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. :-)

We never saw the trailer, but we watched this because of THE Eddie Garcia and Ms. Gloria Romero then just before watching the movie, I was very happy to see the other stars on the poster
Let me start with what my dad exclaimed after watching the movie, "This should be the Best Picture. It's world class!" He rarely uses "world class" describing a Filipino Film, so I believe he really is impressed. We are too.
The story is very controversial, most especially since it is set in a fictitious town called San Martin where people are narrow to close-minded. Even so, the movie is more than those controversies happening in reel and real lives. It's about true friendship, true love, family relationships et cetera, et cetera.
Everyone was chosen well, and thankfully, they were able to immerse in their respective roles, and they ALL delivered!
For me, Ms. Gloria Romero stood out, but I was also in awe with Aiko Melendez and Sunshine Dizon.
I'm so impressed with Ross Pesigan and Shido Roxas. I think, but I'm not sure, it's the first time I watched both actors in a movie, but it's only Shido Roxas who is being introduced in this film.
There is no dead air. Even Albie Casiño's lines, though his role was short, were greatly delivered.
I won't do a roll call anymore.
Kudos to EVERYone involved in this movie in any capacity.
To you dear reader, thanks for your time. I hope you get to see it too.
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 ...
