The Hows of Us(2018)

Image
Source Written(Original Story by Carmi Raymundo.  She also wrote the screenplay with the great director and Gillian Ebreo) and Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina Greenbelt 1 After watching this beautiful movie dad, who was the one who invited us to watch this, FYI, said, "It's a beautiful movie.  There were dragging parts and it's too long, but all in all it's a very beautiful movie." I can't say I disagree with him.  True, there were parts where I dozed off, but I believe that this is one of the best movies KATHRYN BERNARDO and DANIEL PADILLA ever starred in.  There are still glimpses of their young selves, because they are indeed still very young, but it is quite obvious that they have honed their craft.  They play a couple, George and Primo, who fall in love in college, but on their fifth year of being together, they fall apart, literally and figuratively.  Primo flies to Italy to be with his family, but after being silent for two who...

Barcelona: A love untold (2016)

Four "Free" Tickets from E-Plus (in actuality, PhP3.00 each) Directed by: Olivia Lamasan W ritten by:Olivia Lamasan and Carmi Raymundo Thank goodness I finally was able to watch this film.  I did not expect much because thought it was just going to be "the same old story" or probably it was going to be too commercial, but after being so impressed with these two young actors in SHE'S DATING THE GANGSTER , CRAZY BEAUTIFUL YOU  and the update of PANGAKO SA 'YO, even if I am not a die hard fan, I told myself I have to watch this. I was intending to watch this with Joy, but I was still on the road around the time she said she was going to watch this, then we became so busy and when we had time to watch movies, dad wanted to prioritise his provincial hero, Hermano Puli and the update of The Magnificent Seven. The Pentatonix Concert's tickets were purchased much earlier(and I didn't even realise it was a Saturday) so watching this film ...

Crazy Beautiful YOU (2015)

Image
Sometimes, though we don't expect to find love, it's the one that finds us. In "Crazy Beautiful You," we are introduced to Jackie (Kathryn Bernardo), whose rebellious spirit forces her mother (Lorna Tolentino) to take her in a medical mission in Tarlac in hopes that she'd turn for the better. There, Jackie meets a jolly lad named Kiko (Daniel Padilla), who will make sure she gets all her tasks done. In the middle of his mission, he and Jackie will discover something crazy... and beautiful. Directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar ("She's the One," "Bride for Rent," "Past Tense"), "Crazy Beautiful You" also stars Gabby Concepcion and Iñigo Pascual.--- Words from   Star Cinema CRAZY BEAUTIFUL YOU is a team effort because EVERYONE did great(from the story, direction, acting...everything), yes, but I am glad to report  to you, my readers, that in my opinion , this is the best KathNiel team-up...so far. The ...

Bonifacio, Ang Unang Pangulo (2014-MMFF Entry)

Image
#BonifacioAngUnangPangulo #BuhayinAngRebolusyon #MMFF2014 Andres Bonifacio: Myths, trivia, execution FULL LIST: Winners, MMFF 2014 awards night Whether this is the real story or not, this movie deserves the honor for being the BEST PICTURE.  The story is beautifully weaved and even if there are debates about the events and about the great grand father of my friends, it is very believable.   If this is going to be the only  basis of our history, I would not question it at all.  It is very, very convincing.    The script and the acting are very superb.  It is a true team effort.  The problem is, there are a lot of versions written by different historians that would disprove this, but then again, that was what the curator(Eddie Garcia) was trying to convey to the students.   Most of the history books got it wrong, according to him . I wanted to enjoy the movie so I set aside everything I learned from history.  I like h...

She's Dating the Gangster (2014)

Image
Source From ABS-CBN Just when we thought that the "KathNiel" love team was overrated, we were proven wrong.  Even if we  religiously  watched Got2Believe (plus Princess and I before that), we thought that everything was just hyped up that we did not have plans of watching this teen flick. "Thanks" to #glendaph(You rotten lady, why did you destroy the Bondoc Peninsula and other places!) and those power outages, we had no choice , but to watch this because we've already seen the other movies, and the other one  we haven't seen was going to be shown at a much later time. When we entered the cinema everyone was excited. Finally, when the movie started, everyone was focused, with occasional giggles that turned into laughter. Kathryn, Daniel and ALL their co-stars were very effective.  True, I couldn't imagine Kathryn morphing into Dawn Z when she gets older, but somehow it didn't matter.   I have seen Daniel Padilla in person, and he i...
