THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON: Movie Trailer – Click here for funny video clips
The movie is a very enticing one due to the utter complexity of the needed special effects, with Benjamin growing younger as opposed to older as with the rest of the cast. Some trivia’s that may have not been known, the film was initially considered for Tom Cruise as the lead instead of Brad. The producers of the film also kept in close communication with Levi’s for authentic clothes that were period authentic for the character played by Brad. The film was also the second to film in the flood-ravaged lands of New Orleans which was also for one very obvious reason, tax discounts from the state. The movie had been planned and prepared for as early as 1994. The aging process took four hours for Pitt for the early scenes and four hours for Cate Blanchett for her aging scenes as the film was ending.
The story also had a very colorful past for it was initially bought by Ray Stark in the late 70’s, and then by Steven Spielberg, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall for Amblin. The later two eventually detached from Spielberg taking the rights with them as they formed their own production firms, with the film’s rights finally being brought by Erick Roth who vowed to commit to the film upon his father’s death in 2002.

Anime fanatics gone “banzai!” as a new piece of Shojo anime masterpiece just reached Philippine T.V.’s shores and is currently a hit among otakus. It is a crazy mix of romance, comedy, friendship and pure hardcore silliness that will surely tickle the anime-lover kid in you.

The story revolves around Sunako Nakahara, a not-so-typical female protagonist that is actually a fan of the dark and creepy things instead of the usual sweet and fair stuff you see in most stories. That’s twist enough but there’s more: she actually has to live in a big mansion with four super handsome guys until she becomes a “real” lady.

Yes it sounds as if it’ll be super romantic and all, but believe me, it’s more of light, innocent fun than whatever you’re probably thinking of. Actually, it’s stress-relieving to watch, take me for my word.

It’s now airing at TV5 every Mondays to Thursdays at 6:30 pm and every Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00-6:00 pm. Try and watch it!

Box office top-notcher Iron Man is one of the biggest movies with the highest gross income on its opening weekend of 2008. The creation of this successful superhero film took about 18 years to develop, starting with Universal Studios buying the rights of Iron Man’s development on the big screen. Due to its low budget, the production was not pushed through, instead the rights were transferred to 20th Century Fox in 1996. A year after, actors such as Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage expressed their interest in playing the main character Tony Start who was later on portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. Quentin Tarantino was then approached in 1999, asking if he could direct the movie. Then, New Line Cinema eventually acquired the rights from Fox, and after a long process of preparations and transfers, the rights were finally given back to Marvel Studios, and they had to work again from scratch in producing this big film.

Based on a popular cartoon show back in the 1980s, Transformers is one of the most successful movies in the year 2007. This movie produced by Steven Spielberg earned over $707 million throughout its run with a number of awards won, including nominations for Oscars in the Academy Awards. One notable character in the movie is Bumblebee, Sam’s (Shia LeBeouf) yellow Camaro which transforms into his guardian robot. Bumblebee’s silence was inspired by Spielberg’s film E.T. showing the bond of the guardian robot and they boy Sam, even without words. Bumblebee was originally a yellow Volkswagen Beetle, but director Michael Bay decided to use a 1976 Chevrolet Camaro which later on transformed into a concept 2009 model. Since this model has not yet been on production, the body of the Camaro was placed on the frame of a Mustang. Hasbro did not mind this replacement as long as the vehicle remained yellow. The yellow beetle still appeared in the movie, parked beside the Camaro when Sam was choosing a car to buy.
