Paglipad Ng Anghel/Flight of An Angel (2011)

Image
Source It's not as if Gabby is sinless.  He occasionally cusses, he drinks alcohol, he has a temper and he does get those urges like a normal human being has, but his wings just grew and grew after the old lady he helped died in the Monastery. One time, he even had sex with some conniving serpent, for her career advancement.  God looked beyond that and let him keep his wings. De La Salle University celebrated its Centennial Year with PAGLIPAD NG ANGHEL as one of its offerings.  It was beautifully made, as directed by Dr. Clodualdo Del Mundo, Jr. I really have no idea if this was released commercially, but it looked like it was done by professionals. The actors are all perfect for their respective roles and it wasn't that predictable. 🎬🎬🎬🎥🎥🎥🎬🎬🎬 Written and Directed by Dr. Clodualdo Del Mundo, Jr. CAST from imdb : Sid Lucero ...

Just the 3 of Us (R-13) 2016

Image
note: I was able to watch great movies before this one, but for one reason or another I wasn't able to blog about them. Director: Cathy Garcia-Molina An unlikely love story between polar opposites Uno(JOHN LLOYD CRUZ) and CJ(JENNYLYN MERCADO), two strangers, and how one night changes their lives forever. Unforeseen circumstances collide and force Uno and CJ to live under the same roof as they both deal with their sense of responsibility and their yearning for security. Uno is motivated by his sense of family while CJ is governed by an unconditional love that should put her first above everything else. The unlikely thing that binds Uno and CJ together paves the way for them to find in each other the kind of love they never thought they needed. ( source ) Just the 3 of Us is a feel good romantic comedy.  Heartstrings were pulled towards the middle of the film, but it was balanced with lots of laughs, love of family, great friends, etc. The very cute neighbour, H...

Kimmy Dora ang Kiyemeng Prequel (2013)

Image
You've gotta love Dora's brown rice. When Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kiyeme 's showing as full feature flick via the silver screen ended, I was trying to imagine what the sequel would be.  I thought  the twins would get married to their respective partners, then would have kids, so forth and so on. I guess that was too predictable so they chose to have a prequel instead. Others say the first was the best. What's my opinion? Yes, Kimmy Dora was definitely the best, but the other two were barrels of laughs too. It is seldom that comediennes of Eugene's caliber get noticed, so I'm very, very happy that people acknowledge her versatility.  She is a person with a good heart and even with all her fame and accolades, she still gets very, very nervous up to the opening day. ...and because of that very reason, I TRY to make it a point to watch every movie or TV show.  I want to watch one of her stage plays one day.  I hope it would reall...

OTJ (On the Job)---just some random thoughts (2013)

Deplorable...Despicable...Disturbing Reviews On the Job: Cannes Review by Neil Young With ‘On The Job’, Erik Matti delivers an instant classic On the Job: It's "bitter" in the Philippines Erik Matti  is a very versatile director and one of the best writers this country has produced. ON THE JOB(OTJ), for me anyway, is his best so far, as a writer and director. If you're looking for a film review, go ahead and click the links above.  I think everything has been said already.  After all, this film has received a lot of accolades already.  Some say that except for that "extra" love scene(I don't know which one), the one shown in the Philippines is a tamer version. Until I watch the one viewed in the Cannes Festival, I really wouldn't know. All I know is that when I watched the film, I was very, very impressed with everyone . There's one thing, among others, my parents and I noticed.  For a PMA graduate with a law degree who is a...
