The heat is still on

MANILA, Philippines - It may be the onset of the rainy season, but here are movies that could heat up your movie time and entertain you as well. Enjoy watching!

Backdraft. Fire here, fire there, fire everywhere. The movie is about a group of fire fighters struggling to find out about the series of fires occurring around the city. Could there be an arsonist? Or were the events merely coincidence?

Volcano. There is nothing hotter and more terrifying than seeing lava flowing all over the city. This is exactly what happens in the disaster film. It makes many viewers wonder: is this actually possible? Well, better not think of it. Just enjoy the movie.

Towering Inferno. Although the movie just focuses on one building on fire, it successfully gives viewers the thrill and action. Imagine, a 138-storey building on fire with over a hundred guests. No doubt, there’s no dull moment in the film.

Firestarter. The movie is based on Stephen King’s novel of the same title. It is about a girl who has a special ability to spark fire by employing mental power. Problem occurs when a secret agency tries to hunt down the girl for its own gain and purpose. What the agency doesn’t understand is that the kid is literally too hot to handle.

Australia. A lady, a cattle driver and some other friends set to drive over a thousand cattle to another place. Their journey comes with a lot of adventures, not to mention the scorching heat of the sun plus the dust. Viewers can definitely feel the heat and sweat as they watch the film.

Tremors. Set in an isolated and what seems-to-be a dry town, the science-fiction movie is about its residents being attacked by a kind of strange underground creature. Who would ever think that such a huge and wild creature is hidden and lurking beneath the ground? 

Wild Wild West. A “West”-themed movie is definitely not complete without dust, horses and of course, hot weather. The action-comedy movie is about two men who try to stop the plot to assassinate the president. Be surprised and wowed by the fascinating gadgets and cool styles of the characters in the movie.

Jaws. The movie is truly a summer classic. A beach resort finds itself under attack by a killer shark. No, the officials won’t close down the beach, especially not during the peak season. Instead, they are going to hunt down and kill the shark. Is this a good idea — or not? 

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A video game turned movie, the film is about a prince and a princess who join forces to protect a key (a dagger) which could release the sands of time. The movie is set in the desert — obviously, hot and dry. 

Weekend at Bernie’s. As the reward for discovering a fraud, two employees are invited to their boss’ luxurious beach house. However, they come across one big problem: Their boss has been murdered. Afraid that they may be accused of the crime, they try to convince people that their boss is alive. How will they ever do that? Guess it’s not going to be fun in the sun for them.
