Dumb and Dumber To

Right timing and right story. The directors and actors of the 1994 hilarious smash hit Dumb and Dumber all agreed that if they were to make a sequel of this cult classic, it had to meet those two prerequisites. 20 long years later and the wait is over. DUMB AND DUMBER TO finally reunites Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, and the audience reception is remarkable. It opened in U.S. theaters on the weekend of November 14, and with an earning of $38.1 million, it enjoys the #1 spot at the box office.

In this sequel, Lloyd (Carrey) is seen confined in a mental hospital and is visited regularly by his best friend Harry (Daniels). Lloyd appears to be in a catatonic state, but finally snaps out of it. It turns out that Harry has his own health issues. He is in need of a new kidney, and he discovers that he has a daughter (Rachel Malvin) who could be a potential kidney donor. In their efforts to find her, the duo reconnects with Harry's ex-girlfriend, Fraida Flecher (Kathleen Turner), and deals with Penny's wealthy and brainy adoptive father (Steve Tom) and his second wife (Laurie Holden).

Production of this sequel began when director Peter Farrelly reached out to Bennett Yellin, his collaborator on the first film, just like his brother Bobby Farrelly. Peter advised him of a plotline that involved Harry and Lloyd looking for a possible love child because Harry needed a new kidney. More creative people from the original team were brought in and the reunion story began taking shape.

Bobby Farrelly shares, “Because of what Jim and Jeff did in the first movie, we knew the bar was set high and we worked a long time on the script.” He reveals that they worked with Carrey early on, and the actor was just too eager to make this reunion movie especially after he'd seen the original film on television in a hotel room. “I had seen bits and pieces of 'Dumb and Dumber' a number of times,” Carrey explains, “but this time I sat and watched it and was laughing and couldn’t believe some of the stuff we did.”

Bobby also recalls that it is Jim Carrey's perfectionism that pushed them to give their best. “Jim is never satisfied with what you have. He’s always thinking, pacing around the set trying to figure out something more than what we gave him,” he says.

Carrey explains this energy: “My work ethic comes from being absolutely desperate to make something interesting happen in every scene.”

Carrey also found a willing partner in comedy crime with Daniels who says, “I’m always reacting to Jim and his brilliant comedy mind, and that’s how it is with Lloyd and Harry. Harry is always a half of a second behind Lloyd, and it works beautifully.” He also says that being friends in real life, they were able to create the chemistry between the characters.

“Dumb and Dumber To” offers nonstop jokes and gags, but the Farrelly brothers note that “The key thing for people to know is that Lloyd and Harry are still good-hearted guys. But since we’ve last seen them, there’s absolutely no mental growth, no character arc. Still, they have each other and that’s enough to get them through life.”

Enjoy the adventures and extreme hilarity of “Dumb and Dumber To”, a pre-Christmas offering from MVP Entertainment and Viva International Pictures. In cinemas starting December 3.

The Pop-Rock Princess considers her newest album a “labor of love” as all the original tracks in it are created by her, her friends, and her future husband, Victor Christian “Yan” Asuncion.

Yeng has two compositions in the album, namely, “Dance Without the Music” and her carrier single “Ikaw,” which is currently the number one song in the country and the most-viewed local music video on YouTube with almost 10 million views.

Meanwhile, among the songs composed by Yan are “Shining Like the Sun (Baby are You Ready),” “Your Love Is My Relief,” and “What’s Up Ahead.”

Other love songs featured in “All About Love” are “Dito Ka Lang Sa Tabi” composed by Toto Sorioso, “Feels Like” by Gus Abarquez, “So Beautiful” by Jonathan Manalo, “Ferris Wheel” by Jed Dumawal, and “Una’t Huling Pag-ibig” by Ebe Dancel.

“Acting will remain my comfort zone. But for now, I want to explore and learn many things like singing, dancing, and hosting. I also want to know how to play musical instruments,” she said.

The 18-year-old recording star admits that she is very hands-on in the production of her album filled with easy-listening, feel-good tracks.

“Since this is my first time in recording, I trusted Star Music with the song choices because they surely know better what fits my voice,” Kathryn explained. “But in terms of the album’s concept, layout, and total look, and even in the music video, I helped out to make it really personalized.”

When asked about her musical influences, the Teen Queen has a handful of favorites, including Juris, Michael Bublé, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and her idol Sarah Geronimo.

Featured in Kathryn’s debut album produced by Rox Santos, are three revivals, five original songs, and three bonus tracks.

She made a revival of Sharon Cuneta’s “Mr. DJ,” Cris Villongco’s “Crush ng Bayan,” and Heart Evangelista’s “Love Has Come My Way.”

Among the original tracks are “Na Sa ‘Yo Din Pala,” “Ikaw Na Nga Yata, “K Tnx Bye,” “Temporary Deja Vu,” and album’s carrier single “You Don’t Know Me” which was composed by singer-songwriter Marion Aunor.

All eight tracks have minus one versions in the album.

Meanwhile, Teen King Daniel Padilla is also part of Kathryn’s debut album. Part of the bonus tracklist are Teen Queen’s version of “Pagdating ng Panahon and the popular KathNiel duet performances of “Got to Believe In Magic” and “Pinas Smile” (ABS-CBN 2014 Summer Station ID).

You're Not You

Kate is a suave, successful classical pianist just diagnosed with ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease). Bec is a brash college student and would-be rock singer who can barely keep her wildly chaotic affairs, romantic and otherwise, together. Yet, when Bec takes a job assisting Kate,Kate sees something special in the way Bec takes care of her. Kate and Becfind each other’s strength through their weaknesses. You're Not You explores how two strangers can bring out the best in each other even in the midst of trials and tribulations. This movie also gives face to the much talked about ALS and will definitely make people more compassionate with victim of the said disease.

You're Not You stars Hilary Swank as Kate, Emmy Rossum as Bec, and Josh Duhamel as Evan.

WHAT IS ALS?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's disease, and rarely Charcot disease—is a neurodegenerative disorderwith various causes. The term motor neurone disease (MND) is sometimes used interchangeably with ALS while others use it to refer to a group of similar conditions that include ALS. ALS is characterised by muscle spasticity, rapidly progressive weakness due to muscle wasting. This results in difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing. The disease usually starts around the age of 60, except in cases that are directly inherited when the usual age of onset is around 50.

About 5 to 10% of cases are directly inherited from a person's parents. ALS is the most common of the five types of motor neuron disease.

The average survival from onset to death is three to four years. Only 4% survive longer than 10 years, although rare cases survive 50 years or more. Most die from respiratory failure. In much of the world rates of ALS are unknown. In Europe the disease affects about 2.2 people per 100,000 per year. In the United States, more than 5,600 are diagnosed every year, and up to 30,000 Americans are currently affected. ALS is responsible for 2 deaths per 100,000 people per year.

Descriptions of the disease date back to at least 1824 by Charles Bell. In 1869 the connection between the symptoms and the underlying neurological problems were first described by Jean-Martin Charcot who in 1874 began using the term amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It became well known in the United States when it affected a famous baseball player by the name of Lou Gehrig, and later when the ice bucket challenge became popular in 2014.

You're Not You is set to be shown in cinemas nationwide this November 26.
