Voyage to rockville

An exciting new moment in Manila music history happens in just a few weeks when Arnel Pineda, lead singer of world famous rock band Journey, performs live on stage in his first global streaming concert. 

Sanre Streaming, a division of Sanre Entertainment Worldwide, and the U.S. record label Imagen Records, has announced Arnel will perform a live, streaming concert on April 5, at the Newport Performing Arts Center, Resorts World complex in Manila.

Themed “Voyage to Rockville,” the concert will be streamed live and on edited delay around the world.

Arnel’s first streaming concert is in conjunction with the launch of Sanre Streaming, a new enterprise for the entertainment giant, Sanre Entertainment Worldwide. Arnel will perform songs from his upcoming album scheduled for release later in 2016 as well as other hits. He will be joined by special guest, 2016 Grammy Award nominee for best live performance, Morgan Rose of the band Sevendust. 

Filipino rock singer and Journey frontman Arnel Pineda will perform onstage with Sevendust’s Morgan Rose and American rock sensation Namesake

Morgan is known throughout the music world as being one of the most dynamic drummers on the planet. Shortly after this concert, Arnel returns with Journey for their upcoming highly anticipated North American tour.

The apt title Voyage to Rockville comes from the idea that now everyone can be there, whether in the stadium, or concert hall, or any venue, and join in, listening and watching music being performed live as they take a voyage with the bands and live audience as well to a very special place known as Rockville.

“With streaming concerts, we can all be together at the same time, the whole world, all at once, can be sitting front row, from wherever they are in the world! What an awesome time we live in!” Arnel said at a press conference.  “We want everyone to take this voyage with us!”

Along with Arnel will be Namesake, a band from Atlanta, Georgia, which is widely acclaimed to be one of the most talented young acts on the planet. Their recently released hit song  “Borders and Fences,” and their controversial current hit song and video “Worlds Away” is being featured on music broadcast and video outlets throughout Asia.

Sanre Entertainment, its affiliates and subsidiaries have become a major force in the music and entertainment industry with offices in the North America and Asia. Sanre Entertainment is bringing its 21st Century approach to providing world-class entertainment to everywhere and beyond. This is just the beginning of Sanre’s commitment to streaming entertainment. Sanre intends to produce numerous concerts yearly for global streaming. If the excitement revolving around Arnel Pineda’s upcoming streaming concert is any indication, this is the beginning of something very big for the future of music, not just in Asia, but everywhere and beyond. @arnelpineda @namesakerock

‘London Has Fallen’

Gerard Butler  as Mike Banning, a Secret Service agent and Special Agent in charge of the Presidential Protection Division

It’s racist and obviously unapologetic for being one. The movie opens mentioning the Philippines and Manila a couple times instantly getting local moviegoers’ attention. And it doesn’t stop there, this sequel to Olympus Has Fallen bursts into a riot even Marvel movie fanatics will enjoy.

London Has Fallen, ironically, is not (really) about the capital of England. It’s a proud American brand all throughout. It emphasizes how the world superpower can triumph against extremists justifying the action it knows in keeping world peace. Nonetheless, it’s a work of fiction that masks itself as a political movie that utilizes Gerard Butler’s macho image. It falls flat for it’s not-so-impressive CGI but its fast-paced storytelling, intelligent humor, and high-octane action sequence make up for its flaws. Generally, London Has Fallen is a highly recommended movie as it leaves you at the edge of your seat. (NW)

‘The Divergent Series: Allegiant’

Theo James  and Shailene Woodley as Fourth and Tris in the third installment of Divergent series

Possibly the weakest of the Divergent movies to date, this third installment finds Tris (Shailene Woodley) venturing beyond the walled boundaries of Chicago, through the toxic deserts of the Fringe, and into the shiny arms of the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. Here, she encounters David (Jeff Daniels, smilingly sinister from the off) whose exposition of the city’s Factions is nothing but claptrap. He also wanders through overdesigned surroundings that are more amusing than helping the movie to have that gritty feel.

Veronica Roth’s source novel has been into two movies (the second part, Ascendant, is due next year). meaning that this treads a lot of water, separating Tris and Four (Theo James), removing the agency of the former, leaving the latter to do the heroic lifting work. The result is plodding stuff with a narrative device that becomes more boringly byzantine with each successive installment. Only Miles Teller seems to be enjoying himself as the disruptively disreputable Peter.
