From Google Images Alone Together earns P61.9 million in two days, says ABS-CBN subsidiary Written and directed by the critically acclaimed Antoinette Jadaone , Alone/Together, is a story many, if not all, can relate to.  Most of us, when we were very young and idealistic we wanted to change the world, but end up being the scum we thought we'd never be.  LIZA SOBERANO is really more than a pretty face.  She's intelligent, and a true thespian.  I love her chemistry with real life beau, ENRIQUE GIL.  Even if they are both in love with each other in real life, they made us believe they were...are...Tin and Raf.  Yes, they were Tin and Raf, who drawn to each other the instant they came across each other at our National Museum  in front of Juan Luna's Spoliarium . The two have an instant connection that if you haven't the slightest idea what this story about, you would wonder how Aly( Jasmine Curtis-Smith ) and Greg( Adrian Alandy ) became a p...

( source ) NEVER NOT LOVE YOU is a very realistic movie that proves that "team REAL" has very good onscreen chemistry .   The thing is, James Reid is a better actor than Nadine Lustre and it's a great thing that they are not competing against each other.   The couple really work well with one another, it's just that James became Gio Smith, whereas Nadine was still Nadine.  She can act, she's beautiful, toned, and one of my favourites, but in this movie, we saw how James has grown as an actor.  He definitely has honed his craft. From the immature spoiled brat of twenty-three up to his oldest age in the movie, his character buildup was justified.  Whereas Nadine's Joanne looked cold or stoic most of the time, except when she was happily in love or when she was crying.  Wait, maybe that was how her character should be...well,  I don't know.   The "ending" was quite unfair to James's character disappointing us a bit and ma...

From Wikipedia:  Feeling out place in her own home, an eccentric and socially awkward girl, Mika (Julia Barretto), decides to go on a road trip with a very strange goal – to look for aliens. In her trip, Mika accidentally bumps into a simple and good-humored boy, Caloy (Joshua Garcia), whom she chooses to give a free ride to until he reaches his destination. Mika is surprised to know that Caloy has cancer. But despite his condition, he has learned to accept his fate and remained positive and joyful. The two embark on a roadtrip filled with adventures and misadventures, not knowing that it will lead them to experiencing their most memorable romance at such a young age. They unexpectedly teach each other an important lesson on love and life – one that takes most people a lifetime to learn.

A woman who is looking for acceptance, who's looking for love, who wants to be appreciated and who wants to belong find what she's looking for from her personal assistant.- WWW Last Saturday, when everyone was lining up for Furious 7(2015)  and me and my nephew were off to watch Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water(I'm not going to write about this---I just watched this movie out of love for my nephew), nobody seemed to be lining up for this movie. When it was announced that it earned PhP25 Million in the first two days, I couldn't believe it.  I thought it was some hype or something, like when this super popular Filipino singer claimed that all seats were taken at the MGM Grand, but I saw that it was a flop, that I thought the stats were exaggerated or something. I have nothing against the actors.  I like them both, but I still thought it was a hype until I watched it myself. The story was conceptualized by Celestine "Toni" Gonzaga, and it was writt...

When I first saw the trailer above, I told myself I would definitely watch this.  I thought to myself, I needed a good laugh...something to take the blues away.  What I didn't realize was that this was more than a comedy.  It's a movie with direct and hidden messages...a movie that hits several soft spots...a movie that a lot of people, if not all, could relate to. It's the first time, I think, that I've encountered Antoinette Jadaone, and I must say that she's a very good raconteur and director.  I haven't checked who the casting director is, but I must say that he or she chose the actors well.  From the bit players, to the sorta kinda villains, to the best friends, to the in-laws(future in-laws), families to the main characters, the characters were tailor-made for them.   It was great to see familiar faces that I didn't expect to see. I also was amused that Empress Schuck agreed to play a bitchy version of herself.   Everyone did a good ...
