"Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" Stampedes Into PH Cinemas June 6

Don’t look now, but Philippine moviegoers are in for special treat as Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom opens in cinemas nationwide on June 6 -- sixteen days earlier than most territories around the world, including North America.

This only demonstrates that the Philippines is a highly regarded market by Hollywood studios. In particular, the early bow of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in Manila is Universal Pictures’ way of thanking local fans for their overwhelming support for the first Jurassic World in 2015, one of the biggest-grossing films of all-time in Philippine history.

Live show aficionados will get a kick and a rush of nostalgia on July 27 8pm at the Theatre at Solaire when Grand Leisure Corporation brings Willie Nepomuceno and Nonoy Zuñiga together in “Music and Laughter.”  

Two of the most formidable names in their respective fields of entertainment, the Man with the Many Faces and Voices Willie Nepomuceno and Pop icon and OPM hitmaker Nonoy Zuñiga have done shows together outside of the country but “Music and Laughter” marks the first time that Nepomuceno and Zuñiga will headline a concert together in Manila.

Asian Americans Call for a Movement To Represent in Hollywood

“I feel sometimes so frustrated because it’s like the rest of America is more advanced than what we see on our screen.” – Veena Sud

The statement as reported by Variety from Veena Sud, the creator of the AMC American crime drama TV series, “The Killing”, whose premiere ranked as the second-highest original series premiere for AMC, was as realistic as it could get:

“As a showrunner, I can pitch any story, but if it doesn’t sell it doesn’t get on the air. So I can go ahead and pitch every Filipino [or] Indian story known on the face of the Earth, but if it doesn’t sell, it doesn’t matter. And so there is a radical sea-change necessary, not only in our group represented here but in the entire industry,” Sud said.

Book Club - When Old Ladies Discover Fifty Shades

Books may not be popular today but friendship and family does. But what happens when you bring together four elderly women meeting regularly then they came across 50 Shades Of Grey as their book of the week? We have a interesting yet small Book Club that will release their inner goddesses and will try to change their lives. 

The film cast includes four Oscar winners: Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Mary Steenburgen, and Richard Dreyfuss; and two Oscar nominees: Candice Bergen and Andy Garcia. Thus it can be expected that they won't disappoint in their roles.  Interestingly many of the actors have worked together in many projects yet after years of decades, they found themselves working together again, example of which are Andy Garcia and Diane Keaton were part of The Godfather.

The film takes on a sexy-comedy at some parts yet it does not follow the pattern of exaggeration done by other films. This brings realism to the movie and makes them similar to real life women of their age. It's like a family movie, with some parts not for kids. This is most likely perfect for Titas or Lolas who will relate to some of its throwback joke references.
