MICHAEL KEATON WINS GOLDEN GLOBES’ BEST ACTOR AWARD FOR “BIRDMAN”

Image
  This year’s Best Actor at the Golden Globes was recently awarded to Michael Keaton for his portrayal as an aging actor bent on pushing further his feats by starring directing in a play in the dark comedy “Birdman.” Keaton, who also played the iconic Dark Knight in previously released blockbuster “Batman” movies, flies and dares to fight all odds to prove himself worthy of acclaim in his winning performance in the highly-lauded and celebrated “Birdman” movie. “Birdman,” directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu with whom he also co-wrote with Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, Jr. and Armando Bo was also awarded this year’s Best Screenplay for a motion picture at the Golden Globes. In “Birdman,” Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) hopes that by spearheading an ambitious new Broadway play he will, among other things, revive his moribund career. In many ways, it is a deeply foolhardy move – but the former cinema superhero has high hopes that this creative gambit will legitimize him as...

ACADEMY AWARD® WINNER REESE WITHERSPOON TREKS HARSH NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN “WILD”

Image
      An Academy Award-winning actress with a string of iconic performances behind her, Reese Witherspoon takes on perhaps her most challenging role yet in “Wild” - based on the bestselling and strikingly honest memoir “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail” by author Cheryl Strayed. While audiences will perhaps forever remember her as the charming lead of “Legally Blonde” - the film that first propelled her to stardom - or as the redoubtable winning performance as June Carter Cash in “Walk The Line,” now they will see her in a startling new light in “Wild.” As Cheryl Strayed, a woman who sought to recover her life and discover herself by walking the thousand-mile Pacific Crest Tale, Witherspoon was required to take her most physically and emotionally demanding screen journey. “Reese’s love for the book was so clear and deep, she really had a profound grasp on who this woman was. She was also up for an incredible challenge, ready to go completely out o...

“10 Kumainments” pushed in 17 Regions to combat Unhealthy Diet and Lifestyle

Image
  It’s high time that people from our nation learned and know how to prevent sickness and diseases  by abiding such commands and the practical eating habit that we need to teach to our Children and Children’s children. And it is good that our government gives emphasis through various agencies and though some of our people needs nutritional help, I believe this should go hand in hand with this campaign. After its successful launch in Metro Manila, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) pushes its“10 Kumainments” campaign to all 17 regions of the country, through the local government units (LGUs) as its drivers. The campaign, which provides “the recommended guide” for Filipinos to obtain a healthy diet by following simple guidelines, has been translated into local dialects, including Cebuano and Ivatan. The NNC-ARMM(Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) has even made a transliteration of the nutritional guidelines in Arabic and called it the Nutritional Guidelines for Muslim ...

BARRELS OF NO-HOLDS-BARRED ACTION SEQUENCE IN “TAKEN 3”

Image
  Like a big typhoon, the action never stops in the third instalment of the blockbuster franchise “Taken” that cemented Liam Neeson as cinema’s newest and most unexpected action hero. “Taken 3” brings Liam Neeson’s character Bryan Mills to the extreme as his particular set of skills is pushed to the edge when his reconciliation with his ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) is tragically cut short when she is brutally murdered. Consumed with rage, and framed for the crime, he goes on the run to evade the relentless pursuit of the CIA, FBI and the police. For one last time, Mills must use his “particular set of skills,” to track down the real killers, exact his unique brand of justice, and protect the only thing that matters to him now – his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace). The world will once again cheer and root for the overprotective father, Mills, whose skills, forged through years of covert ops – continue to be put to the test long after his retirement from the CIA. TAKEN 3 sees Bryan...
