REEL DEAL: Ultron Hell Bent On Human Extinction In "AVENGERS" Sequel

In Marvel's “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the Super Hero dream team must reassemble in order to stop the terrifying technological villain Ultron who's hell-bent on human extinction.

The decision to give Ultron his day in the sun as the villain of the film was always Joss Whedon’s first choice despite the end sequence in Marvel’s “The Avengers,” which featured the character of Thanos. The writer/director explains, “For me Thanos was always meant to be in the 3rd Avengers movie because he really is a god,” explains Whedon. “He is like a supreme being of evil and for me it was the cosmic cube because I’m really old; for some people it was the infinity gauntlet, but the great crossovers were usually Thanos-based and he made everybody’s lives miserable. And so the idea that he was the prime mover behind all of this just seemed natural.”

REEL DEAL: “CHILD 44” Based On The Crimes Of Real-Life Seriak Killer Andrei Chikatilo

A sumptuous period thriller encompassing themes of power, love, betrayal and murder, “Child 44” is novelist Tom Rob Smith’s fictionalized version of the grisly case that was met with resounding critical and popular acclaim upon publication in 1998.  Real-life serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, also known as “The Butcher of Rostov,” was convicted of murdering and mutilating 52 women and children in Soviet Russia in the early 1950s.

Winner of the Crime Writers Association’s CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award and translated into 26 languages, “Child 44” became the first in a trilogy that now includes “The Secret Speech” and “Agent 6.”   “The great thing about detective stories and police investigations is they soak up a lot of the society in which they take place,” Smith says. “If you want to understand a world, take a look at the way the police work in that country.”

Bosch gives back to loyal customers in the Bosch Big Time Pa-Premyo promo

Focusing on customers is an important part of the Bosch culture -- that means understanding their needs & tailoring products to them. This is what has fuelled Bosch’s success over the last 128 years, and in the Philippines where Bosch Power Tools enjoys a sizeable share of the market, their customers always take center stage.

Such was the case for budding repairman and autoshop owner Tyron Coralde, whose recent purchases of Bosch Cordless Drill and Orbital Sander for his home projects, set him up for a Big Time Bosch experience. In line with Bosch’s Big Time Pa-Premyo promo, representatives from the world leader in portable electronic power tools and accessories staged a surprise awarding ceremony for Tyron at his shop in Paranaque. Tyron is now the proud owner of a brand new Toyota Wigo.

Often spending his time watching Bosch Power Tools’ home improvement tutorials on the internet and with his Big Time purchases, Tyron can now personally attest to Bosch’s promise of performance, power and comfort. “Bosch is the perfect tool for my projects. It’s very versatile, so I can use it in under any condition,” Coralde said. “I know these tools will not disappoint. Salamat sa Bosch for this wonderful surprise.”

In doing so, she hopes to land her crush Toby (Nick Eversman), and find the confidence to overthrow the school’s ruthless label maker Madison (Bella Thorne) by reminding everyone that no matter what people look or act like, we are all someone’s DUFF…and that’s totally fine.

REEL DEAL: Furious 7 REVIEW

I'm excited when after Fast 6 is that they will have Furious 7 which we wanted to be filmed here in the Philippines when they went here for the Asian premiere. Unfortunately Paul Walker got into a car accident during a fund raising event for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. A gesture that touched his fans here and made his name immortal with his role. Now with Fast and Furious 7 shows here, it will be the last time we will see him and many are curious how his last ride will be.

And it was indeed another festival of cars, lots of them. And in the tradition of the series, it will involve explosions, crashes, races, and technology. Coming for the crew is the "big bad brother" Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) who is after revenge for his fallen brother, Owen Shaw. There is another dilemma with the involvement of another terror group after a highly valued hostage.

The value of family beyond friendship still persist as the driving motivation for the gang with the demise of Han in Tokyo, they become the hunted with lives on the line. Ronda Rousney also makes an on screen debut with what she does best, fighting. It was pretty emotional with the tribute for Paul brought tears to everyone's eyes including mine.

Furious 7 is now showing in cinemas. Distributed by United International Pictures.
