Teach Kids the Hapee Benefits of Brushing Regularly

We all know that children—like adults—should brush their teeth regularly to keep their pearly whites clean, but did you know that brushing has a slew of other benefits for your little one—and for you, as well? 

First, when kids have the habit of brushing after each meal, it means substantial savings for you. This is because regular care of teeth and gums prevents future oral problems, which in turn spares mom and dad from the costs of dental treatments. 

Daily brushing also inhibits the growth of bacteria in kids’ mouths, giving them fresh breath at all times. 

Having healthy teeth likewise ensures a stronger immune system for children because this enables them to eat more, chew better, and absorb more nutrients from the food they eat. 

Quirky Live-Action Director Tries Animation with "Sing"

While Illumination Entertainment CEO Chris Meledandri has primarily worked with filmmakers who began their careers in short-form animation, the studio's latest comedy Sing marks the first time he has partnered with a filmmaker from live action for an Illumination feature.

Meledandri, who was certain that writer-director Garth Jennings’ unique path would bring distinctive charm to the collaboration, states that their connection began long before Sing’s writer/director even knew it: “I fell in love with Garth’s independent film, Son of Rambow. I felt that he was such an authentic storyteller, and I loved that it was based on his own childhood as an amateur filmmaker.” As well, Jennings’ extensive experience directing music videos informed a curious perspective and grasp of the power of music in telling visual stories. “I had a hunch that Garth’s sensibility would be a perfect fit for this idea that’s preoccupied me.”

"Live by Night" Main Poster Confirms Affleck's Antihero Role

Warner Bros. Pictures has just revealed the payoff poster of the crime thriller Live by Night showing a gun-pointng Ben Affleck, all-suited up as a mobster. The tagline confirms that his character is an antihero: “Joe Was Once a Good Man.”

Check out the poster below and watch Live by Night when it opens in Philippine cinemas on January 18, 2017.

Aside from directing and acting on the film, Affleck wrote the screenplay, based on the award-winning best-seller by Dennis Lehane; it marks the second collaboration for the fellow Boston natives, following the acclaimed drama “Gone Baby Gone.”

What you put out into this world will always come back to you, but it never comes back how you predict. Taking fatherly advice is not in Joe Coughlin’s nature. Instead, the WWI vet is a self-proclaimed anti-establishment outlaw, despite being the son of the Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. Joe’s not all bad, though; in fact, he’s not really bad enough for the life he’s chosen. Unlike the gangsters he refuses to work for, he has a sense of justice and an open heart, and both work against him, leaving him vulnerable time and again—in business and in love. Driven by a need to right the wrongs committed against him and those close to him, Joe heads down a risky path that goes against his upbringing and his own moral code. Leaving the cold Boston winter behind, he and his reckless crew turn up the heat in Tampa. And while revenge may taste sweeter than the molasses that infuses every drop of illegal rum he runs, Joe will learn that it comes at a price.

How to Give Back Through Christmas Shopping

Holiday shopping for gifts can be more meaningful if it offers the giver a chance to share the spirit of the season with underprivileged children. For 6 years now, SM has been doing just that through its SM Cares Bears of Joy.

Every year during the Yuletide season, the Bears of Joy are offered as a dual-purpose gift idea to shoppers who wish to extend their blessings outside of the family and close friends through charity. For every purchase of the special edition SM cuddly teddy bear, another toy bear will be given to a child from a community where SM operates.

What makes this year’s Bears of Joy special is its new look that will make most people feel nostalgic. The new edition of SM’s bears bring back the charm of the classic brown, scruffy yet loveable teddy bear that grownups are more familiar with. In the same token, SM wishes to bring back that feeling of warmth that every child feels when they hug a Bear of Joy.

Last year, SM and its customers were able to give more than 16,000 Bears of Joy to 47 communities throughout the country. This year, the company wishes to share more through the generous participation of SM shoppers.
