JASON PAUL LAXAMA'S BETWEEN MAYBES(2019) starring Julia Barretto and Gerald Anderson

Image
From Google Images Written and Directed by JASON PAUL LAXAMANA From Cosmopolitan Philippines via Julia Barretto A son of deported OFWs meets a once famous child star, now 21, who is running away from all her problems, in a beautiful place in Japan where there are almost no other Filipinos #JuliaBarretto #GeraldAnderson #SagaJapan #BetweenMaybes #JasonPaulLaxama #YayoAguila #ChristianVasquez #RyleSantiago source Spoiler?  Not really.   BETWEEN MAYBES is a pleasant surprise.  Who would've thought GERALD ANDERSON and JULIA BARRETTO would have believable moments together, and have great chemistry?  Both are gorgeous, and both of them can really act, so why didn't we ever imagine that they could have a movie together where they play each other's love interest?  The age difference?  Maybe, but I think that's not it.   Instead of overthinking or overanalysing this, let's just be grateful that "they" though...

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 ...

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...
