snow.  Happiest when he’s causing havoc, controlling winter with a swing, tap or touch of his staff, to him, a successful day is measured by how many snowballs he’s thrown, how many windows have been fogged and how many schools have closed after it’s been declared a snow day. He has no responsibilities, no one to answer to, and ultimately, at least in his mind, no purpose.

EVENTOLOGY: Vista Land Valenza Homeowners Give Back to The Children of SOS Foundation

Christmas might still be a weeks away but it does not mean the spirit of giving has to wait. Last November 26, 2011 we went to one of the eclusive properties of Crown Asia located in Sta Rosa City, VALENZA. And on the facade of the property you can already see the Christmas decoration with a life-sized nativity scene and of course Christmas lights and poinsettias.  But its not just that we were there for. We came to witness a early Christmas celebration with the residents of Valenza, contractors and the children from SOS Foundation.
