REEL DEAL: Breakout Actress Melissa McCarthy in "The Heat"

FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) – the Fed – and Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) – the Fuzz – couldn’t be more incompatible. But when they join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies. 

At the helm of “The Heat” is Paul Feig, the movie takes a look at the odd couple pairing of two law enforcement officials who, to their everlasting shock, slowly find themselves on the same page.  The Ashburn-Mullins dynamic is akin to that eternal physics problem about an irresistible force meeting an immovable object.  Only, here, it’s hard to tell who is which.   Ashburn is ambitious, talented, brainy, and possesses Sherlock Holmes-like powers of deduction and intuition.  She’s always the smartest person in the room, and isn’t shy about letting everyone know it.  Mullins grew up on the streets of Boston, and has a shoot-from-the-hip (and mouth) style of dealing with crime and its perpetrators.  She’s the “yang” to Ashburn’s “yin.”

Unisilver Time Launches collection with new Ambasaadors

With the launch of the Philippine Standard Time (PST) the need for efficient time pieces would be  an advantage to keep everthing in place and in time. Unisilver Time, known for their wide array of watches goes another step further with a lot of new styles and also new Ambassadors for the brand.

If we think watches would just take a portion of a catalouge, now I was amazed with their own catalouge with watches from start to end. Probably hundreds of choices of both clockwork and digital types and some made with elegance, stylish design and some with added features and functions.

BLAH BLAH BLOGS: Anong Pake Mo Sa Kalayaan?

Siguro dumaan din sa iyong kamalayan

kung gaano kahalaga ang ating kalayaan

Kalayaan kung saan tayo umunlad at mapayapa

Siya ring kalayaan na natuto tayong umasa

kung ang bayan natin ay sadlak pa rin sa digmaan

patuloy  ang hidwaan at di pagkakaunawaan

kay dami nang dugong dumanak at dumaan

REEL DEAL: World War Z SPOTLIGHT

"Great Panic" begins as the Zombie Pandemic spreads 

by Emy Abuan

Through a series of oral interviews, Brooks, as an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission, describes the history of 'World War Z'. Although the origin of the zombie pandemic is unknown, the story begins in China where a young boy becomes the pandemic's "patient zero"—(implied not the first victim chronologically), at which the Chinese government attempts to contain the infection and concocts a crisis involving Taiwan to mask their activities. The infection is spread to other countries by the black market organ trade and by refugees, before an outbreak brings the plague to public attention. As the infection spreads, Israel initiates a nationwide quarantine and closes its borders to everyone except uninfected Jews and Palestinians, putting down an ultra-Orthodox uprising. Pakistan and Iran destroy each other in a nuclear war after the Iranian government attempts to stem the flow of refugees fleeing through Pakistan.
