There are probably more reasons to laugh than to scream in Adolf Alix Jr-helmed horror movie, “Chain Mail.” That’s judging the sweep of chuckles you’re probably going to hear once you’ve stepped into the theater. The real danger in this new offering from VIVA films will surely pale in comparison to the imminence of its terribly-flawed and executed screenplay, and the horrors that come in the wake of its failure to provide hair-raising creeps are much scarier than the film itself. It all begins with a chain e-mail forwarded to a group people, promising its receiver an immense luck if…

In the final episode of the series, Sophie’s (Janella’s) strength and faith in G (God) will be put to test as she joins her sister Anne (Yen Santos) in her battle against lupus.

Coming at the heels of its commercially-successful predecessor, “The Fault in Our Stars,” “Paper Towns” is no heavy tearjerker, but it echoes more affectionate and piercing sentiments, with its lighter, minimalist take of its recognizable subjects. The film follows Quentin (Nat Wolff) , or “Q” as he is more popularly called, a highschool boy who has been nursing an unrequited love for the girl living next door, Margo (Cara Delevigne) since childhood. Even after when they turn 12, when Margo suddenly becomes distant, “Q” never loses the affection, and it only becomes even stronger when one day she climbs again to…
Claudine Barretto and Jolina Magdangal both started as queens of ABS-CBN. Back in the 90’s, they were lauded as the next Vilma Santos, Sharon Cuneta with Judy Ann Santos as their generation’s Nora Aunor, the superstar. But things turned out differently with these three queens of TV. While Juday kept her popularity, she focused on her motherhood and changed niche as she tried hosting – something that she skillfully did as her stint was successful. She became the host of Master Chef Philippines and Bet on Your Baby. She did films and teleseryes every so often but she left the primetime scene with the younger talents…

To help the public get prepared for the possibility of a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, ABS-CBN TVplus has partnered with the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) for the metro-wide earthquake drill on July 30. During the…

ABS-CBN’s newest drama series “Ningning” is all set to brighten and show the beauty of life to TV viewers as the upcoming show inspires everybody to hope, dream, believe and love starting on Monday (July 27). Kapamilya child actress Jana Agoncillo will portray the character in the series, which is from the makers of the hit daytime series “Be Careful With My Heart” and “Oh My G.” From her remarkable portrayal in the charming drama series “Dream Dad,” Jana will now give life to the character of Ningning a cheerful little girl who is full of hope, dreams, and love…
Paramount Pictures’ new action-thriller “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” the fifth installment of the series, redefines the term impossible. It’s something the film franchise has been doing since its box-office busting start two decades ago: with each new film, the team led by dedicated star and producer Tom Cruise has uncovered ways to match, then exceed, audience expectations, each time in different ways. Having begun as a cult phenomenon on 1960s television, “Mission: Impossible” has become a 21st Century cultural phenomenon – a filmmaking event that consistently pushes that border where the classic drama of spy-versus-spy intrigue meets creative action…

It can now be told! Two GMA Primetime series “Let The Love Begin” and “The Rich Man’s Daughter” will say goodbye on TV on August 7. “Let The Love Begin” starring Ruru Madrid and Ai-Ai delas Alas obviously did not get any extension from the bosses. The series which started on May 4 did not get any single win from its rival shows – from “Forevermore” to “Pangako Sa ‘Yo.” Despite the powerhouse cast support for the loveteam GabRu, it’s still not enough to attract more viewers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3REkpQa8IBM Meanwhile, “The Rich Man’s Daughter” topbilled by Glaiza de Castro and Rhian Ramos failed to reproduce the success…
Valeen Montenegro will be part of the newest Kapuso variety show “Sunday Pinas Saya” produced by TAPE Inc. The Kapatid star is the newest import from TV5 to be part of this variety show to be topbilled by Marian Rivera and Ai-Ai delas Alas with Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola. I don’t know why of all the stars, TAPE Inc. chose her as one of the hosts while there are many Kapuso talents who will soon be jobless since most of them, “Sunday All Stars” is their only regular show. Well, I don’t know what they’re thinking but I hope…
New Line Cinema’s horror thriller “The Gallows” introduces young actor Reese Mishler as a high school jock who has a secret crush on a classmate that he’s trying to hide, if not all that well. When asked to join the cast of the play ‘The Gallows’—by the very object of his affection, Pfeifer—the opportunity to spend time with her in rehearsals, eventually culminating in an on-stage kiss, is too tempting to turn down for the admittedly shy football star. Director Chris Lofing offers, “Reese is a jock, but he’s an unassuming guy, very different from his obnoxious friend, Ryan. He…
Comedy-concert Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas will be leading the new show titled “Sunday Pinas Saya,” together with Jose Manalo & Wally Bayola, Joey Paras, Alden Richards, Julie Anne San Jose and Marian Rivera- Dantes. “Sunday Pinas Saya” is now GMA Network’s bet to rival the unbeatable “ASAP” for 20 years. Talking about “Sunday Pinas Saya,” Ai-Ai is very proud to be part of this new show under TAPE Inc., the producer behind “Eat Bulaga” and “The Ryzza Mae Show.” Ai-Ai exclaimed, “Sure na sure ako, neng, na magandang-maganda ang show. Comedy based siya, so, expect the unexpected. Riot tiyak ito.” Ai-Ais’ new show will…
Right from the beginning, Russel Crowe’s directorial debut, “The Water Diviner,” is already sweeping with unfathomable amount of emotions, gathering affection the moment it flashes grim representations of war and what follows at its heels. From there, it treads through compassionate subjects of ambitious scale, stumbling upon its own entanglements at times, but gets saved by towering affectionate performances from its actors. The film follows the story of miraculous farmer (he knows where to find water underneath the arid earth) Joshua Connor (Crowe), whose three sons were sent to the war in Turkey. Years later and none of them has…
