I don't know about the others, but the version I've seen didn't have subtitles(promise, I watched it for free via iFlix).  For one reason or another I kind of liked it that way.  Even if I could only guess some of the words...and I'm not talking about Latin or Spanish, but the language of sorc...

A Bride for Christmas(2012)/Just The Way You Are(2015) -updated

Image
Note:  I am updating this blog entry because I mixed up the name of the male lead with another because of the many movies I watched starring Andrew Walker and some others. After Jessie Patterson (Arielle Kebbel) calls off her third engagement - at the altar! - she swears off serious relationships until she finds “the one.” That is, until charming but chronically single Aiden MacTiernan (Andrew Walker) comes along. Unbeknownst to Jessie, Aiden has bet his friends that he can convince a woman to marry him by Christmas - which is only four weeks away - and Jessie is the target of his bet. As Aiden attempts to court Jessie by first hiring her to decorate his apartment, Jessie looks to her sister, roommate and interior design company partner, Vivian (Kimberley Sustad) as her closest confidant. To complicate matters, Jessie is doggedly pursued by her most recent ex-fiancé, Mike (Sage Brocklebank), who still wants to marry her. When Aiden finds himself falling for Jessie too, will h...

Wildflower's Wildest Ending (Tutok na tutok) ABS-CBN

Image
Crime and other evils still exist, but the innate goodness in man prevails. The ending wasn't as wild as I imagined it to be because among all Wildflower episodes, nothing beats the helicopter scene where Maja Salvador kept on convincing herself that she is NOT Maja, but Lily Cruz and she successfully made the scene more beautiful than her gorgeous face. At any rate, they were successful in making the whole week not so predictable.  The dialogues were still exaggerated, but like what they said, it was on purpose, and it works. On the Live FB feed, thousands of people watched it along with the cast. Did I like the ending? I like and love it.  It's like a quieting song and so what if the other scenes were anticlimactic?   At least we didn't get heart attacks or something. I like that Emilia had a redeeming factor and Julio got his just deserts. Kudos to EVERYONE involved in this project. All the best to you all!   #Barcelo...

Wild Flower (only more than a week to go) SPG (Abs-Cbn)

Ven Abrenica, Maja Salvador, Joseph Marco and RK Bagatsing ( source ) Developed by Direk Ruel S. Bayani  Created by Willy Laconsay Writers: Carmela L. Abaygar Jones Castro Thea Magbanua Edeline Romero Carol Navarro Melchor Escarcha Arlene Tamayo Directors: Onat Diaz Raymund Ocampo Cathy Camarillo Digo Ricio Jerome Pobocan Roderick P. Lindayag Genre: Action/Drama/Romance Except for the 1960's Batman style exaggerated dialogue when they are about to kill each other(they really mean for it to be that  way...to reiterate, they do it on purpose), the story is actually a good one for prime time, but if I were to choose a time slot, I would put it around 9:30 PM, when the younger kids are sound asleep. It's not enough to put SPG(Strong/Strict Parental Guidance) because a lot of scenes are really traumatising and the truth of the matter is, whether a young kid has a television or not, he or she would have access to it if a nei...
