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...

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...

Alabang Town Center, Cinema 4 New Year's Day My two cents worth: You really cannot compare #WalangForever to this film because they belong to two different genres.  Though debatable , I could understand why #WalangForever won.  Jennylyn and Jericho were naturals and the story was so beautiful.  Still, what they did to HONOR THY FATHER was unfair .  They were the ones who gave the invitation for this film to join the MMFF.  They should have given it a chance to be judged fairly.  Instead, they looked for loopholes.  If it were really disqualified, how come they were qualified for other categories? Tsk, tsk, tsk to the nth power!  DISTURBING\AS REAL AS REAL COULD BE\SUSPENSEFUL\MOVING To the chagrin of the other moviegoers who were too stunned because of the situation , my folks and I clapped when the film ended(Everyone applauded when I watched Heneral Luna, so no one looked at me like I was crazy or something).  Besides...

How do I describe this movie without giving spoilers?  Hmm.  Let me think.  Ah, I think I know how.  Directed by Gino M. Santos Written by Jeff Stelton and Keiko Aquino Loosely based on or inspired by the  Wattpad   sensation by  youramnesiagirl  of the same title, is a story of finding your self worth and about living.  It's also about relationships not of the romantic kind and about responsibility.  This movie is NOT all about sex.  There's more to it than that .  It also doesn't stereotype med reps and doctors. Things like these  happen whatever profession or non-profession you are in, and even if there are people like that  in real life, we must believe that there are more people who live life with integrity(listen to Carmi Martin's lines somewhere in the movie), so please don't be scared to watch this. This movie is about loving, losing, sacrificing, being selfless et cetera, et ce...

  "FOREVER may not be PERFECT but it is POSSIBLE!"-Taken from their FB page  Unrated, 1 hr. 36 min. Romance ,  Comedy ,  Special Interest Directed By: Mae Czarina Cruz Written By:     Carmi Raymundo and Charlene Grace Bernardo In Theaters: Jan 15, 2014 Whew. Finally, I'm going to write about this movie. Why did take me so long to write about this when I've even watched it two times because I enjoyed it too much?  My, oh my. I don't know why. Sigh. Perhaps it's because somehow it has hit a soft spot. Sigh. I think I'm more of Rocco than Rocky, but I also see a little bit of Rocky in me. Kim Chiu is very admirable here.  Yes, there was a screenplay, but there were scenes(directions) that gave her freedom to say anything she wanted.  Her role as Raquelita De La Cruz a.k.a. Rocky is someone most of our kababayans  can relate to.  She is hardworking, but even in dire need, she believes th...
