“THE RITE”


Inspired by true events, New Line Cinema's supernatural thriller “The Rite” follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While in Rome, he meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith.

Directed by Mikael Håfström (“1408”), “The Rite” uncovers the devil’s reach to even one of the holiest places on Earth. The film stars Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Wolfman”), Colin O’Donoghue in his feature film debut, Alice Braga (“Predators”), Ciarán Hinds (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” films), Toby Jones (“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”) and Rutger Hauer (“Batman Begins,” “Blade Runner”).


Contrafilms’ Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson (“The Exorcism of Emily Rose”) produced the film. The screenplay was penned by Michael Petroni (“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”), suggested by the book by Matt Baglio. Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Merideth Finn and Robert Bernacchi serve as executive producers.

Opening soon across the Philippines, New Line Cinema’s “The Rite” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

SM City Baguio’s rainwater treatment facility: A model for water sustainability

Image
  The rainwater treatment facility (RTF) of SM City Baguio utilizes a rigorous six-step treatment process with real-time monitoring, ensuring processed water always adheres to potability requirements. SM City Baguio is making significant strides in water stewardship with its innovative rainwater treatment facility (RTF), launched in July 2023. In the months since, the facility has already processed over 17,111.80 cubic meters of rainwater – equivalent to 7 Olympic-size swimming pools, or enough to fill over 6,800 standard water tankers – into potable water for the SM mall’s operations and for their lessees’ use. This initiative supplements the mall’s water supply from the Baguio Water District and significantly contributes to the city’s water security and the safety of its residents. Located at the mall’s basement level, the RTF provides 30% of the mall’s total monthly average requirement for clean water that is safe for consumption and food preparation. “There is a critical need for r

Malaysian singer-songwriter liesl-mae opens up about depression on her new single ‘Raincloud’

Image
Malaysia-based singer-songwriter liesl-mae reflects on her struggles with mental health in her compelling new single “Raincloud.” Addressing the cyclical nature of depression and its damning effects, the inspiring young artist hopes to engage in a discussion to dismantle the social stigmas surrounding mental health.  The song begins with a posed question: “When was the last time you felt happy?” On the surface, it is a seemingly benign inquiry. However, unable to respond, the question initiates an unexpected internal monologue traversing the uniquely human blight of depression and anxiety. Artfully woven together with vivid metaphor and thoughtful lyricism, liesl-mae puts the feelings of hopelessness into words that creep malignantly into one’s mind – lying restlessly in wake.  Her pristine vocals shine brightly through the track’s guitar-driven melodies, ambient pads, and pulsating basslines. Gradually building up from an intimate, campfire-esque start to a grandiose conclusion, the

Sad News

Image
My cousin informed me thru YM that my Lola is dead na raw. It's so sad news, lalo pa ngayon na di ko siya madadalaw dun because of some circumstances. Naalagaan din ako ni Lola nung maliit pa ako pero mas close ako dun sa grandma ko sa mother side. I always see her as a very mahinhin, typical of a lola. (hehe, kabaligtaran siya ng Lola ko sa mother side, outgoing kase yun) She never scolded me. She loves me that much that why I'm sure I will missed her. I don't know but parang nanlamig ako nung marinig ko yung news. It makes me really worried. Bigla kong na-imagine if mawala yung mga mahahalaga sa buhay ko. I hope it doesn't happen. Well sana nga. Kaya, ikaw habang may Lola ka pa show him na you really love her hindi yung paparamdam mo nalang kapag huli na.
