Sigh.  I wish I weren't allergic to most flowers(I'm not allergic to orchids, lilies, tulips and roses---thank God---as long as no baby's breath or any other floral embellishments are added).  Flowers are so beautiful, they could make anyone smile, and they are very important subjects in this movie.

This movie's theme is not new.  There have been many like Groundhog Day and its predecessors.  As a matter of fact I could even name some of them: 1)12:01; 2)Before I fall, 3)Happy Death Day; 4)Repeaters; 5)Totally Spies' Groundhog Day and 6)When We First Met.  Still, this movie has something to offer that wasn't tackled in those movies.

It has many good intentions, but there were things she should have learned already, but she still was figuring it out. Why did she have to have a date again with Bradley(I don't hate the name, OK?) after she already made him pay...literally? He's the worst among the list of potentials.  Well, at least for me.

There were many things she should have done like a change of wardrobe, which she did after several days of her reality, but went back to them.

She could have learned French in the process, which she didn't.  She could have...

Well, it's not my story to tell, but I wish they made her bond with her future stepmom more.

Would I recommend this movie to my friends?

Yes, because Greg and Nicky do have some magic in their scenes together. Awwww.

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...
