UPSTREAM Partners With GMovies to Usher in a New Cinema Experience for Filipinos

Posted by Ria Hazel on 1:00 PM in cinema, entertainment, Gcash, Globe, GMovies, movies, new normal, platform, Upstream,

Many will agree that watching a movie in a cinema is an experience on its own—the waft of buttered popcorn all around place, the anticipation for the film to begin as you watch trailers, and the collective reaction during a particular scene. But with most cinemas still off-limits to moviegoers, people have to find creative ways to recreate this experience in their own homes.

Some of the Hottest Actors in the Philippines Right Now!

Posted by Ria Hazel on 7:05 AM in Actors, Carlo Aquino, Coco Martin, Enrique Gil, entertainment, Filipino Actors, Filipino Movies, James Reid, Joshua Garcia, movies, Series,

View this post on Instagram

Maraming Salamat @vansphilippines and @kthina

A post shared by Joshua Garcia (@garciajoshuae) on Sep 12, 2017 at 12:32am PDT

The Philippines has no shortage of talent when it comes to show business, but there are some actors that just seem to rise to the top. Whether it’s due to their stunning good looks, incredible charisma, approachable personalities, or excellent acting skills, there’s just no denying that some people are born to be stars. The competition to get to the top of the news cycles is fierce, but luckily for you we’ve put together a list of young actors who are definitely making waves thanks to new projects. Here’s a list of some of the hottest young actors in Philippine show business this 2019!

Coco Martin

Coco Martin may be a huge primetime star right now, but as an actor he had humble beginnings. While his sweet smile and expressive face made him a star as Cardo in ABS-CBN’s Ang Probinsyano, Coco worked as an OFW before building his career through indie films such as Brillante Mendoza’s Masahista (2005) and Serbis (2008). Coco Martin now stars in the longest-running action drama series on Philippine television, which is able to pull in over 44.6% viewership during the primetime slot! His charisma as an actor is unparalleled, and you can be sure to see more of Cardo in the years to come.

James Reid

This Filipino-Australian actor has been capturing hearts for almost a decade now, but only really hit it big in 2014 when he starred alongside now-partner Nadine Lustre in the hit film Ang Diary ng Panget. James Reid is an actor, singer, and host, and besides his many acting credits has also released three studio albums! James and Nadine recently released their duet ‘Summer’ on YouTube, to the delight of their many fans. Besides working on his music, James has also been cast as the lead in 2019’s Pedro Penduko, so keep an eye out for that.

Joshua Garcia

BNY Jeans favorite Joshua Garcia has only been in the limelight for five years, but the impact he’s had on the minds and hearts of viewers makes it seem like he’s been around for longer. As one half of popular love team JoshLia, Joshua has been in blockbuster hit after blockbuster hit. His tandem with partner Julia Barretto first started in 2016 with teen favorite Vince and Kath and James (2016), and the two have starred in hit movies and teleseryes over the last couple of years. Definitely one to keep an eye on!

Enrique Gil

Enrique Gil is another young actor who’s been making the news lately, thanks in part to his stint as Raf, one half of a pair of star-crossed lovers in Antoinette Jadaone’s Alone/Together (2019). One of the most highly-anticipated films of 2019, the teaser trailer alone drew in almost 5 million views on Facebook a day after it was posted! Enrique’s suave yet earnest charm makes him a definite heartthrob in the eyes of fans, and his partnership with Liza Soberano is one of the country’s favorites.

Carlo Aquino

Carlo Aquino’s career spans all the way from his childhood, where his charisma as the young son of veteran actress Vilma Santos in Bata, bata… paano ka ginawa? (1998) garnered him accolades at a young age. Carlo isn’t just known for his acting; he was also in several bands growing up, although has now chosen to focus on his work as a thespian rather than as a musician. His latest project has him starring opposite Nadine Lustre in romantic drama Ulan (2019), so keep an eye out!

SM Cinema brings Asian phenomenon to the big screen with “Crazy Rich Asians” and “The Meg”

Posted by Ria Hazel on 12:33 AM in Asians, August 22, Crazy Rich Asians, entertainment, movies, SM Cinema, The Meg,

Asia takes the centerstage in theatres as SM Cinema brings you not one but two novel-based movies highlighting Asian characters and locations with Crazy Rich Asians and The Meg that will surely pump up your August.

Dubbed as the first big-budget, non-period film in 25 years to feature an all-Asian ensemble cast, “Crazy Rich Asians” is based on the best-selling novel with the same title by Kevin Kwan.

The film features Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) and her boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding) as they go to Singapore for a wedding. Rachel learns that Nick’s family is one of Singapore’s richest clan. Given this situation, Rachel must now contend with the socialites, relatives and most of all, Nick’s mother, who cannot accept their relationship.

Shot in different countries in Asia and another book-to-movie adaptation based on “Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror”, Director Jon Turteltaub reimagines the story of the prehistoric shark in his latest movie, “The Meg”.

The movie follows the life of an expert sea diver and Naval Captain Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham). Five years ago, he had a mission in the Philippine Trench but was forced to abort it because he and his crew was attacked by a 70-foot sea creature, but he was left with no evidences to prove it. After a series of unfortunate events, Jonas must save lives of the people he loves and face his greatest fear – the Carcharodon Megalodon, the largest predator ever existed. Joining Statham are Asian actors, Li Bingbing as Suyin Zhang and Winston Chao as Dr. Minway Zhang.

Catch Crazy Rich Asians starting August 22 in SM Cinema branches nationwide and don’t miss The Meg now playing at IMAX theatres and SM Cinema branch near you. Book your tickets through the website, www.smcinema.com or download the SM Cinema mobile app. You may also follow /SMCinema on Facebook and @SM_Cinema on Instagram for updates!

There Was Never Just One: The Bourne Legacy

Posted by Ria Hazel on 10:17 AM in action, Jeremy Renner, Manila, motorcycle, movie review, movies, Nuffnang, Philippines, Rachel Weisz, The Bourne Legacy,

I have never been a fan of Matt Damon. I was crushing Ben Affleck more because he’s so manly and he looks much taller than Matt. I know, I’m weird that way :P So when I found out that Jeremy Renner was playing the new Bourne installment ,(and you just gotta love him as Hawkeye and from Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol!) plus the fact that it was shot here in the Philippines, (where I’ve been a victim by the huge traffic in Manila for two months) I already know that I HAVE TO watch this film. As I’ve said, I’ve never been a fan of Matt Damon, so The Bourne Legacy is the first Bourne series that I’ve watched, and boy, did it never disappointed me.

I was very privileged to watch the advance screening of Snow White and the Huntsman last May 30 because of Helen and The Body Shop. Greta, one of the characters in this film is TBS's newest endorser for their "Beauty with Heart" campaign. I believe that their advocacy and the movie are fused with each other since its all about beauty, fairness and strong will.

And I Thought That This Could Only Happen At Gossip Girl

Posted by Ria Hazel on 11:19 AM in Blake Lively, Gossip Girl, movies, Phone, photo, Series,

Technology, its deceiving these days

Few years ago, my favorite Gossip Girl character, Leighton Meester has been rumored to have a video scandal that has been spreading around the Internet. I never really saw it, but my friends who got hold of it told me the resemblance is uncanny. But eventually, the rumors died and the video was history.

A cropped image from Blake Lively's nude photo

Now, Blake Lively, known as Serena van der Woodsen in the same hit TV series, has nude photos resurfacing the Internet and it looked so much like her. I kind of feel bad about her because the last writeup that read about her was telling everyone that she's in a closeknit family and scandals like those will never happen on her. But the photos were really convincing.

Whaaaat?

Her publicist denied that the photos were hers. She said, "Blake has never taken nude photos of herself. Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs.”

Funny thing, all these can only happen to her at Gossip Girl. I can't believe that she would be living like Serena van der Woodsen one day. Hers or not, I still love Blake and will watch Gossip Girl habitually. XOXO, now boys, go drool.
