Flores De Mayo Celebrated Fabulously in Ermita-Malate

The  tradition of Santacruzan is one of the highlights of the month of May. And as many of us have their own version of the parade which has become a part of our culture. We can see many of them in town and cities, but it has been taken to another level in the Malate-Ermita district of Manila.

Known to be the top business and tourism part of the city of Manila, and where you can also see famous landmarks such as the Manila Hotel, Rizal Park, Remedios Circle, and Baywalk, we can say it is a business and leisure center. And for the second year, led by EMBOA (Ermita Malate Business Owners Association), they hosted Paseo de Malate - Flores De Ermita.

Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard) and his wife, Jane (Margot Robbie) join the ranks of the mighty apes in the newly released main one-sheet for “The Legend of Tarzan.” 

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures comes the action adventure “The Legend of Tarzan,” starring Alexander Skarsgård (HBO’s “True Blood”) as the legendary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Jackson (the “Captain America” films), Margot Robbie (“The Wolf of Wall Street,” upcoming “Suicide Squad”), Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou (“Gladiator”), with Oscar winner Jim Broadbent (“Iris”), and two-time Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (“Django Unchained”).

"We're the Millers" Director Back with "Central Intelligence"‏

With the hit comedies “Dodgeball” and “We’re the Millers” to his credit, Rawson Marshall Thurber, director of Universal Pictures' new action comedy “Central Intelligence,” was looking to expand his filmmaking repertoire by incorporating a run of action in his next film.

“I’ve loved action movies my whole life and I’ve been wanting to make one since I was about, oh, eight years old,” Thurber says. “This has been a lot of fun.”

“Rawson really understands tone and timing,” Kevin Hart says. “It’s not just the rhythm of the action, it’s how everything meshes. The segues are seamless, the writing is smart, and there were small moments that we were allowed to make big moments because we had a great cast to work with and Rawson gave us the room to play.”

This June, writer/director/producer James Wan seeks to terrify moviegoers once again with his depiction of another highly publicized case involving the real-life horrors experienced by paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren with “The Conjuring 2.”
