MMDA officer abused by a motorist

this video shows unethical behavior of a motorist which shouldn't happen. Well it's a case here in the Philippines which is happening almost everyday. Traffic enforcers getting mauled and verbally abused by these type of motorist. These motorist are commonly rich people or having a position in the government. I assumed that they believe that their wealth and authority protects them from the hands of justice, because mostly that's the scene here. The poor enforcer wouldn't dare to cross them since they lack financially to battle their plea in the court and after it's done the abuser will go freely and sometimes post a threat to the enforcer's life. I also believe that the only solution that can solve this problem is a re bump in our justice system, of course we have a law about that and the congress and the senate don't have to build additional law for it. Our country have so many law approved but why most of the citizens are disrespectful  and doesn't seem to follow it? It is because our laws doesn't have teeth that can bite on these people. The Law tolerates them and does sometimes make them corrupt. This act should be condemned and  be punished, so I personally plea for our government balance our justice system. Provide the poor with free legal counsels and most of all make our laws have teeth and definite.

bourne legacy no.1 in canadian box office

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Action movie "The Bourne Legacy," with new star Jeremy Renner, raced to the No. 1 spot on U.S. and Canadian box office charts with an estimated $40.3 million in ticket sales over the weekend.

New adult comedy "The Campaign" debuted in second place, winning $27.4 million at domestic theaters. The two new movies knocked three-time box office champion "The Dark Knight Rises" to third place.
"Bourne Legacy" is the fourth movie in the spy franchise that previously starred Matt Damon and has grossed nearly $1 billion around the world. Damon played a CIA assassin with memory loss who tried to discover his true identity while evading the CIA's attempts to kill him.
Universal cast Renner in the new movie in an effort to reboot the series for future sequels. Renner plays agent Aaron Cross, who tries to escape his CIA pursuers with the help of genetic scientist Marta Shearing, played by Rachel Weisz.
Universal and privately held Relativity Media produced "Bourne Legacy" for about $125 million. Opening weekend sales beat Universal's projections for a $35 million debut.
Nikki Rocco, Universal Pictures' president of domestic distribution, said the film performed as expected, and that the studio was happy with its opening weekend.
"It's a validation, it's a successful rebooting of the franchise," she said, adding that it gives Universal an opportunity to continue the Bourne saga.
"The Bourne Legacy" nabbed $48.1 million worldwide over the weekend, bringing its global total to $88.4 million.
"The Campaign" also exceeded pre-weekend forecasts, which had the film debuting with around $20 million. The movie stars Will Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis as two candidates facing off against each other in a race for U.S. Congress.
Dan Fellman, president of theatrical distribution for Warner Bros., said the political comedy played especially well in Washington and Boston as the U.S. presidential campaign gets into full swing.
"We think that the real campaign will add to our 'Campaign'," he said.
"Dark Knight Rises," the final movie in a Batman trilogy starring Christian Bale, took in $19.5 million at North American (U.S. and Canadian) theaters over the weekend. The blockbuster has grossed over $390 million in the U.S. and Canada since its July 20 debut.
"Hope Springs," a new romantic comedy/drama, finished the weekend in the No. 4 spot with $15.6 million. The film stars Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones as an aging couple trying to bring a spark back to their marriage.
"Hope DOES spring," said Rory Bruer, president of distribution at Sony, who expects the film to continue to play well among older audiences.
In fifth place, family film "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days" earned $8.2 million during its second weekend in theaters.
Despite doing well overseas, science-fiction reboot "Total Recall" took in a meager $8.1 million its second weekend, taking a tumble from its tepid $26 million opening.
Comcast Corp's Universal Pictures released "Bourne Legacy." "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Campaign" were distributed by Warner Bros., a unit of Time Warner Inc.. Sony Corp's film studio released "Hope Springs," and News Corp's 20th Century Fox studio distributed "Diary of a Wimpy Kid."

bourne producer says manila scene is the best

“Bourne Legacy” producer Patrick Crowley said the Philippines will be joining “Moscow, Paris, Prague, London, New York City, Madrid, Tangier and Berlin as the new thrill ride on the billion-dollar “Bourne” roller coaster.

“Millions and millions of fans worldwide will be rocketed through San Andres, raced through the Pasay Metro Rail Station, careened down Magsaysay Boulevard, and stopped very quickly at the end of the ride in Navotas Fish Port,” he shared at the red carpet screening of the film last August 5 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater in Resorts World Manila.
 
Best of the franchise

Crowley, who produced all four “Bourne” movies, is proud of its latest installment, particularly the chase sequence filmed in the streets of Manila.

“The movie you’re about to see is being talked about as better than the first three, and the Manila chase as one of the best chases ever.”

He explained that the Philippine shoot required  production people to bring an international team of action specialists, 30 containers of gear from Los Angeles, over 100 people from New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Paris and London; and hundreds of local technicians, drivers and assistants with some “with resumes that stretch back to “Apocalypse Now.”

Crowley also mentioned that for the film’s rooftop chase, they replaced 50 roofs in San Andres, Manila and spent a lot of time working with MMDA (Metropolitan Manila Development Authority) and other local officials in planning traffic diversions for the motorcycle chase.
 
Asian premiere

The August 5 screening is three days ahead of the film’s release in Manila on August 8 and five days in advance of the US premiere.  Crowley explained that the special screening is the production’s way of paying Manila back.

“We felt an obligation to pay back to the people who let us have control of the city for two months. We created huge traffic jams and all of the problems that come from making a good movie,” he said.

Crowley added that this is the only special screening in one of the countries the latest “Bourne” installment was shot in. It is also the film’s Asian premiere.

Will they make more movies in the Philippines after “Bourne”?

“If there is a script that happens to be set in the Philippines or a script that is set somewhere else and would be easier, better to do in the Philippines then we would suggest it, because we really did have a successful experience here,” Crowley replied.

personally I have not gone to see the movie myself but I think the movie is good. Rener is a good actor and they had the excellent choice in Rachel Weiz as the partner for Rener. Judging from the trailes it looks really good looks like there will be a lot of going on in the movie which is kind of  my taste for an action movie. Anyways here's some reviews from rottentomatoes.com for some ideas what you will be seeing in the movie but I may warn you there are some spoilers here so ready yourself for that.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER updates

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" co-directors Anthony Russo and Joe Russo are in the pre-production phase of the follow up to Caps epic cinematic introduction last year. The pair are known for their work on television's "Arrested Development," "Community" and "Happy Endings" and are clearly making a bit of a shift with this large scale, and presumably somewhat darker, comic book tale.

Anthony Russo spoke a bit about his take on the character and the tone of the film in the midst of the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour.

Take a look at the excerpts from the conversation below.

I think Chris Evans is good at comedy, especially dry comedy, but Captain America as a guy -- what I love about him is that there's kind of a nobility, a heroic quality to him. With the comedic sensibilities you and your brother have, is that going to be part of it, I guess? Is that part of the conception process and the scripting process?

It definitely is. I mean, we're trying to grow him as a character, and certainly he's come a long way, from where he started in pre-World War 2 to where he is in modern-day America. So the character has room for growth because of that huge journey that he's been on, Number 1. Number 2, part of the appeal of these movies is the ensemble. Captain America isn't the only character in the film, there are other characters that are perhaps lighter in nature.

Bucky, perhaps?

Yeah, exactly.

You're going with an existing story for "Captain America," right?

In a way. I mean, they're all sort of rooted in what's come before, but they're all also their own jumping-off point as well.

How did you sell yourselves [to get the job for] "Captain America"?

We were comic book geeks from a young age and big fantasy geeks. We got to talk to them in detail about that history. They knew that we understood the brand really well and the characters really well. It was a long process, actually, of talking to them over and over again, through a series of meetings over a long period of time. And I think they just -- we were really passionate about the movie, incredibly passionate about the movie. They felt that, and they felt like it was the right match.

What did you love about [Ed] Brubaker's "Winter Soldier" [comic-book] story that made you say, "Oh yeah, I know what we can do with this"?

Well, we like the [story]. I can't talk too much about specifics, that's the way Marvel handles things. I can say in general that there's sort of a darker, edgier sensibility at work there that we found appealing, and that is going find its way into Captain [America] in the modern day.

Where are you at in terms of production? Are you in active pre-production? Do you have a production start date?

We have a release date, April 2014. We are going to go into production early next year.

"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" opens in AMC Theatres on April 4, 2014.
