Entertaining...
14 November 2012
Whew! I just finished watching an advanced screening of Breaking Dawn Part 2 and I must say, the second half of the series' final installment is better than the first. Director Bill Condon knew what the audience crave and gave it to them. Jaw dropping scenes (especially for Twihard fans) will keep you glued and might stop you from reaching for that popcorn. Let's just say that some Twihards in the cinema with me was shocked and some even cried as the latter part of the movie unfold then, BAM! The presentation of the baby Renesmee in my own opinion is necessary so as to be consistent with how the girl looks later in the film. Just watch it and be entertained. I enjoyed my evening watching it with some newfound Twihard friends. :)

An Entertaining RomCom
19 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
After the success of their Immortal TV series, Unofficially Yours, is the much anticipated film collaboration of John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin. When I saw this film this afternoon, the theater goers were mostly composed of couples out on a post-Valentine's Day date. And true enough, the two actors delivered what their viewer are asking for. Their on screen chemistry sizzles in this romantic-comedy directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. The director, whose romantic-comedy films are quite popular among Filipino movie going public, again put into screen the latest date movie of a story penned by Juan Miguel Sevilla.

SPOILER BELOW!!!!!

The story, a one-night stand going to friends with benefit kind of thing to a steady and serious kind of relationship is reminiscent of the Justin Timberlake-Mila Kunis movie but with a bit more depth on the reason behind the "why" the girl doesn't want to fall in love and enter into a committed type of relationship. And like most Filipino romantic-comedies, whatever the reason for the "trauma" might have been, the two leads will be together happily ever after by the movie's ending credits.

Be that as it may, my rating geared toward the good chemistry of John Lloyd and Angel. I think Angel's acting has also improved. She and John Lloyd seemed to have enjoyed doing this film and their verbal sparring came out natural and enjoyable to watch. John Lloyd, as always, may be it drama or comedy, this actor delivers and makes everything so believable.

The supporting actors are okay, especially Techie Agbayani who I last saw in the critically acclaimed independent film Thelma. Her scenes are few (she plays Angel's mom in this film) but as always, Ms. Agbayani is an indelible presence in any film. Her scenes with Angel are very good especially the last one in the kitchen.

If you want sizzling entertainment for a date movie, this is the one for you. Happy viewing!
