The Greatest Showman

Our friends from BLUE ANT formerly known as RTL CBS Network hosted a screening of The Greatest Showman last night and boy it was good. It's the story of PT Barnum and how he put up his CIRCUS. Well yes, it's a tale on how the Barnum and Bailey Circus roadshow started but there were so many things that were in this movie that made me want to suddenly burst into a song and perform with them. 

The music alone would make this all worthwhile, but let me tell you, this isn't just a Hugh Jackman piece because you'll get a touch of Zac Efron, Michelle Williams, Kealla Settle (The Bearded Lady), Zendaya Coleman as they all take their pipes into another level just so you could hear something so good, you would want to see it again. Nevermind the critics, or the earlier naysayers because this movie is worth every cent. I've read the man's bio and it looked very close to his real lifestory but won't delve too much on the political side, but mostly love, relationships, work and family.  

If you want to see similar shows that astound and entertain, you may opt to watch the Blue Ant channel on cable like what I do with Skycable. They've got America's Got Talent, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and just about every nice hit show in the US on that channel. 

Thank you Blue Ant for having us that evening!

The One That Got Away on GMA

Had the chance to watch THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY this afternoon through an exclusive screening. The series is starred by Dennis Trillo (Liam) and his exes Rhian Ramos (Zoe), Lovi Poe (Alex), Max Collins (Darcy). What would be fun to see is how they (the ladies) were able to keep friendship in tact despite being a common denominator for one guy, the one that got away. This is an original concept by the GMA Entertainment Content Group.

William Dominic “LIAM” Illustre is a businessman, the most prized batchelor in town. When Liam got into an accident, the three ladies found themselves inside the hospital, bedside their exe’s. This looks like a riot, the most awkward scene, but Mark Sikat Dela Cruz (the director) made sure you can differentiate one from the other. They’ve got their families, their friends that would act as their conscience.

Nar Cabico entertained us during the screening. He sang the theme song GAGA which you can find in iTunes and other digital stores, just search for it!

Nar says “I was inspired by people who ask opinions about love, so this song is for them. They learn a thing or two in the song. I’m the best friend of Darcy here, I tell a spade as a spade out of love for a friend, a sister so you will relate to him a little.”

Max says “I am so excited to see the fight scenes, it’s super funny!”

Lovi adds “You’ll see our group’s chemistry, it will show on screen because we blend in even if we are fighting over a guy.”

Rhian says “This comedy is outlandish, I am excited for you to see how the heart is involved with real people.”

Dennis proudly adds “This show is a different mix of people, different personalities so I am do excited for you to see how it will show on the series. It will be shown tomorrow right after Kambal Karibal.”

Saw the first episode, and on thing I can say is... it looks so fun. Their introduction alone had people jeering in the audience. Nar Cabico was hilarious, saying it straightforward means he’s going to be exploding expletives every now and then. When they met, it was awkward, but meant that there are still unfinished business between them and the other ladies which Liam should finish. Their past is colorful, don’t get me wrong, but Liam made sure they are not in a relationship at the same time, he’s doing it fair.

Don’t also discount the fact that their respective families and friends are quite colorful, each having their own characteristics which still end up going for Liam as well. Destiny? Karma? Comedy rolled into one, that I think is TOTGA.

The show also includes Migo Adecer, Jason Abalos, Sophie Albert, Ivan Dorschner, Jason Francisco, Luz Valdez, Ayra Mariano and a lot more!

This is just the start, so if I were you don’t miss the first episode right after Kambal Karibal on GMA Telebabad.

Sofia Andres, Sylvia Sanchez and Diego Loyzaga for Mama's Girl

Had lunch with some of the stars of Regal Film's latest movie called Mama's Girl starring Sofia Andres, Diego Loyzaga and Jameson Blake. They'll also be with premier actress Sylvia Sanchez who'll be leading them into a story of love, and one of the most endearing people in our family, our mothers.

Ms. Roselle Monteverde calls this a movie that inspires, to embrace change so it would bridge the gap between millennials and slightly, older generation. Ms. Sylvia says "If you saw how vulnerable I am in The Greatest Love, you'll see a different Mom here because she's a fighter and you'll see how she gets to accept her child's journey in life. She will also be telling you a story that would question the status of your own family, I consider this a big blessing!"

Sofia Andres on the other hand says "I relate a lot to Abby because she's mirroring our lives when we've become more adventurous as we should and don't even think about how it will affect our parent's lives. It will also discuss life lessons, and you'll learn how she'll fall in love with Nico and Zak in the movie."

The film will also star Yana Asistio, Heaven Peralejo, Karen Reyes, Arlene Mulach, Allan Paule, Alora Sasam and a lot more. This is Regal Film's inspirational drama offering this January 17 on theaters nationwide and is directed by Connie Macatuno.

Maja Salvador Does ‘MAJA ON STAGE’ Tour

Maja Salvador is not letting down. Coming from the success of her soap Wildflower, Maja Salvador is getting her dance prowess another go this February 4 in Cebu in a concert called Maja On Stage. This is a tour which they will start at the IEC Convention Center in Cebu City. Then they'll also be taking it to The Big Box East Jurong in Singapore on February 18 plus another performance on March 23 at the KIA Theater in Quezon City.

“I haven’t been in ASAP lately because of Wildflower, it’s almost all action everyday. It’s also a preparation for my concerts, so my weekdays are for provincial shows and my handler also balances things so I don’t overwork. I’m lucky with my handler who does an absolute good job with my schedules. I also have to have time with my family, my Mom and siblings are in Canada and in the states so that’s where I spent Christmas. I’ll also have my co actors Vhin, Joseph and RK (in the US) with me so you’ll be seeing them there too. It’s been a while since we’ve done a concert and my crew are booked to a brim too so some of them could only go to important meetings, I am just keeping watch. I feel I am using my gut feel to choose the best dances and performing my favorites during these dates so I hope people would appreciate it on the actual show. I won’t be able to have the same production in US or CEBU but KIA will be bigger, that’s what I heard in the meeting. You’ll see music, lights, costumes that I personally chose myself, you will be entertained. Yes this will be WILD!”

”If in the past you’ve seen my leading men in bed, you’ll see Vhin Abrenica and Joseph Marco also fight over me in the show. Vhin can sing, Joseph can do it too so they’ll have solo prods and one with me. It’ll surely be BIG! I’ll be singing in my range and I hope I could further showcase that in the US, Singapore, Cebu and Manila. I’ll be trying my best and singing songs of my idols, I’ll surely try my best to entertain people, that I promise you!”

She will also be with Kakai Bautista, Anna Fegi, Vin Abrenica, Joseph Marco so make sure you get tickets!

Tickets will be sold via IC3 Booth 09325110962, MAV 09260747776, Christina 09372506848. Oh and Maja also hinted that Wildflower will be ending soon, like a month or so. It depends on the script.
