“COMET” To Hit the Philippines this February

“A beautifully rendered experience that excels on nearly every level”  Awards Circuit

Following the success of the Adam Levine-Kiera Knightley starrer Begin Again, Solar Pictures brings to local cinemas “COMET”-- a cosmic love story that is sure to leave audiences with that warm February feeling.

“Comet,” stars Golden Globe nominee Emmy Rossum (“The Day After Tomorrow,” “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Mystic River”) and Justin Long (“Live Free or Die Hard,” “He’s Just Not That Into You”).

“Comet” is an original modern love story that follows Kimberly (Rossum) and Dell (Long), who first meet at the Hollywood cemetery where they’ve both come to watch a meteor shower.

Kimberly is brilliant and beautiful; Dell is nerdy and pessimistic, but with an incredibly sharp mind and direct manner. While she and he are not a natural pair, they are cosmically drawn to each other and, under a night sky, luminous with falling stars, they begin their epic love story.

As the opening title card states the events “take place over six years (a few parallel universes over).”

But what starts as a typical romance quickly turns dreamlike as viewers leap back and forth in time, examining their eventual six-year relationship through the lens of their meeting and four other pivotal moments: a monumental fight at a friend’s wedding in Paris; a break up conversation after Dell has moved to New York; a reconnection on a train ride along the California coast; and finally, when Dell pops in on Kimberly unexpectedly in her home in the Hollywood Hills.

The leaps between these moments are seamlessly woven together to create a sense that this love story transcends time and space and that Kimberly and Dell are destined to be together, if not in this universe, then maybe the next.

Content Media introduced and screened the film to international distributors for the first time at the 2014 American Film Market (AFM) last November and was then picked up by Solar Pictures, among other films.

“The universal theme and inventive storytelling in ‘Comet’ have us believing that audiences will really connect with the film,” said Content Media President of Film Jamie Carmichael. “We were drawn in immediately and are happy to have this film…”

COMET opens in cinemas nationwide on February 25, 2014 and is released by Solar Pictures.

If you will be given the chance to ask Pope Francis one question what would it be?

MEETING WITH THE YOUTH

Last January 18, 2015 at 9 am,  a mass celebrated at the Sports field of Sto. Tomas University, during the mass celebration a 12-year girl from Tulay ng Kabataan Center asked the pope "Why would God allow these things?" 

If you were that girl, what question could it be?

Well, I posted mine on the  comment box of this (ABS-CBN) article, and here's what I've got. 

Pope Francis at the Mall of Asia Arena: The Visit of the Superstar

Hours of waits paid by a priceless glimpse. 

He is not from Hollywood, nor an actor from paramount or universal studios,  HE is a messenger carrying HOPES to millions of Filipinos in the Philippines. 

January 16, 2015 -  People from different walks of life, groups, religions, colors and races gathered together not just to welcome the Pope as the head of the Catholic Church and of the state but also to show Mercy and Compassion with each other. No politics no business, Just Pure RESPECT.

Thousands of people waited as early as 4 am  outside the arena waiting for the arrival of the POPE at 5 pm  not just to take selfies and take photo of him but to wait for  the blessings from his mouth  and see him up close and personal. Hours of waits paid by a priceless glimpse.

Giving in to insistent public demand, the Music Museum Group is running TFS again in 2015, starting with its choice movies for January – two movies per Saturday. On January 17, the Cinemalaya 2014 hit, “Dagitab” makes a comeback at 5 p.m., while “Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay”, the 2011 “mockumentary feature film starring Lilia Cuntapay and directed by Antoinette Jadaone, goes on at 7:30 p.m. This film won 6 awards in the Cinema One Originals Digital Film Festival, including a Best Actress award for Cuntapay.
