Daniel Padilla: "Special po talaga si Kathryn at nasa puso ko po talaga siya.”

Isa sa maituturing na hottest teen stars ngayon ang Kapamilya young actor na si Daniel Padilla. 
Sa panayam ni Charlene Gonzalez-Muhlach kay Daniel sa The Buzz kahapon, July 8, tinanong ang young actor-singer kung naisip niya bang magiging ganito kaagad ang tatakbuhin ng career niya.

Ayon kay Daniel, “Noong una po talaga, wala po akong planong mag-artista. Hindi ko po talaga gusto.
“Pero ngayon po, habang tumatagal, nararamdaman ko na po na kapag tinigil ko po ‘to... talagang marami po akong taong, kumbaga, napapasaya.
“At saka, dahil po ito sa inyo at nakahanap na rin ako ng inspirasyon para ituloy ‘to.”
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT DANIEL. Hindi naman makapagsalita si Daniel nang marinig ang mga naging pahayag tungkol sa kanya ng ka-loveteam niyang si Kathryn Bernardo sa VTR.
Sinabi ni Kathryn na may “something” kay Daniel na wala sa ibang lalaki at malakas daw ang dating niya.

Pero ang tanong, yung kiligan ba na ipinapakita nila ay parte lang ng pagiging loveteam nila o yun talaga ang totoo off-cam?
Sagot ni Daniel, “Kasi sa akin, ayoko po na parang makapag-promo lang ako.
“Talagang si Kathryn po, e, gusto ko pong talaga.”
Galing talaga sa puso niya?
“Yes po. Lahat po.
“Kumbaga, kung tratuhin ko po si Kathryn, para po siyang isang prinsesa pong talaga.”
MORE THAN FRIENDS? Masasabi ba ni Daniel na more than friends na sila, less than lovers, or lovers na?
 Hindi pa naman po. Siguro ngayon, parang special friend lang po kami. 
“Kumbaga, nagkakaintindihan lang po kami sa mga bagay.”

“Special friend” daw sila, pero hindi lang nito sigurado kung M.U. (mutual understanding) na ang tawag doon. So, M.U. na nga ba sila?
“Ang hassle dito, ‘no?” natatawang sabi ni Daniel.
“Hindi ko po alam. Ayoko pong sumagot.
“Kasi kapag sinabi kong oo, baka sabihin assuming naman.
“Kapag hindi, siguro, siguro… yun na lang. Ayoko pong maging assuming talaga.”
Papunta na ba sila sa pagiging M.U.?
“Sana,” nakangiting sagot ng Star Magic talent.
Mahal na niyang talaga si Kathryn?
“Siguro po, magaan ang loob ko kay Kathryn.”
Nag-“I love you” na ba siya kay Kathryn?
“A, hindi pa,” mabilis na sagot ni Daniel.
             
“Alam na niya po siguro yun... na special po talaga si Kathryn at nasa puso ko po talaga siya.”
Kinausap na rin daw ni Daniel ang ina ni Kathryn. Ano ang sinabi niya rito?
“Hindi, kinausap po kasi ako ni Tita at sabi, huwag daw po muna dahil bata pa at may mga career.

 Parang sabi, ‘wag munang magmamadali. 
“Parang doon po kami nag-usap na sabi ko po, ‘Tita, wala pong problema kasi ako naman po, willing naman po akong maghintay.’”

Gaano naman siya katagal maghihintay?
“Kahit kailan, ayos lang… forever na ‘yan.”
SONG FOR KATHRYN. Kung may isang kanta siyang gustong i-dedicate kay Kathryn, ito raw yung “Grow Old With You” na kasama sa debut album ni Daniel.
Pero bago kinanta ito ni Daniel, nagbigay muna ito ng mensahe niya para kay Kathryn.
“Siguro Kath, kapag namumroblema ka, nandito lang ako palagi para sa ‘yo at hinding-hindi ako mawawala.
“Nandito lang ako para asikasuhin ka at mag-aalaga sa ‘yo kung wala man… maghihintay.”

Warner Bros. Debuts Posters for ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘Pacific Rim’

In time for next week’s Comic-Con in the US, Warner Bros. has unveiled the teaser posters of two of its eagerly anticipated potential blockbusters: “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “Pacific Rim.” Check out the one-sheet artworks below!

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first of two films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf the Grey and Martin Freeman stars in the central role of Bilbo Baggins. The ensemble cast also includes Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans, Stephen Fry, Ian Holm, Evangeline Lilly, Christopher Lee, Lee Pace, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving and Elijah Wood

Meanwhile, Oscar® nominee Guillermo del Toro (“Pan’s Labyrinth”) is directing “Pacific Rim” from a script by Travis Beacham (“Clash of the Titans”).
In the film, when legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
The film stars Charlie Hunnam (TV’s “Sons of Anarchy”), Idris Elba (“Thor”), Rinko Kikuchi (“The Brothers Bloom”), Charlie Day (“Horrible Bosses”), and Ron Perlman (the “Hellboy” films).
“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” opens in the Philippines on December 2012, to be followed by “Pacific Rim” on July 2013.

One of the world’s most beloved characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb.
“The Amazing Spider-Man” is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to OsCorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

 Now playing across the Philippines in IMAX 3D, Digital 3D, 2D and regular theaters, “The Amazing Spider-Man” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Meet the Cast of ‘Ice Age 4: Continental Drift’

This July 12, reunite with the returning characters of “Ice Age” and meet a whole new set you’ll surely love in.
In the 4th installment of the hit family movie franchise, Ice Age’s Manny, Diego, and Sid-embark upon their greatest adventure after cataclysm sets an entire continent adrift in “Ice Age 4: Continental Drift.” Separated from the rest of the herd, they use an iceberg as a makeshift ship, which launches them on an epic seafaring quest. Manny and the gang are challenged like never before to become heroes and do the impossible, as they encounter exotic sea creatures, explore a brave new world, and battle ruthless pirates. And Scrat’s reunion with his cursed nut catapults him to places no prehistoric squirrel has gone before.

MANNY (Ray Romano)
As the world shifts around him, so does Manny’s family. Manny’s tendency to be overprotective spurs a terrible argument between him and daughter Peaches – just before Scrat splits the world apart, casting him out to sea and separating him from his family and herd. Now he vows to do everything he can to get back to his family and make amends with his daughter.
ELLIE (Queen Latifah)
When Manny, Diego and Sid are separated from the herd, it’s up to Ellie to take her husband’s place as the leader and help everyone find safe ground. She also must temporarily parent Peaches alone. Ellie remembers what it was like to be a teenager and understands her daughter’s first crush. But she must remind Peaches not to try to change to be accepted and be proud of the fact that she’s part possum.

PEACHES (Keke Palmer)
With possums for uncles and two offbeat parents in Manny and Ellie, Peaches has grown into an adorable quirky teenage mammoth with a mind of her own. She’s experiencing her first crush on a cute mammoth named Ethan, but has yet to see that he’s the wrong guy. Peaches longs to prove to Manny that she’s no longer a baby, and can make good decisions on her own. With Manny gone, she and her mother have to lead the herd.
ETHAN (Drake)
Teenage Mammoth heartthrob, Ethan is the object of Peaches’ first crush. He hangs out with the cool kids and is mildly amused by Peaches’ attention. At first Peaches is determined to do anything necessary to catch Ethan’s eye, but eventually she realizes he is more shallow than cool.

SID (John Leguizamo)
Sid is excited when his long lost relatives arrive, seemingly happy to be reunited with him. But they leave just as quickly as they came, intentionally ditching his crotchety GRANNY. Granny is inadvertently swept out to sea with the trio, making Sid’s job surviving the adventure that much harder when he must take care of her every need along the way.

DIEGO (Dennis Leary)
Diego is at the top of his game and ready to help Manny with the adventure at hand. While at sea, Diego meets a female saber tooth pirate named, SHIRA, and begins to have a strange new feeling – love. Diego invites Shira to join the herd. But when she is unable to leave her life as a pirate, and he is forced to leave her behind, he wonders if he’s made the biggest mistake of his life.
SHIRA (by Jennifer Lopez)
Lightning fast on her feet and equally quick-witted, this beautiful saber tooth pirate has become Gutt’s loyal first mate. After Diego and Manny capsize Gutt’s ship, Shira gets separated from the pirates and is shocked to discover that Gutt has no real loyalty to her. When Diego appeals to her join his motley crew, she has to make the decision to stick with Gutt or to join Diego, Manny and the herd.

LOUIS (Josh Gad)
Peaches’ best friend is this soft-spoken, slightly nerdy molehog who is always dutifully by her side and eager to help, even if is to help her get closer to pretty boy Ethan. When Peaches’ heart is ultimately broken by Ethan, Louis secretly wishes she could see that he’s the one who adores her just as she is.

CAP’T GUTT (voiced by Peter Dinklage)
A prehistoric orangutan, Captain Gutt is a massive brute of a pirate who has taken advantage of the chaos caused by the Continental Drift to become the self-appointed Master of the Seas. Whether he’s swinging through the rigging, leading his pirate crew in a shanty or just being an all-around badass dude, Gutt absolutely loves being a pirate and taking whatever he wants in the world. But when Manny and his crew steals his ship and the bounty he has amassed, Gutt’s wrath knows no bounds and he becomes determined to find Manny and get revenge.
SCRAT (voice/squeaks by Chris Wedge)
When Scrat finds a treasure map, he becomes a world explorer and embarks on his biggest adventure yet. Classic Scrat comedy ensues as Scrat painfully searches for the greatest nut treasure in recorded history
FLYNN (Nick Frost)
Flynn’s a 4000 pound English elephant seal with a heart of gold and a head of sand. He’s as passionate about being a pirate as he is clueless. He doesn’t know his port from his aft – and almost never remembers that being a sea creature means he can swim. However, he makes up for what he lacks in intelligence with an abundance of enthusiasm. Whoever coined the phrase “ignorance is bliss” clearly met Flynn first.
RAZ (Rebel Wilson)
This tough, prehistoric Aussie Sheila kangaroo, is the crew’s resident weapons expert, hiding an arsenal of deadly bone swords in her pouch. Don’t mess with her….she’s just looking for a reason to party, and by party she means fight till you drop.
SQUINT (Aziz Ansari)
Squint packs an amazing amount of crazy into his diminutive, prehistoric rabbit frame. If he were more than three feet tall and his adorable bunny ears didn’t always seem to pop up when agitated, he might genuinely be terrifying. His two great passions are his bone knife and unprovoked acts of violence.
SILAS (Alain Chabat)
Perpetually perched on Capt. Gutt’s shoulder, this bird from the south of France packs a surprisingly dangerous airborne punch when he’s not scouting out trouble ahead.

SID’S GRANNY (Wanda Sykes)
Sid’s crochety grandmother becomes a large part of the adventure after accidentally stowing away on the barge with Manny and the gang as they head out to sea. Extremely near sighted and highly opinionated, (a comedic combination) Granny causes loads of trouble for Sid and the guys, especially when she wanders off looking for her thought-to-be deceased pet, Precious.

Ben Stiller vs. Aliens in ‘The Watch’ (Trailer)

Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn reunite in “Neighborhood Watch” along with Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade (whose name is fast becoming a household name for his work in the British TV show “The IT Crowd”).
Ben plays Evan, a man who moves from the big city to the suburbs, and worries that his life will be boring now he’s away from the excitement of the metropolis. But after signing up for the local neighborhood watch patrol, he’s soon thrust into uncovering a massive conspiracy on the world’s total annihilation.
