About Yesterday

Yesterday, everyone knew The Beatles. Today, only Jack remembers their songs. He’s about to become a very big deal. From Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later) and Richard Curtis, the Oscar®-nominated screenwriter of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually and Notting Hill, comes a rock ’n’ roll comedy about music, dreams, friendship, and the long and winding road that leads to the love of your life.

Jack Malik (Patel) is a struggling singer-songwriter in a tiny English seaside town whose dreams of fame are rapidly fading, despite the fierce devotion and support of his childhood best friend, Ellie (Lily James). Then, after a freak bus accident during a mysterious global blackout, Jack wakes up to discover that The Beatles have never existed … and he finds himself with a very complicated problem, indeed.

Performing songs by the greatest band in history to a world that has never heard them, Jack’s fame explodes. But as his star rises, he risks losing Ellie—the one person who always believed in him. With the door between his old and new life closing, Jack will need to get back to where he once belonged and prove that all you need is love.

ABS-CBN launched a song in celebration of the string of victories that Filipinos have achieved in the international arena, showing the greatness of our people to the world. Titled “Galing Natin Ito!” and sang by 27 Kapamilya and OPM artists, the song highlights the heart, wisdom, and strength of Filipinos that enable them to triumph over challenges in life.

The song’s recording music video premiered during the fight of Sen. Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman that exclusively aired on ABS-CBN platforms including Channel 2, SKY Sports PPV, S+A, and iWant.

They include athletes like Pacquiao, who continues to make history in boxing, beauty queens like Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray who were named Miss Universe because of their beauty, wit, and advocacy, and thousands other of Filipinos making their mark around the globe.

The song is the official theme of ABS-CBN’s National Cheer Campaign that celebrates the success of Filipinos to inspire the nation to unite and help unleash each other’s potential for greatness.

Uncover a Family’s Secret in the Acclaimed Drama ‘After the Wedding’

Two women’s fate are intertwined and the path they are treading soon leads to shocking revelations with irreversible consequences in “After the Wedding” starring Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams, Billy Crudup and Abby Quinn.

A poignant drama with a powerhouse, female-led cast, “After the Wedding” tells the story of Isabel (Williams), who’s running an orphanage in Calcutta, India that also faces potential suspension due to dwindling funds. Soon enough, a potential donor comes knocking at their door, philanthropist Theresa Young (Moore) who insists that Isabel travels to New York to deliver a presentation for her orphanage.

Arriving in New York, Isabel finds herself uncomfortable in the presence of the orphanage’s possible benefactor. Theresa welcomes her from the glittering skyscraper where she runs her business. While Isabel thinks she’ll soon be returning to her beloved orphanage after the meeting, Theresa has other plans. She insists Isabel attend Grace’s wedding at the family’s estate. The joyful event becomes a catalyst for a revelation that upends the lives of both women, and the people who love them most.

Based on the Academy Award nominated film by Susanne Bier, producer Joel Michaels and director Bart Freundlich immediately addressed a critical aspect of the adaptation – Bier’s film had two male leads. But for his adaptation, the director went for gender-reverse casting. Michaels felt that the film would work significantly better with the leads being played by two women. Freundlich took a beat, and then whole-heartedly agreed with Michaels that between the dearth of significant, multifaceted leading roles for women, and the country’s current climate regarding power dynamics and gender, the switch made the story more current. Freundlich got to work adapting the script.

“The original story was like nothing I’d worked on before,” he said. “It had many layers, and a

plethora of different, three-dimensional, character perspectives. So, it was an exciting opportunity to tell a story that takes on what it means for these women to make certain high-stake choices, and then have to deal with the many consequences of those actions.”

Discover what lies ahead after secrets are revealed in “After the Wedding” when it opens in PH cinemas on August 14.

All four films are distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures. Use the hashtags #DoraMovie, #OnceUponATimeInHollywood, #PlayingWithFireMovie and #CatsMovie

About Dora and the Lost City of Gold

An internationally beloved heroine springs to life on the big screen in Paramount Pictures’ Dora and the Lost City of Gold, the feature film debut of Dora the Explorer, the iconic Latinx trailblazer whose exploits have delighted parents and children alike since her 2000 Nickelodeon debut.

Having spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, nothing could prepare sixteen-year-old Dora (Isabela Moner) for her most dangerous adventure ever – High School. Always the explorer, Dora quickly finds herself leading Boots (her best friend, a monkey), Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant (Eugenio Derbez), and a rag tag group of teens on a live-action adventure to save her parents (Eva Longoria, Michael Peña) and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.

About Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood

Quentin Tarantino’s 9th film, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood visits 1969 Los Angeles, where everything is changing, as TV star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) make their way around an industry they hardly recognize anymore. The ninth film from the writer-director features a large ensemble cast and multiple storylines in a tribute to the final moments of Hollywood’s golden age.

Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is produced by David Heyman, Shannon McIntosh and Quentin Tarantino. The cast is led by Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.

About Playing with Fire

Nothing can prepare these elite firefighters (led by John Cena) for their most challenging job yet: babysitting.

When straight-laced fire superintendent Jake Carson (Cena) and his elite team of expert firefighters (Keegan-Michael Key, John Leguizamo and Tyler Mane) come to the rescue of three siblings (Brianna Hildebrand, Christian Convery and Finley Rose Slater) in the path of an encroaching wildfire, they quickly realize that no amount of training could prepare them for their most challenging job yet – babysitters. Unable to locate the children’s parents, the firefighters have their lives, jobs and even their fire depot turned upside down and quickly learn that kids – much like fires –are wild and unpredictable.

About Cats

Oscar®-winning director Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, Les Misérables, The Danish Girl) transforms Andrew Lloyd Webber’s record-shattering stage musical Cats into a breakthrough cinematic event.

Cats stars James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Taylor Swift, Rebel Wilson and introduces Royal Ballet principal dancer Francesca Hayward in her feature film debut.

Featuring Lloyd Webber’s iconic music and a world-class cast of dancers under the guidance of Tony-winning choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (Hamilton, In the Heights), the film re-imagines the musical for a new generation with spectacular production design, state-of-the-art technology, and dance styles ranging from classical ballet to contemporary, hip-hop to jazz, street dance to tap.

How To Maintain Financial Stability At Home

Everyday life can sometimes get incredibly busy and hectic, and it can be easy to get caught up with it. However, by doing this, you can easily neglect your self-care, your financial situation, your relationship with your loved ones, and much more. For this article, the idea of maintaining one’s financial stability at home will be explored further.

Although making money should not be your sole focus in life, it’s important to remember that it is thanks to the money that you are able to live a comfortable life. You need to learn how to budget, get yourself out of debt, save, and much more. Continue reading for more information.

 

The entire family must be financially conscious

In order to maintain financial stability at home, every single-family member must be financially aware. In other words, adults should have a steady source of income, and everyone needs to think realistically about how that money should be spent.

 

Live within your means and budget accordingly

Living within your means requires you to learn how to budget. You must get into the habit of paying your bills immediately and don’t impulsively buy items that you don’t really need.

There is a vast difference between needs and wants, and the sooner you learn this difference, the easier your time will be moving forward.

Think about where you could cut back on expenses, for instance, as there is no doubt at least one area or two could use some improvement.

 

Brainstorm together means of saving

You can always brainstorm new ideas for saving money together as a family. On the one hand, the monthly income that certain members obtain is where the primary source of money is coming from, and this is also where you will need to set funds aside from.

However, you can only set aside money after you have already paid for your monthly bills and other priorities that require your attention.

 

Maintaining a good credit score

Learning how to maintain a good credit score is key to overall financial stability. After all, your credit score dictates the likelihood that you will get a loan from the bank in the future, and you never know when you will need one for a more significant purchase, such as your mortgage.

So, what’s the solution? For starters, do not let debt accumulate on your credit score, and pay it off sooner rather than later. Alternatively, you should identify where your shortcomings are and work to improve them. Simply by checking your credit reports, you are getting a sense of where your money is being spent in the first place, and you can determine whether you want to change anything moving forward.

In order to learn more about maintaining your credit score, you can check the following website: https://www.crediful.com/fair-credit-score/.

 

Picking up additional work when necessary

In order to save more money at home, some adults could consider what options they have for picking up part-time or freelance work during their free time. Still, keep in mind that overworking yourself to the point of exhaustion is never a viable solution, as this will also cause a strain on your relationship with your loved ones.

If at all possible, this is something that you should consider as an option for the weekend, as long as it doesn’t take up your entire day.

 

Always think about the future

A financially conscious life will always require you to think about the long-term future. Have you thought about a retirement savings plan, for instance? Moreover, what options do you have for investing your money? These are the types of questions that you should ask yourself.

Financial stability will only be maintained if you keep it top of mind in the first place. Your finances will not fall into place if you continuously spend money without stopping to think about your savings and other future needs. Once you hit the age of retirement, for instance, you will not be prepared if you don’t save for it years in advance, and then open up a retirement plan.

The solution, in this case, is simple, and it’s one that requires you to plan ahead. This can sometimes be easier said than done if you become busy with work, school, and other priorities, but as a source of motivation, think about what the alternative situation would be. If you and your family members are not financially responsible, debt will increase, stress will manifest itself, and even arguments between you and your family members might increase. There isn’t a single person that would want to deal with this situation!

Korean fever has reached “It’s Showtime” after Ryan Bang unexpectedly met his “new rival” as “It’s Showtime’s” only Korean host in the “KapareWho Surprise” segment, which trended on social media.

In the show’s Friday (July 19) episode, hosts Jhong Hilario, Vhong Navaro, and Vice Ganda hyped up the laughter by teasing Ryan that he was to be replaced particularly by “Song-yupsal”—one of the three “Pinoy at heart” Korean contestants vying for the two Pinay K-pop fans in the segment—as host for the following week.

The episode was an instant hit as the day’s #ShowtimeWalangBitaw started trending worldwide at #5, ended up at top spot #1, and was still talked about in the evening.

It was on Monday (July 22) that Song-yupsal—real name JinHo Bae—took on the guest hosting spot at the country’s number one noontime program.

Netizens took their excitement for Ryan and JinHo’s “showdown” to Twitter, which catapulted #SaveRyanBang, #ShowtimeBetnaBetFriends, and #JinHoBae to the top five trending spots both worldwide and in the Philippines.

“KapareWho” is a compatibility game featuring single and widowed people called “Who-mahanap,” who are looking for friendship and companionship. Every day, two ladies evaluate three masked men, dubbed the “Kala-Who-k” and choose a potential friend or partner based on their actions, words, and personality.

In the previous months, actors Jeric Raval, Mon Confiado, Keempee de Leon, Carlos Agassi, and Wowie De Guzman have participated in the game as “Kala-Who-k.”
