Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Unleashes Epic New Trailer for the Upcoming Second Season

San Diego was transformed into Middle-earth on Friday, as Prime Video showcased the highly anticipated second season of the epic series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay were joined on the iconic Hall H stage by over a dozen cast members for a lively and insightful conversation moderated by Emmy-nominated actress and renowned genre fan Yvette Nicole Brown (Avengers: Endgame, Community).

The ensemble cast thrilled the 6,500 fans who packed the massive convention center hall by unveiling a brand-new exclusive trailer for the upcoming season. The action-packed trailer focuses on the long-feared reemergence of the legendary villain Sauron, heralding the return of darkness and evil to Middle-earth after many years of hard-fought peace among all of its realms. The trailer also highlighted the creation of more of the titular Rings of Power, forged with the aid of Sauron’s powers of deception and manipulation.

Fans were also excited to see a glimpse of many of the fantastical, and sometimes frightening, creatures that will appear this season, including a young Shelob, an army of Barrow-wights, Hill-troll Damrod, a Sea Worm, and even Ents! The riveted crowd also enjoyed teases of several major battle scenes that will be pivotal to Season Two’s storylines.

The cast members who participated in the show’s Hall H panel were Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Robert Aramayo, Maxim Baldry, Morfydd Clark, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Charles Edwards, Trystan Gravelle, Sam Hazeldine, Ema Horvath, Tyroe Muhafidin, Sophia Nomvete, Lloyd Owen, Megan Richards, Charlie Vickers, Benjamin Walker, and Daniel Weyman.

The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will premiere exclusively on Prime Video on August 29, 2024.

In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without an army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. As friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good—Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots—will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all: each other.

The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is produced by showrunners and executive producers J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. They are joined by executive producers Lindsey Weber, Callum Greene, Justin Doble, Jason Cahill, and Gennifer Hutchison, along with co-executive producer and director Charlotte Brändström, producers Kate Hazell and Helen Shang, and co-producers Clare Buxton, Andrew Lee, Glenise Mullins, and Matthew Penry-Davey. Additional Season Two directors include Sanaa Hamri and Louise Hooper.

Twin exhibits at ARTablado gather newbies and established artists

Since its launch in 2020, ARTablado by Robinsons Land has served as a platform to showcase the ingenuity of Filipino artists—from solo or back-to-back duo shows to varied group shows. Whether you’re a newbie in the art world, a returning artist determined to tap into their creative side once again, or an established artist with a distinctive style, ARTablado welcomes all.

This time, its two venues at Robinsons Galleria and Robinsons Antipolo are hosting group shows featuring works by members of Art Show Philippines and seven artists with varying art styles, respectively.

“Lyrical Landscapes” at ARTablado in Robinsons Galleria invites viewers to take a closer look at a collection of landscapes that evoke a sense of wonder and tranquility.

“We chose the title because landscapes can evoke emotions and feelings the way lyrics in music can stir emotions,” said artist Frederick Epistola, founder and head curator of Art Show Philippines whose work will be on display until July 31. “The use of the word lyrical suggests that the landscapes go beyond mere visual representation, delving into the realm of emotional expression and poetic interpretation.”

A total of 16 new artists are part of the ongoing exhibit although this is not the first time for Art Show Philippines at ARTablado.

“As someone who dreams for my artworks to be seen, ARTablado has given me the opportunity not just to show my paintings but for me to meet other amazing artists and art lovers. They inspire me and teach me with their different techniques and knowledge in creating art pieces, which I think is the best part of it. ARTablado is strengthening the art community by gathering artists and letting us showcase our talents and art pieces,” said Francesca Miranda.

Fellow newbie Angeli Sarreal still can’t get over being part of the show. “It feels surreal. I used to be just one of the viewers at art exhibits. Now, with the chance given by ASP and ARTablado, I became a part of the exhibit itself,” she said.

Rhiamie “Riri” Santos Ratunil said that joining the group show opened doors for her. “It has allowed me to meet like-minded individuals, enhance my skills, and improve my artistic direction. Most importantly, it has given me the chance to share my work with others, and overcome my hesitation and fear of showing vulnerability.”

The list of participating artists of “Lyrical Landscapes” include: Frederick Epistola, Mori Tiomico, Jay Vincent Gatdula, Juanito “Itto” Gatdula, Eri Dungo-Manaois, Elmar Badal, Ian Maigan, Jenn Angeles, Lei de Jesus, Gina Flores-Molina, Angeli Steele Sarreal, Lyn Dizon, Rosalina Sonata, Mae Jandayan, Pat Munar-Wigan, Sharla Ngayodan, Rodel “Deloi” Medel, Maria Francesca “Sca” Miranda, Tina GN, Evelyn Barbin, Riri Santos, Bets Beltran-Laguipo, Bliss Salvana, Raniel Ibay, Ma. Melissa Sangoyo, Winona “Nabi” Maglinao, Peter Paul Cubar, Anna Kristina Villanueva, Fred Gayo, Paola Santiago Clarito, Dianne Lorein, Lucci Canlas, Fern Abalona, Angeh Sityar, Heidi Bueno, Abby Sabularse, Lar Datu Belunta, Geremie Ampong, Rhea Regis, Jomar Dulogan, Cherry DV Agoyaoy, Kaile, Khrisna Rosette Nañola, Anne Canceran, Vanessa Tria and Deziree Balgos.

Ongoing at ARTablado in Robinsons Antipolo is a smaller group show, just seven artists showcasing different styles and genres. “Thoughts from Different Walks” was designed to collectively showcase their individual works. The artists may have different styles but their goal is the same—to artistically reveal what words fail to say.

Joel Reglos put the group together based on the artists’ work. “Basically, their unique styles caught my eye,” he said.

He gave some suggestions for promising new artists. “They should have the tenacity when it comes to creating art. Set aside time to hone your skills. Also pay attention to what you are doing. That’s the key to reaching your goals as an artist,” Reglos said.

He is grateful for ARTablado because it’s a platform for artists like him to reach a wider audience. “Exhibiting at ARTablado gave me the exposure needed to further my art career,” he added.

“Thoughts from Different Walks” at ARTablado in Robinsons Antipolo is on view until July 31 and features the works of Reglos, Harold Gomez, Jade Lugtu, PJ Sison, Nicco Mindanao, Kambal Tuko and Buhay Mendoza.

Chapel of the Arcangels Now Open at Opus Mall

Human life from its beginning until death is surrounded by angels’ watchful care and intercession. “Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life.” This is given light and elaborated on in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, (CCC 336). Suffice it to say that the angels play an important role in salvation history and our life of faith.

Among the angels, three are referred to as the Archangels who occupy the highest domains of this angelic hierarchy. Though they have tasks similar to those of the common angels, they have been given specific tasks and duties that suggest their importance. In general, the tasks of these Archangels include contemplation of God, communication of His Will to man in various ways, inspiration for human beings, and catalysts of divine grace for them. All three names of the Archangels end with the word “El”, which means “God”. “Mica-el” means “who is like God.” “Gabri-el” means “God is strong.” “Rapha-el” means “God heals.” God is inscribed in their names, in their nature. Their true nature exists for God and is oriented to God alone.

Thus, Robinsons Land through the guidance of Fr. Ricky Montanez, former parish priest of San Roque Parish in Bagumbayan, Quezon City and Fr. Ron Roberto, Director of the Diocesan Ministry for Liturgical Affairs (DMLA), Diocese of Cubao has chosen to name the Opus chapel in honour of these heavenly messengers. This is a reminder that we too can and should be God’s messengers, like Gabriel. We are to be bringers of God’s consolation and concern to our wearied brothers and sisters in trying times, like Raphael. Finally, like Michael, we are called to emulate him in fighting for the good (and defending the truth) and in ensuring that God reigns in every heart of all believers.

The Chapel of the Archangels located at the 6th level of Opus is under the jurisdiction of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cubao and under the care of San Roque Parish, Bagumbayan Quezon City. Father Ricky Montanez and Father Ron Roberto, in response to the duty of their respective offices have closely monitored the chapel’s development, ensuring everything from the placement of the tabernacle to the positioning of the statues of the saints, the archangels and the other important fixtures of the chapel. This Chapel has also been granted permission by his Most Reverend Honesto F. Ongtioco, D.D. Bishop of Cubao, to keep a tabernacle with the Blessed Sacrament.

As it has a seating capacity of around 250-300 persons, there is an outside seating provision for other mass attendees in the garden area. Daily masses will be celebrated from Monday to Saturday at 12:15 PM and a vigil mass (anticipated mass) at 6:00 PM on Saturdays. There will be four (4) masses at 11 AM, 12:30 PM, 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM on Sundays. The Chapel of the Archangels was blessed by Bishop Honesto “Nes” Ongtioco himself last July 10, 2024.

MOVIE REVIEW: Unapologetically mainstream, ‘Twisters’ is still a fun ride

As big-budget mainstream movies go, ‘Twisters’ has everything going for it. A disaster movie that goes bigger than its predecessor, it’s got two engaging leads – Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell – a terrifying natural disaster that lends well to cinema, the budget to make it all work, and a director who knows how to balance the tone so that it delivers just the right amount of cheese while still highlighting the very human element that is at the center of any cataclysm.

‘Twisters’ is about Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones), who suffers a terrible tragedy while doing research on how to decrease a tornado’s intensity. She’s portrayed as someone who is just naturally gifted with an instinct for the weather, but that tragedy has left her at a desk job in New York as a meteorologist. She’s asked to come back to her home state of Oklahoma when an old friend wants to continue the research with cutting edge technology. He needs her to help them find the tornados.

Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones)

As she returns to Oklahoma, she finds herself in the middle of an unprecedented event: a tornado season that is sprouting twisters almost on a daily basis. Kate is surprised to see that the present day is filled with tornado-chasers, including the self-possessed media celebrity Tyler Owens, who chases after tornados and streams it live on the internet.

Tyler Owens (Glen Powell)

For Tyler, he’s smitten by her and later on, intrigued by her knowledge of the weather. But she’s pegged him as a clout chaser of the worst kind and has nothing to do with him. Their rivalry leads them to clash and then later bond. Revelations are revealed that forces Kate to face her tragic past while a major storm is about to happen that threatens to turn everything upside and inside out.

‘Twisters’ is fast-paced and sometimes in a rush to push characters forward without really taking its time to establish stronger motivations. It’s the rhythm and speed of a commercial film. It wants to get us straight into the action and watch the sparks fly between Kate and Tyler.

What’s great about Lee Isaac Chung’s direction (from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith) is that he never really highlights the blossoming romance between the two lead characters. It’s there but it’s not angling for center stage. Chung is more focused on Kate’s own complex emotions regarding the tornadoes while trying to deconstruct the idea of Tyler Owens’ own interest as a twister-chasing internet celebrity. For the most part, it’s Tyler who is actively chasing Kate, but she has demons to face.

And then, Chung and Smith also manage to bring us to the human side of things: the destruction that’s caused by such a meteorological event. It attempts to bring up the ugliness of capitalism in a predictable manner but doesn’t delve too much into it so as to tip the balance and keeps the film straight into the spectacle of the tornadoes themselves. While Powell and Edgar-Jones are remarkable, watching them work is a joy, but the true stars here are the CGI effects of the twisters and the action sequences that involve them.

The film treats these weather phenomena like Godzilla—they are monstrous and beautiful at the same time. The fascination these characters have with them become clear the moment you see it in your comfortable cinema seats. To watch them throw themselves at it, whether it’s for the likes or for research, the experience is quite enjoyable.

The climax is insane but the science that provides a solution is sketchy, at best (and with further reading on the internet, is quite improbable), but it looks great on screen. And while I’m not expecting a deep story from a movie about tornado-chasers, I am a little frustrated of Hollywood’s fascination of making professional scientists and PhD holders stuffy and boring while untrained professionals with a lot of experience are treated as fun and just as good. I’m not saying it’s not possible, but it adds to a class division that is trite and overused and quite dangerous in this era of anti-intellectualism.

But outside of that, it’s a fun ride. I don’t know if I’ll remember much after weeks have passed but Edgar-Jones and Powell are in my radar and very excited to see what they come up with next.

MOVIE REVIEW: Frightening in refreshing ways, ‘Longlegs’ suffers from being genuinely scary and nothing else

Elegantly directed, writer and director Osgood Perkins makes full use of his technical prowess to make every frame of the horror film ‘Longlegs’ absolutely panic-inducing. With flashbacks done with a tight aspect ratio, completely cutting our view and trapping the subject of the camera in a tight frame, we feel that whatever is out there is right at the corner. Utilizing an over-dramatic score that punctuates the jump scares (sometimes even leading it), it makes the whole experience watching the movie so frightening that it is fun. When the film goes to present time, he bathes his scenes in darkness and shadows. There’s always a chance something is going to come out, and with the first opening jump scare catching us completely off guard at the start, we really feel vulnerable throughout this movie.

‘Longlegs’ is about a serial killer, who has been killing families for decades. Hunted by the FBI, Lee Harker, who may have psychic abilities, is put on the case as her abilities may open up new leads. She does but because her connection to the case is much stronger than anyone even realizes, even her.

Maika Monroe is excellent as Agent Lee. She’s guarded, extremely stiff, as if she’s about to burst at any time. She’s taciturn and not very good with people, but she does get some supernatural feeling when something is amiss. When put on the case of ‘Longlegs,’ her anxieties double. Her tenuous relationship with her mother (Alicia Witt), whom she has not seen in a long time, grounds her character to some level of humanity but the distance between them also betrays a darker secret that is lying in wait.

LONGLEGS Maika Monroe Courtesy of NEON

Nicolas Cage plays the titular Longlegs and the make-up and prosthetics makes him almost unrecognizable in a quick glance. It’s only later when Perkins finally gives him long close-ups that you realize it’s him underneath. But the glimpses we get tells us that he is fully committed to bringing out whatever frightening symbolisms his Longlegs can take. It’s a virtuoso performance from an unpredictable actor who has used his off-screen infamy to his advantage in these very off-kilter roles.

Playing out like a police procedural, we follow Lee Harker’s investigation into Longlegs while trying to decipher her strange visions and her undetermined connection to the case, though the savvier viewer will have figured it out quickly. The tale it tells is of a world gone crazy, depicting brutal violence committed by husbands to their families.

As the film unfolds, it begins to allude heavily into the occult but never really brings religion into the mix. It’s evil for evil’s sake and we hope that Agent Lee Harker has the determination and the strength to see it through.

The film is filled with terrifying moments, when you know that Longlegs is just there, just in the darkness in the back of Osgood Perkins’ frame. When he takes a long shot, he always ensures there’s an open door or frame leading to another room just in the back. It always gives you the feeling something is going to come in. You’re always on your toes. If he does not have these eerie long shots, he gives you really tight shots that prohibits you from seeing an attack if one will come. The effect allows the audience to feel the paranoia Agent Lee is feeling and the effect is amazing.

BTS1 LONGLEGS Osgood Perkins DP Andres Arochi | Courtesy of NEON

But when it reaches its third act, that build-up of tension ends up in a third act exposition that kind of kills the energy before resuming for its big finale, which is good, but doesn’t have the same punch because the energy leading up to it was stalled. And at the end of the film, we’re left with the fun feeling of having been scared out of our wits but with nothing really to hold on to. It makes no commentary of the world around us. The satanistic imagery and symbolism does not outrightly figure in as a metaphor for anything real-world that grounds ‘Longlegs’ to anything significant. Despite its fantastic filmmaking techniques, the material in itself sorts of falls as just entertainment. It’s not a bad thing, but you kind of wish that it could punch up just a little bit since it did everything else right.

Don Lee Leads Korea’s Crime Busters to the Philippines in “The Roundup: Punishment”

The wait is over! Korea’s action-packed blockbuster, The Roundup: Punishment, starring Don Lee, is taking its thrilling adventure to the Philippines.

Unraveling the Plot

In this borderless action-comedy, The Roundup: Punishment dives into the controversial world of online gambling, known locally as POGOs (Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators). Ma Seok-Do (Don Lee) and his team are on a mission to track down Baek Chang-gi (Kim Moo-yul), a notorious Korean criminal now operating an online gambling empire in the Philippines.

The Villain’s New Playground

Baek Chang-gi, an ex-special forces mercenary, has taken control of Korea’s illegal online gambling business through abduction, confinement, assault, and murder. Meanwhile, back in Korea, IT genius CEO Chang Dong-cheol (Lee Dong-hwi) is plotting even more significant schemes.

Evolving Action and Characters

In a recent interview with Variety, Don Lee shared, “I want the action to evolve from film to film and the story to keep up with current times. It’s important that the characters evolve further, becoming wiser with each sequel.”

The Team’s Philippine Adventure

Following the murder of a young Korean professional who escaped Chang-gi’s gambling operations, beast cop Seok-do’s team takes to the streets of the Philippines. Riding jeepneys and forming alliances with local police, the team, including returning character Jang I-su (Park Ji-hwan) disguised as a local, sets up an illegal online casino to trap the gambling kingpins involved in the abduction and murder of missing Korean citizens.

Authentic Filipino Experience

The Philippine setting amplifies the film’s scale and captures the reality of borderless, turfless online crime. Scenes featuring the main villain’s operations, including the Emperor Casino and various hideouts, were filmed in locations such as Angeles and Tarlac City.

Box Office Triumph

Hailed as Korea’s number one action franchise, The Roundup: Punishment has dominated the Korean box office for four consecutive weeks, amassing a total of $75 million (source: Variety). It is the fastest Korean film to surpass 11 million moviegoers in just 33 days (source: Times of India).

A Beloved Franchise

The Roundup series has carved its niche as Korea’s most-loved crime and action blockbuster. The action-packed and comedy-filled film has become the third most-watched rated-R movie in Korea. In the Philippines, The Roundup: Punishment is rated R16 by the MTRCB.

Don Lee’s Signature Action

The franchise has left an indelible mark on Korean cinema, proving the success of a Korean film series. Don Lee’s portrayal of Detective Ma Seok-do, with his signature one-punch action and unique lines, alongside irreplaceable allies and villains, has captivated audiences worldwide.
