The Day After Valentine's (2018)

Image
By Source (WP:NFCC#4), Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=61444331 Written and Directed by Jason Paul Laxamana Teaser for new Bela Padilla-JC Santos movie is heartbreaking Two Amerasians meet by accident, become instant friends.  The girl helps the boy, the boy listens.  She becomes like a wheel chair, then later a crutch, then later a counsellor, until she wasn't needed anymore, at least in that department. You could interpret the ending in so many ways, after all the day after valentine's is still in future tense, and the future is not set in stone(my favourite phrase, so it seems). Did what I say be considered a spoiler?  Yes and no. This movie is beautiful.  Some, though not all, applauded when it ended. If you listen hard, you could even learn a lot or be reminded of things you have forgotten. The first characters  in the  Arabic alphabet are ALIF-BA-TA. The “F” was dropped due to it rolling off the ...

100 Tula Para Kay Stella (PG) 2017

Naka move on na po ako...natuwa lang ako sa eksena na ito. This blog entry might have a few spoilers, but I'll try my very best to have none, unless I couldn't help it. How do I start this entry then? Maybe I'll start with what I like best and probably you would consider this a spoiler:  Fidel(JC Santos) was able to gain confidence because his roommate and his org mates believed in him.  When people have potential, we should not bring them down and we shouldn't laugh at their imperfections.  Instead, we should encourage them to be the best of what they could be.  Sometimes that's all people need.  A pat on the back...a bit of a push...they don't need jeerers and hecklers who tantamount to being bullies. I also like the ending.  It proves that EVERY scene is important. There is integration and every character or at least every main character learned a thing or two leading them to be wiser and more mature.  In the middle of the sto...

Imbisibol is directed by Lawrence Fajardo It stars: Allen Dizon, Bernardo Bernardo, Ricky Davao, Ces Quesada and JM de Guzman It is a SINAG-MAYNILA entry Highly recommended by Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino  and is adapted from the one-act play of Herlyn Gail Alegre of the same title. She, along with John Paul Bedia, wrote the screenplay As a lover of traveling, every experience is an exciting one for me.  I go to a place legally, I take pictures, some take my pictures, et cetera .  The thing is, I document almost everything, print or share almost everything, because I entered a place LEGALLY. What about those people who live their lives everyday as if it were their last? Those people who were not as fortunate as I am? Those people always hanging on a very, very thin thread...what about them?  Do we care at all?  They leave the country not for leisure, but because they have to, but by doing so, they put their lives in danger. ...
