Dale Palisoc October 19, 2017

Well, any millennial would think this way. I know, because I am one. The least of our concerns right now would be having a life plan. We share a common belief that this type of insurance is way too early for us to think about. If anything else, we would be getting a health or education plan first. But hold up, continue reading why you should also think about death care. It’s not going to be morbid, I promise. Here’s what I realized after the event by Breakout Philippines and St. Peter Life Plans.  Read more about Breakout x St. Peter Life Plans for Death Care Week …

Blade Runner 2049 Movie Review

Dale Palisoc October 10, 2017

Expectations are high for the 30-year-in-the-making sequel to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner. The film was highly advanced for its time when it came out making it one of the tent poles of sci-fi films. Surprisingly, despite its smart plot and visually stunning imagery, it did not immediately receive the success it deserves. Unfortunately, it appears that the sequel, Blade Runner 2049, is experiencing the same. I, for one, is a fan of Denis Villeneuve’s work at the sequel, and let me list down some of the reasons why you should see Blade Runner 2049.

For your consideration: mother!

Dale Palisoc September 25, 2017

Do you remember the last time a movie came out and faced such harsh criticisms? On top of my head was The Da Vinci Code. When it came out in 2006, the church reacted to it that it received an R18 rating in the Philippines! This year, Darren Aronofsky’s mother! has been unfairly bashed by critics and audiences alike! Others are even calling it one of the worst movies of the recent years. I understand where they are coming from but I am obsessed about the film and let me tell me why you should put the film into your consideration.

Dale Palisoc September 20, 2017

Most millennial nowadays are crazy about the newest Netflix teen-drama, Riverdale. It is a loose adaptation of the hit comic book Archie. Teen romance, family drama, and mystery fill the show, making it easy for everyone to fall in love with it. But aside from the series’ interesting plot, people are also crazy about its aesthetics. Particularly, by the neon lit-retro signage at Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe.

Ibong Adarna's ensemble cast

REVIEW: Ballet Manila’s Ibong Adarna

Dale Palisoc September 1, 2017
Ibong Adarna is a staple reading requirement among high school students. It is about the hunt for the elusive bird with magical healing properties. Truly, a classic. To push for Ballet Manila’s advocacy to ‘bring ballet to the people and bring people to ballet,’ they adapted the lore to kick off the 22nd performance season of the dance company. Entitled Flights of Fantasy, the season will feature familiar narratives on stage.
