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

( source ) This is one of my favourite movies of all time.  I think I've seen this movie about twelve times or more.  It was June 2003 the first time I've seen this, and each time I watch this is like the first time. The casting is perfect and even if there are ads in the movie, they are done in good taste(present tense intentional). It has some funny moments and there are lots of endearing scenes.  Based on the flashbacks, there were scenes of Raffy and Alex's togetherness or bonding that weren't shown during the first part of the movie, meaning their intimacy was not really in an instant like most viewers perceived it to be.  Well, even without those flashbacks, it wasn't really in an instant, but it was sort of like whirlwind kind of thing. Chona and Boyet had some great intimate moments here...oops, I mean, Alex and Raffy.  They both kiss well and the audience could feel the intensity of their emotions.

From Google images For non-Filipino speakers, there are English Subtitles # contramundum   # defytheworld   # showlarawansomelove The 1965 movie was in full English with some Spanish and it left a deep mark in my heart.  Even if I was never deprived of love lives through the years, right now, I am over the hill and considered a spinster by a lot of condescending and "caring" people alike, so I really found Tony Javier's character deplorable.  In the musical movie that almost was not shown during the Metro Manila Film Festival 2017 even if it was critically acclaimed elsewhere, Tony Javier is still an a-hole, and that same a-hole was personified by Paulo Avelino. The Late National Artist Rolando S. Tinio's Screenplay makes the audience feel that every scene is real, so what if a character breaks into song once in a while?  There were funny and witty lines too.  Even if it was faithful to the National Artist, Nick Joaquin's origi...

A woman who is looking for acceptance, who's looking for love, who wants to be appreciated and who wants to belong find what she's looking for from her personal assistant.- WWW Last Saturday, when everyone was lining up for Furious 7(2015)  and me and my nephew were off to watch Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water(I'm not going to write about this---I just watched this movie out of love for my nephew), nobody seemed to be lining up for this movie. When it was announced that it earned PhP25 Million in the first two days, I couldn't believe it.  I thought it was some hype or something, like when this super popular Filipino singer claimed that all seats were taken at the MGM Grand, but I saw that it was a flop, that I thought the stats were exaggerated or something. I have nothing against the actors.  I like them both, but I still thought it was a hype until I watched it myself. The story was conceptualized by Celestine "Toni" Gonzaga, and it was writt...
