If the Shoe Fits (1990)

The movie (changed the original link in 2018)

 Directed by Tom Clegg
Written by Timothy Prager and Madeline Di Maggio & Pamela Wallace(a.k.a. Dianne King, Pamela Simpson)
This is about a woman, her dream job, her snobbish prince charming, a modern-day fairy godmother, and a magical pair of shoes.  It is, as the title implies, a modern day Cinderella Story, but there's more to it than that.  It is also a "Super Woman" story.  Kelly Carter wears glasses, but as Prudence...  J/K

It's not the best story and there are far better updates and remakes of Cinderella, but this movie is close to my heart.
Who am I kidding? ROB LOWE's being in this movie is sufficient enough. ;-) 

 This movie was filmed after Dirty Dancing was shown, so I was hoping JENNIFER GREY's transformation would be breathtaking, but it wasn't. "They" weren't so fair to her(hair and makeup artists or anyone who was in charge of her transformation). The movie is set in France, one of the top cities in the world of fashion, but the costumes weren't as glamorous as they should've been, but Kelly's designs are wonderful(on paper). Well, I'm not a fashionista so I have no right to clobber them, but as one who admires people from ordinary to haute couture, I think I know what's beautiful to look at, and what's not.  

 One of its writers, PAMELA WALLACE, also one of the writers Witness starring Lukas Haas, Kelly McGillis, and Harrison Ford, among other things, including Straight From the Heart, so even with the very shabby production and old premise, it surely is worth watching once, twice or thrice.

 The lesson is to be happy for who you really are so you would not have to pretend to be someone you are not for someone to really love you.  

 A modern Cinderella in Paris: While the plain Kelly Carter jobs as a gadrobiere(sic) for the famous fashion designer Francesco, she dreams of designing shoes for him. However she can't win his attention... until she meets a good fairy on the street, who enchants a pair of Kelly's shoes, so that she turns into supermodel Prudence whenever she wears them. She attends one of Francesco's balls and immediately wins his heart. Now, how can she make him love her real self?

Thanks for your time!

Au revoir!

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...
