REEL DEAL: "COMET To Hit Philippines This February

“A beautifully rendered experience that excels on nearly every level”  Awards Circuit

Following the success of the Adam Levine-Kiera Knightley starrer Begin Again, Solar Pictures brings to local cinemas “COMET”-- a cosmic love story that is sure to leave audiences with that warm February feeling.

“Comet,” stars Golden Globe nominee Emmy Rossum (“The Day After Tomorrow,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Mystic River”) and Justin Long (“Live Free or Die Hard,” “He’s Just Not That Into You”).

“Comet” is an original modern love story that follows Kimberly (Rossum) and Dell (Long), who first meet at the Hollywood cemetery where they’ve both come to watch a meteor shower.

Kimberly is brilliant and beautiful; Dell is nerdy and pessimistic, but with an incredibly sharp mind and direct manner. While she and he are not a natural pair, they are cosmically drawn to each other and, under a night sky, luminous with falling stars, they begin their epic love story.

REEL DEAL: MINUSCULE : Valley of the Lost Ants

In a peaceful little clearing, the remains of a picnic hastily abandoned spark warfare between two tribes of ants. A bold young ladybug finds himself caught in the middle of the battle. He befriends one of the black ants, Mandible, and helps him save the anthill from the assault of the terrible red ant warriors, led by the fearful Butor. A fantastic journey at ground level…

On the tube, “Minuscule” unspooled in tight, 6-minute episodes, as CG(computer generated) insects went about their modest adventures amidst the French countryside. Now at feature length, the approach of directors Thomas Szabo and Helene Giraud always managed with modest, yet effective animation, nicely complimented by lush cinematography (lensed in Provence) and a sweet score that’s anything but antic.

REEL DEAL: "A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES" Another Hit Suspense Thriller Starring Liam Neeson

Based on the best-selling mystery book series by Lawrence Block, this action-packed film follows the unorthodox, recovering alcoholic and ex-NYPD cop Matthew Scudder, after he reluctantly agrees to help find the men who kidnapped and brutally murdered a drug kingpin’s wife.

During the investigation, Scudder learns that the killers are deviants who make a habit of committing twisted crimes, and he vows to hunt them down, even though it means blurring the fine dividing line between right and wrong.

Matt gets help from his former colleague played by Ruth Wilson and a homeless 17-year artist, TJ (Astro). In a race against time, he tries to stop them before they get the chance to kill again. Unlicensed and operating just outside the law, Matt Scudder stops just short of becoming a monster himself. The cast of A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES include Liam Neeson as Matthew Scudder, Dan Stevens, Boyd Holbrook, Ruth Wilson, Sebastian Roché, Whitney Able, Stephanie Andujar, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, David Harbour, Eric Nelsen, Marielle Heller and Brian "Astro" Bradley. A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES is directed by Scott Frank and is distributed by Solar Pictures. Coming soon at your favorite theaters.

REEL DEAL: Kiera Knightley Takes On Adam Levine

Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine may have won several Grammy Awards, sold millions of albums worldwide and judged the hit TV series The Voice, but in the movie BEGIN AGAIN, he gets upstaged as the spotlight turns to actress Kiera Knightley.

“I’ve never done anything like this,” admits Knightley who is best known for her costume dramas and period films such as “Pride & Prejudice,” and “Atonement,” as well as the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

“My character has pretty much died in everything I’ve done for the last five years,” she jokes. “I decided I’d like to do something where I didn’t have to go through heavy emotional turmoil and die, if at all possible.  There’s a touch of emotional turmoil in this, but in the end I found it to be incredibly hopeful. It’s rare to find pieces of work that are so full of hope.”

REEL DEAL" Adam Levine Makes Film Debut In "BEGIN AGAIN"

Although he’s no stranger to the camera, having been a coach on the NBC show “The Voice” for several seasons, and making his small screen acting debut on the hit FX Drama “American Horror Story,” music star ADAM LEVINE has never tried dramatic acting until he was approached by John Carney to be part of the upcoming movie “Begin Again.”

“I was honored just to be asked, and right off the bat I fell in love with the script.  To have John believe in me is really exciting,” says Levine.  “John saw something in me that was this character Dave– whether that is flattering or not, I can’t tell, but I would not have considered doing a film unless I was really connected to the material.  I love John’s tone – he is a musician, and I think his sensibilities are those of a musician so we get along famously.”
