Jack and Sarah (1995)

also from imdb

Even in 1995 the story wasn't anything new.  I know some people in real life that met "this way", and it's somewhat predictable.

What makes this movie great then?  The actors, and the treatment, and the awesome ending.

I have seen this in the 1990s, but I must say that I appreciated this more tonight.

SOPHIA TURNER (Baby Sarah) is at least 23 years old now, but she'll always be remembered as the adorable toddler who brightened everyone's day.

RICHARD E. GRANT plays Jack so effectively that I was crying with him, getting drunk with him, feeling elated with him, et cetera.  When he realised how important Baby Sarah is to him, I felt...feel the love he has for her. Even if he's unrelated to the guy who kinda looks like him, and shares the same last name, he, at the very least, has the same acting ability...some debate/argue/discuss about who is better than the other, but let's not go there.

Mr. Grant and Miss Sullivan have a great supporting team including Dame JUDI DENCH, Mr. IAN MCKELLEN, EILEEN ATKINS, CHERIE LUNGHI, IMOGEN STUBBS, LAURENT GRÉVILL, TRACY THORNE, and SAMANTHA MATHIS.

Every actor is important, including the cute babies(the twins who played the four-month-old baby Sarah).

Well, I won't babble much longer.

Thanks for your time.

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

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
