And I love you so (2009)

-


And I Love You So is a 2009 Philippine romantic fantasy drama film produced by Star Cinema, starring Bea Alonzo, Sam Milby and Derek Ramsay. This film reunites Alonzo and Milby; the previous being Close to You (2006). The film is directed by Laurenti Dyogi, and celebrates the 16th year of Star Cinema films. The film describes the feeling of forbidden love for another person when that love may not be forbidden at all.- Wikipedia 

A Story about LOVE, LOSS, and LETTING GO.  I recommend this movie to people who could not accept the loss of their loved ones; to persons who cannot let go of the ones they love; to people who are unhealthily attached to people and things that remind them of those people; to people who need to move on, but can't; to EVERYONE.


It was a dream come true. LOL  Sam Milby was calling MY name.  He was shouting it while chasing...well, not me, but Bea Alonzo's character, Lara Cruz.  It was music to my ears hearing Sam saying my name.  LOL

I was not really a BIG BROTHER fan.   In fact, I was one of those who was trying to stop it to go on air. LOL

 Long story, and I would rather not share it. I forgot what morning show it was, but Boy Abunda was there (probably Boy and Kris, but then again, maybe not). He was just ousted from the house and he was being interviewed because of that. Then he took his guitar, strummed, then sang. Wow.

 Right there and then, I was a fan. Don't worry. I'm not under the illusion that I'm going to be his wife one day. He's way too young for me et cetera, et cetera. I just like him a lot and I know he'll make it big one day. 

 Even if the rumors of his being gay are true, the admiration remains. Why should it matter? =) 
What did I think of the movie? 

 I love how the story was weaved and the choice of the whole cast (kudos to the casting director). Candy Pangilinan was great as Paula. Her timing is impeccable and she is one of "my contemporaries" though slightly younger, that I admire a lot. The other one is Eugene Domingo.  

 Derek was perfect as Oliver. Coney Reyes and Nikki Gil's roles are "dream in-laws". Even if there were times they "doubted" Lara (Bea Alonzo), they still loved her dearly, like their own flesh and blood. Coney and Nikki played their parts well. Almost everyone played their parts well, but I think I don't like Chris' "women"(the ones who only wanted that one thing), but I like Maricar Reyes because she really has honed her craft and her character had her own struggles and trials.
The MUSIC made me empathize and sympathize with the characters.  I also love the part when Chris strummed his guitar and sang "And I love you so" to Lara.  
DIRECTOR: Laurenti Dyogi- I've met the director ONCE. It was during the ABS-CBN Training Center's HOLLYWOOD PROFESSIONALS COME to MANILA in 1996. Yet, even before that, I was already a fan. I liked the way he directed ANG TV and boy, he is handsome too. Still, it's not as a demented fan that I admire him. I think he's related to my Tita Pier's(may she rest in peace) husband/widower,  because besides having the same last name, there is also a striking resemblance. Anyways, he's a great director.  I hope he will be given more projects.
(5 being the highest)

 For the story and the humanity factor, I give it 5 stars. For the cast and main characters, I give it 5 stars. For Chris' women, I give it 3 stars.  For the sense of humor, I give it 4 stars.  For the logical dialogue, I give it 4.5 stars.  For the "wala lang" factor, I give it 5 stars. For the "struggle"/ conscience factor 4 stars.  For the magic 8 ball 0 stars.  For the reality factor 4 stars.  Anyways, I still HIGHLY recommend it. Please watch it. The story was written by Vanessa Valdez (she also wrote Bea’s other hit movie “One More Chance” and KC Concepcion's "For the First Time"---I love both of those movies) and Jacqueline "Jacqui" Franquelli.

EX with BENEFITS (2015) R-13

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et ce...

Barbie and Her "Kens" (A Dollywood Title) #TeamYuan #KenBie My bubble was burst when the last scene after the credits was shown.  JEYA (Jai, Ethan, Yuan and Andoy) just woke up from a heavy night and they were wondering what happened then in big bold letters this was shown on the TV screen:  Ano nga ba? SOON! Ngarks. I was already very happy that BARBIE (Forteza as Billie Bendiola) and KEN (Chan as Yuan Lee or Lee Yuan) ended up together.  I even shouted it out via FB(viewed by Friends of Friends) then as I was enjoying the after credits scenes, the very last one was that messy pool scene. Everything was just a dream! Come on! I know it's fiction, but to play with our emotions like that?  That is such BS. If I only knew that they'd do that, I would've finished Father Rio's send off party.  :-p  It's different when people wake up from a nightmare, but my goolai.  Why did they have to make it a dream?  If they want Barbie(a...

When The Love Is Gone (Graded A by the Film Ratings Board) R-13 Romance/Drama- 2013

Official Trailer When I heard Alice Dixson utter the classic infamous line, "Nandiyan ba ang asawa ko, na asawa mo, na asawa ng buong bayan?" in the trailer of WHEN THE LOVE HAS GONE,  I said to myself, "Wait, I've heard that line before!" Or something to that effect.  I was not wrong.  Something similar to those lines were uttered by Laurice Guillen as Delza in NAGALIT ANG BUWAN SA HABA NG GABI (click to read the story written and directed by Danny L. Zialcita...Since the blogger doesn't know the name of the actor who played Antonio Almeda aka UP Boy, I'll tell you that his name is Tommy Alvarado)---more below Alice Dixson, Gabby Concepcion, Cristine Reyes, Andi Eigenmann and Jake Cuenca Source Except for the very long title(in terms of syllables), the movie this one was based on, is very beautiful.  When Janice de Belen played the role of Jenny, I felt her pain...her agony. All of the members of cast f...
