Sanya And Derrick Goes Sexy And Sensual With "Wild And Free"

From doing cute and romantic roles, Sanya Lopez and Derrick Monasterio levels up their acting prowess with an explosive film by Regal Films called "Wild And Free." From the title itself, it already implied that the film will be daring and surprizing for fans and even movie goers. It was also shocking to see the first stills and trailer, it broke the usual image of the two but also know that with their looks and physique, they can confidently show their potential for roles like this.

Wild And Free comes as a game changer this year especially for Regal Films which has a majority of movie more inclined to comedy and love stories. Though this one also counts as a love story, their direction goes to a more mature path. Sanya is most known to play Danaya in the 2016's Encantandia, and now more active in more GMA shows like Haplos, Pepito Manaloto, and Inday Will Always Love You which Derrick is also part of. Derrick is also in the roster of GMA's hunk stars.  

Industry 4.0 Continues To Expand In Asia Pacific With Inaugural Industrial Transformation

With growing economies of the region, and most of them are growing very fast, the need to innovate and catch up with world industry standards is a must or the business would be left out in the global race. We were introduced with the concept of Industry 4.0 which is now being applied by major players in business.

Here in Asic-Pacific especially the South-East Asian region, there is much to know about it and how can it be applied to key industries for each country. This October, SingEx set ups the inaugural Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC, a Hannover Messe event, will take place in Singapore, the region’s thriving manufacturing hub, at Singapore EXPO from 16 to 18 October 2018.

Cinema One Originals 2018 Starts On October 12

Original. The word, and all its permutations, has been a significant part of the festival name for the last 13 years. Originality has always been the one thing Cinema One Originals has championed and pushed for.

“I Am Original” is the tagline of the 14th Cinema One Originals. It is both a declaration, by the filmmakers and the performers, and a promise, that this year’s films will not be merely awesome but rather flawsome, a word coined to exemplify this year’s festival. Originality is never about perfection. Perfection is boring. Originality is about freshness of voice, an unwavering sense of self and the uniqueness of being human, flawed but awesome.

A Star Is Born - Emotional Encounter Of Music And Movies

The wait for Lady Gaga to star in her starring role is indeed over with the perfect material for her, a story with music, stardom, and drama. A Star Is Born had been brought to many live in the past and now found its way to 2018 starring Mother Monster and Bradley Cooper. But let us take a moment to see that with his film, Lady Gaga completely sheds her pop star skin to grow a new kind of musical idol within her and owning it.

This film is also a first for Bradley Cooper for his directorial debut. He has been nominated for the Academy Awards as an actor, and there could be a possibility that this one could also get him a directorial nomination. The film feels like a complete album coming to life with all the love, heartbreaks, struggles, passion, and some profanity along the way. 

Basically the gist of the story is boy meets girl, fell in love, made music together, girl becomes more famous than guy then it can now progress into more complicated and darker things after that. Even though I haven't seen one of past remakes, this one proved to be worthy of rich music that transcends into many genres and styles.

Venom - Did The Symbiote Spin-Off Spun Well?

As we still await the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we can  take a look on the characters still under the Marvel mantel particularly the symbiote series which features the anti-hero Venom. Though we have seen him in Spider-Man 3, this spin-off franchise is getting mixed feeling for both fans and viewers.

For this version, Tom Hardy takes on the role of Eddie Brock who is an investigative journalist who is out to discover the secrets of the Life Foundation headed by Carton Drake. As he tries to dig deep further into the mysterious company, he gets webbed in to a more complicated mess and eventually got to be the host of one of the symbiotes.

It was made clear that they are not linked to the current MCU, but the vast characters that can be derived from it gave it the structure to build its own universe. However there are some problems we saw along the way. One of them are continuity problems that are quite forgivable but maybe an eyesore for the observant eye.

Experience the Impossible Journey to the Moon in "First Man"

Based on James R. Hansen’s book “First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong,” Universal Pictures’ First Man reveals intimate insights into the global hero’s private life and previously unknown character-defining moments.  

Oscar-winning director Damien Chazelle (La La Land) approached the film from interior angles in order to immerse audiences in this impossible journey.  

Chazelle’s fascination with the messiness of mastery drew him to Armstrong’s story.  As well, his interest in injecting into a massive period movie—one filled with action set-pieces—a genuine sense of raw spontaneity felt like a natural evolution.  While the director admits that type of filmmaking is usually impossible within the constraints imposed by scale or big technical effects, he felt that a tight collaboration with Ryan Gosling—extending to their bond with their fellow production team—would make it feasible.

A Director is Born: Bradley Cooper Soars as He Takes the Helm

Four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper makes his directorial debut with Warner Bros. Pictures’ A Star Is Born.  

In this new take on the iconic love story, Cooper and Lady Gaga fuse their considerable talents to depict the raw and passionate tale of Jack and Ally, two artistic souls coming together, on stage and in life.  Theirs is a complex journey through the beauty and the heartbreak of a relationship struggling to survive.

Cooper portrays seasoned musician Jackson Maine, who discovers and falls in love with struggling artist Ally.  She has given up on her dream to become a successful singer, until she meets Jack, who immediately sees her natural talent.
