All of us adults need to search deep inside us once in a while for our inner child to emerge.  An inner child that we may have forgotten and need to be reminded of.  The joy that was probably lost along the way because we have the wrong priorities, et cetera, et cetera.

This latest Winnie the Pooh movie focuses on the adult Christopher Robin who is trapped in a job that he is not happy with.  A job that has robbed him of the joie de vivre.  A job that made him neglect the most important people in his life and made him forget who he really was.

EWAN MCGREGOR plays the part so well that I almost believed that Christopher Robin and the 100 acre woods really exist somewhere in between Sussex and London. 
 
Being "The" Madeleine is BRONTE CARMICHAEL biggest break so far.  She did a mighty fine job of being Christopher Robin's daughter.  She is very believable.

HAYLEY ATWELL plays Christopher Robin's wife who misses the man she married.

The scenes are very believable.  The "teddies" look so alive, even if they are stuffed animals. Or are they? 

I love this movie and I would probably watch this again and again and again.  When it ended I couldn't help, but clap.  Some others applauded along with me, including my folks who were so grateful that they were able to see it.

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

Watching Again a favourite movie during my High School Years: BAGETS(1984) and its sequel BAGETS 2(1984)

Source JC Bonnin, William Martinez, Raymond Lauchengco, Aga Muhlach and Herbert Bautista Directed by Maryo J. Delos Reyes Written by Jake Tordesillas Experiencing the forbidden. Experiencing rejection. Hating your parents. Hating the world around you. Discovering what's hot. Discovering what's cool. Discovering your first true love. Discovering who you are. Growing up can be such a wild time. But not when you've got the best guys to hang out with. Five chaste young men immerse themselves in the superficialities and superfluity of adolescence over the course of their last year in high school. But as they make their gradual transition from boyhood to manhood, they realize it is their formidable bond that stands as the real deal. Starring a generation that gave rise to a new youth culture.-imdb My mind seems to be playing tricks on me.  I just can't believe that these two movies were shown the same year, but if that is the case, then 1984 was filled wi
