After 3 successive games at San Antonio Spurs' homecourt (Spurs won 2 out of 3), Game 6 is back to Miami Heat's homecourt American Airlines Arena Tuesday night, June 18, (Wednesday morning, June 19, MLA Time).

In the 1st quarter and early part of the 2nd Quarter, the Heat were the ones leading most of the time, but by a slim margin. However, at 4:31 of the 2nd quarter until halftime, their scores were stuck at 44 and the Spurs now leading by a 6-point margin as of half-time, 50-44.

Unlike his breakout performance in Game 5, Spurs' Manu Ginobili wasn't that impressive this Game 6. He had lots of bad passes and misses in the scoring, that 2 minutes before halftime, he's still scoreless. It's Tim Duncan who's doing most of the scoring so far for the Spurs, reaching 20+ points at 3:31 of the 2nd Quarter, while the rest of the team have below 10 points.

Miami Heat meanwhile looked like they're still warming up in the 1st half. I'm expecting more from them this Game 6.

As of halftime, Tin Duncan already has 25 points with 8 rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard has 10. On the other side, Lebron James has only scored 9 so far, Mario Chalmers has 14.

In the 3rd quarter, Manu Ginobili finally hit the basket, a 3-point shot, at 11:42, and put the Spurs on a 9-point lead, 53-44.

At 4:31, Tim Duncan has hit 30 points, with 12 rebounds. This marks only the first time that Duncan scored 30+ in the 2013 NBA Playoffs, and also the first time in his last 26 games.

Spurs' largest lead was 13 points, 71-58, 3:49 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter.

4th quarter already started and someone from Miami Heat finally hit the 20s. At 11:41, Mario Chalmers made a 3-point shot to make his score tally of 20 points.

The Heat's momentum finally arrives. After Lebron made 2 dunks and 3 layups, Mike Miller scored a 3 and Chris Andersen hit 1 of his 2 free throws, scores were tied at 82, 6:34 minutes left. And the Heat finally back on the lead, 82-84, after Ray Allen scored his first 2-point shot at 6:03.

Lebron already has 27 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists as of 4:45 in the last quarter.

The last 2 minutes of the game turned out to be the most exciting of all when scores were tied at 1:27 and Spurs took the lead again with 58 seconds remaining, 91-89. And the lead further increased to 5, 94-89, after a 3 out of 4 free throws by Ginobili, 28 seconds left.

Lebron trimmed down the lead to just 2 when he made a 3-point shot, with only 20 seconds remaining. He now has a total of 30 points.

And 4th quarter ended with 95 all to force a 5-minute overtime (after 1 free throw by Spurs' Kawhi Leonard and a 3-point shot by Heat's Ray Allen).

Overtime....

At 4:26: Spurs' Kawhi Leonard makes a layup, 97-95.
At 3:32: Heat's Chris Bosh answers also with a layup, 97-97.
At 3:08: Leonard hits the basket again, this time a jump shot. 99-97.
At 2:42: Parket hits 1 of 2 free throws, 100-97.
At 2:29: A jumper from Ray Allen, 100-99.
At 1:43: Lebron James adds another 2-point shot to put Heat back on the lead, 100-101. He's just 1 rebound away from having a triple double (32 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists).
At 2:03: It's a triple double for Lebron James: 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
At 0:01: Ray Allen hits 2 free throws, 100-103, and that secured Miami's win to tie series, 3-3, and push a Game 7 on June 20 at the American Airlines Arena (June 21 Philippine Time).

MMFF 2013 official entries announced: No ER Ejercito and SRR!

Posted by  Myk on June 18, 2013

MMFF 2013 official entries have been announced today and I'm sure some of you would be happy to know that no more "Enteng Kabisote", "Agimat", "Panday", "Tanging Ina", "SRR" on this year's MMFF.

The 39th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2013) will have once again 8 official entries, which star the likes of Richard Yap, Jodi Sta. Maria, Daniel Padilla, Kathryn Bernardo, Toni Gonzaga, Robin Padilla, Piolo Pascual, Eugene Domingo, Maricel Soriano, Vice Ganda and of course the reigning MMFF Kings Vic Sotto and Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr., and MMFF Queen Kris Aquino.

It's now the 12th consecutive year that a movie a starring Vic Sotto will be part of MMFF, while it's the 5th consecutive time for Sen. Bong and the 4th consecutive for Kris Aquino.

For the first time after 8 years, there will be no Shake, Rattle & Roll (SRR) film on this year's MMFF. Regal Films' entry instead this 2013 is another horror film "Pagpag", which stars KathNiel and a co-production with Star Cinema and Skylight Films.

Surprisingly, the movie of Laguna Gov. Jeorge Estregan Jr aka ER Ejercito entitled "Boy Golden" which was submitted for consideration is not among the 8 official entries. And worse, it wasn't even shortlisted as ranked 9th or 10th.

This could be the reason why. For the past 2 MMFFs, Gov. ER was part of the festival via "Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story" in 2011 and "El Presidente" in 2012. And in those 2 years, the Governor was always "disappointed" over the MMFF Awards (losing back-to-back the Best Actor award to Dingdong Dantes, and his movie "El Presidente" not winning Best Picture and the FPJ Memorial Award).

Looks like this year's MMFF, which will run from December 25, 2013 to January 7, 2014, won't be having a hard time beating last year's MMFF record of P747-million total grosses, that despite having no more tried-and-tested sequels or movie series. I just wish no more "basura" films this time.

POLL: Which movie or movies are you gonna watch in the MMFF 2013?



Hope my poll for MMFF 2013 will predict once again the box-office ranking of the official entries. (Same kind of poll for MMFF 2012 official entries conducted on this blog was able to predict correctly the ranking of the movies in terms of their box office performance, except though for "The Strangers" and "SRR IV" which were ranked 4th and 5th in the poll, but it turned out to be the other way around.)

NBA Finals 2013 Game 5 - Miami Heat vs Spurs Live Results

Posted by  Myk on 

NBA Finals 2013 Game 5 Final Scores: Miami Heat 104, San Antonio Spurs 114

Before Game 5, Miami Heat-San Antonio Spurs Series was tied at 2-2, and it was one perfect time to make
bets on who would take a 3-2 lead. Most of my friends placed bets for the SA Spurs to win Game 5, and they were right.

While it's not always a home-court advantage, Game 5 results proved to be that case for the Spurs. They're leading by 13 points after the 1st Quarter, 19-32, and still leading by 9 pts. as of halftime, 52-61. At the end of the 3rd, they're up by 12: 75-87.

The scenario even got worse for the Miami Heat in the 4th quarter when the Spurs posted their biggest lead of 20 points at 9:12 (76-96), and later finished with a 10-point win, 104-114.

Putting Manu Ginobili in its Starting 5 in place of Tiago Splitter proved effective for the SA Spurs.

Despite giving their best in Game 5 (it wasn't their worst in the finals), Miami Heat was never ahead of the Spurs on this game.

Spurs now lead series, 3-2, and winning the series in Game 6 is going to be tough as it takes place at Miami's homecourt this Tuesday night, June 18 (Wednesday morning, June 19). Series tied twice already but Miami Heat by the way never took the lead in the series.

QUARTER SCORES: MIAMI HEAT VS SAN ANTONIO SPURS GAME 5
1st Quarter - 19-32

Edward Benosa charms judge Sarah Geronimo on 'The Voice Philippines'

Posted by  Myk on June 16, 2013

Edward Benosa charmed 'The Voice of the Philippines' coach-judge Sarah Geronimo as well as many female and gay viewers, not with his voice though, but with his strongly attractive looks.

Edward Benosa, 23, from Quezon City, tried his luck on 'The Voice of the Philippines' and made it to the blind auditions. But unfortunately he failed to advance.

For his audition shown on the 2nd episode of 'The Voice of the Philippines' aired Sunday, June 16, Edward Benosa performed
"It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars, a very difficult song to sing that he failed to please the judges' ears with it.

I think the judges already knew he's goodlooking because of the
extremely loud screams from the audience. And since it's "The Voice", and the judges don't really care about the face at this point, none of them turned their chairs before the end of his performance. Sayang!

Sarah Geronimo however couldn't hide her "kilig" or her slight "attraction" to Edward Benosa when it was time for the judges to turn around and see his
face. "Witweew!," Sarah remarked the moment she saw him.

Can't blame her. He is such a hottie, in the same level as Gerald Anderson and Rayver Cruz. Look at Edward Benosa's shirtless photo below!

Sarah even asked Edward if he already found his "Bella", and where exactly he lives in QC, only to find out that they're both from Tandang Sora in QC.

Nice try Edward. Maybe the song choice killed his chances. If it was not 'The Voice Philippines', and let's say, it's Pilipinas Got Talent or X Factor, I'm sure he's going to make it all the way to the finals.

But at least, he "caught" Sarah Geronimo, and the fans who were responsible for putting him on Twitter's top trending topics in the Philippines.

In 2009, then 19-year-old Edward Benosa joined GMA 7's 'StarStruck V' and made it to the Top 20.

He was also once a Backroom artist under Boy Abunda, and is a close friend to indie veteran and Boy's discovery Arnold Reyes (photo below), who even accompanied him
during his audition on 'The Voice of the Philippines'. Oh sweet!

They're friends? Really? Mmmmm...

Watch a video
of Edward Benosa singing his original composition:

Aside from Edward, 7 other hopefuls were featured on tonight's episode. 4 of them (Miriam Manalo, Alden Asehan Jr, Ian Masaga, Abby Asistio) also failed to advance, while 3 passed and joined a team (Cora dela Cruz - Team Apl.de.Ap, Sawsan "Taw" Sammie Muhammed - Team Lea, Junji Arias - Team Sarah).

Since first day of blind auditions, Team Lea already has 3 members, Apl.De.Ap has 2 while Bamboo and Sarah each has 1.
