Behind the beauty of a ‘queen’ in the iWant Original series “Beauty Queens”

Mothers are believed to be the light of the home. But how can one tell that it is time for the light to serve as a guide instead of leading the way? This is the lingering question in the minds of the characters Gloria Diaz, Maxine Medina, Winwyn Marquez, and Ross Pesigan in the iWant Original series “Beauty Queens,” which can be seen outside the Philippines via TFC Online, exclusive for Premium subscribers starting July 29.

Directed by the award-winning director Joel Lamangan, “Beauty Queens” is a story about former Miss Universe titleholder Dahlia (Gloria Diaz) who always wanted the best for her children, which includes her dream that they follow her footsteps as a beauty queen.

Fun and bedlam reigns in the kingdom of the “Kusina Kings”

TFC at the Movies kicks off the month of August with a buffet of comedic proportions in “Kusina Kings” (Kitchen Kings) which starts screening August 2 in Brunei and Papua New Guinea, August 3 in Saipan, the U.S. and Canada, and August 9 in the Middle East.

"Kusina Kings" tells the story of forever best friends Ronnie (Zanjoe Marudo) and Benjie (Empoy Marquez), who have been buddies through good times and bad. Benjie is the chef-entrepreneur, while Ronnie is a klutz in the kitchen. As their restaurant struggles to take-off, Benjie takes on the Kusina Kings Challenge where they will be competing with rival contender Gian Nyeam (Ryan Bang).

A pinch of culinary blunders, a dash of bizarre occurrences, a sprinkle of naughty humor, and a generous serving of comedic genius make a recipe for a sidesplitting, gratifying movie. This comedic masterpiece is helmed by Victor Villanueva who directed the critically-acclaimed indie film ‘Patay na si Hesus’ (Jesus is Dead).

Zanjoe at Empoy Handa Na Maging Kusina Kings

Pareho na magaling sa comedy ang mga aktor na sina Zanjoe at Empoy kahit sila ay polar opposites. Ang matipunong housemate na napatunayan ang kanyang pagiging magaling na artista sa comedy o drama ay sasabak uli para magpatawa. Si Empoy naman ay fresh pa mula sa success ng kanyang pelikula na “Kita Kita” at sa primetime na teleserye na “Since I Found You.”

Dahil dito, isang kakaibang tambalan ang ginawa ng Star Cinema para sa pelikula nilang KUSINA KINGS. Mula sa title pa lang ay malaki na ang kinalaman ng pagkain sa storya kung saan sila ay sasabak sa isang competition para sa ikaka salba ng kanilang restaurant.
