I drew the winners of this mini blog contest via RANDOM.org on Feb 20 & I was supposed to post this yesterday, but due to the movie premiere I attended, it stayed on my draft folder for another day :) Sorry for the long wait, but hey here are the results for my first mini contest . But before let me thank again the sponsors: SM City Marilao & Let's Go Sago . Thanks!!

J ake Moore ( Shia LaBeouf ) may be worth millions at a ludicrously young age but he is also keen to do some good in the world by investing in green energy amid a fascinating world intoxicated by the sheer thrill of as much money as possible. In Oliver Stone’s “ Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps ,” LaBeouf’s Jake is a honest trader who gets embroiled in ominous financial dealings that is bound to spin dangerously out of control. With Michael Douglas’ Award-wining role Gordon Gekko out of prison and Josh Brolin’s Breton James, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” multiplies greed and avarice where there is no such thing as ‘enough.’ “Wall Street 2” steers Jake Moore (LaBeouf), a smart young proprietary trader into making millions at the venerable Keller Zabel Investments, run by Louis Zabel ( Frank Langella ), Jake’s mentor. Jake’s girlfriend, Winnie ( Carey Mulligan ), meanwhile, is supportive of his drive – fueled by an idealism she finds lacking in her father Gordon – to invest in g...

I've watched Going The Distance on a special screening at SM Megamall, just before it's showing.  Before I watched this movie, I don't expect that much,  in short I lower my expectation. I expect this movie to fail just like The Bounty Hunter & Love Happens. PLOT: 7 / 10 The film revolves around a couple who try to maintain a long-distance relationship, one in New York City, New York and the other in San Francisco, California. The film will also include a cameo by British band The Boxer Rebellion. CAST & CHARACTERS 8 / 10 Though at first look I don't really like Justin Long and Drew Barrymore as a couple (they're real life couple) as the story unfolds, you will say that they have chemistry. Christina Applegate's role as Drew's sister is so funny, she's exaggerated but funny at the same time. She and Charlie Day brings most of the funny part in this movie. Charlie Day's love to drink beer in the toilet too :)

 Take a peek at the first theatrical poster of Warner Bros.’ upcoming romantic comedy “ Life As We Know It ”! The one-sheet shows Katherine Heigl running after two “babies” -- the tagline “A comedy about taking it one step at a time” has never been more hilariously dead-on. “Life as We Know It” is directed by Greg Berlanti (TV’s “Brothers & Sisters”) from a screenplay by first time feature writers Ian Deitchman & Kristin Rusk Robinson. The film stars Katherine Heigl (“The Ugly Truth,” “27 Dresses”), Josh Duhamel (the “Transformers” films), Josh Lucas (“Sweet Home Alabama”), Christina Hendricks (TV’s “Mad Men”), and Hayes MacArthur (“The Game Plan”). The film is produced by Barry Josephson and Paul Brooks, with Denise DiNovi, Scott Niemeyer, Norm Waitt, Katherine Heigl, Nancy Heigl and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers.

Love and Other Drugs is the upcoming comedy-drama film directed by Edward Zwick, based on the non-fiction title Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman written by Jamie Reidy. This film is to be Zwick's second comedy-drama, the first being About Last Night. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway .  “Love and Other Drugs” opens on January 2011 across the Philippines. Distributed by 20th Century Fox worldwide ( Warner Bros. here in the Philippines)

J osh Duhamel (When in Rome) reinforces him romantic hero status in Warner Bros.’ new comedic love story, Life as We Know It . Everyone has a different plan for their perfect life. For Eric Messer (Duhamel), it’s moving up from being a broadcast technician to a full-fledged director in national sports television. But life as we plan it is seldom life as we live it. Such is the case when Holly’s ( Katherine Heigl ) and Messer’s plans are put on hold by the sudden and tragic death of their mutual best friends. Holly and Messer have always tolerated, rather than enjoyed, each other’s company, but now they find themselves co-guardians to baby girl, Sophie. Duhamel says, “They both love this little girl, and they both feel obligated to at least try to do what their friends wanted…even though they’re both going in completely different directions in their own lives, and they really don’t like each other.” Backed into a corner, Holly and Messer will have to make it work…somehow. “I t...

A udiences worldwide have enjoyed critically acclaimed actor Javier Bardem’s diverse performances over the years. In 2008, Bardem received the Academy Award® for Best Supporting Actor for No Country for Old Men, and just last May, he won Best Actor at the 2010 Cannes film festival for Alejandro Innaritu’s Biutiful. Now, Bardem stars opposite Julia Roberts in Columbia Pictures’ inspiring romance drama, Eat Pray Love where he plays Felipe, a Brazilian traveler who sweeps Julia’s character off her feet. In the film, Liz Gilbert (Roberts) is a modern woman on a quest to marvel at and travel the world while rediscovering and reconnecting with her true inner self. At a crossroads after a divorce, Gilbert takes a year-long sabbatical from her job and uncharacteristically steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life.

A aron Eckhart (“The Dark Knight”) leads the cast of Columbia Pictures' “World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles” as Staff Sergeant Nantz, a career Marine who is “pretty burnt out,” the actor says. On the brink of retirement, he is pressed back into service. “He’s leading a bunch of young Marines into a battle with aliens in L.A. He’s doing it reluctantly, but that’s just the type of hero that I love to watch.” Director Jonathan Liebesman calls Eckhart, “one of the most incredible actors working today. It was such a coup to get Aaron in this movie,” adds the director. “Aaron immediately gives you incredible depth with your central character. You believe these guys would follow him anywhere.”

P opularly known as the amorous Jason Stockhouse in the HBO original hit series True Blood, Ryan Kwanten now provides the voice of wayward owl, Kludd, in Warner Bros.’ fantasy adventure in 3D, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. The film follows Soren (voice of Jim Sturgess), a young owl enthralled by his father’s epic stories of the Guardians of Ga’ Hoole, a mythic band of winged warriors who had fought a great battle to save all of owlkind from the evil Pure Ones. While Soren dreams of someday joining his heroes, his older brother, Kludd, scoffs at the notion, and yearns to hunt, fly and steal his father’s favor from his younger sibling. But Kludd’s jealousy has terrible consequences—causing both owlets to fall from their treetop home and right into the talons of the Pure Ones.
