Evil Dead Rated R-18 Premieres Without Cuts Exclusively at Ayala Cinemas

I'm sure all horror fans in the Philippines are excited to watch the remake of Evil Dead. And most horror fans doesn't like it when their horror movie gets cut for violence or nudity. That's why Ayala Cinemas is coming to the rescue and is set to release the R-18 version and without cuts of this bloody horror film.

PRESS RELEASE - Billed as “The Most Terrifying Film You Will Ever Experience,” Columbia Pictures' horror thriller “Evil Dead” will hold special sneak previews on Monday and Tuesday, April 22 & 23, exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas (ahead of its May 8 regular opening).

Moviegoers can catch the sneaks at Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3, Trinoma, Alabang Town Center, Market! Market!, Ayala Center Cebu, Marquee (Central Luzon), Abreeza (Davao), Harbor Point (Subic) and Centrio (Cagayan de Oro).

Rated R-18 Without Cuts by the MTRCB, “Evil Dead” is a bone-chilling film that combines all the raw excitement and gleeful gore of the acclaimed, 1981 original with a series of shocking new twists.

In the film, Mia (Jane Levy), a young woman whose life has been marred by loss and addiction, asks her brother David (Shiloh Fernandez), his girlfriend Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) and their childhood friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) to join her at the family’s rustic cabin to help her overcome her demons. Once there, she ceremoniously destroys the last of her stash and swears off drugs for good in front of her friends.

Inside, they are shocked to discover that the abandoned cabin has been broken into. The cellar has been transformed into a grotesque altar surrounded by dozens of mummified animals. Eric becomes fascinated with an ancient book he discovers there. In thrall to its mysterious contents, he reads aloud from it, never suspecting the terrifying consequences he is about to unleash.

As Mia’s withdrawals worsen, she begins to unravel and attempts to flee, but is turned back by a frightening vision. At the cabin, her behavior becomes so violent that her friends are forced to restrain her. Trapped by a dangerous storm raging outside, they begin to turn on each other one by one. As the brutality of their attacks increases, David is faced with an unimaginable choice.

‘It Takes a Man and a Woman’ Box Office Update!

I'm 100% sure you wanted to keep track of It Takes A Man and A Woman's box office success despite the fact that you will never get any portion of that. I don't know what's wrong with you  - why don't you ask yourself? -but I won't judge instead I'll tolerate you via this box office update.

So earlier today, April 7, at ASAP 18, the box office gross of It Takes A Man and A Woman movie was reported to have reached the P200-million mark. And that means, it's halfway into becoming the highest grossing Filipino film of all time dethroning the MMFF 2012 entry Sisterakas, which was crappy by the way.

I've been reading reviews of It Takes A Man and A Woman and I think the movie garnered generally positive reviews as well. Some are just too elitist to even recommend it. Like you know, it's a pinoy movie! Jologs and all. That kind of notion, whatever!

But anyway, rejoice fantards and Star Cinema and Viva Films people who are altogether P200-million richer! I hope I'll get invited to your victory party. Hehe. Eww!

It Takes A Man and A Woman is Graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board

There is no stopping It Takes A Man and A Woman to compete for the highest grossing film of all time and the highest grossing opening for a Filipino movie, now that Cinema Evaluation Board has graded the 3rd Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz movie an 'A'.

The grade by CEB, allows the producers a 100% amusement tax rebate for the movie. The hype and excitement for It Takes A Man and A Woman is evident on nearly every circles and online. And if it promises to be a worthwhile movie, this would give justice to the awful movie 'Sisterakas' which is the current holder of the titles 'Highest Grossing Filipino Movie of All Time'.

That is very much likely to happen considering, Sarah and John Lloyd have become box office royalties over the years. In fact, their characters Laida Magtalas and Miggy Montegero are considered the most loved fictional pinoy movie couple.

In the upcoming It Takes A Man and A Woman movie, we will be introduced to an updated versions of the characters we loved in the previous two movies of this romcom franchise. Laida will become better, bolder and fiercer and as the trailer goes the Miggy character seems to be more easy-going.

What were the trials that Laida and Miggy faced after their break-up? Is it really the end for their love story or will Laida and Miggy rediscover the magic of the 'very special love they once shared?

"It Takes A Man And A Woman" also stars Joross Gamboa, Gio Alvarez, Matet De Leon, Al Tantay, Irma Adlawan, Guji Lorenzana, Rowel Santiago, and Dante Rivero. The film also introduces model-host Isabelle Daza, who will plays the character of Belle, the socialite girlfriend of Miggy. It Takes A Man and A Woman movie opens nationwide on Black Saturday, March 30, 2012.

It Takes A Man and A Woman Movie

It took almost 4 years before It Takes A Man and A Woman movie has taken production. And finally the country's second well-loved couple, Laida Magtalas (Sarah Geronimo) and Miggy Montenegro (John Lloyd Cruz) will finally return on the big screen on March 30, 2013 via the new Star Cinema and Viva Films production. Second because I'm damn sure Popoy and Basha are still at number 1. :-)

Anyway, this threequel to the Sarah-John Lloyd franchise will start with the two splitting up after 4 years. Meanwhile, John Lloyd is back with his ex-girlfriend Belle (Isabelle Daza). What we need to find out in this movie is why they break up? Well, it seems that after the events of You Changed My Life, Sarah Geronimo decided to go to Canada after all. Meaning, they didn't get the happy ending they always wanted.

That makes the story more realistic, well at least for the third film because that 'supposedly' climatic ending of You Changed My Life was so contrived I puked. Having said that, I believe Star Cinema will have the John Lloyd and Sarah Geronimo love team puke lots of ticket sales in the box office to beat their record of P176-Million box office gross for A Very Special Love and P209 million for You Changed My Life.

Watch for the biggest love reunion to happen this 2013 as the couple that made everyone smile, laugh and fall in love reunites in "It Takes A Man And A Woman" to share to the whole nation everything that has happened to them in the past years.

Produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films, "It Takes A Man And A Woman" is under the direction of box-office director Cathy Garcia-Molina.
