-

Director: Blair Hayes
Feel free to wipe the smile off my face for I still have a hangover.

To say this is the best Christmas romantic love story ever might be an exaggeration of sorts, but it is definitely one of the best.

 There are no real antagonists here, and even if I know that this story is about Tom(Samuel Page) and Jenny(Tara Holt), there were many things that I didn't expect to happen or I guessed it wrongly.

 I did guess some of the other things that happened in the movie right, but it didn't take the excitement away.

 Samuel Page and Tara Holt look so good together on screen.  The chemistry cannot be denied, and they both act naturally. They are beautiful together.

 If I didn't know better, I would think they are a real couple, but I do know that Samuel Page, a Princeton University Alumnus, has been married to Cassidy Boesch since 2014, and they have one child.

 Did this story come close to home? Yes.  It surely did in so many ways.

 Maybe I could share about one thing:

 When I was in a certain country, a person got so mad at me because I didn't tell that person that I'm a linguaphile and a frustrated polyglot.  I acted like that I didn't understand what he and his friends were saying.  He found out by accident.  He is not speaking to me until now.  He was not saying anything bad, but he felt violated.  Duh?!?  Wasn't I supposed to be the one to feel bad?  It's rude not to explain to people within earshot what you are talking about when you are using your vernacular.  There's nothing wrong if that's the language you are comfortable with, but at least explain the gist, lest you are really talking about them.

 Anyways, I'm digressing...again! 

 I could relate to more scenes, but the others are too private to share.

 The long and short of it, I really like this film a lot and I'm sure many would agree with me, if not all.

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. All of the members of cast f...
