‘Last Night’ Movie Review: A Dark Take On A Rather Feel-Good Love Story

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>*Minor Spoilers Ahead*</i><br /><br />Piolo Pascual and Toni Gonzaga reunite for a brand new film, this time under the tutelage of Bb. Joyce Bernal titled, “Last Night.” Added crowd draw that the film’s treatment is Bella Padilla’s debut work as a screenwriter. A seemingly familiar romantic comedy film on the surface, the movie takes a darker and interesting spin with the introduction of the thriller and paranormal genre kicking of with Mark (Pascual) and Carmina’s (Gonzaga) supposed chance meeting while both are on the midst of committing suicide. The meet-cute in itself is pretty different and a great springboard for the two’s whirlwind romance. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfzYz4SJN76zGHFp1LBVrnt6B5C5b4UQsn2eeTB0jaXVwAV1BjbYb1kf3uVZDTk20yQMisbp7aw9buehvhyphenhyphenUZHyo3BfX4yzIONCn9fBNQL-pVLd0feQKz4g-_3uAAFfKqKgC3lHGLnWwC/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHfzYz4SJN76zGHFp1LBVrnt6B5C5b4UQsn2eeTB0jaXVwAV1BjbYb1kf3uVZDTk20yQMisbp7aw9buehvhyphenhyphenUZHyo3BfX4yzIONCn9fBNQL-pVLd0feQKz4g-_3uAAFfKqKgC3lHGLnWwC/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-1.jpg" title="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table>First and foremost, the film is shot beautifully. Its various backlighting and scenic locations around old Manila definitely added to the overall viewing experience of watching “Last Night.” The street lamps and old architecture are charming backdrops which made it easy to believe how effortless it is to fall in love and get attached to someone whom you had just met -- especially when there’s already a brewing connection between the two of you. It heightens emotions and definitely pays tribute to the love story that the movie is always meant to be.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRFdkGt98NanjxxV388ehP27MAQkW6Bs0ftlp6hJ7p-cMKeYkHuy0h9ZIHBA1-Np8I1wV9cxiZOmt-jhbMPJZ5K2mYz_94-L8XtRqNGvFebCkJ0qDd4euS2Og9ZTX9ZmTfYmBlcq1Bsk7N/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="852" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRFdkGt98NanjxxV388ehP27MAQkW6Bs0ftlp6hJ7p-cMKeYkHuy0h9ZIHBA1-Np8I1wV9cxiZOmt-jhbMPJZ5K2mYz_94-L8XtRqNGvFebCkJ0qDd4euS2Og9ZTX9ZmTfYmBlcq1Bsk7N/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-2.jpg" title="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’/Star Cinema</i></td></tr></tbody></table>Arguably a departure from their last project together in “Starting All Over Again,” Gonzaga and Pascual once again proved that they can do just about any genre flawlessly work, thanks to their palpable chemistry and individual good acting. The two plays off of each other’s acting chops really well, making their characters believable and easy to relate to.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />While the movie boldly lunges on a different spin at the romantic genre, its plot execution feels too stretched out at times. All throughout the movie, hints of a possible time-lapse are dropped with several newspaper clippings notable from the Martial Law era to the various changes in mood lighting and small details at the background that teases the plot twist. However, the reveal does not come until the third act, which by then, has lost its appeal and intrigue. We already know that a big surprise is coming and we know that it will change the way the whole film is initially perceived, but its prolonged wait time significantly diminishes the element of shock that is meant to go alongside it. <br /><br />Additionally, the paranormal side of the narrative does not seem to be as well honed as it could possibly. Carmina’s entrapment in the “middle world” and her supposed role of saving other people from committing the same mistake of committing suicide does not do anything really revolutionary to the story.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZsMxremK_fplip-mlNqrig8-uCGheEL9tuiciQgoyjDdvwIGhKHxieGtVB1iyNv5_1S8N1WoSnKWDqiwbYKg_8_7NkiNdoT1mxaOwzvj3_EJDORjlS3yiFt08d0TPcb6eyogyIO4wjZ8/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="491" data-original-width="850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUZsMxremK_fplip-mlNqrig8-uCGheEL9tuiciQgoyjDdvwIGhKHxieGtVB1iyNv5_1S8N1WoSnKWDqiwbYKg_8_7NkiNdoT1mxaOwzvj3_EJDORjlS3yiFt08d0TPcb6eyogyIO4wjZ8/s1600/piolo-pascual-toni-gonzaga-last-night-3.jpg" title="Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Piolo Pascual as Mark and Toni Gonzaga as Carmina in ‘Last Night’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table>Although it’s not a perfect melding of genres, “Last Night” is still a good romantic flick. The film has all the running tropes needed for a love story -- from its fun dialogue to its tended moments. Its  thriller component, however,  just lacked the narrative establishment that could be fixed with any additional bits that will help further establish Carmina’s premise more effectively.<br /><br />Watch full trailer here:<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2-5BerbNjOE" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div></center><br /><b>-- ALD, The Summit Express</b></div>

The Future of Energy: Nanotechnology

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Renewable energy resources are very important when it comes to the protecting our future. Across many industries, finding alternative energy sources is incredibly important as a way to stand out against non-environmentally-conscious competitors. With benefits for both businesses and the environment, striving for energy efficiency has never been so prevalent. <br /><br />Nanotechnology has played a large part in the recent developments of alternative energy sources. The nanotech industry is still in its infancy, but the results are already looking to revolutionize how we can get energy from everyday occurrences. <br /><br /><b>Here are some of most recent, innovative energy sources enhanced by nanotechnology that experts have found. </b><br /><br /><b>Body Movement</b><br /><br />One of the biggest complaints and areas of development in mobile technology is the quest for better battery life. Users want a longer lasting battery, but experts and engineers feel the pressure to find alternative and greener ways of sourcing that energy. Because of the demand in mobile computing, researchers have built a system designed to harvest energy from body movement.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQiH3rOvMP2m9RsK2bTCk5AQbNuS_HkNruDhN8Dni1ps0ULULl_mTcM-V2mcG7NWATVNHeV1DvATKGG4lJAvdh8lpkSFGuH14vX9W-RyoLD_oZhC2Je1pmF6namI5bYipBFFID_dxpA9h/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Body Movement" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="553" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQiH3rOvMP2m9RsK2bTCk5AQbNuS_HkNruDhN8Dni1ps0ULULl_mTcM-V2mcG7NWATVNHeV1DvATKGG4lJAvdh8lpkSFGuH14vX9W-RyoLD_oZhC2Je1pmF6namI5bYipBFFID_dxpA9h/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources.jpg" title="Body Movement" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>PHOTO CREDIT: <a rel='nofollow' href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-girl-silhouette-jogger-40751/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pexels.com</a></i></td></tr></tbody></table>Using paper-thin nanogenerators in items of clothing, the sensors can convert both mechanical (movement) and thermal (heat) energies from the body into electric current. The energy can be stored in a self-charging power unit, which requires fall-wave bridge rectifiers to convert the energy. <br /><br />Alongside the developments in nanotechnology, the decreasing prices of electrical features, like bridge rectifiers, are enabling the search for alternative energy sources to expand. The use of sensors and conductors are widening thanks to them being universally available – such as the bridge rectifiers online at <a rel='nofollow' href="http://ph.rs-online.com/web/c/semiconductors/discrete-semiconductors/bridge-rectifiers/">RS Components</a>. <br /><br />The affordable bridge rectifiers, and various electrical components, provide researchers with the extra resources to create systems like the <a rel='nofollow' href="https://www.azocleantech.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=681" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">body-movement nanogenerators</a>. These generators could power electronic textiles, mobile devices, handsets, wearable technology and more. <br /><br /><b>Air Pollution</b><br /><br />Using hydrogen as an alternative energy source has been championed for some time. This is because burning hydrogen with oxygen produces no air polluting waste products, such as carbon dioxide so it’s better for the environment.  However, the energy used to produce pure hydrogen often outweighs the yield and uses unsustainable fuel sources, making it a less efficient way of harvesting energy. <br /><br />Academic researchers in America have created a device that uses an alternative way of producing hydrogen. The device is made up of two compartments, separated by nano-materials. In the one compartment, air pollutants are broken down and the end product passes through the nano-material. This nanotechnology-engineered membrane extracts hydrogen and stores it in the second compartment. The device is powered by solar energy, which makes it entirely self-sustaining and a much greener way of sourcing hydrogen - all thanks to nanotechnology. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinADd1tljKHmRWcLpyUqauule0lmxsMA_GdcXUEB4g0ojXw4P3OMmnB2PhImpfnnZhdSp5P1NWXoKHvXGtZ5fdm6_YKqdRjtmXD6ZO2XwY7GwwOaNW_ZuGL9OrIsBTp1OZl85j3uI3RTEy/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources-pollution.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Air Pollution" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="434" data-original-width="650" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinADd1tljKHmRWcLpyUqauule0lmxsMA_GdcXUEB4g0ojXw4P3OMmnB2PhImpfnnZhdSp5P1NWXoKHvXGtZ5fdm6_YKqdRjtmXD6ZO2XwY7GwwOaNW_ZuGL9OrIsBTp1OZl85j3uI3RTEy/s1600/nanotechnology-future-energy-sources-pollution.jpg" title="Air Pollution" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i style="font-size: 12.8px;">PHOTO CREDIT: <a rel='nofollow' href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/air-air-pollution-chimney-city-221000/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pexels.com</a></i></td></tr></tbody></table>With air pollution one of the biggest environmental problems in big cities, the hydrogen extracting technology could turn one of the most harmful by-products of fossil fuels into useful, clean energy.<br /><br /><b>Solar Energy</b><br /><br />Solar energy is one of the most common and commercial forms of alternative energy sources.

Modern Juan paves the way for gender equality at home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines  — Perhaps no era has prompted a more dramatic shift in gender norms than this one; and these changes are most evident in one of the most basic facets of daily life — chores.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJys7ckem5f2T_3GbOK81WFuAMPafAGyfVlN1Q6GNnG1L980oT0yrzOEuB6ds19jIfmIUvwkdF4RbMqVsJrtTCL_v47sv1IWW_I9vfkqqufQyepJbEJaXczrujUc5G25YHtd1rixyeX-T/s1600/ariel-juan-wash.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Modern Juan paves the way for gender equality at home" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="347" data-original-width="693" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrJys7ckem5f2T_3GbOK81WFuAMPafAGyfVlN1Q6GNnG1L980oT0yrzOEuB6ds19jIfmIUvwkdF4RbMqVsJrtTCL_v47sv1IWW_I9vfkqqufQyepJbEJaXczrujUc5G25YHtd1rixyeX-T/s1600/ariel-juan-wash.JPG" title="Modern Juan paves the way for gender equality at home" /></a></div><br />Where household tasks were once viewed as “women’s work” decades prior, nowadays, a more equal division of tasks for cooking, cleaning, laundry duties, and the like in the new millennium is far from unusual.<br /><br />According to the <a rel='nofollow' href="http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/content/68459/filipino-men-now-more-into-house-chores-study/story/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB)</a>, Filipino men are getting more and more involved in household work. In fact, statistics show that a significant increase was seen in the beginning of 2000s, with employed men allotting an average of 5 hours working on chores. This is a big jump, compared to the average of 1.87 hours from the numbers gathered on employed men from 1979.<br /><br />With these findings, it’s exciting to see how this would continue to take off to new heights. A contemporary and fresh perspective on equality always starts from the core of the community, the family, and this is precisely why laundry detergent brand Ariel wants to keep the conversation going for every Juan.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />As an homage to the men who show their support with the simple yet powerful act of contributing to housework, Ariel’s #JuanWash campaign seeks to inspire men to embrace one of the crucial roles in making a house a home by simply chipping in on the laundry. On September 1, 2017, Ariel launched the campaign online as a thank you to the Juan Washers, or the men who confidently help with the laundry. In partnership with Eat Bulaga, Ariel will be scouring through many different barangays in Metro Manila to find Juan Washers every Friday.<br /><br />“For a long time, it has been common for women to have a bigger share in terms of household chores. With the rise of double-income homes and a more open-minded cultural landscape, men are now much more accepting of the idea of contributing to the housework,” explains Luisito Morante, Regional Brand Communications for Procter & Gamble, ASEAN Fabric & Home Care.<br /><br />Many homes have their laundry washed twice a week. If the men of the household were to set aside one day for laundry, this can mean a world of difference for the family as a whole. As a convenient reminder of how each week gives men an opportune moment to show their support, Ariel is looking to dedicate Fridays as #JuanWash days. With this slight addition to their weekly routine, the men of the household can be a New Man as an expert in laundry.<br /><br />By celebrating the men who take a stand for equality through #JuanWash, Ariel continues to break barriers after coming from the successful launch of #AhonPinay – a project in partnership with TESDA (Technical Education and Skills Development Authority) that sought to provide women with more work opportunities by training them in commonly male-dominated jobs. Through #JuanWash, Ariel further emphasizes the advocacy of empowering Filipinos by showcasing the modern Juan’s role in laundry chores as a critical step towards welcoming the change to lead. Because someone who is man enough to do laundry, is someone who cares enough to let the women in their lives have the same opportunity to progress even more.</div>

‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ Movie Review: Charming Outrageousness To The Next Level

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>*Minor Spoilers Ahead*</i><br /><br />Eggsy (Taron Egerton) is back in the field, but this time, in a bit more dire situation as the British underground organization that he belongs to is attacked by a secretive new world group dubbed The Golden Circle spearheaded by kooky but deadly antagonist, Poppy (Julianne Moore). With his back against the wall, he and his trustee ally, Merlin (Mark Strong) cross the pond to America to seek help from their Stateside counterparts known as the Statesman. Backed-up by some new allies like Champ (Jeff Bridges), Tequila (Channing Tatum), Whiskey (Pedro Pascal) and Ginger Ale (Halle Berry), they will work together to foil their new adversary’s evil plans. On top of that, survival of Harry (Colin Firth) remains to be the looming mystery surrounding the film.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftOGVCTQYWjgFPHdkqqsCmm7fp1qh9dPjwfNlzzQ-T1r4BsA4g6kUf0-IdViiqQkoqis2TwnuLtfta0JuZb2LB1iQ6-pcmU_lm8IqE72BPKgNpSt0DMan_oWHvVrf8QA84re6SUbLzU61/s1600/kingsman-2-golden-circle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Taron Egerton as Eggsy, Channing Tatum as Tequila and Halle Berry as Ginger Ale in ‘Kingsman" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="415" data-original-width="821" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftOGVCTQYWjgFPHdkqqsCmm7fp1qh9dPjwfNlzzQ-T1r4BsA4g6kUf0-IdViiqQkoqis2TwnuLtfta0JuZb2LB1iQ6-pcmU_lm8IqE72BPKgNpSt0DMan_oWHvVrf8QA84re6SUbLzU61/s1600/kingsman-2-golden-circle.jpg" title="Taron Egerton as Eggsy, Channing Tatum as Tequila and Halle Berry as Ginger Ale in ‘Kingsman" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taron Egerton as Eggsy, Channing Tatum as Tequila and Halle Berry as Ginger Ale in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’/20th Century Fox</td></tr></tbody></table>With an impressive cast chockful of industry veterans, it is hard to not be interested with “Kingsman: The Golden Circle.” But for movie fans, the movie is more than just an assembly of big stars, much attention is given to it because of the person behind the camera for the project -- Matthew Vaughn who was notorious for turning down sequels. From “Kick-Ass” to “X-Men: First Class,” the British director seems to be content with just setting up a potential franchise until he came across this budding franchise.<br /><br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmUEZJ_d84-xtQ9mDy6WBICBmzYoy3TZ1BrbYOhyphenhyphenoJ-kbIykeW-LrS3_qiFcQSYWklisf3g59J1hPbSID1AEC_dCa8yxflECZ4b5MhsepvW1KnAckI4KD8neRoLgdV1KAdfMh2dOGd7_-/s1600/Kingsman-the-golden-circle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Taron Egerton as Eggsy in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="980" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmUEZJ_d84-xtQ9mDy6WBICBmzYoy3TZ1BrbYOhyphenhyphenoJ-kbIykeW-LrS3_qiFcQSYWklisf3g59J1hPbSID1AEC_dCa8yxflECZ4b5MhsepvW1KnAckI4KD8neRoLgdV1KAdfMh2dOGd7_-/s1600/Kingsman-the-golden-circle.jpg" title="Taron Egerton as Eggsy in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taron Egerton as Eggsy in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’/20th Century Fox</td></tr></tbody></table>The sophomore outing from the franchise is highly anticipated after its predecessor surprised everyone with how well crafted of a project it was. But the question now is, how did the sequel fare compared to its very well received predecessor. The verdict, just like the film is a little bit more complicated.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj422tCYQRQTGcqUhksZ-2slscdYBs3nVHg1Rtp6YR4JqC-77KKzK19q8GV_khRxdJsmPOcGQinUXN4dUQUwXwX3PKR1bMiQ6XHvis5-ykDthY2C6saCGxE7a1NBZ53PAP_LKexecS8nqAb/s1600/Kingsman-halle-berry-channing-tatum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Channing Tatum as Agent Tequila and Halle Berry as Ginger Ale in ‘Kingsman" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj422tCYQRQTGcqUhksZ-2slscdYBs3nVHg1Rtp6YR4JqC-77KKzK19q8GV_khRxdJsmPOcGQinUXN4dUQUwXwX3PKR1bMiQ6XHvis5-ykDthY2C6saCGxE7a1NBZ53PAP_LKexecS8nqAb/s1600/Kingsman-halle-berry-channing-tatum.jpg" title="Channing Tatum as Agent Tequila and Halle Berry as Ginger Ale in ‘Kingsman" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Channing Tatum as Agent Tequila and Halle Berry as Ginger Ale in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’/20th Century Fox</td></tr></tbody></table>“The Golden Circle” definitely upped almost everything. From the stunning visuals to its set pieces, going global in itself is a major upgrade from a seemingly small story which is ironic given how the first film’s threat was perceived world wide -- not to mention how fun it was seeing Bridges’ back to his western roots. It just makes sense that this is the organic progression of the story. Sure, we have lost Roxy (Sophie Cook) and JB, but it was nice seeing the franchise have a clear narrative trajectory rather than being just stuck in a rut, doing the same things over and over again.<br /><br />If you think the gore in “The Secret Service” is already too much to handle, its sequel just doubles down on it. The movie is not Rated R for nothing anyway. This one, however, fully embraces its freedom that exploding heads and bleeding people seem to already be the norm. Remember they doubles down on it? “The Golden Circle” literally grinds alive people, makes their flesh into burger patties and feeds it to other people. Too much? For some maybe, but in the realm of this franchise, not totally improbable. Especially when it is basically a nod to the over-the-top ‘60s spy thriller that most of the time borderlines insanity. <br /><br />Unfortunately, just as how “The Golden Circle” ramps up some aspects of its predecessor, it scales back on the other. The action sequences are a little less exciting than those of its predecessor, especially with the jaw-dropping Church sequence featuring Firth -- which in itself is already surprising to see given his usual dramatic expertise. The revolving camera shot trick is once again utilized, but it just doesn’t have the angst and charisma that the Church action set piece had.<br /><br />One shall never underestimate Vaughn’s flare for twists, especially with the “Kingsman” franchise. He was able to cleverly execute one in the original film with Michael Caine’s Chester King apparently a cohort in Samuel L. Jackson’s Valentine’s plans. However, compared to its predecessor, this one seems a little lame, maybe event a bit melodramatic. It was nowhere near the gasp-inducing reveal in “The Secret Service” about Chester crossing his very own organization. That said, it was a bold attempt and is a sure great callback to the traitor’s TV gig. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLqXMpwLVprLNhpv9U81jmMyghMkDkox7xv12lUfES-7iKokxLTSEz0TIl7Jff2DyN0mTg5EoFthaeAqqBJZbmYJOzS3bcO6GmdoBIoobknHaUyXkvL2Yn_Eg5T2lVAK0aF6EIxDWqIP7C/s1600/Kingsman-2017-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Colin Firth as Harry and Taron Egerton as Eggsy in ‘Kingsman" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLqXMpwLVprLNhpv9U81jmMyghMkDkox7xv12lUfES-7iKokxLTSEz0TIl7Jff2DyN0mTg5EoFthaeAqqBJZbmYJOzS3bcO6GmdoBIoobknHaUyXkvL2Yn_Eg5T2lVAK0aF6EIxDWqIP7C/s1600/Kingsman-2017-2.jpg" title="Colin Firth as Harry and Taron Egerton as Eggsy in ‘Kingsman" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Colin Firth as Harry and Taron Egerton as Eggsy in ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’/20th Century Fox</td></tr></tbody></table>More than anything, “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” is a heck of a great time in the theater. While it does not quite surpass the lightning in a bottle success that was “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” it is able to maintain everything that we have loved about the original film. True, some of the cast are barely involved in the whole kerfuffle, but everybody got their due. Most especially, despite a plethora of characters, the film remains focused and not all over the place. The expansion of the lore with the inclusion of the Statesman opens up a lot of opportunities in the future and and judging by how the film left it off, it appears that Vaughn already has a plan with regard to where he wants to take this franchise.<br /><br />Watch full trailer of ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’:<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Nxc-3WpMbg" width="100%"></iframe></div></center></div><br /><b>-- ALD, The Summit Express</b></div>
