All You Need is PAG-IBIG (2015)

-
Cinema 9, Festival Supermall

This MMFF 2015 is filled with controversies so I wasn't really so keen on seeing the entries much, except for HONOR THY FATHER, #WALANGFOREVER and My BEBE Love #KiligPaMore.  Because of the (seemingly) unfair treatment of the MMFF peeps to #HonorThyFatherakaConMan, I opted to watch this first, unfortunately it wasn't available immediately in cinemas nearby... anyways, let's focus on #AllYouNeedIsPAGIBIG.

 We never expected to like this film.  For us, it was just a smorgasbord type of movie with too many people in it.  From start to finish we were able to enjoy it.  It's a good thing(sorry Bistek)that Derek Ramsay took over Herbert Bautista's role because I couldn't imagine it otherwise. Kris and Derek really have good rapport. 

 Kris' son, Bimby acted well. Despite and in spite of Kris' reputation, I think she brought him up well.

 KimXi fans would not be disappointed, most especially with the scenes shot in the majestically beautiful Coron, Palawan(the same place where Kris and Derek's roles first get connected).  Their "formula" is old, but I like the twists.  It is also great to be reminded that whatever happens in our lives, we cannot point fingers, especially if we have the power to decide what direction our lives would.

 My favorite couple in this movie is the tandem of Nova Villa and Ronaldo Valdez. They have been together for decades and have already married off their youngest daughter.  They seemed to have lost the fire of their love already, but...

 It's great to meet Talia and Julia.  They have every right to be in this movie not only because they are grandkids of Charo Santos Concio, but because despite their ages, they, for lack of a better term, are naturals.

 The supporting characters were chosen well and delivered! Pokwang did well too. Jodi and Ian were believable, but I hope Jodi would be able to get more sleep because there were scenes where looked older than Ian, but she still looked pretty anyway.

 I will try(maybe or maybe not) to improve this later.  My dad just got discharged from the urgent care unit of the emergency department of Asian Hospital...

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

Watching Again a favourite movie during my High School Years: BAGETS(1984) and its sequel BAGETS 2(1984)

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
