Kristoffer Martin supports ‘friend’ Joyce Ching’s transition to more daring roles

Several weeks ago, kapuso teen actress Joyce Ching shocked viewers when she agreed to do a daring role in an episode of the drama anthology program “Magpakailanman” entitled “Pakawalang Anghel.” While the episode’s high ratings could mean that Joyce’s fans are now ready to accept the actress’ new image, could it also mean that it’s alright with Joyce’s rumored boyfriend, teen actor Kristoffer Martin?

In an interview with Kristoffer on the set of the primetime series, “Pahiram ng Sandali” where he stars, the young actor said that although he had reservations when Joyce informed him about the role, he did not try to convince her to reconsider her decision.  In fact, he said, he assured her of his all-out support.

REEL DEAL: A Good Day To Die Hard REVIEW

Bruce Wilis is back and still not dying even after 25 years of the iconic Die Hard series which have four movies and now back this new action-packed movie now featuring his son Jack (Jai Courtney) in A Good Day To Die Hard.

This would be the 5th movie in the series where John McClane (Bruce Willis) return to hard core action even after 25 year and finds himself in the foreign city of Moscow. Being a first timer and tourist in Russia. And as much he would like to stay out of trouble, it still finds him and his son as they both stop a possible nuclear warfare.

Expect a lot of explosions, gune fire, and more explosions for this movie as it would still keep up to the promise of providing high octane action with firearms and and with physical fights. Now McClane will have to survive  an unknown terrain and without his friend by his side by his son who works a secret agent.

But even with his situation, indeed we would expect John to do the unexpected, move mountains and even dive into the unknown just to bring people to justice.

REEL DEAL: Flight REVIEW

I have never rode a (flying) airplane, but movies showed me how does it feel to fly up in the sky thousands of feet above the ground. I actually feel nervous when things get off the ground, and that's just even with carnival rides, what if something goes haywire while flying in the stratosphere? 


Denzel Washington's movie Flight will bring viewers in a journey up in the heavens and even on the ground which is filled with drama, controversy, conflicts, and even national issues. Flight shares the story of an ill-fated passenger plane which broke down in mid-air and is heading for a free fall. William Whitaker (Denzel) or Whip is the captain of the plane does the unlikely move to invert the plane and made an emergency landing saving a lot of lives. Yet controversy follows after he is accused of drinking alcohol before the flight.

The event leads to a very complicated turn of events and an encounter with unlikely characters which most would be his friends and also his enemies. The movie is made with a lot of human strengths, struggles and weaknesses. Even for non-fliers like me, have felt the nerve wracking feel of falling from the sky and getting in between the pressures of the job and life itself.
