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

From Google Images #TaglishBlogEntry JACK EM POPOY is a big pleasant surprise for me. Isa na yata ito sa pinakamangandang nagawa na pelikula ni VIC SOTTO, at nakadagdag ang pagsali nina COCO MARTIN, MAINE MENDOZA, RONALDO VALDEZ, CHERRY PIE PICACHE, BAEBY BASTE, ARJO ATAYDE, RYZA CENON, RYZZA MAE DIZON, JOSE MANALO, WALLY BAYOLA, PAOLO BALLESTEROS, CHAI FONACIER, TIRSO CRUZ III, MARK LAPID, LITO LAPID at marami pang iba. Muntink ko na itong hindi panoorin.  Akala ko puro kalokohan lang. Thankfully, I was mistaken.  The movie is well-written, well-acted, and well-directed.   It is also very current and very relevant. Maybe it's not the best movie in the world, but it surely is not a waste of time watching this movie.  There were a few questionable things with regards to morality, and I'm not talking about the scenes about drugs, or crime in general, because that's a given.  It's just that here were some decisions and words used that a good per...

What would you do if you find out one day that you are a father to a child? Especially when you are a “mumshie”? Paolo Ballesteros showed in the movie “My 2 Mommies,” that you don't have to be a mother to be a mommy. In the movie, his character finds out that he had fathered a child with his ex-girlfriend Monique, played by Solenn Heussaff. So what’s the twist? It turns out that Ballesteros’ character is gay. Their son, Tristan, now has to deal living with two families: that of his father and his partner Ronnie, and of Monique along with her husband.

Archie Adamos,  Jhayvot Galang, Arthur Solinap, Lovely Abella, Angelika Dela Cruz, Taki Saito, Kenneth Medrano, Ryzza Mae Dizon, Miggy Tolentino, Shaira Mae Dela Cruz, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros and Caprice Cayetano ( source ) Writers: Raymund Navarro -   story (also known for Kapitan Awesome) Ma. Acy Q. Ramos - screenplay (also known for With A Smile, Princess in the Palace, etc.)    Mark A. Reyes V is a very versatile director.  He is able to direct movies, TV Shows, TV series or whatever else without being stuck in one genre.   Trip Ubusan is supposed to be a parody or a spoof of TRAIN TO BUSAN,  but like some of the critics or reviewers described, it's more than that. Of course, I had to see it for myself.  Would I have a different opinion or would I agree with them?   After watching it I agree with them. The movie is not just about laughs or scary zombies, it's...

Warning:  There are spoilers "BAKIT LAHAT NG GWAPO MAY BOYFRIEND?"  defies stereotypes, and it is a beautiful movie, but maybe the timing of showing was off.   It was shown after the Angel Locsin/Sam Milby/Zanjoe Marudo film called THIRD PARTY.  I think people thought that it was too soon to watch a movie of a similar theme/genre.   Bestie thinks, and I agree with her, that maybe the problem is that it was not promoted well. It is also filled with parodies of different movies and a couple of examples are MY BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING andTHE PROPOSAL. There were many funny scenes and dialogue.  The film was written and directed well.  It is truly a team effort, so I shrug my shoulders and pout because it truly is a pity that this is not a box office hit.  It should be.   We have set notions about certain people and their actions.  Yes, we tend to put people in boxes.  People have judged people who...
