Silver Bells (2005)

Today is a special day.  It's my good friend and kumare(Gigi L. Salazar)'s birthday, and a few hours from now, my dad would turn a year older, plus of course one of the most important feasts in the Universal Church would be celebrated too.

Special days deserve special movies, and this surely is one of them.  It's about not standing in the way of other people's dreams, love of family, and having your faith in God back, surrendering to Him, and trusting the He knows what's best.

This movie is also well-written(novel by LUANNE RICE, teleplay by JIM MCGRATH)well-acted(ANNE HECHE, TATE DONOVAN, COURTNEY JINES, MICHAEL MITCHELL, VICTORIA JUSTICE, MARGO MARTINDALE, JOHN BENJAMIN HICKEY, JOHN CUNNINGHAM, LOURDES BENEDICTO et al), and well-directed(DICK LOWRY). EVERYone involved in this film should be congratulated.

I shed some tears, and some of them were tears of joy.

Thanks for writing this, Ms. Rice, and thanks for adapting it for the small screen, Mr. McGrath.   Mr. Lowry, you are one of my favorite Directors.  All the best to all of you.

Dear reader, thanks a bunch for your time. 

May we all have a Merry Early Christmas, and if permitted, may we all have a blessed 2008!
