Blood Sisters versus Wildflower (ABS-CBN)

Image
Blood Sisters replaced Wildflower on its before TV Patrol time slot.  At first I thought that even if Blood Sisters has a heavy theme the story was lighter than Wildflower. Well, I was wrong.  Definitely wrong. Source Blood Sisters is NOT lighter than Wildflower .  Wildflower, even with its traumatic scenes, especially towards the end of the series, still was lighter because of the exaggerated dialogues that were done on purpose.  You know, those types where comic book type lines like the Batman and Robin series in the 1960s' fight scenes .  Something to that effect without the big words flashing on TV. Source At any rate, or should I say, at the very least?  Well, both series are(were) well acted and believable. Blood Sisters is scarier and I pity the poor child, Jolo, as played by Karlo Ezekiel Torres. Erich is versatile, just like Jodi Sta. Maria, Julia Montes, Vina Morales, Claudine Barretto and all those other great a...

The Significant Other (2018) R-13

‘The Significant Other’ review: Hilariously awful   (Rappler Article by Oggs Cruz) Maybe I agree with the above article around 90%, but since I am writing about this, maybe I found something good about this story, so let's just talk about that.  After all, I am NOT a critic, just an observer. Lovi Poe, Erich Gonzales, Snooky Serna, Alora Sasam, Matet De Leon, Bernardo Bernardo, Ricci Chan and Dina Bonnevie did quite well, but what about Tom?  Well, he's a good and handsome actor, but his character was quite loathsome.  Gagawa na nga lang ng kalokohan, di pa ni-lock ang pinto. Hay naku! Ito naman si Lovi...I mean, Maxene, di pa sinugod yung asawa niya at yung "significant other"...kaso kung ginawa niya yun, baka natapos na ang kwento doon pa lang.  Tapos alam na niya palang di alam nung isa, di pa in-approach heart-to-heart talk :-p  Kung anu-ano pang masasakit na salita ang binitawan.   At least Edward got his just deserts.  Th...
