REEL DEAL: Train To Busan REVIEW

Zombies everywhere! Well that is true enough in entertainment all around the world, and we are getting a littled tired of the undead. But comes into the scene a South Korean Film Train to Busan which was made by Next Entertainment World starring Gong Yoo and Kim Su-an.

But what is impressive about the movie is that it premiered during the Canne Film Festival along with the best films in the world. So it built a little intrigue for me if it does really deserve that spot in the festival. Although it was also proven by another thriller movie The Shallows" which also premiered in the festival as well.

So what is the deal with Korean Zombies? With all variations of zombies revealed in many movie, tv series, and comics, they came up with a theme that can ampify the horror. Put zombies on a moving train going south and the country is now in the brink of collapse. So the options and weapons to fight them are real close to nil.

An it was also a success with more than 80 Million US dollars in the box office. Initially I thought it would be similar to Wolrd War Z, but probably with the zombie swarm only but aside from that it delivered its charm like many Korean films.

Jenny Slate Lends Voice to Pomeranian in "The Secret Life of Pets"

After voicing for the sheep Bellwether in “Zootopia” – and before doing voice work as Harley Quinn in the upcoming “The LEGO Batman Movie” -- fast-rising actress Jenny Slate (“Obvious Child”) will be heard as a Pomeranian dog in Universal Pictures and Illumination's “The Secret Life of Pets,” opening in Philippine cinemas August 24.

Slate plays Gidget, a naïve, but gutsy Pomeranian who is 50% fluff, 110% tough, and a secret admirer of hero dog, Max.

In the film, Max (Louis C.K.), a quick-witted Terrier rescue who’s convinced he sits at the center of owner Katie’s universe, finds his pampered life turned upside down when she brings home Duke (Eric Stonestreet), a sloppy, massive mess of a mongrel with zero interpersonal skills. When this reluctant canine duo finds themselves out on the mean streets of New York, they have to set aside their differences and unite against a fluffy, yet cunning, bunny named Snowball, whose army of pets are out to turn the tables on humanity…all this and making it home before Katie returns at dinnertime.
