WOMEN OF WALL STREET

Esquire – In the original Wall Street, the part of Darien Taylor, Bud Fox’s (Charlie Sheen) girlfriend (and Gekko’s ex) “was not well developed.” Michael Douglas who plays Gekko in “Wall Street 1 and 2” would later say that Daryl Hannah’s casting caused problems. Hannah wasn’t happy playing the materialistic social climber, and director Oliver Stone’s tough approach to her performance upset her. While Douglas bagged an Oscar for his performance, Hannah won a Razzie for worst Supporting Actress.

NICOLAS CAGE FIGHTS CRIME WITH KICK-ASS SUPERHEROES!



This Summer, a new breed of superheroes will be revealed!


Teen geek and comic book fanatic Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) makes a totally bizarre but brave decision--- he is going under disguise as a superhero, minus the superpowers. And he’s going to be known as Kick-Ass. Donned in a green and yellow wetsuit bought online, he prowls the city to fight crime. However, he’s not the only superhero out there. The fearless and highly-trained father-daughter crime-fighting duo Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) have been slowly but surely taking down the criminal empire of local Mafioso Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong). Another fledgling superhero joins them by the name of Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), who happens to be Frank’s son.

Chemistry creates a good match. The on-screen tandem of actors John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers assures a new addition to the elite list of effective pairs lighting up the big screen.

This February, a no-nonsense buddy relationship happens in theaters, with a veteran act stirring it up with someone with 'enough presence to play opposite him.' From Paris With Love, with director Pierre Morel (Taken), ensures audiences of a 'credible comedy with a dramatic story.'

Here, Travolta portrays the role of secret American agent Charlie Wax who is in Paris for a high-risk mission and who crosses paths with embassy worker James Reese (Meyers) who wants to become a real agent. The film follows the two on a journey through one of the world's most popular cities, with all the comedic dialogue and situations while Wax serves as mentor for Reese.

"Jonathan and I both have a similar attack on acting, (approaching it) in a very naturalistic way," says Travolta. He explains, "Our energies are similar in that we keep the fire lit throughout a scene and if we don’t, we make it happen."

Travolta has only good words for Meyers who already won a Golden Globe for his starring role in the CBS television miniseries Elvis and got nominated twice for playing Henry the VIII in the Showtime original series The Tudors. He points out. "He is a brilliant actor and I think out of all the young actors, he is probably the most gifted. All his performances prove that because they are diversified and they're believable and they're classic."

Meyers is likewise in awe of Travolta much more than one can easily scale. He said, "In Face Off, I think he did a brilliant job with being Nic Cage! You don’t have the physicality to portray the person you are meant to play and I think he really nailed that."

Meyers separates his character from that of Travolta and shows how that difference makes a big difference: "I have to go through a lot of really dorky stuff, ethical issues and Reese is far more ethical than Wax. So it’s a buddy movie where there are people who have different ideals, yet have the same goal which they're going towards to."

Distributed by Viva International Pictures, From Paris With Love opens in cinemas on February 24.

Do you happen to know famous legends in England? Like during the old times of England? One of the famous legendary character and story is Sherlock Holmes. When I had the chance to watch it`s premiere I learned about the value his story, I haven`t read his stories yet but I was able to know more about him during the movie. He has a great character and I salute him for that.

I was not expecting to really laugh out loud in this movie but I did.
It was funnier as I watched it August 6 at Greenbelt Cinema, thanks to Warner Bros. c/o Az and Ms. Sionee.
I consider this movie as one of my favorite comedy film as of this year.
I really had a hangover from laughing.
This group of bachelors were really outrageous from the very moment of their jokes: Doug,Phil,Stu and Alan.
I was like puzzled the whole time what happened the night before they drank. And the more they begin to uncover , the more it gets really funny.
It is rare to feel but I would like to see this movie again.
And surely I will not remember anything when I woke up the next day.
It was nice to see Heather Graham in the big screen after seeing her in the blockbuster hit Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. She was really gorgeous in this film. It was exciting to know that her role here is a stripper.
There`s one more gorgeous babe to watch out here. She is Sasha Barrese

I am one of the lucky bloggers invited by TV 5 to watch Terminator Salvation.I am not a Terminator fan so I really can`t relate with the elements present in this movie.But I was amazed with the super high tech robots and gadgets here.All I can say is When Arnold Schwarzenneger specially appeared the crowd was cheering.The only moment I hear them scream . I cannot distinguish which part is the past,which is the present.Why are they fighting? What is the role of the child? I really can`t understand everything.

Went to podium to watch Fast and Furios press screening,got an invite from Jona of Yehey.com

Solar Films presents Fast and Furios
From the very beginning this movie was breathtaking.I was like holding to my seat as I am amazed at the same time scared with the racing scenes.
It makes me want to watch all Fast and Furios movies.
Altough I can`t relate to some scenes due to incomplete info.I had great time watching it.The thrill of watching fast cars racing is doubled for it was also like a mind game, the character of Braga was so mysterious and made me think a lot who he really is.
I also like O`connor`s detective skills and how he was able to penetrate as an agent.
I like the twist of the story specially when (Paul Walker ) O`connor pretended himself as one of those racers , it was a difficult situation but in the end proved courage more than anybody.

A story about a car.Im sorry coz Gran Torino is an old vintage car.
It goes like this:
There was an English Old racist man who hates the world.Maybe due to old age and being alone.
Everyone around him wants his Gran Torino and everything else he owns.
Like his family,friends and neighbors.
He gradually became soft and even the most tolerable person upon the attempt of his Asian neighbors to please him.
To avoid spoiling the excitement for this that`s it for now.
It will be shown in Philippine cinemas Feb. 18
I am not an avid viewer of Clint Eastwood films but it was surprise to know that he is both the Director and Producer of this film.It is hard to imagine that Clint could have made that idea.No wonder he really delivered his peice so well. Does Clint really speaks that Husky in real life or that was actiing the whole time.Everytime scenes were so serious there will always be a chop of funny humour with it.That`s why even if it`s a bit boring and sad it pulls every single heartstring.Kudos to the Asian actors for doing great job.I wish I could be like them.And thinking of the story all over again I really can`t accept the kind of ending.I wish something happen which was favor to him.Whatever it is,Gran Torino is a brilliant idea of Clint Eastwood.

From the Director of "The Devil wears Prada" presents Marley and Me.
Bob Marley is a true legend,this Dog in the movie was named after him.
While playing the song "One Love" then begins the baptizing of the name Marley.
Marley and Me is a story of a couple who can`t have any child at first,newly weds John and Jenny Grogan
So they adopted a puppy for them to become happy.They didn`t just became happy,their life went to wacky and riot.
Marley is a cute yellow labrador until he became a 100-pound steamroller of unbridled energy who flanks obedience school,chew off dry-wall,takes a bite out of the Sofa,overturns garbage can,steals Thanksgiving turkey,consumes pillows and flowers,drinks toilet water,and chases the UPS guy.He even swallowed Jenny`s expensive necklace.
There is a nice influence seeing this kind of movie.
Love for animals turns out love for human beings.
It is a story that captures everybody`s heart,a story about friendship inspite of competition,a story about the essence of journalism and story of giving importance to family.
I cried at the end of the movie when Marley died.It was so overwhelming.
