Movie Review: A Moment In Time

After seeing her on the train, amateur artist Patrick (Coco Martin) becomes obsessed with Jillian (Julia Montes). He pursues her relentlessly, despite not knowing anything about her. He eventually wins her over, only to learn that she was the driver of the car that ran over his mother years ago.

My Take on Local Films 2012

Here’s  what can I say to our local films for 2012, I think this year is one of the strongest that we have for film in terms of awards and recognition internationally, special mention to films like: Thy Womb , Bwakaw, and Graceland. Actors and Actress that gives recognition to our country like Nora Aunor, Eddie Garcia and Art Acuňa.  The following are for me the highlights of our local films for 2012:

The born of indie film arm of Star Cinema the Skylight Films which they coined their produced films as “Maindie” that  has a successful take in terms of box office like Corazon: Ang Unang Aswang beating My Kontrabida Girl and Amorosa beating commercial film I Do Bidoo Bidoo. Other products of Skylight are My Cactus Heart and Born  To Love You the launching film of Angeline Quinto together with Coco Martin. This film outfit will continue to produce their maindie films next year.

Synopsis of the Film:

Movie Review: Seduction

Istorya ng isang bumbero Richard Gutierez na nainlove sa 2 bababe si Sarah at si Solen. Sa huli ng siya ay mamili naging mahirap para doon sa hindi niya napili na babae na tanggapin ang sitwasyon at dito na nag umpisa ang conflict ng movie. Well the movie is good , not a typical drama love story. Kakaibang atake din ang ginawa sa story at screenplay ng pelikula.

Expect a different Rihard Gutierez here dahil naging matapang siya sa paggawa ng mga maseselan na eksena dito like yung isang love scene niya sa matrona na naitawid naman in a comedy way. Marami ding scenes na magmura sa si Chard na hindi niya typical na ginagawa sa pelikula.  At mukhang natetrend ata ang pagpapakita ng pwet for the seasoned actors that we have right now na inumpisahan ni Derek Ramsay, 

Movie Review: Menor De Edad

Ang pelikulang ito ay tumatalakay sa isang menor de edad na batang babae na produkto ng isang pamilyang sumasalamin sa isang ordinaryong Pilipino. Ang nanay ni Meg Imperial ay may kinakasamang tomboy, ang kanyang ina ay nagkulang sa kanya sa pag gabay sa tuwid na landas na naging dahilan upang maging sandigan nito ang mga kafraternity niya na mga kabataang babae at ang kanyan guro na si Wendell Ramos na sa kaluunan ay idiniin niya sa kasong panggagahasa. Ang katanungan ngayon ay kung nagsasabi ba ng totoo si Meg o isa lang siyang biktima na may tinatagong lihim sa tunay na pangyayari.
