In a few day, it's going to be Valentine's Day. And as much as we can argue well into the wee hours of the morning about how this holiday is more likely the product of greeting card companies and that sort of thing, it's still a day that many people around the world take the time to recognize and celebrate. Like all other holidays, it's a day meant to be spent commemorating a particular event or concept, in this case the wonders of love.
It's far too easy to use this holiday as a time... Read Full Story

Well, it's D-day, or perhaps more like "3D-Day" if you get my drift. By the time this posts, The Phantom Menace would have debuted in local theaters while it's just about ready for release in a few hours over in the US. I can only wonder if people will still line-up for the midnight screenings for a movie they've already seen, albeit in 2D.
But back on topic, this also marks the last of this series of review of all the different Star Wars movies, which has been a rather enjoyable... Read Full Story

The first quarter of the year is one of the busiest times for theater buffs like myself. It feels like almost every single theater group in the metro is determined to up all their shows within such a limited period of time that it's hard to map out which one to watch first. And given overlapping play dates, it becomes very possible that one will end up "sacrificing" one show over the other due to a sheer lack of opportunity.
And throw in the fact that my call center schedule eliminates... Read Full Story

I've received word from my contacts at Ateneo blueREPERTORY that they're staging a revival run of Bare: A Pop Opera starting the end of the month at Teatrino at the Promenade in Greenhills. I have to admit that I missed the 2009 run of the play by the same group and with luck I'll be able to catch this repeat run, if my schedules are nice to me. But with so many things going on, I admit it's going to be a little tricky.
The official press release follows after the cut!

The transformers franchise has come a long way from its humble roots as a meager attempt to import Japanese toys into the US market. The darn thing is practically an empire these days that includes toys, cartoons, comic books, movies and a heck of a lot more. And I don't see it ending anytime soon - something that the kid in me will forever celebrate.
I had been considering getting this rather hefty book for some time but the price always made me a little worried. I had no idea what the... Read Full Story

The initial buzz behind this particular movie had been surprisingly good and that definitely got me curious enough o watch to see it. Although I knew little about the actual movie other than that it was a teen superhero flick with a somewhat alternative spin to things. Alternative is a rather generous term to use and it can mean any number of things. Some of the good and some of them pretty bad, especially with the creative team behind the movie tries too hard to be different.
So one... Read Full Story

It's somewhat scary to consider that I'm just one season away from having reviewed the entire run of Will & Grace . It's taken quite a while to get here given on again, off again viewing schedules for our DVD collection of the series, but as always it has been consistently entertaining from season to season.
And when I say consistently, it just means that I still find the show funny. I have to admit that the quality of the humor and the overall storyline did somewhat degrade given the... Read Full Story

It's kind of crazy how quickly we've been going through the Star Wars movies in this review series - or perhaps it's just crazy how the past 5 weeks have passed us all by so quickly.
But that's neither here nor there - we're here to continue to review all of the Star Wars movies and finally add them to my movie review archive. This started as a sort of timely effort to get this item off my blogging bucket list given the upcoming release of The Phantom Menace in 3D this month but also... Read Full Story

About four years ago, I finally got to watch Wicked at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles since I happened to be in the US for business and some relatives were really, really generous. It was certainly a life-changing experience since it was also the first time I had seen play outside of the Philippines and it's certainly an experience I'll treasure forever.
Fast forward to last year when it was announced that the Marina Bay Sands Theater would be hosting an international staging of the... Read Full Story
