To tell you frankly, I appreciated this more the second time around, but this blog is about what I felt the FIRST time I saw this. 

I was pretty excited to watch this, and honestly, I love the scenes in NYC.

Everything went sour when they went home.  Things became stereotypical. Fight a prenup with more clauses? What?

I know I don't have any right to criticize this movie, after all, I'm just an observer, but as an observer,  I think I could share my opinions.  Am I right?

 As a whole, I like it.  What's not to like? My crush(OK, one of my crushes), Sam Milby is the leading man.  I like Jennylyn Mercado.   I like all the cast members.  I greatly respect the director,  I love the premise. So what happened? 

 The movie version that we watched seemed spliced, even if we watched it at Greenbelt 1.
When I checked the cast, I saw that Sibyl Santiago played Tatay's wife.  I did not see her in the film.  The only scene where Steven Cambria(Tatay) appeared was at Central Park where he told Wendy that his wife did not like her to stay with them.  Did other scenes get cut?  Or did I get it wrong?  Without the scenes with Sibyl Santiago, Wendy's tatay did not have a redeeming factor.  Dad said he just saw him give her money.  Money that she did not want to accept because she claims she has her own pocket money, but accepted anyway. Hmm... My guess is there were technical glitches. No worries. It happens to the best. 

Yes, yes, yes!  Jennylyn, Sam and the rest of the troop are all good, if not great, but the movie was too long, according to my dad. According to him, there were a lot of dragging scenes and the movie would have been more exciting if it were shorter, but with more substance. We enjoyed it anyway so 
I'll just leave the technical stuff to the experts:

Main cast

  • Sibyl Santiago as Tatay's Wife

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(at least h

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 cetera .  It's about many things, and sex is just a part

Source JC Bonnin, William Martinez, Raymond Lauchengco, Aga Muhlach and Herbert Bautista Directed by Maryo J. Delos Reyes Written by Jake Tordesillas Experiencing the forbidden. Experiencing rejection. Hating your parents. Hating the world around you. Discovering what's hot. Discovering what's cool. Discovering your first true love. Discovering who you are. Growing up can be such a wild time. But not when you've got the best guys to hang out with. Five chaste young men immerse themselves in the superficialities and superfluity of adolescence over the course of their last year in high school. But as they make their gradual transition from boyhood to manhood, they realize it is their formidable bond that stands as the real deal. Starring a generation that gave rise to a new youth culture.-imdb My mind seems to be playing tricks on me.  I just can't believe that these two movies were shown the same year, but if that is the case, then 1984 was filled wi
