Jack and Sarah (1995)

From imdb

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.

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.
