J. Edgar


Based on the life of J. Edgar Hoover, the man often credited with making the FBI what it is today: an efficient, crime-fighting organization shrouded in secrecy. Hoover founded the organization in 1935 and remained director until his death in 1972. 
As the face of law enforcement in America for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life. This is a drama movie that explores the public and private life of one of the most powerful, controversial and enigmatic figures of the 20th century.
J. Edgar is directed by Clint Eastwood and written by Dustin Lance Black. 
Leonardo DiCaprio now makes his first-everClint Eastwood-directed film with Warner Bros.‘ controversial drama “J. Edgar.” For his portrayal of J. Edgar Hoover, DiCaprio has been nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a favorite to earn the same honor at the Oscars.



A towering figure in American history, J. Edgar Hoover devoted himself to public service, essentially putting aside any personal relationships he might have wanted to have for what he considered to be the greater good. As one who served to gain authority as well as the public’s adoration, he saw his opportunity to achieve both by positioning himself as a supreme crime-fighting figure, a hero of the populace.


DiCaprio said “I think what allowed me to really get a real sense of Hoover I was portraying was that, at its heart, ours is a story about the person inside. Lots of stories have been told about the man, but I feel that his relationships with [close friend] Clyde Tolson, [secretary] Helen Gandy and his mother really forged who he was for the entirety of his life and career. That was what compelled me to go to work every day, and it’s what I hope will intrigue people as they watch the movie.”
Also in the movie is Armie Hammer who play as Clyde Tolson, the fierce ‘lover’ of J. Edgar. They have scenes together that will either shock you or secretly admire. Don’t miss out the most emotionally-charged scene of the movie wherein J. Edgar and Clyde Tolson almost broke up.
J. Edgar stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Naomi Watts, Judi Dench, Armie Hammer, Josh LucasDamon HerrimanKen HowardJeffrey DonovanEd WestwickStephen Root. Under the direction of Clint Eastwood.

The Darkest Hour 3D


The DARKEST HOUR is the story of five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply, fights to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. The 3D thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects.

This is the beginning of an invasion of aliens from outer space, intent on plundering the earth for its mineral deposits. There are some genuinely frightening scenes at the beginning, where a Moscow bridge and the city’s ancient, majestic buildings crumble into the ground, and people snared in the electric tentacles of what looks like floating fairy floss are reduced to ashes.

Sean  (Emile Hirsch) and Ben (Max Minghella), board a plane for Moscow where they discover that their software has been stolen by Styler (Joel Kinnaman), a shonky Swedish middleman purporting to be their Russian contact.

The two men console themselves in one of Moscow’s nightclubs, and are just getting to know two young women on holiday, Natalie , Olivia Thirlby and Anne . Rachel Taylor, when the city is plunged into darkness by a power blackout, and eerily beautiful electric ‘jellyfishes’ start falling from the sky.

The 3D thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects from the minds of visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov  (who created the nonsensical but stylistically imaginative supernatural epics Night Watch and Day Watch), who produces the film and director Chris Gorak (“Right At Your Door”). “The 3D helps to create these epic stages for an intimate story. The core is the relationship between people, that’s a dramatic spine of the movie, what makes the movie emotional,” says Bekmambetov.

The Darkest Hour 3D opens in theaters nationwide on January 25 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Starring: Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Rachael Taylor, Max Minghella, Joel Kinnaman.

Korean Channels Promote “Koreanovelas” to the Filipinos



Korea Communications Commission has recently hosted the Korea Content 2011 at the Marriott Hotel, Resorts World Manila, which was attended by fellow bloggers as well (December 15, 2011). This exclusive event showcased the most prominent and major broadcasting in Korea, like KBS, KBS Media, MBC, CJE & M, Arirang TV (I remember back in 2006, watching English movies from the Arirang TV through Sky Cable)and YTN, in order to market and share their channel's local programs, of which they are confident will become another big hit not only here in the Philippines but from all throughout Asia as well. 

These major broadcasting companies came together in this event to introduce to the Filipino audience their unique steady of soap stream and the introduction of the Korean 3D contents technology (which I got to try for myself and it was awesome!). This will be made possible by CJ Power Cast Inc., a digital broadcasting services company that introduced Harmony, HaeUnDae, Secret and Speed Scandal –popular 3D movies in Korea. 

I think there’s not a Filipino who loved a Korean soap, and fell in love with its characters. And I am sure, just as my bestfriend is a fan, some of us have identified with each emotions these actors and actresses expressed.



“We are proud to showcase our country’s culture, traditions, and interesting history. Generally, Korean dramas dwell on positive universal theme of love, quiet sacrifice, romance, with a touch of comedy which makes the story feel good and interesting to watch. Not to mention, most people will agree that Korean actors are very good looking”, shares by an Arirang channel representative.
