Streetdancers clash in ‘Move It’ epic grand battle this Sunday

Four solo movers and five dance crews take the streetdance battle to the final level as they clash at the adrenaline-pumping and high-energy epic finale of Philippine TV’s first-ever streetdance competition, ‘Move It! Clash Of The Streetdancers’,  this Sunday (April 26), 8:00PM on TV5.

Job, Anykka, Dhztine and RJ proved that they were Move It’s best-of-the-best after battling against six other solo movers --  matinee idols and celebrity dancers John Wayne Sace and Sergio Garcia, commercial model Charlotte Hermoso, TV5’s very own Chris Leonardo, Wowowillie back-up dancer Lovely Abella and Mocha Girl Anne Sotelo. Each week, they were assigned different performance themes which explored the different genres and dancing styles in hip-hop and streetdance. The said themes proved their versatility as dancers and their mastery over their craft.

REEL DEAL: Will Ferrell Get tough For Adult Comedy "GET HARD"

Will Ferrell is going to prison—not the comedy legend of “Anchorman,” “Zoolander,” and TV’s “Saturday Night Live” fame, but his latest incarnation—James, a hedge fund manager facing hard time in San Quentin prison on fraud charges—in the outrageous and satirical new comedy “Get Hard” from Warner Bros.

Directed by Etan Cohen, the film pairs Ferrell with comedy phenom Kevin Hart (“The Grudge Match,” “The Wedding Ringer”), who plays the family man and small time entrepreneur the clueless millionaire assumes to be a thug and offers cold, hard cash to teach him how to survive behind bars. The closest Darnell has ever been to prison is seeing it on TV, but he’s no fool—he takes the money—and devises increasingly ridiculous ways to prep James for his impending hard time. Along the way, the unlikely team forges a friendship that will challenge their most basic – and hilariously off-base – pre-conceptions about so many things, including each other.

REEL DEAL: Downet Feels “AGE OF ULTRON” Marks End of Era, Start of New

Fan-favorite Robert Downey Jr. reprises his seminal portrayal of Tony Stark/Iron Man for the fifth time in Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” In Marvel’s “The Avengers” Tony Stark struggled to become a team player and in “Iron Man 3” audiences saw him transcend his dependency on the tech that was keeping him alive. So where does he go now?

To Downey Jr., the answer is simple: “There’s all this unfinished business. There’s the matter of a certain wormhole that opened over New York and the imminent threat that still implies, so Tony has turned his attentions more toward a bit of a post-Reagan-era, Star-Wars-type notion and he likes to call it Ultron.”
