When strange apparitions appear in Manhattan, Gilbert and Yates turn to engineer Jillian Holtzmann for help.

Armed with proton packs and plenty of attitude, the four women prepare for an epic battle as more than 1,000 mischievous ghouls descend on Times Square.

If not for my skeptical friend, Kristen, who ended up loving this film, I wouldn't have watched this.  Some naysayers said "It ruined our childhood!"(I say they are exaggerating) and some other words that are not worthy publishing.  It's hard to please my friend, so when she wrote a review/reaction paper about this movie, it got me intrigued and made me decide that I should watch this.


I was supposed to watch this last Friday, but I was ill, so thankfully, I became a tad better last Sunday(which is still practically yesterday, if you ask me).

We watched during the first showing of the day(all Filipino senior citizens from all over could watch movies for free every first showing during Mondays) then had the time of our lives.

I managed my expectations so I wouldn't be disappointed, but I didn't have to.

Yes, this version stars and features empowered women, but it has the blessing of the original stars.

It would never be the same again without Harold Ramis(I kept saying "Only Peter is missing!", but the people behind me kept saying, "Egon!"  They are right.  Of course, of course, Bill Murray is(was) Peter.  I just had what they call, "a senior moment".  

The dialogues are witty.  Describing Chris Hemsworth as "just being an eye candy" is an understatement.  If not for his face(and body), he would not be worth watching here.  He's a dunce. When guys have empty minds, no matter how handsome they are, they lose their value...good thing he was just acting, but he became his character.  Yes, he actually morphed and became Kevin himself.

I am so excited for the next installment.  I'm sure it's going to be a riot.

Caveat:  The ghosts are scarier here, including Slimer and The Marshmallow Man.  Everything's just eerier, so if you have a weak heart, even if this is a comedy, I am discouraging you to watch this.


My favorite part is when Patty shouts, "The devil is a liar!"  She may not be a genius neither does she have a Doctorate, but she definitely is street smart.  She has spunk.

I guess I should end this now.  I'm getting sleepy.

Would guys like it?

I guess so.  My dad loved it and so did most of my friends.

Kudos to everyone involved in this film.

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

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

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.
