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

Disclaimer: I am NOT a couch potato.  Now that I am better, I do go out once in a while and besides, it's bad for the eyes---the whole body for that matter---if I transfix myself to the telly/television or my laptop even if it claims it has a retina display. SANA DALAWA ANG PUSO (From Fashion Pulis ) #SanaDalawaAngPuso #SDAP Just the stars and their co-stars alone are enough for me to take interest in a Princess and The Pauper type of show, but from day one it was already very interesting. It is implied that they are twins or could be twins because Lisa's mother left them and Mona's mother left a family heirloom for Mona(and what are the odds that they are named Mona and Lisa, huh?). There are times when Lisa feels whatever is happening to Mona. The two leading men are very appealing here and they act well. Bayani Agbayani is very witty and funny here. Ryan Bang is getting better and better.  Kitkat, Kiray, Alma Moreno, Boboy Garovillo, Carla Martinez,...

From Jodi's Instagram.    Btw, she's one of my favourite actors because she's so versatile.  She can play any role and she definitely proved that in this movie. From Star Cinema What we are today are products of things we did in the past.  The unavoidable circumstances, the unforced errors, the decisions we make, so forth and so on.   Vanessa B. Velasco  and co-writer,  Jinky Laurel, present two situations and people have different reactions to it.  Some say it's like "Sliding Doors".  Others say it's like a mirror image or a parallel self.  Others say, since it's a "what if" film and the title says, "Dear Other Self", that one is real (the one with Xian in it) and the other one(the one with Joseph Marco in it) is not.   I guess others don't want to believe the other is not real because both situations have their own sets of triumphs and victories.   Xian and Joseph are both worthy leading men. ...

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...

What made me watch this film?  The trailer! It was beautifully made...It tickled my fancy...Sheesh. I was waiting for this movie to show a month ago and finally, we were able to watch it! We nearly lost RJ several times already and every moment spent with him is cherished. I know people might not understand how much I love my brother, but that's just it...I do! One week before watching the movie, we prepped him not to walk out. He walked out on HITCH (mom and I had to talk had ourselved stamped, brought him home then watched the movie again---we love it),  MADAGASCAR (I still don't get why he didn't like this film), DON'T GIVE UP ON US (Judy Ann Santos and Piolo Pascual---mom joined him and I had to finish the movie alone) and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU when Cecille, Angel Locsin's role, Cecille, ran away from Andrew, her groom played by James Blanco to be with Justin(Richard Gutierrez). We prayed hard that he would finish this film like he did ...
