Everything to Gain (1996)

Barbara Taylor Bradford was one of my favourite novelists, but I gave away the books to charity for other people to enjoy.  

This is a poster for Everything to Gain. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, the publisher of the film or the graphic artist.

A police detective (Jack Scalia) helps a New York ad executive (Sean Young) go on after her husband (Charles Shaughnessy) and children are murdered.
Initial release: 13 October 1996
Director: Michael Miller
Based on: Everything to Gain novel by Barbara Taylor Bradford
Story by: Barbara Taylor Bradford
Music composed by: James Di Pasquale

Jack Scalia was a big crush of mine in the 1990s because he was very sexy and he was such a great onscreen kisser.  Oh my gosh, I am admitting something like this for everyone to read.  I can't help it.  That was really the case during the 1990s.

Sean Young is one of my favourite leading ladies in the 1980s to the 1990s.  Until now she's very active in the industry and she is like wine...

Her likeness was used in Blade Runner 2049 because she was in the original Blade Runner.

Charles Shaughnessy(CS) is such a beloved actor.  He played a very endearing man who loves his wife and kids.  Andrew was someone not easy to forget and CS made it easy for me to believe that.

Samantha Eggar, one of the hottest stars of her time, was a very ideal mother-in-law in this TV movie.

Joanna Miles played a 55-year-old woman who has a youngish face, but her hair was white.  She felt she doesn't recognize herself anymore when she looks in the mirror. She played it well. 

Anne Ramsay played the role of the best friend of Mallory quite well.

I won't make a roll call anymore.

I like the story, script, acting and direction, but I think it will take a long, long time for me to watch this again, if ever I would.

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.
