Never Not Love You (2018)

NEVER NOT LOVE YOU is a very realistic movie that proves that "team REAL" has very good onscreen chemistry.   The thing is, James Reid is a better actor than Nadine Lustre and it's a great thing that they are not competing against each other.  

The couple really work well with one another, it's just that James became Gio Smith, whereas Nadine was still Nadine.  She can act, she's beautiful, toned, and one of my favourites, but in this movie, we saw how James has grown as an actor.  He definitely has honed his craft. From the immature spoiled brat of twenty-three up to his oldest age in the movie, his character buildup was justified.  Whereas Nadine's Joanne looked cold or stoic most of the time, except when she was happily in love or when she was crying.  Wait, maybe that was how her character should be...well,  I don't know.  

The "ending" was quite unfair to James's character disappointing us a bit and made us say, "Yun na yun?"

Nevertheless, the story is beautiful and was well directed by Miss Jadaone. There were scenes there that you would ask, "Was that necessary?", but as a whole it would leave a mark in your heart.

ALL the characters complemented each other, so it's a great team effort.

As one of my friends said, it is intense.

So, even if we got disappointed with the "ending", we still did not regret watching this.  It's worth it!

It's a different James Reid, Nadine Lustre in 'Never Not Love You'



‘Never Not Love You’ first-day reactions are overwhelmingly positive

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"
