Premier Showing of 'Eagle Eye'

The Singles Apostolate of St. James the Great Renewal Movement will sponsor this year's premier showing of the movie "Eagle Eye" at the Festival Supermall this coming September 24.

I, as part of the latest Singles Apostolate batch (SE14... wooot, represent!), is inviting you... yes YOU... in behalf of my batchmates, on this fund raising activity wherein the proceeds will benefit the Joseph Gualandi School for the Hearing Impaired in BF Homes, Las Piñas and the next 65 singles who will comprise the participants of the next Singles Encounter Weekend batch 15 (SE15) and bring them a step closer to God.

As a personal testament, I never thought the community would introduce me to a better understanding of my spirituality and in turn, I would like to share this unique experience so we've been praying (in much advance!) for the success of the SE15 Weekend to be held some time December. We're doing this without even knowing personally who will gonna be this 65 souls who will join the retreat! But in order to get things going, we first have to make this fund raising click so PLEASE support our movie premier (prayers will do as well!).

Just imagine a portion of your moolah is gonna be responsible, on part, for somebody to get closer to God. PLUS you will be able to enjoy a very very good movie! Good bargain, if you ask me.

Our batch, SE14, spearheads the whole project in behalf of the apostolate and I, myself, was assigned to head the publications team. As part of our task, I wrote a short article as a teaser for the upcoming movie. No spoilers. No spills. Just a starter on what to expect from the movie "Eagle Eye".

Catch!

All Eyes for "Eagle Eye"
by Obi

"If you want to live, you will obey."

If this tagline from the upcoming action-thriller movie is enough to engage movie-goers' interest, an in-depth look on what to expect from it will sure make their imaginations flare even more.

"Eagle Eye" follows the story of Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf), a wayward youngster, and Rachel Holloman (Michele Monaghan), a single mom. Both have been perfect strangers until their paths crossed as they are framed as terrorists by a mysterious caller. Through apparent technological capabilities, their omnipresent caller knows their every location and watches their every moves. It even provides them with unwanted resources for the pair to carry out its enforced crime... worse, it has the capability to harm them if they don't cooperate.

Forced into an unwanted alliance by this circumstance, Jerry and Rachel are to accomplish a political assassination to avert the threats in their own lives. With the FBI hot on their trails and their caller's continual harassment, they will have to outwit the mastermind behind this plot to expose the real terrorists behind the calls and to prove their own innocence.

At the helm of the production team is director D.J. Caruso, famed for his direction of hit thrillers "Taking Lives" (2004) and "Two for the Money" (2005). He added a stunning memento on his career last year with the release of the award-winning action-thriller flick "Disturbia". It is in that movie where he first teamed up with rising-star Shia LaBeouf, who also starred in "Transformers" and the latest "Indiana Jones" sequel.

Critics expect a reprisal of performance from the director, whose past works should give him enough skills to come up with another movie masterpiece of the same genre. Likewise, his previous experience working with Shia puts them in a position that they must deliver an equally satisfactory film as "Disturbia" while making "Eagle Eye" a totally different experience from it. Then came Michele Monaghan, whose breakthrough performance is as the lead actor's wife in "Mission Impossible 3". In spite of it, she still has a lot to offer for an action movie and her promising portrayal for the Rachel Holloman role is something to anticipate.

Of course, the entire movie will not be without the executive producer, none other than Steven Spielberg himself. Rumor has it that Spielberg is even slated to direct this movie if he has not been busy working for the latest sequel of his "Indiana Jones" project. Having been familiar with the quality of his films and by just considering that he conceived the idea behind the movie's screenplay, the expectation for "Eagle Eye" raises into much hype.

The movie is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America.

official poster for the movie...

So ayun! You can get the tickets from me at 300 bucks a piece. For those people who goes to mass at St. James in Ayala Alabang Village, I think we'll be setting up a booth there for ticket selling.

Yung mga taga south dyan! Invite your friends, family, neighbors, and officemates to watch. Yung mga hindi taga south, dumayo kayo! There's a lot to see down here! Hehe... just help out!

For inquiries, just call or text me or leave a message here. I'll post a calendar entry regarding this.

C'mon, mamon!
