These blog entries are MOSTLY just how I felt after watching the play, musical, concert or TV show, a product I like or things I have read. If I have not at least one good thing to say, then you wouldn't see anything written about it here. Oh, btw, I would seldom(not never) write about blockbusters even if I love them starting today(26 June 2019) just because. :-)

Story by Mark Reyes
Directed by Mark A. Reyes D.G.P.I.
Screenplay by Gina Marissa Tagasa-Gil
A few days ago I reposted an old thing I have written about Moments of Love. There was something about the year Moments of Love was shown. I pondered and pondered then I checked the movies I have seen that year. I wasn't able to check everything. I did not need to for I saw it almost immediately: ETERNITY. This was shown months after Moments of Love.
Both movies tackled about the past and the present, but Eternity is about reincarnation and Moments of Love isn't.
The movie showed the present and the past intermittently. There were moments when I thought it was like DEAD AGAIN. Nora Roberts' MIDNIGHT BAYOU was shown three years later, so I couldn't have compared this with that movie when I watched it the first time.
Anyways, if you have not seen Eternity, then I wouldn't say if I was right in comparing it with Dead Again.
The movie is also of international calibre. It is well acted and there were a lot of moving scenes. Yes, there were a lot of heartstrings pulled.
The fight scenes were also done well.
There are many reincarnation movies, I know, but this still has a lot to offer. There are many surprises a long the way and both present and past lovers are convincing.
They four have a great supporting cast too.
Needless to say, it was written and directed well.
Would I watch it again?
Of course!

From Pep.ph Sigh. I have separation anxiety #sepanx with this series that I have grown to love. It had its off days, but MOST of the time, the scenes are exciting, putting me to the edge of my seat, giving me cheap thrills, or making me laugh. There are times when I get traumatized by a scene or two, that I have to play the piano first before doing my research or anything else...or for me to have happy thoughts before sleeping. That's how effective the script and execution are. Or else, why should it be so real to me when I know that it is only a work of fiction? It's not really advisable for people who have PTSD to watch this, according to my friends who tried watching this, but couldn't because it was so convincing that they had to undergo cleansing rituals so-to-speak before becoming OK. If the very supposedly harmless COCOON could do that to people with mental health issues, then I guess something like this that is so...

JESSE METCALFE and AUTUMN REESER surely made the love between Brad and Sarah seem real. They have good chemistry. The third person in the the triangle, Brad's fianc...
A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE (1985) Honestly, since I remembered the many hours I watched this mini series as a teenager, I just opted to read some cliff notes of the book and the mini series to remind me of it...of them. I remember the other parts so well, but the other parts are so vague. Since I just recently watched HOLD THE DREAM and TO BE THE BEST , my conclusion is that if you love someone, don't let decades pass and wait for your sunset years to let them know how much you love them. A lot of people are not as fortunate to reach their sunset years, and if you die before that, that means you would have had forever held your peace. That's the case of Blackie O'Neill played in this mini series by LIAM NEESON, who also plays the older Blackie opposite Deborah Kerr. (I wrote the ones below before this one) The problem with book series or sequels is that you fall in love with the characters and have a light feeling after the book ends only to find out that love ...
