TUHOG is not your expected plot

TUHOG as used as a word in the Philippine vernacular may sound a little not right but a movie entitled with this is ready to change your perception, not just with the word, but with life.
starring Eugene Domingo, Leo Martinez, Enchong Dee, Jake Cuenca and Empress, TUHOG reveals to us that each person is connected with one another and a realization that anything may happen in life and we should learn how to appreciate every time that we have.
each actor also lives by their own mantras about life and admittedly living it up to this day. they serve as inspirations to live every day in a positive outlook and never fails to pray.

the actors also appreciated the way their director, Veronica Velasco, made the treatment to this movie. making sure that all scenes were shot according to her preferences. a well-executed movie that took a lot of patience for every person involved. not only as a movie to sell, but with a lesson to learn by this Cinemalaya awardee.

don't miss this movie on July 17 in theaters. for more information about TUHOG, you may follow Star Cinema on Twitter and like them on Facebook.

THE HEAT movie review

when two agents clash on their operation tactics to take on a drug syndicate, you can imagine how some actions will be chaotic. but for FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock), her immersion in the ghetto with a local officer, Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), would be the most successful and respectable tandem ever.
in THE HEAT, FBI Agent Sarah Ashburn and Boston police officer Mullins are two women that were ridiculed by their own offices but were very efficient in their own fields. the uniformed Ashburn meets the commonality of Mullins in the Boston neighborhood which Ashburn finds difficult to blend in. Ashburn sees how Mullins take on cases until a very sensitive instance has to be dealt by her ways. her strategies and tactics takes on justice but careful to compromise the new-found friendship.
Sandra Bullock (Ashburn) and Melissa McCarthy (Mullins)
THE HEAT is indeed a very funny movie and funnier after you see the trailer. Melissa McCarthy is the person to watch out for punch lines and i think brought the light on this flick. expect a lot of bad-mouthing and gruesome gestures attacking people and on Sandra Bullock that makes you leap from your seat. be sure that you don't bring your kids under 13 as rated. but the servings of punch lines are very much enjoyable. i bet many people would use them in their everyday lives.
THE HEAT is directed by Paul Feig and written by Katie Dippold. also starring Marlon Wayans in this police action-comedy movie. opening June 27 distributed by 20th Century Fox Philippines and Warner Bros. Pictures Philippines.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY movie review

in the prelude of MONSTERS INC., we are able to see the story behind the friendship of Mike and Sulley, how their differences make them each other's nightmare but eventually become the best of friends. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY is all a backtrack of everyone's story. that each everyone searches for success, live their dreams and even be brave to conquer obstacles of college life and friendship.
the majority of the story focuses on Mike Wazowski, a preschooler who wished to become connected to their world's most sought-after employer, Monsters Inc. and what it takes to be an employee is to be top-scarer in their school, Monsters University. from then on, his inspiration is to know everything about scaring people. this is no easy task for Mike because he has to endure college life in the School of Scaring under the terror of Dean Hardscrabble, a notable scarer of Monstropolis and a Hall of Famer in the university.
Mike Wazowski and Dean Hardscrabble
Mike's college life is complete and exciting with the whole cast of characters which we would find in a contemporary university setting. the bullies, the varsities, the populars, the nerds and all would be part of Mike's college life and would be his barriers towards fulfilling his dreams. adding to that is another popular kid, James Sullivan, who came from a family of very good scarers. Mike and Sulley's encounter would be very difficult for both of them initially as they go through the Scare Games, but they'll get to know and make up each other's strengths to achieve what they dream of.
Mike Wazowski's college life is very relatable to everyone who went through college. this would be their momentous era where they are trying to prove to everyone about their abilities and each one would dream about belonging to different cliques where they could be comfortable to fit in. but there are times that we couldn't get everything that we want. for this movie, it also teaches us that experience is the best teacher. i remember that i was almost the same as Mike during college. i had the same drive towards studying and may have dealt with similar people in the university. it could have been added to the fun at the university and like all, we should always be thankful to everyone who became part of what we are today.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY opens June 26 and distributed by Walt Disney Studios (Philippines). directed by Dan Scanlon under Disney Pixar. also be sure to stay after the credits for a fun clip.

WORLD WAR Z movie review

based on a novel by Max Brooks, Brad Pitt takes on the role of Gerry Lane, a former United Nations employee who gets at war with a zombie pandemic and incidentally discovers a temporary treatment for the disease.
in World War Z, Gerry Lane is happy with his family going somewhere until a wave of zombies came attacking the streets and spreading the disease. and government measures of stopping them is intensified to bringing the whole world into a huge warzone. with his inquisitive nature, he was able to observe the occurrences and track a possible "cure" against the pandemic.
when i saw it, though i was not a zombie-flick fan myself, i was really amazed how people can be very creative of how zombies do what they do. their gestures and all, the way they infect and how they'll be eliminated. with this movie, i wasn't loathed with the falling arms and decaying bodies and i was fully aware of the items that go with the undead.
the suspense-factor is tolerable though i was hiding my eyes for a few moments. i tried to get the attention to the plot which i think is pretty good. the movie in 3D is also to watch out due to the artistic special effects. before i didn't had any interest on this movie but seeing it was not a disappointment

WORLD WAR Z opens June 19 in theaters nationwide, distributed by Solar Entertainment Corporation.

MAN OF STEEL movie review

opening June 12 in the Philippines, Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan's MAN OF STEEL takes on their independent attack on how we knew about Superman. Warner Bros. Pictures must be very happy that most cinemas go with the hype of this much awaited movie this year. but as much of the expectations that i had when seeing the trailers, i think that the movie gave a different storyline on how we knew Clark and Superman.
of course starting with his birth at Krypton, we are told of the backstory of the technological advancement of the planet before its destruction. arriving on Earth, the young man discovers his extraordinary skills that would later on give hope to the earthlings from the annihilation of the people coming from his own planet. the movie on special effects is well done, making everything super at its execution. we are reintroduced to the alien existence of Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) in the world and how he has evolved and adapted to the nature the earth has.
but this movie i think didn't do much loyalty on how we know the story of Superman supposed to be. there is an awkward feeling you'll see him working already with Lois Lane (Amy Adams) on the earlier part when he is searching for clues of his existence then at the end, he just applied for a job position at the Daily Planet. confusing right?

Superman's new costume is all right but it doesn't seem to be very look very close to the Krptonians' attire in their own planet. it's like "Kal, wear this, people will love you in it" kind of thing. i was assuming that the fabric texture of his suit will give him more incredible power or even justify why he is bullet-proof. but nothing.

you'll have a new-branded Lois Lane in today's Superman movie. instead of a damsel-in-distress-kind of woman that Clark / Superman would be always chasing troubles out of, she is now a reformed character. more adventurous, and a new diplomat between humans and Kryptonians. talk about women-empowerment.
major characters in Clark Kent's life are not left out. Lana Lang will be part of this during his Smallville days. Lexcorp will also get a cameo somewhere before the end of the chaotic fights. if you want to enjoy Man of Steel, go ahead and enjoy the great effects that this movie has. Chris Nolan and Zack Snyder definitely succeeds in giving us a new feel of the superhero.
