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

  Never in my wildest dreams did I "see this coming".  If it were up to me, I would've watched Sandara Park's ONE STEP  or Katie Holmes' TOUCHED WITH FIRE , but instead,  I found myself watching this previously X-Rated film called BLISS  with my parents at EVIA Lifestyle Mall's Vista Cinema DOLBY Atmos Theatre and I was very impressed.  The theme is disturbing indeed, but what made it lighter was the treatment and the close to seamless acting of Audie Gemora and Michael De Mesa.  I watched this film like I was watching a tennis match so the scenes did not confuse me.  Thankfully, I didn't make a mistake which scenes were real or just inside Jane's head. While we were watching we were reminded of  Gaslight ,  Misery (which was mentioned in the film) and Satoshi Kon's  Millennium Actress (I wrote about this before, but I couldn't find it) and  Perfect Blue . When I checked online, I learned that it was indeed patte...

Cinema 9, Festival Supermall This MMFF 2015 is filled with controversies so I wasn't really so keen on seeing the entries much, except for HONOR THY FATHER , #WALANGFOREVER and My BEBE Love #KiligPaMore .  Because of the (seemingly) unfair treatment of the MMFF peeps to #HonorThyFatherakaConMan, I opted to watch this first, unfortunately it wasn't available immediately in cinemas nearby... anyways, let's focus on #AllYouNeedIsPAGIBIG. We never expected to like this film.  For us, it was just a smorgasbord type of movie with too many people in it.  From start to finish we were able to enjoy it.  It's a good thing(sorry Bistek)that Derek Ramsay took over Herbert Bautista's role because I couldn't imagine it otherwise. Kris and Derek really have good rapport.  Kris' son, Bimby acted well. Despite and in spite of Kris' reputation, I think she brought him up well. KimXi fans would not be disappointed, most especially with the scenes shot in the maj...

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...

Reyes V I was born on the 16th of March.  When I chose to watch this film because I was intrigued by the trailer, I did not know my birthday was in between two vital dates (the carving and the plane crash of President Ramon Magsaysay) in the movie. The people watching the movie were aware of the different eras except for the two phone pals.  There are times when we love someone deeply not knowing that our love for that person is only a bridge for us or a preparation for us in meeting THE ONE.  Th...
