Anytime Fitness, the fastest growing health club franchise in the world, took part in this year’s Philippine Franchise Exhibition at the SMX Mall of Asia, looking to find strategic franchisee partners to take part in its exciting expansion in the Philippines and Pan-Asia.

Since its founding in Minnesota in 2002, Anytime Fitness has been the world’s largest, and fastest growing 24 hour, co-ed fitness club franchise with over 3000 gyms in 23 countries around the world. Since opening its first branch in Pioneer Center, Mandaluyong last September, Anytime has opened two more gyms in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig and New Manila, Quezon City. Within the next 12 months, Anytime Fitness plans to open 12 more gyms around Metro Manila. Ranked the world’s #1 franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine for 2014, Anytime Fitness has knocked franchise icons such as Subway, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut off the top spot with its proposition of 24-hour community based gym facilities.

REEL DEAL: Inside Out REVIEW

We love Pixar-Disney Movies, they make the most innovative and engaging animations for our generation. They have taken us to places from the earth and even beyond. This year they did not need to go far, as they venture into the story of the little voices in our heads with INSIDE OUT.

Emotions makes us human, and putting a personality with these emotions makes them interesting to watch. The main emotional characters here are Joy (Poehler), Sadness (Smith), DIsgust (Kailing), Anger (Black), and Fear (Hader).  They are currently working inside a girl named Riley, who with her family moved to San Francisco as his dad got a new job there. Adjusting to the new place was hard for her, and from there things get emotional. 

Directed by Pete Docter, and Produced by Jonas Rivera. Story by Pete Docter Ronnie del Carmen. Starring Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Richard Kind, Kaitlyn Dias, Diane Lane, and  Kyle MacLachlan. The movie was already shown in the US last June and was a big hit, and even got high reviews from rating websites and critics.

"Black Mass" Main Trailer Advises `Keep Your Enemies Close'‏

The main poster and new trailer of Warner Bros.' new gangster thriller “Black Mass” starring Johnny Depp have just been launched by the studio. Watch the trailer here at https://youtu.be/qZsUk739uqI.

The film is based on the book Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob, about the infamous gangster Whitey Bulger. The film stars Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger and Joel Edgerton (“The Great Gatsby”) as FBI Agent John Connolly. The film is directed by of Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart”).

In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob.

Rebecca Ferguson Whips Up a Storm in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation"

While “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation” brings together the best and the brightest of the IMF in hot pursuit of The Syndicate, the film also bring several new faces into Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) world. Most notably, Hunt meets Ilsa Faust, a woman who literally takes him by storm, with savvy and skills that rival his own.

To play Ilsa, the femme fatale who reverses the tables on Hunt, the filmmakers chose a relative unknown: Rebecca Ferguson, who hails from Sweden, and was recently seen in “Hercules.” She won the role in part because she was a total surprise, says director Christopher McQuarrie. “When I first saw Rebecca on tape, she was 180 degrees from what I thought I was looking for. But Tom and I just looked at each other and said, ‘that’s her.’ Immediately we saw that she had the energy we wanted – she was independent, elegant, full of grace and maturity,” the director observes. “We called her in to read with Tom and they instantly clicked. Everyone just stood back and watched the chemistry.”
