Kakatapos lang namin panoorin kanina and grabe. Mahirap talaga maging mahirap sa bansa natin and sa tingin ko kailangan talaga 'to mapanood ng lahat.

I was speechless dahil di lang maganda yung story pati yung acting and cinematography. Everyone involved did a very good job!

Sobrang deserve ni Pokwang yung Best Actress Award sa movie na 'to. 🏆

For people who already watched this, what do you think?

Discussion Love of Your Life (2026)

"Grief is never finished, but neither is love."

In life, you'll never know if you've done the right thing or made the wrong decisions. Will you ever have the chance to make things right? Will the people you've wronged ever forgive you for the pain you've inflicted? Can we ever be free of the pain we've somehow caused?

One of the most meaningful films I've watched this year. With its slow-paced, calm storytelling, I somehow felt deeply connected to the story itself. I've been through a lot this year, and this film was such a good cry.

A must watch. Don't forget your tissues please.

Hi, Not sure which flair to use but I saw this post by Cinemabravo saying La Bola Negra will be in Theaters this coming October 23, but no specific theaters mentioned.

I also saw an article saying FDCP acquired the local distribution of the film so maybe true? But As I check all the cinemas here( SM cinema, Ayala, Powerplant, Red carpet, Robinsons mivieworld, Ortigas Cinema) di siya listed sa coming soon, also checked Cinemathique wala din showing sa October 23, also wondering if kasama ba PH sa worldwide release ng film sa netflix this December? Knowing na magkaka theatrical run La Bola Negra.

News Street Fighter and You Can See Everything BO numbers

• Upvotes

“You Can See Everything” has generated a massive $15 million over its opening weekend.

Among its opening weekend bona fides, Director Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s much-hyped look at Elizabeth Holmes secured the largest debut for any film playing on under 1,000 screens since 2006’s “Borat,” which ignited to $26 million from 837 theaters (not adjusted for inflation). And it’s the biggest opening for a documentary in over 20 years, since 2004’s seminal “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which premiered to $24 million from 868 theaters (not adjusted for inflation).

Ticket sales for “You Can See Everything” are notable, not just for a documentary, but any arthouse release these days. By comparison, A24’s box office winner “The Drama,” anchored by two of Hollywood’s biggest stars in Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, opened earlier this year to $14.3 million from 3,087 theaters.

Director Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s much-hyped look at Elizabeth Holmes has generated a massive $15 million from just 855 theaters. Those ticket sales were enough for second place behind another newcomer, Paramount’s video game adaptation “Street Fighter,” which opened to $30 million from 3,575 venues. Heading into the weekend, “You Can See Everything” was aiming for $7 million to $8 million, which would have been remarkable for a documentary, especially one that doesn’t involve music or capture a wildly popular concert. Not to mention, this one runs at nearly three hours and wasn’t on anyone’s radar until two months ago.

Elsewhere at the box office, “Street Fighter” collected another $20.1 million overseas for a decent global start of $51.1 million. Critics and audiences were lukewarm on the video game reboot, which landed a “B-” grade on CinemaScore exit polls and a 42% on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji, “Street Fighter” follows two estranged fighters who are recruited to enter a tournament that forces them to face off against each other.

News Scrapped Batfleck's story revealed

Post image

In Joe Manganiello’s autobiography BLOODLINES, he reveals the plot details of Ben Affleck’s scrapped version of THE BATMAN:

* The story would have elements of BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, but with Manganiello's Deathstroke in place of Bane.

* The villain would torment the hero after being convinced by Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) that the masked vigilante killed his son.

* To break the protagonist physically and mentally, Deathstroke would kill Commissioner Gordon (J.K. Simmons) and kidnap Alfred (Jeremy Irons).

* The antagonist would also invade the Batcave at a certain point in the plot.

* Batgirl would be part of the script and nearly killed alongside Batman by the villain in an action sequence, before the duo escapes on a train.

* The third act would bring a mano a mano confrontation between Batman and Deathstroke through the streets of Gotham, inspired by the duo's fight in the game BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS.

I went to the cinema without any expectations and thought it will be a cringe adaptation but surprisingly hindi ko mabilang kung ilan hampas tawa ko sa katabi ko. Now na 4 AM and may shift ako, naiisip ko lahat nung jokes nila and funny moments and gusto ko panoorin ulit.

Mababaw siguro kaligayahan ko pero may sister who is a teenager na snob laughed too much too and liked it so much. Hindi pa kami tapos tumawa, may nakakatawa nanaman na nangyari.

Also I hate horrors and of course tinatakpan ko mata ko kapag may mga scary or nakakagulat na part sa movie. Sakto lang yung horror part. Hindi ka babangutin type shi.

Sa nakakaiyak na mga part, magaling yung acting nila Bea and Wil. Now ko lang sila napanood and pareho silang magaling umarte!

Yun lang hahaha yawa ang funny talaga.

Francis Lawrence has been set to direct a film adaptation of Pierce Brown’s New York Times bestselling sci-fi book ‘Red Rising’ for Paramount.

‘Red Rising’ follows Darrow, a “Red” miner on Mars who discovers his people have been enslaved by the ruling Gold caste. After being remade to infiltrate Gold society, he joins a rebellion seeking to overthrow his world’s color-based hierarchy.

Justin Rhodes, a writer-producer with credits like Terminator: Dark Fate and the Prime Video series Secret Level, will write the script. Lawrence and Cameron MacConomy will produce for about:blank alongside Francesco Goedhuis, with author Brown executive producing.

The deal marks the latest high-profile book adaptation set up at Paramount, which releases a big-budget take on Tomi Adeyemi’s YA romantic fantasy novel Children of Blood and Bone on January 15, 2027. Others upcoming include Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow — in theaters November 12, 2027 — and The Midnight Library.

Best known for directing five Hunger Games films — including The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, out November 20 — Lawrence is coming off the Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk for Lionsgate. Most recently, he inked a deal with the same studio for Carry Me to My Grave, an adaptation of a recently published horror novel by Christopher Golden that he’s eyeing to direct and produce.

What's your take on his upcoming show, The Fisher?

According to Mon, he has immersed himself with the real life of a fisherman in the Philippines. He even uttered in his post that the art of acting is difficult in a way that you have to be someone that is so different from the real you.

Do all artists or atleast most of them feel the same way too?

so, I rewatched this Sarah G and JL movie, grabe lang yung kilig ko sa dulo, sa mga bloopers, and parang iba rin talaga kilig ni Sarah G kay JL hahahahahaha

the behind the scenes clips make you wonder kung gaano ba talaga sila ka-comfortable with each other, Sarah G and JL really had that kind of chemistry na mahirap i-replicate

also, the movie hits differently when you’re older, mas naiintindihan mo na yung idea na love isn’t always enough if you’re not ready to meet each other halfway. sometimes, you can love someone so much pero kailangan mo pa rin piliin yung sarili mo.

No cheap music or exaggerated scenes to make you cry. The pain is pure and real.

Di natin deserve ang kahayupang nangyayari sa Pilipinas but here we are. The film doesn't offer hope or solution but it raises awareness sa bulok na sistema natin and calls out who needs to be called out. No one is safe.

Chase starting from the woods to this moment is sobrang haba tapos yung humahabol sobrang bilis pero di sila maabutan. Napapa-"ha?" nalang ako.

Pero it's unique in a way na sa isang scene may horse/car/alien chase combined in one.

Saka eto paparang di namamatay yung dalawang bida kahit hinampas na at hinagis sa trunk ng puno?

Location is mostly Metro Manila, if you need help with transportation we will do our best to set you up with the finances needed if ever.

If you are interested, DM me and we can set up a conference call to get the ball rolling :DD

Video/Short Film Always Lalisa in PH cinemas Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

It follows the usual formula of showing the celebrity’s grassroots ➡️ struggles ➡️ climb ➡️ peak ➡️ what’s next. There were multiple POVs and I didn’t see any reused shots or scenes (unless I missed them). The film mainly covers the year before and up to her Coachella performance. It started with talking about her name and ended with her name.

I cried twice as an iyakin: 1st was when Lisa was talking about her dance mentor who passed away from cancer and the 2nd cry was when her father was talking fondly about Lisa’s efforts.

My thoughts:

I think it’s a good celebrity life documentary but not the best. I’m sure fans loved it as much as the effort that was poured into making the film.

The timing of this release seems a bit too early in her career. I guess they also factored in how Lisa’s parents are getting older, especially her father who’s on dialysis. It’s great to have their interview portions in the film.

Lisa’s videos from childhood and competitions she joined were really great to see on screen. It really felt personal and nostalgic.

But there were moments where I wasn’t able to capture and empathize with some of the struggles. I feel like the pacing in some scenes needed to slow down a little bit for the viewers to soak in the emotions, but then I might just be one of the few who thinks of this.

Also, there’s a part where the lights, colors and scenes were rapidly flashing. I think it’s to hype the next part of the film, but it would’ve been nice if there was a warning or heads up that there’ll be something like that especially for those who are prone to seizures and eye strain/fatigue.

Film’s ending left me bereft. It feels like it was a bit abrupt.

Anyone else who saw this film? Thoughts?
