Story by: Chito S. Roño, Jerry Gracio

EMIR is an epic film about our unsung heroes, our OFWs, and in this case it focuses on Amelia and everyone around her who serve in the house of the Royal Palace of the Sheikh who does not have an heir, but when finally he does, Amelia becomes the baby boy's nanny.

Even if this is a musical you can feel every emotion experienced by every cast.  I am very happy that this movie appreciated abroad.  I just hope that Filipinos would appreciate it as well.

The realities of life are presented here and it is explained why some of our countrymen from the North went to the Middle East to serve strangers and take care of children not their own.  Some relatives are appreciate and invest the hard earned money.  Others invent emergencies and tragedies so the money goes down the drain.  #realitybites

The kids get attached to them and have them in their hearts.  I understand this very well because I was attached to my nanny and she was or still is attached to me.  She even named her daughter Lara.

 It is also shown that not all Filipinos get along.  There are lots of intrigues due to envy inside the palace, but once they get past all that, they all become like family.


The actors chosen are of international caliber.  Besides being immersed in their roles, they sing and dance well too.

 Sigh.  Even the baby acts well!

Cultural diversities are shown.  The royal chamber maids and nannies were also given the chance to travel as the royal entourage around the world starting with London.  There are love stories in between too as well as the war that affects everyone. #nailbiting

Sigh, I still have a hangover.  May more people watch, appreciate and love the film.  I assure you, it's not a waste of time.

The most heartbreaking scene in the movie for me as far as Amelia is concerned was when she was reading Victor's letter and the sea waves seemed angry for what Victor did to her.

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

Atonement (2008)

source Atonement  is about Briony Tallis, a young aspiring writer of thirteen who witnessed or thought she had witnessed something atrocious between her older sister, Cecilia, and her long time crush who rejected her when she was about ten or eleven. A series of events that have gone wrong made her demons play inside her head that she saw only what she wanted to see. This in turn ruins the life of Robbie, the young man she adored, but loved her sister dearly. *Young Saoirse(Sear-sha) was very, very effective in her role of Briony  that earned her several nominations and awards. *James McAvoy was a very intriguing Robbie * I don't like the 17-18 year old Briony much. They could've gotten a better actress, but she was good enough. * Vanessa Redgrave's cameo was fantastic! * I like Christopher Hampton's adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel * The music was haunting * Keira's eyes and body language were great...she's really a "classic"
