Fine, fine. I know that Inception, Salt and Chloe might not be showing in your local cinemas anymore. Pero sayang kasi. Pinanood ko so might as well say something about them. Haha.
First of all, I would like to strongly discourage you from seeing three movies within a span of less than 14 days. I saw [...]

“Nakakapagtaka nga eh… Kung kailan nabokya ‘yung beauty ko, tsaka naman mas maraming nagmahal sa’kin.”
This is one of Rubi’s (Angelica Panganiban) last lines as her soap opera aired its finale last Friday. This is also the main point of the story, which roughly vernacularized Proverbs 31:30—“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman [...]

Something’s anomalous with a universe whose Miss Universe 1999 First Runner-Up poses for Playboy.  So when Miriam Quiambao hit the magazine stands in August 2008, she immediately topped my Top 10 Most Disappointing Events That Happened In My Lifetime List. (Update: Right now, it’s been dethroned by the further drifting illusion of a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout.)
Prominent [...]

Every once in a while, this blog takes a break from its usual grind by addressing world issues that Mr. Obama himself can’t despite his credentials. Such issues involve FIFA, Bambi and my crush.
Should you find yourself baffled by other world issues, you can expect that I am able to address them by asking me [...]

The evolution of blockbuster
Boring. Boringer. Boringest.
This would have been a fitting epitaph for all of the Twilight Saga’s movie versions. Twilight (directed by Catherine Hardwicke) is a lullaby masquerading as a movie, while New Moon (directed by Chris Weitz) is as frustrating as me attempting to extract excitement from enduring Ocean’s Eleven. So I never [...]

Killers (directed by Robert Luketic) is not an Ashton Kutcher movie. Don’t take it personal girls but Katherine Heigl outshines Twitterati Kutcher in this romantic action-comedy. Mr. Demi Moore has his moments but Heigl made me giggle like a beagle (maka-rhyme lang, haha) with her awkward, clueless wife-of-an-ex-spy role.

Make no mistake, though, Killers is an [...]

Now I know how it feels like to be immersed in a movie with the main protagonist crying 90-plus percent of the time! KC Concepcion is not a bad actress. But Star Cinema’s I’ll Be There (directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes) subjected KC’s ever-ready tear glands to arduous toil which felt much like [...]

Hay, tagal kong nawala. Faithfulness to one’s blog could be as tough as faithfulness to one’s girlfriend. (Experienced?) But like any romantic relationship, it could be maintained by God’s grace. So here I am trying to maintain this blog by God’s grace.
Haven’t spotted any significant issue to talk about yet so let’s talk about me [...]

Versatile, unrestrained and face-malleable, Eugene Domingo is the funniest Filipino actress alive. Sorry Pokwang and Ai Ai, but Eugene is probably contemporary Pinoy showbiz’s fledgling Dolphy. I say “probably” because I’m not a fortuneteller.
 
In her latest movie Here Comes the Bride (written and directed by Chris Martinez) fortune, eclipse, geography and magnetic field join forces [...]

Yet again, we are dragged into it.
Fuming and orange-clad, millionaire TV host Willie Revillame slammed showbiz columnist Jobert Sucaldito for allegedly being in the habit of sharply criticizing his noontime show Wowowee. Like helpless PCOS machines forced to participate in a nationwide bid for power, noontime televiewers were helplessly enthralled by Revillame’s bid for rightness [...]
