My third time watching Ronnie and Julie (1997)

In this modern reinterpretation of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Ronnie (Joshua Jackson) is a hockey player and Julie (Margot Finley) is a talented figure skater. They meet at a debate in which their parents are battling for a mayoral position, and are instantly drawn to each other. However, their fledgling relationship faces obstacles due to their feuding parents. How long can the star-crossed lovers keep their relationship a secret from their families?- Source

Directed by Philip Spink
Written by Richard Clark, Larry Sugar and William Conway
Loosely based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet



If you would count the bits and pieces I saw outside the two times I've watched this modern day adaptation before my very recent viewing, then maybe you could say I've seen this flick a dozen of times.

 I may have been almost thirty when I watched this flick, but watching Joshua Jackson here in this pre-Dawson's Creek days, but after D3(The Mighty Ducks) with beautiful Margot Finley, has always been a welcome delight.

 I saw this first in the States, then a couple of years later, I watched it at home here in the Philippines.  Now, almost twenty years later, I watched it online.

 The magic is still there.  This may be a story of young love, but it still gives me the thrill of being in love with love.

 I love Willa's innocence and the stuff that still happen this day and age.

 The theme song makes me feel light hearted. I included it here along with the lyrics so you won't need to search for them:


SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY HEART
LYRICS:

Not long ago, on my own
i thought i had it figured out
But i've been changing from the start
out of nowhere, something happened to my heart
I turned the page, everyday
But every chapter was the same
And I read it from the start
Out of nowhere, something happened to my heart

Hang on, make it last forever
all our lives together
every moment, everyday
I don't understand this feeling
It's wonderful and strange
I never thought my heart would ever change

All at once I'm so alive
I can feel it deep inside
And I wanna spend my life with you
I never felt like this before
I wanna feel it more and more
Something happened to my heart

WRITTEN AND PRODUCED BY Craig Salkeld, Miles Hill, Jim Gutteridge & Darryl Bennett

PERFORMED BY Tanya Hacheroff and Cameron Grant

Now about the skating...  I may not be a professional skater, but watching Margot Finley during her practices/rehearsals, I know she's definitely not a professional skater.  It was a wise move to make her character use a mask during the regionals.

 Well, I guess that's about all I wanna say.

 Thanks for your time.

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.
