Greatly acted even. It was as if we were there, experiencing everything with them.  It was as if CCTvs were invented already and we were watching their every move. Peopl

From Google Images Written and Directed by JASON PAUL LAXAMANA From Cosmopolitan Philippines via Julia Barretto A son of deported OFWs meets a once famous child star, now 21, who is running away from all her problems, in a beautiful place in Japan where there are almost no other Filipinos #JuliaBarretto #GeraldAnderson #SagaJapan #BetweenMaybes #JasonPaulLaxama #YayoAguila #ChristianVasquez #RyleSantiago source Spoiler?  Not really.   BETWEEN MAYBES is a pleasant surprise.  Who would've thought GERALD ANDERSON and JULIA BARRETTO would have believable moments together, and have great chemistry?  Both are gorgeous, and both of them can really act, so why didn't we ever imagine that they could have a movie together where they play each other's love interest?  The age difference?  Maybe, but I think that's not it.   Instead of overthinking or overanalysing this, let's just be grateful that "they" thought of pairing t

From  imdb Directed by DAVID BOYD Written by CANDACE LEE BRIAN BRIGHTLY ERIC NEWMAN MELANIE WISTAR In the middle of watching this movie I wondered if this was a true story.  Well, it is, but not about one person, but a thousand, according to the World Wide Web. There are Michael and Cory Brands out there who are baseball players, but this is not really about them. This is a Christian movie, but it is very secular as well.  The struggles of the characters are very real.  They have support groups, and even if Jesus is at the center of it all, the movie shows and reminds us that change does not come overnight, and nothing great could happen if we hold back.  When I searched who said it, "Google" points to SCOTT ELROD, the handsome actor who plays Cory Brand. I like the approach and treatment of this movie.  It talks about Jesus, but it doesn't shove into your face His teachings or whatever. All of us are broken, and we have things in the past we ar

From imdb Directed by JULIUS ALFONSO Written by VOLTA DELOS SANTOS Believe it or not there is something magical about the pairing of these two. I could only speak for myself, but I got those cheap thrills... kilig moments...whenever the two of our lead stars are together. I've seen KAKAI BAUTISTA in person. She is very voluptuous and her voice resonates to the highest heavens.  They even call her THE DENTAL DIVA in reference to her big teeth, but she has her own charm and awesomeness. AHRON VILLENA, according to something I read, and Kakai, were going steady before, and here are a couple of videos that prove it: ( source ) ( source ) I truly believe that once upon a time these two were really in love.  Why is it so impossible for you to believe?   The Underdog (the short story version) is far from the story of Harry and Patty, but people questioned Craig's choice.   The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many

From imdb Director: Scott Smith Writers: Susan Isaacs ( book ), Jon Maas (screenplay) Stars: Wendie Malick as Audrey Gregory Harrison as David  Martha Burns as Phyllis Andrea Martin as Anita Adam DiMarco as Alex Barclay Hope as Michael Ona Grauer as Christine Matt Ward as JJ Gary Chalk as Sgt. Mulligan Paul Jarrett as Carter Where was I when this was first shown?  This is a movie I could watch again and again and again.  I just have one major complaint.  Why did GREGORY HARRISON only appear towards the last third of the movie?  Why?  Mr. Harrison is like fine wine.  He has improved with age...gracefully. Sigh. WENDIE MALLICK was already past 62 years old when this was shown, and she was still hot, hot, hot.   The story was based from a best selling author's novel of the same title, and the script was written with great dialogue and action. It is outrageously funny, but it also drives a point.    The two main characters are na
