Cinema One puts Kathniel in the spotlight !

Tweet

Starting things off with today’s hottest teen love team, Cinema One gives a special treat to its viewers with a month-long feature on Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla’s hit movie “Must Be Love”.

Produced by Star Cinema and directed by Dado Lumibao, “Must Be Love” is the first solo film of the teen tandem where they were cast in a leading role, following their appearances as part of star-studded casts in “24/7 in Love” and “Sisterakas”. It was shot in different locations around the Philippines, including Cebu and Laguna—and was even taken abroad to Berlin, Germany.

The film tells the story of two childhood friends, Patricia (Kathryn Bernardo) and Ivan (Daniel Padilla). Growing up together and discovering the changes that come with age, different possibilities open up for the two.

As they get older, Patricia begins to realize that she has feelings for her best friend, but begins to question if he feels the same way. Things get even more complicated when her cousin Angel (Liza Soberano) comes into the picture—and Ivan starts to show interest in a different girl instead.

With the two teen actors in the leading roles, “Must Be Love” served as a benchmark for the two. It even served as a platform for Daniel Padilla’s hit song “Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat,” which was the film’s theme song, to skyrocket to the top of the music hit charts.

In a review from pep.ph, the film was labeled as “a welcome alternative to the slew of teen movies and romantic flicks,” setting it apart from what the Filipino audience had grown accustomed to. Writer Jennifer Dugena of the website said, “It is also a perfect teen movie recommended not just for KathNiel fans but also for adults… ‘Must Be Love’ is a rare film that is cute and light as much as it is serious and heavy.”

Don’t miss out on the KathNiel love team in “Must Be Love” airing on Cinema One this month. Catch it on January 18 at 8:00pm, January 24 at 3:00pm, and January 28 at 7:00pm.

This stars with Pokwang, Enchong Dee, Jessy Mendiola, Jestoni Alarcon, Pooh, Ogie Diaz, Ejay Falcon, Chokoleit, K Brosas, Dianne Medina, Alex Castro, Aaron Villaflor and John “Sweet” Lapus.

“Call Center Girl” offers a moral lesson for the Filipino family. Call Center Girl gives a look into the plight of OFWs and how the absence of parents who are working abroad affect their families and children. This movie is set against the backdrop of the Philippines’ fast growing call center industry.

Pokwang said that she's very proud to be here in the movie, with great director, movie writers, and stars. She also said that they really been inspired of doing this movie. “Binigay ko na ng todo lahat dito. I’m sure mamahalin nila ang pelikulang ito kasi maganda ang kuwento. Yung director namin napakahusay. Proud ako dito.”

“I’m very, very proud of this crazy movie of ours,” added by Pokwang.



This Call Center Girl movie is the first collaboration with Don Cuaresma, who is known for his superb work in ABS-CBN’s top-rating soaps Ina, Kapatid, Anak, Maria La Barrio; Rubi, and 100 Days To Heaven and scriptwriter Kriz Gazmen who was part of the creative team behind Star Cinema’s blockbuster movies No Other Woman, Sisterakas, and Ang Tanging Ina Nyong Lahat.

She shared to us what the story about. “Isa akong dating OFW. Napalayo ako sa mga anak ko and then 'yung bunso ko, siya 'yung medyo lumayo ang loob sa akin. Pagbalik ko dito, gusto kong mabuo ulit ang pamilya ko kaya pinasok ko ang call center.”

The cast , director and writer of Call Center Girl during the blog conference held at the Star Cinema office, ABS-CBN, Nov 18. 2013

Pokwang, as Teresa, plays a call center agent who is still adjusting to her job. She chooses to endure the attitude of her mean team leader, played by Enchong Dee, for the sake of keeping her family whole. As a desperate race against time to unite her family and win back the affections of her estranged daughter Regina (Jessy Mendiola). By some twist of fate, Teresa (who worked in a cruise ship for 13 years) lands a job in a call center where her daughter Regina is also employed thus providing her with the perfect opportunity to rekindle her broken relationship with her daughter. 

In the process, Teresa encounters a diverse bunch of people from different walks of life, including their team leader Vince (Enchong Dee). She then gradually appreciates the concept of extended families and ultimately, Teresa, Regina, and even Vince learns the true value of family as they discover their individual purposes in life.

Enchong once again showcases his very wide and impressive range as an actor,” Cuaresma said.
Jessy is also equally very brilliant in the film, she is a natural comedian. And Pokwang's comic timing is her flair for comedy never ceases to amaze me. It’s been quite a while since we saw Pokwang in a major comedic role in a full-length feature film,” Cuaresma added.

Ejay Falcon, from PBB said this is his first comedy movie. "I'm thankful to Star Cinema for giving me a chance to work with great director and cast.”

Enchong shared “It’s such a challenge to make other people laugh and I learned a lot from our director and my co-actors, I grew as an actor in making this film and it’s great to take a break from drama this time. It was so fun to play the vicious role of Vince. It’s exciting to see how his character will turn out in the movie.”

“Call Center Girl,” a riotous and has all the elements of a good and unforgettable family movie, set to hit the theaters nationwide on November 27.

Following the devastation brought about by super typhoon “Yolanda,” comedienne Pokwang believes it is time for Filipinos to laugh again. Pokwang said she hopes her upcoming comedy “Call Center Girl” can boost the Filipino spirit after the typhoon battered the Visayas and left thousands of people dead. "Naiintinidihan naman po namin na may pinagdadaanan ang bansa natin pero ang pelikulang ito, nawa’y muling maghatid ng ngiti sa mga Pilipino," Pokwang added. 

Jericho's "Alagwa" (Breakaway) in Mainstream Cinemas

Tweet

Jericho Rosales’ award-winning indie film Alagwa (Breakaway) will finally have a Philippine mainstream theatrical release under Star Cinema, in line with its 20th anniversary. The production received an 'A' grade from the cinema evaluation board.

Jericho's first local indie movie, "Alagwa" is an advocacy film about human trafficking and inspired by a popular urban legend about a child's disappearance in Chinatown Manila. The film uncovers the dark facets of the underground business of human trafficking in the Philippines.

"Alagwa" has been showcased as an official selection in various international film festivals last year around the world. As having won numerous awards, most recent of which is its victory globally at the 2013 Newport Beach Film Festival where Jericho won Outstanding Achievement in Film Acting and locally at the 2013 36th Gawad Urian and Gawad Tanglaw where he won best actor trophies for his superb portrayal in this intense and chilling advocacy film that centers on the loving relationship of a father and a son and how it is shattered by human trafficking.

Prior to the Newport Beach Film Festival, Alagwa was first showcased at the Busan International Film festival in Korea where it was called one of the Best of the Fest and profusely praised by The Hollywood Reporter, which described Alagwa as a low-budget standout: 

“This sophomore effort from young Filipino director, Ian Loreños, is not only a powerful film about human trafficking; it is also a small gem portraying a father-son relationship with nothing fake or sentimental about it.” 

The Reporter also commended the topnotch performance of Jericho and child actor Bugoy Cariño: “The film owes a great deal to the natural chemistry between singer-actor Rosales and Cariño, the child star of the TV series E-Boy, whose playful, mischievous nature contrasts with Rosales’s nervous hen approach to child-rearing. The spontaneity is a welcome change from the usual parent-child sentimentality on screen.” 

Jericho’s performance was moreover described as such “Nagging, brusque and critical, Rosales expertly conveys the over-compensation of the single-parent in the tough love Robert (Rosales’s character) shows his son.”

Alagwa since then toured Malaysia (Asean International Film Festival), participated in three festivals in India, in Cambodia, as well as in Palm Beach International Film Festival where it sold out on both nights that it was shown.

The movie had several special screenings in Manila, particularly in 2012’s Cinema One Originals festival, and it also had two special private screenings at the residence of USA Ambassador Harry Thomas. In the last week of September, it was given the distinction of having been chosen as the Best Indie Narrative Feature in the World by the Third World Indie Festival in Milpitas, California among 700 entries from 30 countries.

U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Harry K. Thomas, Jr. and
"Alagwa" (Breakaway) director Ian Lorenos.

The US government, through Thomas, is in full support of Alagwa as the film aggressively exposes human trafficking and the plight of the people who are victimized by it.

With the upcoming mainstream theatrical release of Alagwa here in the country, Jericho (who is also co-producer of the film) and director Ian Loreños (who won best indie director and best screenplay writer in the 2013 PMPC Star Awards for Movies) are united not only in entertaining Pinoy moviegoers, but also in educating them about the horrors of human trafficking. 

“Anybody can be victimized by human trafficking as it doesn’t choose any gender and social class. This is a serious issue that needs our serious attention,” explains Jericho.

Alagwa also stars Leo Martinez, Smokey Manaloto, Nanette Inventor, John Manalo, Jeremiah Rosales, Iñaki Ting, Garry Lim, Jamieson Lee, EJ Caro and in a very special cameo role, the beautiful Malaysian star, Carmen Soo. Awit Awardee Gabriel Valenciano produced and arranged the musical score of the movie. 

The film aims to donate a portion of the proceeds of the film to several organizations championing the cause of human trafficking such as Visayan Forum and Called To Rescue.

The film is supported by ABS-CBN, Smart, Manila Genesis Entertainment and Management in cooperation with ASAP 18, CenturyPacific (555 Sardines), Kaseki, Collezione, Mesa Grille and the Philippine Star.

Star Cinema and Reality Entertainment action-thriller "OTJ" (On The Job) with Piolo, Gerald and Joel Torre

Tweet

Star Cinema and Reality Entertainment action-thriller "OTJ" (On The Job) with most of the talented actors in the country namely Piolo Pascual, Gerald Anderson, Joey Marquez and Joel Torre and directed by award-winning film director Erik Matti, is finally set on August 28, 2013.

Direk Erik Matti was inspired to make action after the thriller - horror genres of Tiktik:The Aswang Chronicles.

"OTJ" features Piolo as an NBI agent who aims to hunt down Gerald's character who is a professional hitman.

Director Erik Matti, leading man Piolo Pascual and comedian/host Joey Marquez shared so many interesting stories about their experience in France and the making of OTJ film, during the blogcon last Sunday held at the ABS-CBN bldg.

Direk Eric said that “OTJ” can stand as a film because of its interesting story. This is not just an ordinary action movie It’s not like other regular local action movies that have scenes like actors are punching their face to each another, brutality, killing, and others, OTJ features a lot of action sequences and chase scene ever in Philippine cinema.

You must watch this film because it is a movie that has lot of action sequences you never watch in other local action films.

As Direk Erik shared his feelings on the film OTJ needed more push. "We feel that this project, if this works in the mainstream, this will open up the doors to other films in mainstream and that would be good for us as an industry na marami ng iba-ibang movies yung magagawa.”

"For years puro lang tayo female-driven movies. Now yung mga lalaki ang tatamad narin tumayo at manood hanggat hindi pinipilit mag-date,”he added.

Joey Marquez said that this film opens up the gate to widen our views na maraming pwedeng mangyari na akala natin hindi nangyayari."

"If this works in the mainstream, this will open up the doors to other kinds of films and that will be good for us." Direk Erik said.

"I think you just have to have respect for the craft. You don't bring your work home kasi yun ang time mo sa sarili mo e," Piolo added.

"If you look at my filmography lahat ng di pwedeng gawin, yun ang ginagawa ko. Nung hindi uso ang bold, gumawa ako ng bold. Masaya lang kasi na you can do other things other than what's accepted and you'll find out if people will bite the project or not. And easily if it doesn't work, charge it to experience."

"Sometimes you want to push what you can offer the audience kasi di ba if you keep on doing the same thing parang [wala rin siya.] This one is a risk, I know, but we're happy with the kind of action film that we're doing because it is a modern Pinoy action film," Matti added.

"Whether you're a fan of action or not, we think everyone's going to enjoy the film."

Direk Erik said that “OTJ” was screened at the Directors’ Fortnight at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The film received standing ovation during its premiere at the 66th Cannes Film Festival. The Erik Matti masterpiece was one of the 21 feature films of the prestigious Directors’ Fortnight section of Cannes.

Star Cinema shares to Pinoy moviegoers Asia's funniest ghost story...PEE MAK

Tweet

MARIO MAURER'S BLOCKBUSTER HORROR-COMEDY MOVIE "PEE MAK" TO HIT PH CINEMAS IN AUGUST

In its continuing celebration of its two glorious decades in the movie industry, Star Cinema distributes to Philippine cinemas Thailand's highest-grossing film of all time--"Pee Mak," a one-of-a-kind horror-comedy film that stars Thai superstar Mario Maurer. Asia's funniest ghost story "Pee Mak" is slated to be shown on theaters nationwide on August 28 (Wednesday).

After tackling relevant family issues in "Four Sisters And A Wedding," eye-opening connected tales of life, dream, and love in Skylight Films' drama-comedy film "Tuhog," and highly relatable ordeal of moving on from heart break in "Bakit Hindi Ka Crush Ng Crush Mo" that was shown nationwide started July 31, Star Cinema and its loyal viewers will soon talk about a scary but funny tale of great love shared through Thailand's popular legend of Pee Mak and his ghost wife Nak (Davika Hoorne).

Directed by blockbuster director Banjong Pisanthanakun, who had previously helmed box-office horror films like “Shutter”, “4BIA” and “Phobia 2”, "Pee Mak" was also released in other Asian countries including Taiwan, Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

Produced by GTH Films, "Pee Mak"s fresh take on a familiar tale, quickly rode high to Thailand's box-office as it reached USD 33 million with 10 million tickets sold nationwide.

Together with Mario and Thai sweetheart Davika in "Pee Mak" are Thailand's funny foursome namely, Nuttapong Chartpong, Pongsatorn Jongwilas, Kantapat Permpoonpatcharasuk and Attharut Khongrasri.

· Synopsis 

During the beginning of the Rattanakosin Dynasty, many Thai men were drafted to serve in the war. “Pee Mak” or “Mak” (Mario Maurer) was no exception and had to leave his pregnant wife to join the fight. While at war, he met, saved, and formed a close bond with four fellow soldiers: “Ter” (Nuttapong Chartpong), “Puak” (Pongsatorn Jongwilas), “Shin” (Attrarut Khongrasri), and “Aey” (Kantapat Permpoonpatcharasuk) – (The 4 main cast from Phobia 2 Episode “In The End”)

Once the war was over, Mak invited his four best friends to visit his home at a town called Phra Khanong. When they arrived to Phra Khanong, Mak introduced them to his beautiful wife “Nak” (Davika Hoorne) and “Dang” his newborn baby boy. Ter, Puak, Shin, and Aey decided to stay in Phra Khanong for a while and moved into the old house across from Mak’s house. Despite having met Nak and Dang, a village rumor was going around that Nak had died giving birth to her stillborn baby, Dang.

It turns out that Auntie Priak, owner of the local liquor shop, was the source of the town rumor. This was completely absurd to Ter, Puak, Shin, and Aey. The four friends refused to believe this to be true and were determined to prove the rumors wrong.

Aunty Priak was found dead a few days later, her body floating along the river. Up until this point Ter, Puak, Shin, and Aey had never considered the possibility that Nak and her baby could be dead and now lingered on as haunting ghosts.

Initially, the four friends didn’t dare tell Mak about their suspicions because they were afraid that they would end up just like Aunty Priak. It didn't take long before their conscience caught up with them and they realized they owed Mak the truth since he had once saved all of their lives. Now they must risk their own lives to somehow convey to Mak that the living and dead shouldn't coexist together.

In the end, it will be up to Pee Mak to choose between love and reality.

Don't miss "Pee Mak," a comedy-horror film for the whole family that will be shown on Philippine cinemas in August 28, 2013.

Skylight Films presents Bromance: My Brother’s Romance with Zanjoe Marudo

Tweet

Skylight films swings to comedy for the first time with Bromance: My Brother's Romance.

Skylight Films has always been known for its edgy, out-of-the-box movies. This is their first crack at the comedy genre after two successful horror-suspense thrillers, Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang and Amorosa.

After two successful horror films, Skylight Films brings moviegoers another novel movie experience with Bromance: My Brother’s Romance. This will be shown on May 15, 2013.

This is  directed by box-office comedy director Wenn Deramas, Bromance: My Brother’s Romance is also the first time that hunky actor Zanjoe Marudo takes on a lead part and dual role as twins—one of whom is a tough-talking, macho guy and the other, gay.

The story of Bromance: 

My Brother’s Romance revolves around the lives of twins Brando and Brandy. Because Brando has problems accepting his twin’s being gay, he decides to make a life of his own, put up an auto repair business and become a mechanic. Meanwhile, Brandy sets out on a path of his own and becomes a successful interior designer.

The twins continue on separate paths until one day, their mother begs them to set aside their differences and reconcile. So Brandy sets off to look for his brother but meets an unfortunate accident that renders him unconscious. While Brandy is in a coma, Brando learns that just before the accident happened, his brother was in the final stages of negotiating a multi-million peso design deal with a client.

Afraid that they would lose everything with Brandy in a coma, Brando decides to pull a twin switch and pose as his gay brother. So the former straight, tough-talking and macho Brando turns into the gay Brandy!

While posing as his gay twin, Brando realizes that not only will this deal solve all of his financial problems, it also gives him a chance to set things right with Erika (Cristine Reyes), Brandy’s good

friend that he used to have a crush on.

Now that the world has turned upside-down—with Brando assuming Brandy’s happy and gay personality—is there any hope that life will go back to normal for the twins? Will Brandy wake up in time, find out the switch his twin pulled and save everything?

The answers are in Bromance: My Brother’s Romance, which hits theatres on May 15. This gender-bending comedy also features “Karakaraka”, the single from Vice Ganda’s new dance album, as its theme song.

Also in the cast of Bromance: My Brother’s Romance are Arlene Muhlach, Joy Viado, Manuel Chua, Boom Labrusca, Joey Paras, Lassy, Nikki Valdez, Maricar De Mesa, Abbie Bautista, Carlo Romero and Jeff Luna.
