Kinsenas, katapusan Vivamax : Review Movie | Joko Diaz, Ayanna Misola, Jamilla Obispo

Kinsenas, katapusan

A man falls for his daughter's classmate and they get entangled in a steamy affair. When their sexual desire becomes obsession, things turn crazy.

Director : G.B. Sampedro

Stars : Joko Diaz, Ayanna Misola, Jamilla Obispo

Conrado Alonzo (Joko Diaz) is a happily married family man and big real estate entrepreneur. One day, his high school-aged daughter Ana (Madelaine Red) introduces him to his new classmate, Beth (Ayanna Misola). Beth immediately began texting Conrado, cajoling him with scathing messages and nude pictures. Soon they will have arrangements to see each other every 15th and 30th of every month for their secret sexual encounters.

The main plot is pretty thin, filled with several sexual encounters between a very naked Beth and a fully clothed Conrado. Director GB Sampedro fills the broadcast time with various other sex scenes. In addition to his voluptuous wife Melba (Jamilla Obispo), Conrado will also have some dalliance faux pas with his employee Karen (Janelle Tee). Passionate Beth also engages in intimate lesbian canoodling with her friend Carla (Angela Morena).

Her acting isn't really something to talk about. Joko Diaz's character, Conrado, is the one to seduce, but not so much for him to give up that there isn't much mental torment. Ayanna Misola is only 20 years old in real life, because she looks more mature than that with all that makeup. Being only in his second film, he still hasn't been able to take advantage of the psychological aspects of his character.

Some of Joko Diaz's contemporaries in the 90s we can see here, such as Kier Legaspi (as Conrado's partner, Mike), Jojo Abellana (as Conrado's star salesman, Miguel), Jao Mapa (as Beth's father) and even Jeric Raval ( as a murder victim in the film). opening scene). Much of the time and dialogue focuses on Conrado's faithful, strict spinster secretary Sita (Marissa Sanchez), but this character isn't really going anywhere.

Underlying all the sex scenes are serious mental health issues that are driving Beth to hell. He wasn't too careful that he took pills for depression. There are recurring flashbacks to certain highly traumatic events in his past that will haunt him for the rest of his life. There isn't much psychological explanation for Conrado's inability to resist having an affair with a minor, perhaps suggesting that men are naturally weak like that.

Watch ' Siklo | NEW Movie 2022 | Tagalog PH

Siklo (2022)

A pastor’s mistress and a delivery rider get engaged in a steamy affair. When their secrets are revealed, they have to face the consequences.

Roman Perez Jr.

Vince Rillon, Christine Bermas, Joko Diaz, Alma Moreno, Rob Guinto, Ayanna Misola

It does not surprise that Vivamax’s first feature of the year is yet another semi-erotic film that features practically unknown stars.

"Siklo" had some sense of story within it. There's elements about cultism, politics, corruption, and even a basic look into the lives and plights of delivery riders. But this movie was severely hampered by focusing half of the time on its more sensual side (like most VivaMax releases). Without proper character development, the surprise twists and turns in its climactic end all fall flat in a sloppy and floppy finish of what could have been.

A delivery rider (Vince Rillon) struggles to make ends meet and is forced to transfer to a new delivery app called "Siklo". Soon after, he receives constant bookings from a mysterious yet beautiful girl (Christine Bermas). The two instantly develop a friendship and the rider discovers that the girl is a trapped as a mistress of a powerful man (Joko Diaz). Can he, a simple deliver rider, help end the cycle of abuse that surrounds her?

The first scene of "Siklo" confounds us until now. It sets up our main character (played by Vince Rillon) as thief and as a scumbag of a delivery rider and yet the film wants us to root for him? This happens countless times within the film wherein you really don't know who is good or who is bad. This "grey area" is usually a good thing but in "Siklo", it's not because it was caused by the film's lack of story or character development. Most of this is rooted in the film's need to push sex scene after sex scene. Half of the film are sex scenes and any momentum that could have gone to character development doesn't happen because of this. We barely get to know anyone in the film including our lead characters. In fact, Ayanna Misola's character (Vince Rillon's pregnant girlfriend) could have been completely removed from the film and the narrative would have been the same or even better. The film tries to ramp things up in its climax with it throwing twist after twist at the audience. But without any backbone to these surprises, these were simply ineffective and laughable by the time they are revealed. On the acting front, we found Vince Rillon's and Joko Diaz's performances as the best of the bunch but these were passable at best. We do hope that this is a sign that the heaping mess of a "cycle" for VivaMax might be ending. We deserve better films and while sex won't go away, we need a balance of both story and bold which "Siklo" had some semblance of. While "Siklo" isn't really the biggest step forward in the right direction, it's a small step nonetheless.

Setting the story in a fictitious cult called "Samahan ng mga Alagad ni Amang" is quite provocative. The juicy lines at the film's eventful third act was campy and over-the-top as only Alma Moreno and Joonee Gamboa could deliver them, totally showing their neophyte co-stars how it should be done. This was an auspicious first feature of the new year for Vivamax, which now finally features a parental control PIN for their films with mature content.

Para sa Broken Hearted | For the Broken Hearted | Review Movies

Para Sa Broken Hearted | Review Movies

Stars : Yassi Pressman , Sam Concepcion , Louise de los Reyes , Shy Carlos , Marco Gumabao , Katya Santos , Andrea Del Rosario .

Country : Philippines

Production Co : Viva Films

Director : Digo Ricio

It has three different stories about heartbreak and happy endings acceptance, moving on and the courage to learn to love again.

Para sa Broken Hearted (transl. For the Broken Hearted) is a 2018 Filipino drama film written and directed by Digo Ricio, starring Yassi Pressman, Sam Concepcion, Marco Gumabao, Louise delos Reyes and Shy Carlos. The film was produced by Viva Films and it was released in the Philippines on 3 October 2018.

If ever you seek validation that you’re not alone with the grief your dealing with, Digo Ricio’s ‘Para sa Broken Hearted’ is there to sob with you.

Para sa Broken Hearted (For The Broken Hearted) kicks off with a montage of random people coping with the anguish of heartbreak – in its background, After 5’s cover version of ‘Pers Lab’ is played for satirical purposes. It promises to be an ode for all the fallen soldiers of love, but with it comes an implicit caveat: this film may reopen old wounds.

The title might feel alienating for those who are inexperienced, but come to think of it, heartbreak comes in different forms right? The film/source material, however, misses the opportunity to explore that facet and restricts the scope to romantic love. Anyway, if you’re a masochist who finds gratification in this form of mild torture, or simply a casual viewer who has not yet reached the quota for ‘hugot’ films this year, feel free to embrace this and be comforted to know that it all ends with a silver lining.

Set in a bus station – a metaphorical place of limbo for all the broken hearts waiting to get fixed – two kindred souls, Jackie (Shy Carlos) and Kath (Louise delos Reyes) quickly befriend each other and share their stories of heartbreak. This film does not bog you down with a somber tone throughout. In fact, the first half of it is much lighter. Jackie’s story is the most accessible as it touches on the subject of puppy love. A woman who’s a firm believer of the philosophy “If you want something, go get it,” she does everything to win the affection of her crush RJ (Marco Gumabao). The feels are all too familiar because we’ve been there before – the butterflies that starts circling in your stomach once you receive a reply from your crush or the squashing pain that you have to endure upon seeing him/her with another potential lover. To hook you in, director Digo Ricio employs escapist elements like dance numbers as an extreme visualization of Jackie’s emotions.

On the other hand, I was left frowning most of the time on Kath’s story. Founded on an unrealistic meet cute, the heartbroken girl embarks on a road trip with another heartbroken boy Dan (Sam Concepcion) who she acquaints in one fateful night. More unrealistic plot points (and some plot holes that I can’t discuss) come into play – by then the script feels sloppy because it could’ve easily fixed these narrative stretches by making up plot devices. Also, without spoiling anything, Dan’s motivation seems inconsistent while Kath’s basis of grief in the present feels shallow.

Though pulled out of thin air, the most melodramatic of all is Dan’s ‘other’ story. This one operates in a timeline before she meets Kath. During his long hair phase, Dan is a peerless nobody who gets noticed by a popular girl named Shalee (Yassi Pressman). They develop feelings for each other and eventually change each’s life perspective for the better. However, unforeseen circumstances causes them to part ways, leading Dan to the spot where he first meets Kath.

What easily sets this film apart from the current landscape of romance genre is its retrospective style of narrative. Taken individually, the stories are redundant cookie-cutters of its genre but with Ricio’s dynamic direction, along with an aesthetically pleasing cinematography, these seemingly disparate anthologies tie into a neat, overarching structure. The world is filled with broken hearts and one way or another, Para sa Broken Hearted shows that they’re all related in the grand scheme of things.

But the film has its own share of faults too. It banks so much on familiarity that sometimes viewers will feel for the characters due to the universality of emotions in display and not necessarily because the film does a remarkable job in fleshing out the stories. It’s kind of a cheat code that the film uses to get away with its shortcomings. Another common problem for tricky ensemble pieces like this is the tendency to paint one-dimensional characters. Although he’s more of a supporting character, RJ has the thinnest characterization here.

The performances are good but the script’s preference to ‘hugot’ driven dialogues get in the way of the actors’ authenticity. The film could have opted for a more vernacular approach since it has already a great arsenal of songs to begin with – Janine Teñoso’s ‘Ang Awit Natin’ contributes much to the film’s catharsis. Having said that, it’s still a decent work considering that there are far worse things that this film successfully avoids.

Para sa Broken Hearted is more interested in evoking general emotions of elation, sadness, grief, etc. rather than telling remarkable and heartfelt stories. Ricio has plenty of personal touches here to make it look inspired but the style occasionally overpowers the substance. Nevertheless, it still delivers to its title’s promise. The film finds redemption in Marcelo Santos III’s quote dropped as a voice over realization by one of the characters, “Life is a game. Some will win. Some will lose. But in the end, everyone learns.” I guess that’s the biggest takeaway here, even if it’s not entirely earned.

Miss Granny

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

In the Philippine remake of the 2014 South Korean film of the same name, an elderly woman in her 70s suddenly finds herself to be in her 20s after having her picture taken in a mysterious photo studio.

Special Movies: Sarah Geronimo, James Reid, Xian Lim, Nova Villa, Boboy Garovillo, Nonie Buencamino

Country : Philippines

Genre : Comedy, Drama

Production Co : Viva Films, N² Productions

Miss Granny is a 2018 Filipino comedy-drama film based on the South Korean film of the same name. Directed by Joyce E. Bernal, the film stars Sarah Geronimo, James Reid, Xian Lim and Nova Villa. The film was released by Viva Films on August 22, 2018, and was nominated for three FAMAS Awards including "Best Actress" for Sarah Geronimo and "Best Original Song" for Isa Pang Araw. It was the second most talked about Filipino film of 2018 on Twitter, The Hows of Us. Geronimo received the "Best Actress" award at the 35th PMPC Star Awards for Film, while Villa received the "Film Supporting Actress of the Year" award at the 50th GMMSF Entertainment Box Office Awards. The film is currently available for streaming on Netflix in the Philippines.

The story revolves around Feliza "Fely" Malabaño (Nova Villa), a widow who works in a carinderia along with her close friend Bert (Boboy Garovillo), who grew up working for Fely since he was a young boy. Fely is constantly teased by Lulu (Marissa Delgado) for her closeness to Bert. Fely tends to berate her daughter-in-law Angie (Lotlot De Leon) for many things, including Angie's sinigang. Despite her treatment of Angie, she cares deeply for her son Ramoncito (Nonie Buencamino) and for her grandchildren, Jeboy (James Reid) and Hana (Ataska Mercado).

One day, Angie collapses due to stress, which she blames on her mother-in-law. The doctor then recommends that they keep Angie's environment stress-free, to which Ramon suggests that Fely, Angie's stress trigger, should stay in a nursing home. Fely overhears the family's discussion and becomes upset, but then is invited by Jeboy to lunch. As she leaves to meet him, she comes across the Forever Young Photo Studio and meets a photographer (Jojit Lorenzo) who offers to take a free portrait photo of her. Afterwards, as she alights on a bus, Fely scolds three passengers for being too noisy. During the argument, Fely is horrified when she catches her reflection in one of the rowdy passenger's sunglasses and sees that she has somehow transformed into her younger self (Sarah Geronimo). Fely then poses as Odrey de Leon while she stays at an apartment owned by Bert. Eventually, she becomes involved in her grandson's band, becoming their lead singer, inadvertently changing their focus from metal to romantic ballads.

Fely sings a song during one of the band's performances, telling the story of her past. She lost her husband, a Navy sailor, when he died during his service, and moved to Manila to make a living for her son Ramoncito. At one point, Ramoncito becomes so ill that he is close to death, but is saved by a stranger who helps them through their tough time. During one of the band's performances, Fely, posing as Odrey, is approached by a musical talent scout named Lorenz (Xian Lim) in her own carinderia, offering a chance for the band to launch in the mainstream.

Fely's identity is discovered by Bert after he discovers the dentures he gave to her as a present among Odrey's possessions, while looking for Fely with Ramoncito. After Lulu dies, Odrey is confronted with their mortality as elderly people. After she gets a minor cut on her foot before a recording session, Bert sees her youthful skin return to its wrinkled state, a sign that she is reverting into her correct age. Bert treats her cut, but is confronted by Bert's daughter Minnie (Kim Molina), who forces Fely/Odrey to leave the apartment, mistakenly assuming that she was romantically involved with her father. She stays at Lorenz's place, where they bond over retro music. Jeboy becomes upset over Lorenz's closeness to Fely/Odrey, and she realizes that he might be romantically interested in her. She rebuffs him, as Jeboy has no idea that Fely/Odrey is his grandmother.

During the Summerslam Concert, Lorenz tells the band that they must perform without Jeboy, as he was hit by a car on his way to the venue and is currently in critical condition. Fely/Odrey initially refuses, but she finally performs to keep Jeboy's band in the lineup. At the hospital with Bert and Ramoncito, who has finally found out about her identity, Fely/Odrey decides to donate blood for Jeboy, despite Bert warning her that the effects could be irreversible. Ramoncito gives her the choice to leave and live the life that she wanted, on the condition that she tries to make a better life for herself than the one she had with him and his absent father. Fely/Odrey tearfully tells him that she will always choose the life she had lived as his mother, and they hug. After this, Fely/Odrey donates her blood for her grandson, and transforms back to her normal, elderly self.

After Jeboy's recovery, Fely and her family watch her grandson's concert with Hana as the band's new vocalist. Later, Fely is approached by a mysterious man on a motorcycle (Sam Concepcion), who is revealed to be Bert after he reverted into his younger self with the help of the Forever Young Photo Studio. He gives her a bouquet of flowers, and Fely and Bert ride off. Sourch By : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Granny_(2018_film)

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

Joko is a boy trying to help his family survive, while Zoey is a girl hoping to prove herself to the world. Opportunity rises when Sasha is looking to hire a new personal assistant. Just one catch - they have to compete against each other! Will their own goals prevail, or will they set aside their differences and find true happiness and love in the end?

Special Movies: Kris Aquino, Joshua Garcia, Julia Barretto, Ronaldo Valdez, John Estrada, Al Tantay

'I Love You, Hater' is still a creature of formula but its charm makes it hard to hate

There is one scene in Giselle Andres’ I Love You, Hater that makes the film almost worth all of its very many problems.

Noteworthy for several reasons

Zoey (Julia Barretto), clearly ecstatic, is in front of Joko (Joshua Garcia), her rival of several weeks for the position of assistant to media magnate Sasha (Kris Aquino).

She tells Joko of a sacrifice (which involved her lying to Sasha) and it weirdly does not result in the loving gratitude that she might have expected. Joko, dumbfounded because he knows how Zoey values honesty, begs her to tell him why she did it.

Out of perhaps the whole absurdity and foolishness of her feelings, Zoey starts to cry and confesses of her love for him despite knowing that he will never love her back because he is gay.

However, Joko is not gay.

He has been pretending to be gay just to have a stab at the lucrative job under Sasha. He also loves Zoey, and admits it, along with the fact that his being gay is all a ruse. Zoey doesn’t take it lightly, and her tears of self-pity quickly turn into tears of rage because of the betrayal of someone she has gotten to love to the point of embarrassing herself.

The scene is noteworthy for several reasons.

The scene allows Barretto, who has proven herself in previous films as a very fine actress, an opportunity to churn out a nuanced performance, one that is understanding of the subtle differences of various emotions conveyed by the act of crying.

Barretto’s performance however wouldn’t have been possible if the narrative, which is unabashedly convoluted right from the get go, didn’t unspool so relentlessly to reach such an emotionally affecting and surprisingly authentic confrontation between the two stunted lovers.

At least at that point of the movie, it works.

It almost seemed that its roundabout way of tackling the value of truth within the realm of relationships, profession, and even sexuality makes complete sense. It almost seemed that some of its brushes with insensitivity when it comes to portraying gays or their manners of coming out had some more reason to them than an attempt at amplifying either drama or comedy, which the film commits to quite feverously. The film is funny when it needs to be. It shifts to romance or drama with ease and mechanicality.

In fact, it almost seemed that the film was making a real statement and not just some palatable moralism that has always been tied to these commercial love stories.

There certainly are surprising loose ends that provoke. Sideplots, like the ones involving Zoey’s estranged father or Sasha’s ex-husband, are never granted the resolutions expected from rom-coms that ambition happy endings for everyone.

This can be interpreted to point to a more progressive direction for the genre considering that the repercussions of the loose ends are to portray women realizing their worth despite the neglect of the men in their lives.

I Love You, Hater is still a creature of formula.

It avoids cutting deeper than it should. It dwells on easily recognizable dilemmas and all the loud feelings that come with them. This isn’t bad at all, but its being simplistic does lead to several problems, most especially if its conceit is grounded on issues that require a little bit more sensitivity.

Oozing with charm

With all its problems, I Love You, Hater is a film that is hard to love.

Thankfully, it is also oozing with charm, making it a film that is harder to hate.

Single/Single: Love Is Not Enough (2018) Review Movies | Shaina Magdayao, Matteo Guidicelli

Single/Single: Love Is Not Enough (2018) Review Movies

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

It picks up where the series left off in its final episode as the relationship of Joee and Joey moves on to the next level. Joee is about to give birth while Joey remains in love with her and tries to become a responsible foster father.

Special Movies: Shaina Magdayao, Matteo Guidicelli, Cherie Gil, Ricky Davao, Anna Luna, Brian Matthew Sy

Country : Philippines

Genre : Romance, Drama

Production Co : Cinema One Originals, Philippine Star, Star Cinema – ABS-CBN Film Productions

It's evident that Veronica Velasco and Pablo Biglang-awa’s Single/Single: Love is Not Enough is quite a burdened film.

The series, directed by Pepe Diokno, written by Lilit Reyes, and co-produced by Philippine Star, taps on the pervading attitudes of millennials who are slowly being introduced to adulthood, where the gnawing need for work and money invade on their sense of generational privilege.

The show makes a lot of sense. It is very relatable, with its characters echoing work, life, and romance-related dilemmas that rarely feel artificial. Even its profit-making endeavors as shown by the several ad placements for condominium units and life insurance packages gel seamlessly with its themes.

Love is Not Enough immediately hinges its narrative on the issue that ends the show.

In a grand gesture of unconditional love, Joey (Matteo Guidicelli) declares that he wants to be with former housemate Joee (Shaina Magdayao) despite her being pregnant with another man’s baby. The film, still written by Reyes but now with the help of Jinky Laurel, focuses on the challenges of motherhood under such a unique domestic setting.

The film does offer invaluable insights on a situation that while not exactly endemic to the specific generation that Single/Single touches on is germane to it.

The more relaxed societal attitudes towards unconventional relationships allow Velasco and Biglang-awa a certain leeway to remove societal pressures from the equation and concentrate on more personal issues. For example, the emasculating effect of Joey’s not being able to properly provide in the face of another option for Joee to simply rely on her baby’s father (JC Santos) is a nice addition to the gamut of ideas that the Single/Single storyline has already introduced about the generation.

The Significant Other Movie Tagalog Romance | Lovi Poe, Tom Rodriguez, Erich Gonzales

The Significant Other (2018) The Significant Other Movie Tagalog Romance

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

Directed by Joel Lamangan, “The Significant Other” tells the age-old tale of a cheating husband, in this case played by Tom Rodriguez (Edward), married to Lovi Poe’s Maxene - a top model who decided to temporarily walk away from her career to focus on her own family. Her eagerness to return back to the limelight prompted her husband to cheat with Erich Gonzales’ Nicole.

Distributed by Star Cinema, it’s advertised as a steamy love story, but in reality, it doesn’t have a strong romantic through-line to be called as such.But all hell breaks lose when they realize that they are in love with the same man (Tom Rodriguez).

Special Movies: Lovi Poe, Tom Rodriguez, Erich Gonzales

Country : Philippines

Genre : Drama, Romance

Production Co : Star Cinema – ABS-CBN Film Productions

The lie that Maxene created backs fire at her as her husband Edward(Tom) fell in love with Nicole thinking he is single the two commits to each other not knowing that She is bound to become a mistress.

Will Maxene be able to bring her family back together? or will Edward choose Nicole?

The Significant Other is like any other mistress/infidelity movie that we saw before, the plot, the story line is almost similar to other movies of the same genre, but what separated it from the rest is the performance of the actors specially with Lovi Poe and Erich Gonzales.

I've watched several movies of Lovi Poe and I must say that her performance in this movie is one of her best or I should say this is her best performance I've seen. I must say that I am agreeing to her that portraying the role of the wife is more difficult, but she was able to deliver it excellently.

Erich on the other hand was able to play with her character, she was able to make the character innocent and naughty at the same time, so far this is her most daring performance.

The movie got some raunchy and wild love scenes that surprised me because I didn't expected it to be that way though I must commend Lovi, Tom, and Erich for doing such intimate scenes masterfully and still with taste and not going over board, also kudos to Direk Joel for that well executed love scenes in the movie.

Mama’s Girl (2018)

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

Young girl learns life lessons from loving mother.

Special Movies: Sofia Andres, Diego Loyzaga, Jameson Blake, Sylvia Sanchez, Yana Asistio, Heaven Peralejo

Country : Philippines

Genre : Drama

Production Co : Regal Entertainment

Mama's Girl is a 2018 Philippine drama film directed by Connie Macatuno and written by Gina Marissa Tagasa. It stars Sofia Andres, Diego Loyzaga, Heaven Peralejo, Karen Reyes, Jameson Blake, Sylvia Sanchez,Yana Asistio, Arlene Muhlach, Alora Sasam and Afi Africa, among others. It is produced by Regal Entertainment. It is about Abby, an ambitious millennial coming out into the world with the help of her single mother, Mina, an entrepreneur.

Young girl learns life lessons from loving mother.

It tells the story of a mother and daughter who encounters struggles and conflicts in their relationship. It brings you to journey to love, passion, compassion, commitment and forgiveness.

Mama's Girl is a heartwarming tale of mother and daughter that shows unconditional love to each other. A movie that will definitely touch your heart and make you cry. Sylvia Sanchez delivers a touching performance with a touch of coolness as mother. Sofia Andres and Sylvia Sanchez has a right chemistry to portray as daughter and mother. Mama's Girl reflects modern family life and situations where a millennial daughter and mother canfind themselves in.

It has a good tight story which manages to be witty and affecting. The film is a good vehicle to launched Sofia Andres and Diego Loyzaga (SoFiego) as love team in the film. They bring kilig and young vibes in the film. Jameson Blake is effective as a third wheel to SoFiego. So if you want to bond with your mom or your family this movie is a perfect treat. A wonderful heart warming film with inspiring story.

1. For a story about motherly love, there was too much time spent on the landian between Abbypotpot and best friend Nico (Diego Loyzaga). He kept calling her Budz and I really thought it was short for Budjoy because they were basically playing the reversed roles of Ned and Budjoy in Labs Kita Okay Ka Lang?. Unfortunately, I was rooting for Zak the entire time.

2. While other mothers would ask their kids not to cry upon their death, Mama Mina’s loving advice to Abbypotpot was “Hindi pa ako patay. Tipirin mo na lang ang mga luha mo sa libing ko.” Eek!

3. Sofia’s a lovely girl, but the abundance of her pink blush here gave new meaning to pumuputok. At least she looked very much like a #VavaengMarangal.

4. Upon reading the words “Ang pagluluto ay parang pagmamahal. Kelangan bantayan at kapag hindi ka marunong pumili ng mga sangkap, lahat mababalewala”, Abbypotpot magically turned into a chef that could save their restaurant business. Nahiya bigla ang lahat ng Culinary Arts students.

Shine (Maymay Entrata), is a high-spirited girl who will do anything for the sake of her family. When his nephew got sick, Shine is forced to join a group of pickpockets to earn some quick cash for the hospital bills. One of his victims is Luke (Edward Barber), a balikbayan who is forced to live with her estranged mother (Carmi Martin). Shine didn't know that Luke is staying next door and some various situations will give them the chance to know each other.

Another new love team is brought to the big screen to face the test if they could run their own show. I've been a fan of Mayward since their PBB days, and actually I was excited when the news came up that they will headline their own film. However, the big question is - are they both ready to deliver to the fans who are excited to see Loving in Tandem?

Loving in Tandem has the charm and entertainment factor of the usual romantic comedy formula. It had some good laughs, charismatic cast and a lot of genuine "kilig moments" mostly coming from the lead stars. The thing is, Loving in Tandem has a baffling material which has a lot of problems revolving around the story. It should been better if it just took a simpler route to make it more intact.

The good thing is that the cast answers to the call and made the film energetic and less problematic at times. They managed to provide the energy it needed to keep it afloat throughout the entire film. Maymay Entrata improved a lot since her last acting task at the PBB house and really stepped up to play his A-game. You can really feel the authenticity of her acting as you see into her eyes that what she does on camera is all natural part of her personality. Edward Barbers is your typical boy next door type of guy. He is great playing as Luke and really handled his role well but needs to learn Tagalog in the long run. The supporting casts were terrific, especially Ryan Bang who managed to be the effective comedic relief throughout. The pair of Kisses Delavin and Marco Gallo are also a great addition but didn't have enough time.

Overall, Loving in Tandem is an enjoyable film and even with a thin material; the cast managed to make the film lively as possible. Both Mayward and Kissmarc can be a successful love team but needed a better material for them to showcase more of their talent.

List Of 10 Upcoming Philippines Films In 2021 | Tagalog Movies 2021

List Movie 10 Upcoming Philippines Films In 2021

It's actually weird compiling a film review in the current year 2021, in the year of the pandemic era.

The least amount of information that only I can include.

Even so, we are all still here. Everything keeps going, especially the film's release cycle. And even if 2021 is ready to be a weird year for cinema watching (or maybe even stranger than 2020), there are film titles that I will show you to read and of course to later watch in theaters or on film sites that you know.

Our most anticipated Filipino films (2021)

1 . Death of Nintendo

Probably my most anticipated film of the year, Death of Nintendo looks like a full-180 for Raya Martin, who’s known for darker, more experimental works like Autohystoria (2007), Independencia (2009) and How to Disappear Completely (2013).

Like his previous film, Smaller and Smaller Circles, this new coming-of-age drama is set in the 90’s, following a ragtag group of young’uns killing time during summer.

Interestingly, the film has made its Philippine premiere last year during the 2020 QCinema International Film Festival, so my fingers are crossed for a wider theatrical release this year.

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

The story takes us into the colorful pop-culture world of these four 13-year old friends, back in the days when video games were still a novelty. Mimaw and her friends Paolo, Kachi and Gilligan go on a journey of self-discovery together as they play games and wrestle with new dilemmas – puppy love, circumcision and other horror stories.

Special Movies: Kim Chloe Oquendo, Noel Comia Jr., John Vincent Servilla, Jigger Sementilla, Elijah Alejo, Cayden Williams

Release : 2020-02-22

Country : Philippines, United States of America

Genre : Comedy, Drama

Production Co : IndieFlip, Black Sheep

2. Lingua Franca

Though it made its Philippine premiere in 2019 and had its release in the US via Netflix in 2020, my hopes are high for a wider release of Isabel Sandoval’s Lingua Franca.

The film tells the story of an immigrant Filipina transwoman (played by Sandoval herself) who works as a caregiver for a Russian family in Brooklyn. We’ve covered this film in an episode of Pervision, where we went as far as calling it as one of the better films to have come out this year.

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

Olivia, an undocumented Filipina immigrant paranoid about deportation works as a caregiver to a Russian-Jewish grandmother in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY. When the man she’s secretly paying for a green card marriage backs out, she becomes involved with a slaughterhouse worker who is unaware that she’s a trans woman.

Special Movies: Isabel Sandoval, Lynn Cohen, Eamon Farren, Ivory Aquino, Lev Gorn, P.J. Boudousqué

A showbiz gossip show capitalizes on the incident and puts Katja further into the spotlight, vulnerable to public judgment and scrutiny eventually finding themselves at the center of a media circus that eventually results in a brutal and very public murder.

The movie is about the ruthless tendency of the entertainment industry to make a spectacle out of scandal and tragedy. It's about the lengths people would go, in order to satisfy the insatiable bloodlust of their audience.

10. Magic Temple

After last year’s Magikland, there’s a clear demand for Filipino sci-fi/fantasy adventure stories, which is why the Magic Temple remake comes at an opportune time.

Mikhail Red, director of Birdshot (2013) and Dead Kids (2019), has been tapped to remake the 1996 classic from Peque Gallaga and Lore Reyes for modern audiences. The film is well underway, with Star Cinema and Singapore’s Cre8 on board to produce.
