'Oops! Noah is Gone' - SM Cinemas' family weekend movie date this October

Everybody knows what it’s like to miss a bus, maybe even missing the last bus. But what do you do when you miss the ark?! Entirely unknown creatures miss the life-saving ark and fight for survival against the unstoppable flood that will engulf everything the eye can see. That’s what you could call a problem in the family-oriented movie “Oops! Noah is Gone” – exclusive at SM Cinemas on the weekends of October 15-16 and 22-23.


“Oops! Noah is Gone” introduces the children to Dave, a clumsy, silly-looking, brightly coloured creature whose only skills are making comfortable nests and secreting a foul smelling cloud of gas whenever he gets scared for his live. Dave is constantly moving around searching for a place to stay, a real home, much to the dismay of Finny, his son, who only wants to make friends.  After hearing a rumor of a colossal wave that is said to cover the whole world, Dave packs up again and takes Finny to a giant gathering of animals. With high hopes, Dave and Finny head to the huge ark big enough to fit all the animals of the world built by a very nice human called Noah.

Isla Fisher spies on neighbors in 'Keeping Up with the Joneses'

Multi-talented Isla Fisher, noted for her roles in “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, “Now You See Me” and “The Wedding Crashers”  will next be seen in the high-octane action-comedy “Keeping Up with the Joneses” which also stars Gal Gadot, Zach Galifianakis and Jon Hamm.

"Logan," the official title of the latest Wolverine movie - Teaser Poster

Hugh Jackman finally revealed the official title of the latest Wolverine movie as “Logan” along with a teaser poster showing his bruised claw held by a much smaller hand.


“Logan” director James Mangold (directed “The Wolverine”, 2013) also shared page 2 of the movie’s screenplay on Twitter that read “In this flick, people will get hurt or killed when shit falls on them.  They will get just as hurt or just as killed if they get hit with something big and heavy, like, say, a car.  Should anyone in our story have the misfortune to fall off a roof or out a window, they won’t bounce.  They will die.”

Director Mangold further revealed that Logan being older and in a drunken state, engages in action with his claws extended but is soon pounded with knives, guns and fists.

“Logan” is Hugh Jackman’s last donning of the Wolverine character and from his recent interview with Collider, Hugh Jackman admitted that he feels the pressure has gone the highest notch ever.  "I feel that I'm pushing harder than I've ever pushed before. I suppose the stakes just go up when you announce before your last season that this is your last season, you don't want one game to not be your best.  People ask me, 'How are you gonna be able to let it go?' To me the only way you can let it go is if you left blood every day on the studio floor."

“Logan” will open in Philippine cinemas on March 1, 2017 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

According to reports, however, the car Mark Anthony was driving was stopped at a checkpoint because of a missing front license plate. It was there when the police found a kilo of marijuana inside an open bag.

Reports further said that the former matinee idol tried to slip past the police which resulted in a car chase, which forced the authorities to shoot the tire of his car.

He was arrested at San Fernando City and was temporarily detained at the Station 6 of the Angeles City Police.
