Enchanted

I love Disney movies. I enjoy the imagination and skill that goes into putting together their films. I also like the fact that their films are those that the whole family can enjoy.

I saw this trailer online but I haven't seen it listed on any of the local offerings for the year. It's titled "Enchanted" and stars Patrick Dempsey. If it shows in the cinema, I'm definitely watching. Watch the trailer below.

New Worlds: Meet and Party Time!

NW5 header.jpg

Looking forward to Samhein? Ready to do a little trick or treating? Before that, why not wander over and visit New Worlds at the Glorietta Activity Center on October 27. You may just meet some interesting people and have a blast exploring the various science fiction and fantasy fandoms active in the Philippines. The event starts as soon as the mall opens and lasts the whole day. There are activities lined up for everyone to enjoy.

Now, I can hear some people going, “are you crazy? Go to Glorietta after the bombing (or whatever it was)?!?” I would answer YES! In fact, why not? It is the safest place to be because the security there is on high alert. Besides, if we cower and hide away, they win.

In times of uncertainty, it is the time to seek joy and be a source of happiness for others. Come and be a part of New Worlds. Boldly Go and Use the Force. Let magic fill your day and maybe discover Heroes standing right in the mall.

The event doesn’t end on October 27 though. There’s also a party on October 30 at the Hard Rock Cafe which has been dubbed “Dare to Pair: A Rockin’ Halloween Tandem”. This is a halloween party that also encourages you and a friend to come in costume as a pair. Get creative, be unique, beautiful and interesting and you may just bring home the prize of P10,000 cash!. Interested? You can click here for more details.

Different Shows, Same People

I just finished catching up to the latest Stargate Atlantis episode. I only today realized that the doctor is played by the woman who plays the engineer in Firefly/Serenity. It has always been a point of interest when favorite actors and actresses would appear in the shows like the Star Trek cast members appearing on either Stargate SG1 or Atlantis. Some have appeared on Heroes, too, and on a few more shows.

I wonder though if in Hollywood, actors are reluctant to take on the roles? Afraid to get type cast? Well, if that's so, they are missing out. As the cast of Star Trek and Star Wars and a whole slew of other science fiction shows can attest, they have careers that last long after the show is cut, simply because the shows are unique and capture the imagination.
