The best things from the 70s relived in Eto na! Musikal nAPO!

It's good to hear stories from the people who lived from the 70s and 9 Works Theatrical will bring us to memory lane as they bring the music of the APO Hiking Society in the upcoming musical, Eto Na! Musikal nAPO this August.
cast of Eto Na! Musikal nAPO
Since this is a major throwback production, I've asked the the musical's creative team about what they miss in the 70s. Sab Jose thought that it was nice when people ought to really talk and meet each other even the absence of technology like how we do it today. Raul Montesa recalls that people were very active and they spend the time outside their homes and nobody gets sick. Director Robbie Guevara adds they would look for a place where they can chat as long as they want and play guitar and have a great time.
Hearing it from one of the APO Hiking Society trio, Mr. Jim Paredes relates that he misses men and women were gentlemen and ladies during the 70s: when seats are offered or help to someone that needs it and gain friends; when people got to talk about about ideas and ideals. Such values are slowly going down the drain and he believes that Eto Na! Musikal nAPO will help people to connect once again and be good to each other.

Eto Na! Musikal nAPO! tells the story of a group of friends in their college days who are joining a music contest and chronicles the things that would go in between. Friendships, relationships, studies and all that would make student life hard but bearable. Featuring the songs of APO Hiking Society, the musical promises to bring audiences, young and all, to sing-along to the tunes of Awit ng Barkada, Pumapatak na Naman ang Ulan, Di Na Natuto and more, and reminisce the period that many of us had.

Eto Na! Musikal nAPO! cast welcomes back actor Mark Bautista, GMA artist Rita Daniella, Jeff Flores, Peachy Atilano-Guevara, Sab Jose, and more.
Eto Na! Musikal nAPO is 9 Works Theatrical's offering on its 9th season and paves the way to 9WT's more of original Pinoy musicals. Runs from August 3-26, 2018 at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater. Directed by Robbie Guevara. Get your tickets at Ticketworld or call 891-9999.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE FALLOUT movie review

Make time to watch Ethan Hunt's newest mission in Mission: Impossible Fallout in theaters starting tomorrow, July 25. Tom Cruise proves himself invincible in his latest death-defying stunts that you will have your mouths open as you munch your popcorn.
Don't miss any scene and make sure to pee before it starts playing. Each scene is as action-packed as the next so you cannot leave your seat. The return of Ethan and his IMF gang is more powered and I think Benji (Simon Pegg) will take a greater credit in this movie. The tactics and plans to take on the bad guys had leveled up and makes it greater than the original series.
The women of MI6 are also equipped with good fighting skills especially Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) that holds a secret to the mission. I had to look at IMDB about the other casts and surprised about Princess Margaret, Vanessa Kirby, as White Widow who showed her knife skills and maintained her composure and elegance in the movie. I almost didn't recognize her, really.
Fallout also gave very interesting twists like how Henry Cavill appeared primarily as an ally then turned out to be Hunt's enemy. He was one tough antagonist for Ethan and the plot twist is riveting.
Seeing Mission: Impossible Fallout in IMAX will be very exciting and also scary for the thrilling and explosive actions.

WINNIE THE POOH and the gang in Christopher Robin posters!

See the one-sheet posters for our lovable friends from the Woods in Disney's "Christopher Robin" character posters.
The individual images include Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga with Roo and Tigger.

Christopher Robin’s best friend, WINNIE THE POOH (Jim Cummings), is a cuddly, slightly-worn teddy bear full of optimism whose tummy is often rumbly. Pooh delivers simple thoughts on life which turn out to be surprisingly profound.

Fearless, outgoing, energetic and incredibly self-assured, TIGGER (Jim Cummings) is an orange and black-striped tiger who often leaps before he looks.

EEYORE (Brad Garrett) is an old grey donkey with a melancholy—but endearing—disposition and a penchant for sarcasm. Eeyore tends to wallow in misery and proceeds through life with very low expectations, but he is loved by Christopher Robin and all his friends.

PIGLET (Nick Mohammed) is a petite, angst-ridden pig who is shy, soft-spoken and easily frightened.

A kind-hearted female kangaroo, KANGA (Sophie Okonedo) is mother to Roo and a warm and maternal figure to all the animals.

Disney’s “Christopher Robin” will be released in Philippine cinemas nationwide on August 1, 2018.
