THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE movie review

going on Book 2 of The Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire already got me more hooked and really excited. the scenes are gradually getting intense, and Jennifer Lawrence's beauty more flourished here.
the people of Panem starts a rebellion after the win of District 12's Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. President Snow takes a move to contain the rebellion and punish the youngest victors. timing with the 75th Hunger Games, he summons all victors from the districts to join the Quarter Quell. this would be very difficult for Katniss and Peeta and they learn the ways of the Capitol to be accepted, without thinking about what happened during the Games.
there were a lot of very sad scenes in the movie especially when Gale was flogged in public. but there were a lot of amusing things happening like Effie's costume, Katniss' wedding gown, the Quarter Quell arena and the remote coverage of Katniss and Peeta's interview. very well presented.
there really are more things to be expected on the next movie. but i hope they'll just do it in one clip for the conclusion instead of dividing the last part of the trilogy into 2. 

for giving me a chance of watching this, thank you to Solaire Resorts. until next #SolaireSpecialScreening.

totally GREASED!

it was just another high school musical for some, but 9 Works Theatrical's GREASE is a whole new experience and a wonderful sight to see and sing along with. the cast of Grease with Gian Magdangal, Francheska Farr, Iya Villana and Rafa Siguion-Reyna has all the audience the excitement and fun.
let's start with the set, of course, Mio Infante always does the best job for the stage design. converting the whole set into bleachers, and anything you can imagine, a part of your high school life, is truly amazing. remembering 9WT's last production, you will surely be amazed.
aside from our 4 lead actors, there were more who livened up Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium with their own numbers. Moo'ed by Reb Atadero and Sarah Facuri with their "exposed" song should really take a lot of guts. Vince Lim, a first timer to acting in theater is well-applauded by strumming and stealing the limelight among others. every actor gives a cheer and you'll stay smiling towards the end. more of that, you'll have to watch out who will be the Teen Angel. our eyes widened when we saw Tom Rodriguez popped out of the stage and sang. for the upcoming shows, watch out.

Francheska Farr's performance could be well-commented for another first-timer. but i think Hopelessly Devoted to You should have been sang with more power as audience can be expected to feel the emotions of the song. but to be fair to her, over-all performance is great. i could understand how difficult it is to sing, dance and act at the same time and getting the pressure of being the lead actress. she did very well and hoping for her to continue the career in theater.

for the theater-goers out there, Grease by 9WT is not just another musical from the company but it also returns you to the time that you had so much fun. the 13-show production runs until December. www.9workstheatrical.com.
