Dax Shepard Vows to Serve and Bro-Tect in "CHIPS"

Dax Shepard (The Judge, This is Where I Leave You) capably multi-tasks as actor, producer, writer and director of Warner Bros. Pictures' new adult action comedy CHIPS.

Shepard plays Jon Baker, the oldest rookie to ever join the California Highway Patrol, CHP for short. As his supervisor points out, Baker may not seem like an obvious candidate for the job—that is, until his fellow recruits see him ride.

Clearly, “The Baker” is still a force to content with on the road, but, says Shepard, “As an X-Games motocross competitor he had sponsors and fans; he had the money and the glory and the great life. That’s all over now. He’s had about 20 surgeries, broken a lot of bones, and he’s not in the best physical shape. He’s in a transition period.”

REEL DEAL: Bhoy Instik REVIEW

In the recent Sinag Maynila Film Festival 2017, there has been buzz about one of the film entries which included in the festival. Directed by Joel Lamangan, Bhoy Instik prides itself with a cast of great actors, a unique story and movie experience for its viewers.

Leading the cast is Raymond "RS" Francisco, one of well known commercial directors and also the Presdient of Frontrow International, plays Bhoy Instik who is a gay con man with a mysterious past. Ronwaldo Martin (Coco Martin's brother) plays  Marlon who is also a con man who cross paths with Bhoy which led to both of them getting involved in crime together.

Being criminals, their actions is unacceptable, however they also have their own redeeming moments with the reasons why they do it and how they were led to their predicament. They also got involved with the big time criminals who are on the higher food chain.

With the name like "Bhoy" I would associate it to gangs and mobsters like Boy Tumbling, Boy Golden and Asiong Salonga, Bhoy Instik is a new face in the modern world which many can relate to. The issue of drugs and extra judicial killings are also inserted into the plot which has been relevant to current events.
