7 LOVE STORIES MAGPAPAIBIG NG SAMBAYANAN SA "24/7 IN LOVE"

Sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon, magsasama-sama ang 15 sa pinakasikat na Kapamilya stars at apat na de-kalibreng batang direktor sa bansa upang ihandog sa sambayanan ang.pinaka-star-studded movie event of the year mula sa Star Cinema, ang "24/7 In Love" na 20th anniversary film offering ng Star Magic. Ipalalabas na sa mga sinehan nationwide ang "24/7" sa November 21 (Wednesday).

 

Sa ilalim ng direksyon nina Mae Cruz, Dado Lumibao, John-D Lazatin, at Frasco Mortiz, tampok sa "24/7 In Love" ang pitong episodes na tungkol sa iba't ibang kwentong pag-ibig na pagbibidahan ng tambalan nina Piolo Pascual, Zaijan Jaranilla, at Xyriel Manabat; Bea Alonzo at Zanjoe Marudo; Sam Milby at Pokwang; Diether Ocampo at Maja Salvador; Daniel Padilla at Kathryn Bernardo; Kim Chiu at Gerald Anderson; at Angelica Pangilinan at John Lloyd Cruz.

 

Ayon kay Direk Mae na siyang may hawak ng episodes ng Bea-Zanjoe, Kimerald, at Kathniel love teams, mistulang Star Magic Ball ang pagka-engrande ng "24/7 In Love."

 

"It's definitely an event in Philippine cinema to have all these actors together," ani Mae. "Para siyang isang malaking reunion! Imagine, the biggest stars of Star Magic and ABS-CBN sa mapapanood sa iisang pelikula lang. Talagang sulit na sulit ang bayad ng tao kasi ang daming stars plus maraming kuwento ng pag-ibig ang nandito."

 

Excited naman si Direk Dado sa naiibang konseptong hatid ng kanilang pelikula. "Naiiba siya in a way na its episodic but each episode is tackling love, pero iba-iba nga lang aspeto ng pagmamahal," pahayag ng direktor ng episode nina Piolo, Zaijan, at Xyriel. "Sa episode namin 'yung love na wagas ang focus. It may be very young, it may be the people na hindi pa mature mag-isip, pero pagdating sa pag-ibig ay kaya nilang gumawa ng desisyon."

 

Tulad ng mga kapwa niya direktor, damang-dama ni Direk John-D ang kakaibang 'star power' ng kanilang pelikula kung kaya labis ang ligaya niya ng i-offer sa kanya ang trabahong idirek ang episodes ng Maja-Diether at John Lloyd-Angelica love teams.

 

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime movie event na handog ng Star Magic at Star Cinema para sa mga lahat ng fans," sabi ni Direk John-D. "Sobrang laki ng movie sa dami pa lang ng artista..This kind of movie only happens once. So we're all positive and we're all in this together for the film."

 

Hindi naman makapaniwala si Direk Frasco na pagkatapos ng kanyang barkada movie na "The Reunion" ay bibigyan siya agad muli ng Star Cinema ng isa pang pelikula kung saan ididirek niya ang episode ng tambalang Pokwang at Sam.

 

"Natuwa ako kasi another opportunity ito na gumawa ng bagong bagay na hindi ko pa nagagawa sa television," kwento ni Direk Frasco. "Sa buong movie, may mga moments na magre-reflect ka rin kasi feeling ko bawat isang kuwento dun sa may mga taong makaka-relate. For me it's a story about life. Kasi at the end of the day, kung magugunaw man ang mundo, hahanapin mo 'yung taong mahal mo."

Bahagi rin ng "24/7 In Love" ang iba pang Star Magic artists na sina John Lapus, Maricar Reyes, Jayson Gainza, Matt Evans, Nina Dolino, Joseph Marco, Jason Francisco, Helga Krapf, Andrei Felix, Seppi Borromeo, at Ian Rusell.

Lee Min Ho Credits His Showbiz Success to His Fans

Sa exclusive interview ni Lee Min Ho with Toni Gonzaga sa The Buzz, ipinahayag ng sikat na Korean star na very happy siya sa pagdating niya sa Pilipinas. Nasa bansa ang bida ng Koreanovela na Boys Over Flowers para i-endorse ang isang local clothing brand. Hindi fluent si Lee Min Ho sa English kaya ang ipinalabas na interview sa kanya sa The Buzz ay dubbed in Tagalog para lalong maunawaan ng mga manonood.

Pagsisimula ng aktor, masyadong malamig ngayon sa South Korea at feeling daw niya ay nasa resort siya pagdating sa Pilipinas because of the warm weather. Sobrang thankful din siya na pati ang pagbati sa kanya ng kanyang libu-libong fans ay very warm. Kung mayroon man daw siya ng oras na lumibot ng Pilipinas, ang gusto niyang puntahan ay Cebu at Boracay.

Itinanong ni Toni Gonzaga sa aktor kung ano ba ang mas mahalaga sa kanya, ang pagiging modelo o ang pagiging aktor? Ang tugon ni Min Ho, “Being a model and being an actor (are) very special to me. However, kung hindi dahil sa pagiging aktor hindi rin siguro ako mabibigyan ng chance na maging model. Pero natutuwa talaga ako na nakakapag-model ako, but at the same timemasayang-masaya ako dahil nakakapag-act pa rin ako, because to tell you the truth I feel very passionate about being an actor at gusto ko talagang gumaling para sa mga fans ko.”

Sa kanyang kasikatan, sinisikap ni Lee Min Ho na magbigay ng kasiyahan sa kanyang mga fans dahil utang niya sa mga ito ang kanyang katanyagan. “Hindi ko kinalilimutan na kaya ako nandito ngayon ay dahil sa success na nakuha ko dahil sa suporta ng mga fans ko. That is why I’m very honored, at talagang nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng pagmamahal at suportang ibinigay sa akin ng mga fans ko, sa lahat ng mga projects na ginagawa ko, sa lahat ng shows ko kaya ‘yungfame at success nakuha ko lamang because of the love of my fans.”

Alam daw niya na nagiging maligaya ang kanyang mga fans tuwing may lalabas siyang bagong proyekto kaya sinisikap niya na pagbutihan ang kanyang mga projects. “Nata-tanouch talaga ako pag sinasabi ng mga tao na gusto nila ang mga ginagawa ko. Dahil sa mga fans ko I’m really motivated to work harder and to be better.”

Kinoronahan din ang aktor bilang Facebook King dahil umabot sa limang milyon ang kanyang mga followers, kaya naman kung may oras siya ay sinisikap niyang sumagot sa kanyang mga fans nang personal. “Of course I’m very happy na marami akong followers sa Facebook. To tell you the truth I’m really very excited. This is a very new experience for me. I get to talk to my five million fans over the Internet so I’m very delighted and grateful, kaya naman kapag may oras talaga ako nagre-replyako sa mga messages nila. I get to interact with my fans.”

Pagdating naman sa babae, sinabi ng aktor na dahil sa hectic niyang schedule ay wala raw siyang oras para makasama ang kanyang special someone. Pero ang gusto raw niya sa isang babae ay ang masayang kasama, masarap kausap at ‘yung hindi siya maiinip.

Sa ABS-CBN ay tatlong serye na ni Lee Min Ho ang inere: Ang Boys Over Flowers, Perfect Matchat City Hunter. Alin ba sa tatlong ito ang kanyang paborito? “Kakaibang experience ang bawat isa. ‘Yung Boys Over Flowers, ‘yun ang nakatulong sa akin na marating kung nasaan man ako ngayon. Kaya naman napaka-special sa akin nung project na ‘yon. Pero mahalaga rin sa akin ‘yung ibang projects ko. Like what I said every drama series is a different experience,” paliwanag niya. Iba-iba raw ang nararanasan niya sa bawat project. Gaya sa City Hunter, lumawak daw ang kanyang pagiging aktor dahil sa proyektong iyon.

Ang susunod na proyekto ni Lee Min Ho ay ang Faith na ipapalabas din sa ABS-CBN. By wanderer || Full Story: Kapamilyalogy

Arjo Atayde on Winning Best New Male TV Personality

Nauna pang sumigaw ang ina ni Arjo Atayde na si Sylvia Sanchez nang manalo ang young actor bilang Best New Male TV Personality sa katatapos lang na 26th PMPC Star Awards for TV.  Nanalo si Arjo para sa pagganap niya sa "Bangka" episode ng Maalaala Mo Kaya.

Sabi ni Arjo tungkol sa kanyang pagkapanalo, “Hindi ko talaga ini-expect. Nung tinatawag na yung nominees, hindi ako kinabahan at all, kasi blangko lang, okay lang. I felt that it was Khalil [Ramos] or Slater Young yung mananalo kasi sila yung patok sa masa. Pero nung tinawag ako, dun ako kinabahan kasi, ‘A… okay, ako pala nanalo!’”

Ang mga nakalaban ni Arjo ay sina Harvey Bautista (Goin’ Bulilit), Khalil Ramos (Princess And I), Kiko Estrada (Tween Hearts), Michael Pangilinan (Walang Tulugan With The Master Showman), Richard Yap (My Binondo Girl), at Slater Young (Wansapantaym, “Magic Shoes” episode).

Sabi pa niya, “Nung lumabas yung nominations, wala kasi… To be honest… “I’m being frank naman na hindi naman ako magiging plastic, pero mas sikat naman yung mga kalaban ko. To be honest, mas kilala sila as of now. Kaya for me, yung feeling lang na… wala, e. I don’t expect anything. At basta yung sa akin lang, nagawa ko yung best ko as an actor.”

Wala rin daw siyang hinandang speech. Aniya, “Wala akong hinanda. I just said thank you na lang po to the people who really pushed me to the limits talaga. Yung mga taong nagsuporta talaga sa akin from the start.” After ng speech ni Arjo ay umalis na kaagad ang ina niyang si Sylvia Sanchez dahil lumipad ito papuntang Europe kagabi. Isang magandang pabaon daw para sa kanyang mga magulang ang kanyang napanalunang award.

Kuwento niya, “Yung mom ko, umalis na, kasi inaantay lang talaga niya yung best new male category. Kasi gusto niyang malaman kung mananalo ako o hindi. Kasi they are leaving for Europe right now.” Ang kanyang pagkapanalo raw ay isang challenge para lalo pa niyang galingan ang kanyang mga susunod na performance. Saad niya, “Of course, as a best new male TV personality, I’m taking this as na parang challenge. In my next project, for sure, I’ll do better. That’s one thing that I gonna promise to the viewers.”

‘Partysaurus Rex’ is Special Added Attraction to ‘Finding Nemo 3D’

‘Partysaurus Rex’ is Special Added Attraction to ‘Finding Nemo 3D’


Disney•Pixar’s new short “Partysaurus Rex” makes a splash in Philippine theaters in front of “Finding Nemo” 3D beginning December 5.

“Partysaurus Rex” follows “Hawaiian Vacation” and “Small Fry” in detailing the post-“Toy Story 3” adventures of Woody, Buzz and all their friends. This adventure focuses on Wallace Shawn’s Rex and his experiences during bathtime with Bonnie.

Directed by Pixar veteran Mark Walsh, “Rex” features the voices of Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Wallace Shawn, Don Rickles, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Timothy Dalton and Joan Cusack.

In the short film, Buzz, Woody and the rest of the “Toy Story” gang think Rex is a just a wet blanket. But when Bonnie takes him to bath time, he goes from a party pooper to king of the hot tub! Creating a bubble bash like no other, everyone’s raving about the Partysaurus Rex!

Meanwhile, “Finding Nemo” follows the momentous journey of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin and his young son Nemo - who become separated when Nemo is unexpectedly taken far from his ocean home in the Great Barrier Reef to a fish tank in a dentist’s office. Buoyed by the companionship of Dory, a friendly-but-forgetful blue tang, Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic journey to rescue his son - who hatches a few daring plans of his own to return safely home.

Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International, “Finding Nemo” will be released across the Philippines in Digital 3D™ for a limited theatrical engagement.

Brad Pitt is “Killing Them Softly” with Consecutive Good Films

Brad Pitt is “Killing Them Softly” with Consecutive Good Films


Brad Pitt is making the movie star thing look darn easy. Since he last collaborated with director Andrew Dominik, he's starred in the Coen brothers' "Burn After Reading," David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," Terrence Malick's "The Tree of Life," and Bennett Miller's "Moneyball." 
It's been arguably the best stretch of his career, one vacillating between comedy and drama and defined not by summer blockbusters but by provocative director-oriented fare. 
The bookends to the period are Dominik's "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" and "Killing Them Softly.” Things are going great even as Pitt insists that movie-making is not his top priority. 
"Right now, I'm just attracted to being a dad," said Pitt in an interview. "Film-wise, we get to do this thing and I feel very fortunate to get to do this. So I want to contribute to the art form. I think the films have to speak to our time and be authentic in their approach." 
"Killing Them Softly" is adapted from George V. Higgins' 1974 crime novel "Cogan's Trade." It's a stylized, ruthless noir with a host of fine performances - by James Gandolfini, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn and Ray Liotta - in a brutally violent criminal wasteland. 
Just as "Jesse James" used the western genre to explore a contemporary idea (celebrity culture), "Killing Them Softly" is really about capitalism. While gangsters and criminals maneuver in a grim world of backstabbing, reputation guarding and the perpetual pursuit of money, the background of the film is filled with speeches and billboards of former President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. Dominik has transplanted the story to 2008, adding the financial crisis as a backdrop for a cynical commentary on American greed. 
"I immediately latched on to it because it was precisely the stories we were seeing on the news every day," says Pitt. "Everyone was talking about restoring market confidence and meanwhile people were losing their homes left and right." 
Dominik, the New Zealand-born filmmaker of considerable visual flare, wrote the script in the midst of the financial crisis. He saw a connection between Wall Street's power brokers and Higgins' hoods: both showed "the consequences of blindly chasing a buck." "Maybe crime films are about capitalism at its blunt, bottom end," says the director. "It became a vehicle for some ideas." 
The quality of Pitt's movies in recent years may not be a coincidence. He's increasingly produced films through his production company, Plan B. The company was more nascent when it produced "Jesse James," but has recently had noted success. Plan B helped produce last year's Palm d'Or winner in Cannes, "The Tree of Life," and the Oscar-nominated "Moneyball." "I don't expect every year to go that way," he says. "According to the laws of physics, things will balance out. 
But we're clear in our mandate: Pushing stories and helping storytellers get the film to the screen. Ones that are tougher, we feel we can help out." Pitt runs Plan B, which produced "Killing Them Softly," with Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner, and compares their trio to "a little garage band." "I'm focusing more on producing this year than getting in front of the camera," says Pitt, adding that he's particularly excited about producing the next film from director Steve McQueen ("Shame"). 
Dominik gave a comedic tone to “Killing Them Softly,” which is largely centered on a series of Beckett-like conversations between the thieves, punctured by bloody outbursts. On hatching a dubious plan, one says: "We're not the only smart guys in the world." "I wanted it to be very square and straight faced, almost like a comic strip panel," says Dominik. 
 Pitt is now 48 and has six children with Angelina Jolie. The couple, who alternate their movies so neither is in production at the same time, is currently staying outside of London while Jolie shoots a film in the area. The more measured pace suits Pitt. "It just doesn't happen back to back to back," says Pitt. "You need time off to refuel and to be inspired again. There's no greater inspiration than family." 
“Killing Them Softly” will be shown exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas – Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3 and Trinoma - starting December 5.
