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!

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...
" War, what is it good for? Absolutely nothin'!"- Edwin Starr The Mamasapano Massacre in Mindanao made the people wish that an ALL OUT WAR should happen there. Those that are wishing or hoping for that to happen do not know what they are hoping or wishing for. "The War Song" By THE CULTURE CLUB War war is stupid and people are stupid And love means nothin in some strange quarters War war is stupid and people are stupid And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers People fill the world with narrow confidence Like a child at birth a man with no defence What's mine's my own I won't give it to you No matter what you say No matter what you do Now we're fighting in our hearts Fighting in the streets Won't somebody help me Man is far behind in the search for something new Like a Philistine we're burning witches too This world of fate must be designed for you It matters what you say it matt...
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 ...
