Full Movie Trailer

...coming soon in cinemas!

The Spirit is an action/adventure film based from Will Eisner’s graphic novel.

Synopsis: “The Spirit” tells the story of a man who fakes his own death and fights crime from the shadows of Central City. The Octopus — who kills anyone unfortunate enough to see his face — has other plans. He’s going to wipe out the entire city. The Spirit tracks this coldhearted killer from the city’s rundown warehouses, to the damp catacombs, to the windswept waterfront…all the while facing a bevy of beautiful women who either want to seduce, love or kill the masked crusader.

Starring: Gabriel Macht (Because I Said So), Samuel L. Jackson (Snakes on a Plane, Jumper), Eva Mendes (Hitch, 2 Fast 2 Furious), Sarah Paulson and Scarlett Johansson (The Nanny Diaries).


Synopsis: A pampered Beverly Hills Chihuahua named Chloe finds herself accidentally lost in the mean streets of Mexico without a day spa or Rodeo Drive boutique anywhere in sight. Now alone for the first time in her spoiled life, she must rely on some unexpected new friends -- including a street-hardened German Shepherd named Delgado and an amorous pup named Papi -- to lend her a paw and help her to find her inner strength on their incredible journey back home.

Filth and Wisdom - Madonna

Posted by JENG |

Synopsis: Madonna's directorial debut, Filth and Wisdom, is a hilariously sexy tale of three roommates who must delve into mischievous and naughty behavior in pursuit of bigger and brighter futures. A Ukrainian immigrant, A.K. (Eugene Hutz), finances his dreams of 'trans-continental superstardom' with his band, Gogol Bordello, by turning tricks as a role-playing cross dresser. As A.K. literally whips the privileged of London into shape, he also secretly pines for the object of his affection, Holly (Holly Weston), an aspiring ballerina looking for her big break while moonlighting as a slippery stripper. Meanwhile, Juliette (Vicky Mclure) steals medicine from her pharmaceutical job in hopes of quenching her dreams of helping Africa's youth. Filth and Wisdom is every bit as erotic and playful as it is poignant and touching, revealing the universal struggles we all face in our pursuits of happiness.

Quantum of Solace is the 22nd James Bond film by EON Productions, due for release in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2008 and in North America on 14 November. The sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale, it is directed by Marc Forster, and features Daniel Craig's second performance as James Bond. In the film, Bond battles Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d'état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd, and is assisted by Camille (Olga Kurylenko), who also wants to kill Greene.

Producer Michael G. Wilson created the film's plot while Casino Royale was shooting. Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Paul Haggis and Joshua Zetumer contributed to the script. The title was chosen from an unrelated 1960 short story in Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only. Location filming took place in Panama, Chile, Italy and Austria, while the sets were built at Pinewood Studios. Forster aimed to make the film more modern yet classic: antique planes were used for a dogfight sequence, while Dennis Gassner's set designs are reminiscent of Ken Adam's work on several early Bond films, yet Forster rejected a grotesque appearance for Greene to comment on the hidden nature of the film's corporate villains.

Cast:
Daniel Craig plays James Bond.
Mathieu Amalric plays Dominic Greene, a leading member of Quantum posing as a businessman working in reforestation and charity funding for environmental science.
Olga Kurylenko plays Camille, a Russian-Bolivian agent and the lead Bond girl.
Gemma Arterton plays MI6 Agent Fields, who works at the British consulate in Bolivia.
Judi Dench plays M.
Jeffrey Wright plays Felix Leiter, Bond's CIA ally who aided him at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
Anatole Taubman plays Elvis, Dominic's cousin and second-in-command.
Giancarlo Giannini plays Rene Mathis, a French double agent who helps Bond discover for whom Le Chiffre and Mr. White worked.
Joaquin Cosío plays General Medrano, who is Bond's enemy in Latin America
Jesper Christensen plays Mr. White, whom Bond captured after he stole the money won at Casino Royale in Montenegro.
Rory Kinnear plays Bill Tanner, M's aide, and Tim Pigott-Smith plays the British Foreign Secretary.

Billy: The Early Years is a biopic drama from Rocky Mountain Pictures featuring the life story of popular evangelist Billy Graham.

Starring: Martin Landau, Lindsay Wagner, Jennifer O’Neill and Armie Hammer as the young Billy Graham. Armie Hammer will also play the role of Batman in the upcoming movie “Justice League.”

Gist: A portrait of Billy Graham, the self-assured and charismatic preacher who became one of the most important figures of 20th Century Christianity, against the backdrop of his relationship with Charles Templeton, another gifted young preacher whose faith could not withstand the onslaught of scientific skepticism. Billy’s struggle with the ideas represented in Templeton’s eventual unbelief, and his own faith, went on to change the face of modern evangelism.


Star Cinema has definitely found another gem via My Only Ü as Box Office Movie Director Cathy Garcia-Molina explained its simple but heart warming plot in its recent press conference. “Tungkol po ito sa isang taong nagmamahal, at nagkataong yung taong mahal niya ay mamamatay na. Si Vhong (Navarro) ang may unrequited love kay Toni (Gonzaga) who’s dying. He thought so. Ang question lang talaga, kung ang taong mahal mo ay mamamatay na, ano’ng gagawin mo in the last days of her life?” The film’s music video (You Can’t Hurry Love) alone plus its publicity posters showing Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro hanging on a clothesline have already captured the interest of many viewers. How did they come up with that idea anyway? “Yung poster, it’s actually a literal translation of putting oneself on the line for the other. Pinisikal masyado pero yun po yun,” Direk Cathy adds

Starring: Toni Gonzaga, Vhong Navarro, Dennis Padilla, Janus Del Prado, Arlene Muhlach, KitKat, Empoy Marquez, and Benjie Paras
Directed by: Cathy Garcia-Molina
Release Date: October 29, 2008
Producer: Star Cinema




Synopsis: Joaquin (Polo Ravales) an unassuming fisherman, is forced to confront his homosexuality when his sex-starved wife Cynthia (Althea Vega) returns from her overseas job eager to get pregnant. His young and impulsive lover, Waldo (Joseph Bitangcol), flees to Manila in disgust. After a month of hesitation, Joaquin leaves his wife to follow Waldo. His search takes him on a seamy yet colorful trip through Manila’s gay underbelly. He discovers Waldo’s dangerous flirtation with Rufo (Emilio Garcia), a bisexual rogue cop who holds the clue to Waldo’s disappearance. Rufo lures Joaquin into his home and introduces him to his submissive wife, Beng (Jean Garcia). A sadist who beats up Beng regularly, Rufo turns Joaquin into a prisoner and sex slave — like he did to Waldo. When Joaquin is finally reunited with Waldo, he discovers that Rufo is about to sell them like fish to an international sex trafficking ring, along with his personal harem of male and female captives. With Beng’s help, the two lovers plot their escape.
