A predictable story that makes you feel good inside, that's HOMETOWN HERO(HH).

 Thankfully, HH has more to offer, but predictable just the same.

 Nevertheless, HH capped my Sunday movie marathon... a marathon that I did not plan.  I was only intending to watch one movie, but I ended up watching two.  Wait.  I only watched two movies tonight and one this afternoon.  Does that count as a marathon?  Well, with some cooking in between, being in love with love for more than six(6) hours could be considered a marathon because there has been a lot of running involved.  The things that run inside my brain, most especially with this movie.  ;-)

 "Like what?"

 I'm definitely a dog person even if at present I am taking care of a cat named Tumbler.

 What else?

 Antonio Sabato Jr. was a matinee idol during my time(Jack at Melrose Place---I loved his smile and dimples), but he is not the central character here.  He plays a role similar to Patrick Dempsey's boss' role in Enchanted, the head of a Divorce Mediating firm).  He was able to deliver.  Thank goodness.

 Brooke Nevin and Jake Sandvig have good onscreen chemistry.  Jake Sandvig is cute in the Geeky sense and Brooke Nevin is endearing.

 Daisy captured my heart and Megyn Price touched my soul.

 My favourite characters here, besides the main characters are Mitch(McKinley Freeman) and Michelle(Stephanie Charles).  They made me believe that they are a match made in heaven.

 Sigh.

 Predictable or not, I will add this to my list as something to be viewed again.

 Why?

 Simply because I feel good.

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"
