  • WATCH: Guillermo del Toro’s Stop-Motion Musical ‘Pinocchio’ Unveils Teaser Trailer with the Cricket

    Director Guillermo del Toro, who is known for films such as Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water, and Hellboy to name a few, is soon to reveal his stop-motion take on a classic children’s story, Pinocchio.

    Netflix has just unveiled the first teaser to the upcoming musical adventure, which features the iconic Cricket– voiced by Ewan McGregor– as he is about to tell us the story of the wooden boy. Watch it here:

    Pinocchio comes from the 1883 children’s novel, The Adventures of Pinocchio by the Italian writer Carlo Collodi. While it has been adapted into film multiple times, most notably by Disney, its main premise remained– a wooden puppet created by a man named Gepetto is brought to life and is searching for his place in the world. Meanwhile, another well-known feature of the wooden boy is that his nose gets longer when he lies.

    With Guillermo del Toro directing alongside Mark Gustafson, viewers may also expect Del Toro’s distinct style of injecting dark and serious themes and visuals into stories of fantasy. Sebastian J. Cricket himself teased in the trailer that in this Pinocchio, there’s more to the story than we know of.

    Also starring in the stop-motion musical are David Bradley as Geppetto, Gregory Mann as Pinocchio, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, John Turturro, Ron Perlman, Tim Blake Nelson, Burn Gorman, Christoph Waltz, and Tilda Swinton. The film is set for release in December this year.

    Looking for an outlet that will help you find peace in your hectic life this year? Maybe what you’re looking for is just a click away!

    When we think of video games, some may think of adrenaline-pumping action, high-octane racing, or even challenging puzzles. But sometimes, video games can also mean calm in between one’s busy schedule. While some games’ interpretations of fun are outlandish experiences where the player gets to be the hero, there are also titles where you can just relax and enjoy doing your tasks at your own pace. Below are such video games you could play on your PC and consoles.

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons

    Nintendo Switch

Along the way, you will also meet other hikers and discover hidden treasures that will make your virtual hike even more memorable.

    Proteus is the game to satisfy one’s wanderlust. The game’s blocky yet charming world lets you explore, immerse, and interact with so many things.

    Here’s another video game where you create satisfying and enjoyable chaos. In this physics puzzle game, you are literally just a hole on the ground. You control this hole with the objective of getting everything to fall into its mysterious depths, and with every item you devour, the hole gets larger. While it’s a simplistic and straight-to-the-point game, Donut County offers charming visuals and fun characters that are all delightful as a whole.

    Spiritfarer

    PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, & Nintendo Switch

    A game about death may sound bleak and upsetting, but the management simulator Spiritfarer is far from that. You play as Stella, the ferry master to the deceased.

Alongside its management mechanics, the game also offers touching stories that will leave a mark on you after playing.

  • ‘Scream’ Rated R-16 Without Cuts to Hold Sneak Previews at Select PH Cinemas

    Paramount Pictures has just announced that its US No.1 box-office hit Scream will hold special sneak previews in selected cinemas nationwide on Tuesday, February 1.  Horror fans are advised to check with their favorite theaters for the screening hours and ticket prices.  

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnUeWdf3T6I

    Scream, which opens wide in Philippine cinemas on February 2, has been rated R-16 Without Cuts by the Movie & Television Review & Classification Board (MTRCB).  Fans are guaranteed to see the film in its integral, original version, complete with all the “strong language, gore, and graphic depiction of murders.”  As Ben Travis of Empire Magazine writes, “In an era of elevated horror, it’s a gloriously gory basement party.”

    Twenty-five years after a streak of brutal murders shocked the quiet town of Woodsboro, a new killer has donned the Ghostface mask and begins targeting a group of teenagers to resurrect secrets from the town’s deadly past. Neve Campbell (“Sidney Prescott”), Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) and David Arquette (“Dewey Riley”) return to their iconic roles in “Scream” alongside Melissa Barrera, Kyle Gallner, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar.

    scr14527r

    Scream is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett of the filmmaking group Radio Silence (Ready or Not, V/H/S).  The film is written by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick, based on the characters created by Kevin Williamson.

    Scream is a long-running genre-busting horror franchise which generated four feature films including Scream (1996), Scream 2 (1997), Scream 3 (2000) and Scream 4 (2011). Directed by famed “maestro of horror,” the late Wes Craven, the films went on to gross more than $600 million in worldwide box office receipts.  Williamson wrote the original film as well as Scream 2 and Scream 4. 

    scr01431r

    In Philippine cinemas February 2, Scream is distributed by Paramount Pictures through Columbia Pictures.  Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube. Connect with #ScreamMovie and tag paramountpicsph.
