I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

From: One Minute Movie Review: ‘#WalangForever’   Everybody has a story.  Even the most monstrous person in the world has at least one person who loves him or her.  We are all unique, but we all have similarities too.  Since we have cable/satellite feeds nowadays you would find out that people do undergo the same thing, one way or another. Mia and Ethan's story is not exactly new, but the way it was(is) told, acted and executed is(was/are/were) very beautiful and almost seamless, if not seamless.  I have described other stories as such too. I share Mia and Ethan's joys and pains.  I admire their friends and family.  Their friends and family truly care for them.  I also related to most parts of this story. Like one critic, I thought of comparing this movie to a Nicholas Sparks story, but like that same person, I agree, it's not.  The story was weaved well and became a beautiful comforter or duvet in the end. My dad's reaction w...

Gateway Cineplex, Araneta Center Cubao There are all kinds of LOVE in this world, but never   the same LOVE twice -    F. Scott Fitzgerald The style is quite similar, but NOT the same, mind you, to the Hawke-Delpy BEFORE trilogy .  It's mostly just the two of them(Mace and Anthony as played by Angelica and JM respectively) with some bit players.  Most of the people who watched this film with us liked it, with the exception of some seniors who exclaimed, " Mabuti na lang libre! " (It's a good thing it's free!) A couple of pairs that said the line above are church leaders, so it's easy to understand that they did not like the expletives uttered by Mace and Anthony like it was the most natural thing in the world.  My parents on the other hand, loved it(the story and execution, not the expletives).   Minus those expletives and the things Mace implied in the movie, it has a great story.   Maybe the only flaw  was when Mace asked An...

Facebook Rappler Review by Zig Marasigan The trailer above made me joyfully wait for this movie to be shown in the cinemas.  Yes, yes, there was a more important event coming and I haven't forgotten who the real reason for the season is, but it made me list this as the first movie to watch on Christmas Day. Let me tell you a secret .  I was only intending to watch four movies anyway and the other three are:  BONIFACIO, KUBOT and MY BIG BOSSING. This morning we were pretty excited to go to Alabang Town Center.  We were given movies passes yesterday and even if we knew that we weren't going to be able to use them(the expiration date was on the 31st and it was the #MMFF2014, so the odds were obviously against us), we were still psyched to see this film. After watching the movie I was able to read the wonderful review of Zig Marasigan .  Even if I don't entirely agree with what he has written, I agree with almost everything he ...
