Christmas Solo (2017)

-

Two single parents stumble into the possibility of love for Christmas, only to discover that their daughters are embroiled in a nasty rivalry at school. When the rivalry gets out of control, can hope and healing lead everyone to a peaceful and merry Christmas?Written by Reel One Entertainment

Director: Christie Will Wolf (as Christie Will)
Writer: Sheryl J. Anderson

Bullying is a very serious matter and it shouldn't be taken lightly.  The bully here really has no excuse.  Everyone gets hurt and all of us undergo something one way or another, but the writers made it a point that at the very least we would know where she's coming from.  

The girl being bullied has the bigger heart.  She doesn't necessarily have the better voice, but because she sings from the heart, it resonates to the highest heavens.

It's Christmas, of course the person singing should not be an angry person, and if that person does have problems, it shouldn't show.

PIPPA MACKIE and KAYLA WALLACE gave justice to the characters named Charlotte and MJ, but I must say that during the last leg of the movie, MJ's smile seemed forced, but on the other hand, I think that's but natural.  No one changes overnight.  It's a step by step process.

Now, regarding the two pairs of lovebirds.  I think I'll start with the younger pair.

I think it's good that they thought those two should be together.

Now regarding the dad of MJ(JONATHAN SCARFE) and the mom of Charlotte(KELLI WILLIAMS)... I think they have good chemistry.  I love that they easily felt at home with each other.  True, there was some kind of conflict, but the girl didn't play hard to get and the guy wasn't tongue-tied or anything.  The good thing about it was that they were able to have good conversations leading them to get to know each other more and more.

Oh, I love MJ's Uncle Pete(ALLISTAIR ABELL) and Charlotte's friends(RICKY HE and NAIKA TOUSSAINT). The cupids were good too(LUCIE GUEST as Christina, the Vet's assistant and JANET GLASSFORD as Lisa, the store owner).

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

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

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.
