MEET THE ICONIC DC ALL-STARS IN “JUSTICE LEAGUE”

AFTER fighting side-by-side across decades of comics, the iconic DC all-stars are going all in to save the world in their first-ever big-screen team-up, Warner Bros. Pictures’ epic action adventure Justice League, hitting Philippine cinemas November 16.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder from a screenplay by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon, story by Chris Terrio & Zack Snyder, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film’s producers are Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Jon Berg and Geoff Johns, with executive producers Jim Rowe, Wesley Coller, Curtis Kanemoto, Chris Terrio and Ben Affleck.

Conceived by comic book writer Gardner Fox and artist Mike Sekowsky, the original incarnation of DC’s legendary League of Heroes – the Justice League of America – teamed up for the first time in 1960 on the pages of The Brave and the Bold #28.

MEET THE LEAGUE...

Batman / Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck). Inspired by Superman’s sacrifice, the billionaire detective is putting together a team of Super Heroes to combat a force threatening the entire planet. For the first time, Batman understands that he, alone, cannot save the world.

Wonder Woman / Diana Prince (Gal Gadot). The world’s first and foremost female Super Hero, Wonder Woman embodies the unrivaled force and grace of a born warrior with the genuine compassion of a true humanitarian. The first to joinBruce Wayne’s team, Diana’s natural confidence and unmistakable intelligence make her an indispensable ally.

Aquaman / Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa). Half-human, half-Atlantean, Arthur Curry is an outsider who does not feel at home on the Earth’s surface or under the sea. That is, until the world is threatened and he joins Batman’s newly assembled team of heroes.

The Flash / Barry Allen (Ezra Miller). Barry Allen is an excessively energetic student attending Central City College, where he studies criminal justice with the hope of one day freeing his incarcerated father. More than eager to team up with crime fighting icon Batman, Barry’s remarkably quick wit is surpassed only by his ability to move at hyper-speed.

Cyborg / Victor Stone (Ray Fisher). Part man, part machine, Victor Stone is a former star athlete at Gotham City University. After a horrific accident nearly cost him his life, he was saved when his father, scientist Silas Stone, used alien technology to reconstruct his body. In the process, Silas turned Victor into a human computer, organic with biomechatronic body parts. In other words, a Cyborg.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual Production, a Zack Snyder Film, Justice League. The film will be released in 3D and 2D in select theaters and IMAX worldwide beginning November 16, 2017, by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.justiceleaguethemovie.net

NAR CABICO launches his single “GAGA”

MULTI-TALENTED GMA Artist Center star Nar Cabico launches his first single ‘GAGA’ last October 12 and is now available in more than 180 digital stores worldwide.

Nar started composing songs when he was still in high school. And at the age of 21, he was fortunate enough to get in the prestigious Elements Songwriting Camp where he was selected as Favorite Songwriter of his batch.

His first single ‘GAGA’ is one of his original compositions and was inspired by his friend’s troubles when it comes to love. According to him, most of his friends keep on asking for his advice about love since he has a successful relationship for more than five years now.

“Marami kasi akong kaibigan na nagko-confide sa akin about love. Nakikita kasi nilang successful yung relationship ko kaya naman gusto nilang humihingi ng advice kung paano i-solve ang mga bagay. Sa akin sila lumalapit at ako ang nagsisilbing hingahan nila. And a lot of times sinasabihan ko sila, 'Gaga, kagagahan lang 'yan.' Kaya ko sinulat yung 'Gaga' para isahan na lang," he added.

‘GAGA’ was produced by his co-star and friend Jennylyn Mercado. “Tumatambay lang kami sa bahay niya tapos nag-sound trip and then na-mention ko na gusto ko rin maglabas ng songs. Tapos nung napakinggan niya, sabi niya, ‘Ako na. Ako na ‘yan. Ako nang bahala. Ipro-produce ko na ‘yang ‘Gaga’.”

Distributed by GMA Records, ‘GAGA’ is now available on digital platforms includingiTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer & Google Play.

REALITY OF ONE MAN’S SEXUALITY EXPLORED IN ADOLF ALIX’S (Jr.) ACCLAIMED “4 DAYS”

ADOLF Alix Jr.’s LGBT themed film “4 Days” starring indie actor Mikoy Morales and Sebastian Castro that made its debut at the 2016 Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival will now screen at exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas’ Greenbelt 1 and Trinoma starting October 18.  

“4 Days” takes on the struggles of a gay relationship in times of confusion, curiosity and whether to stay inside or come out of the closet.  The movie is not the highly typical gay love story where boy meets boy and falls in love, it goes through the downfall of questioning the reality of one man’s own sexuality,  whether or not to choose a woman because of societal culture or to accept the fact that it is okay to love a man even if you’re a man yourself.

A showcase of the brilliance and bold directing style of Adolfo Alix Jr. who started his career in TV but is now making his name in the world of films,  “4 Days”  is an affecting and delicate take on wrestling with one’s own demons and finding one’s true self and love.

Alongside “4 Days” is the short film “Kinabukasan”, also directed by Adolf Alix Jr. that will play before the full feature film that includes Superstar Nora Aunor with Alden Richards.  Also an acclaimed work of the director, the short film tells the story of a lover and a son who meet a day after losing the person they loved the most.

“SPIRIT OF THE GLASS: THE HAUNTED” IN CINEMAS NATIONWIDE NOVEMBER 1

WRITTEN by Jose Javier Reyes, Spirit of the Glass: The Haunted sees three friends who gained popularity through social media: Bea, Lisette and Chelsea were called the Instaglams since their popularity was rooted on social media.

Bea is a lifestyle editor of a popular magazine as well as a stylist, Lisette is an up and coming young actress while Chelsea is a popular model for mainstream and viral advertising. The three girls gained that much desired reputation of being the Girls of the Moment, basking on their youth and popularity. Each had their own partners --- Bea with Enzo, an athlete businessman whose best buddy is Jag, another scion of a rich family and Andre, Chelsea’s rich beau.

Young, beautiful and unsuccessful, all are completely unaware that they would be ensnared in the complicated world of the supernatural because of an article inherited by Bea from her grandaunt --- an Ouija board.

Out of sheer boredom, the group decided to play with the board thinking it was a toy and unwittingly opening the gates of the other world for three spirits to connect with them. Without their knowledge, they agreed to help the spirits not aware of the consequences of such actions as they are now harassed by these disturbed souls to help them seek justice. The crime was committed fifty years ago involving one of the most beautiful young actresses in the country named Sabrina Villafuerte who was forced to marry a man she did not loved named Budoy Carbonell --- the grandfather of Bea.

The spirits haunt the girls and their partners until they are forced to connect with a blind medium named Anita who was quite aware of the haunting that was taking place. The finale is a showdown that completely caught the friends off guard and bewildered by what they had accidentally unravelled.

Spirit of the Glass 2 : The Haunted stars Cristine Reyes, Daniel Matsunaga, Maxine Medina, Benjamin Alves, Ashley Ortega, Enrico Cuenca, Janine Gutierrez, Dominic Roque, and Aaron Villaflor.
