REEL DEAL: Bridget Jones' Baby REVIEW

We have fallen in love many time with the relate-able character of Bridget Jones which became a hit of that decade. And after a very long break from the last sequel, she is back after 14 years now with a new twist on their love triangle. From the title itself, Bridget Jones' Baby, reveals that it is high time for her to get knocked up and enjoy a new phase called motherhood, but with one problem, who is the father of the baby?

With Hugh Grant out of the picture in this film, Mr Darcy (Firth) still finds a love rival with Jack Qwant (Dempsey) who adds an American flavor to the British love story. And with the years that had passed, of course they tried to be relevant by incorporating the trends, technology which passed.

With a baby on the way, and another crisis in Bridget's life definitely it will be a riot with a lot of people behind her. The spectrum of characters here are getting interesting with old and new characters making a splash into the life of the hopeless romantic and vocally explicit Bridget Jones.

"Moana" Masters the Seas in Newly Launched Payoff Poster‏

Disney has just released the payoff poster for the new, seafaring animated adventure “Moana” starring Dwayne Johnson and Auli'i Cravalho. The film sails into Philippine cinemas Nov. 30.

Three thousand years ago, the greatest sailors in the world voyaged across the vast South Pacific, discovering the many islands of Oceania. But then, for a millennium, their voyages stopped – and no one today knows why.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes “Moana,” a sweeping, CG-animated adventure about a spirited teenager who sails out on a daring mission to prove herself a master wayfinder and fulfill her ancestors’ unfinished quest. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho) meets the once-mighty demi-god Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), and together, they traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous fiery creatures and impossible odds. The film is directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker (“The Little Mermaid,”, “Aladdin,” “The Princess & the Frog”) and produced by Osnat Shurer (“Lifted,” “One Man Band”).

“Moana” is distributed in the Philippines by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures through Columbia Pictures. Like us on Facebook, WaltDisneyStudiosPH; follow us on Twitter, @disney_phil; follow us on Instagram, @disney.ph and use the hashtag #MoanaPH.

While the international posters for Paramount Pictures' action-thriller “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” show both stars Tom Cruise and Cobie Smulders, the U.S. (or domestic) one-sheets aggressively sell Tom Cruise by his lonesome.

Tom Cruise returns as Jack Reacher with his particular brand of justice in the highly anticipated sequel. In the film, Major Susan Turner (Smulders) is the Army Major who heads Reacher’s old investigative unit. She is arrested for Treason and knowing that she is innocent, Reacher must break her out of prison and uncover the truth behind a major government conspiracy in order to clear their names and save their lives. On the run as fugitives from the law, Reacher uncovers a potential secret from his past that could change his life forever.

Tom Hanks, who returns in one of his signature roles playing the quick-thinking and resourceful Langdon, explains the attraction. "There is something Dan Brown has figured out – everybody likes a good puzzle, especially one you can actually figure out the clues to one at a time and solve,” he says. “These movies give that to the audience – it is almost an interactive film, and it has been like that since The Da Vinci Code.”
