Release date: 21 June 2017 (Philippines) Director: Michael Bay Based on: Transformers; by Hasbro Budget: 260 million USD Music composed by: Steve Jablonsky Bonifacio High Street Central Square Cinemas This long-awaited movie is worth it.  Yes, it's still very long even if Michael Bay shortened it(a little more than 2 1/2 hours), but the scenes were pretty exciting, so I didn't notice the time.  For a non-expert or ordinary viewer I could say I love the special effects. As for the story?  It needs work.  Ear...

While hanging with pals Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), movie star Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier) gets a phone call from Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven), his former agent, who now runs a major studio. Ari offers Vince the leading role in his first production, but  the actor insists on also directing the film. Things get out of hand when the $100 million flick goes over budget, leaving Ari, Vince and the boys at the mercy of the cutthroat world of Hollywood.- imdb Initial release :  May 27, 2015 ( New York City ) Director :  Doug Ellin Running time :  1h 44m Adapted from :  Entourage Producer :  Mark Wahlberg ENTOURAGE is definitely not for the conservative(reactions:disgusting, chauvinistic, appalling, yuck, anti-women, etc.), but even so, the story as *a whole*, pardon the pun, is good.  Honestly, I rarely, close to never, watch this on HBO and was actually hoping to watch so...

Teaser Trailer MPAA Rating : (PG-13) Film Ratings Board in the Philippines Rating (G) Parents' Guide Is it all about the money?  Why say it's for the General Audience when it's supposed to be PG 13? After all, kids would still go with their parents.  Are they encouraging younger kids to go hooky or something? The good thing about this (except for die-hard Transformers fans who hate the amplified human aspect) is that more people appreciate this movie more.   I also like the Father ( Mark Wahlberg )-Daughter  ( Nicola Peltz )  aspect, but hated the fact that Tessa  was such a screamer.  When Tessa was caught and taken to that place , I thought she was going to save the day.  Thankfully, she was able to notice something  and that something  helped them a bit. My nephew wondered about the fire breathing dinosaurs and asked, "Aren't the fire breathers supposed to be dragons, Tati?" My answer was "Yes!" Bac...

“I will never quit. My nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down i will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my enemies and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight.”  ―  Marcus Luttrell ,  Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 Not everyone in Afghanistan is an enemy. This is what I was reminded of while watching this film.  I watched this film without reading the book, seeing the trailer or reading reviews.  As a matter of fact, we were not even planning to watch this movie that Monday afternoon.  We were just supposed to go shopping for small tokens for our relatives that we were going to meet the following evening. After a hearty lunch at My Little Buttercup, I went upstairs to see if there was something worthwhile to watch. Since dad had a meeting later that afternoon, I ...
