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)

 My 2 Mommies (2018) Review Movies | Philippines

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

An accidental affair leads to an extraordinary story of a unique family set up where the two characters play mother to the same child.

Special Movies: Solenn Heussaff, Paolo Ballesteros, Maricel Soriano, Joem Bascon, Marcus Cabais, Diane Medina

Country : Philippines

Genre : Comedy ,Romance

Production Co : Largavista Entertainment, Regal Entertainment

Paolo Ballesteros in ‘My 2 Mommies’ proves without a doubt that he is a bankable actor on the big screen. In this movie, he can make you laugh so hard your stomach starts to hurt. He can get you to understand where he is coming from. He can get you to empathize with his character. His acting certainly translates well on the big screen.

That is how brilliant an actor Paolo Ballesteros is!

I think one has to respect Paolo’s acting chops. For him to be that funny, silly, and wacky takes tons of talent and intrepid guts because comedy is not for everyone simply for the reason it is difficult to pull off being funny without coming out forced, trying hard, and downright stupid.

Solenn Heussaff proves to be a very effective actress, both in drama and comedy. By nature, Solenn Heussaff being a feisty, spunky, and adventurous person, she can switch gears effortlessly and never appears she is “acting”. By far, ‘My 2 Mommies’ is her most significant movie role. I see her being tapped more often to give strong performances as she shows in this movie.

In general, the whole main cast of ‘My 2 Mommies’ is good in their respective roles because one can sense they knew where to be, what to say, and when to make their presence felt in the movie. That fact can be credited to director Eric Quizon for making the cast operate and work like a well-oiled machine without breakdowns and hiccups. I can tell there were not a lot of retakes in any of the scenes of the movie.

“The Diamond Star” Maricel Soriano is a perfect fit to play the role of Paolo Ballesteros’ mom and their onscreen chemistry was clearly evident. Although she had limited onscreen time, that fact alone got the moviegoers in attendance to cheer for her each time she had a scene. She is still one of the most beloved veteran actresses around.

So far, this is Paolo Ballesteros’ best role to date since his 2016 stint as Trisha in the critically-acclaimed “Die Beautiful”. He is the perfect fit for the role, and he manages to carry the weight of the entire film from start to finish. Solenn Heussaff’s character is a direct opposite of Paolo’s: while Manu spoils the child with gifts and treats, Monique, together with her husband (Billy Ray Gallion) tries to discipline him. Solenn manages to make her character believable enough and not too over the top, keeping them grounded in reality. Child actor Marcus Cabais is a big revelation in the film. His acting was on point from start to finish. He was able to keep up with the grown-up actors he’s working with and looks very comfortable in the role. Joem Bascon was quite fun to watch because he was very convincing as Paolo’s lover here. Of course, Ms. Maricel Soriano deserves some applause for her wacky portrayal of Paolo’s aunt. She was the cherry on top of this film and she adds more reason for moviegoers to see the movie in cinemas.

n the role. Joem Bascon was quite fun to watch because he was very convincing as Paolo’s lover here. Of course, Ms. Maricel Soriano deserves some applause for her wacky portrayal of Paolo’s aunt. She was the cherry on top of this film and she adds more reason for moviegoers to see the movie in cinemas.

Regal Film’s “My 2 Mommies” is one movie full of hearts and laughs. It’s an enjoyable family comedy that everyone will surely appreciate for its heartwarming story and effective humor. 

I recommend watching this movie but be strongly advised that kids cannot watch this unsupervised and without a parent or trusted guardian by their side because some words and scenes do need explaining to them.

Overall, ‘My 2 Mommies’ is enjoyable, amusing, hysterically funny, charming. And the movie does have a lot of heart, too.

Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes (transl. The Two Mrs. Reyeses) is a Philippine comedy film starring Angelica Panganiban and Judy Ann Santos.The film is directed by Jun Robles Lana and is produced by Star Cinema, Quantum Films and IdeaFirst Company.

The film is Star Cinema's opening salvo for 2018 and will be the first movie to pair Santos with Panganiban whom she last worked with in the 2001 soap opera Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka. It also marks the reunion of the original Mara Clara stars, Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes

The film introduces the characters of Santos and Panganiban, a pair of devoted wives who find their husbands to be in a secret, gay relationship. 

Ang Dalawang Mrs Reyes’ – Synopsis

Judy Ann Santos and Angelica Panganiban play as devoted wives who got cheated on by their husbands who turn out to be gay. With their combined forces, they will make sure their exes don’t get what they took away from them: a happy ending. JC de Vera and Joross Gamboa play as their husbands with Gladys Reyes and Carmi Martin as the crazy women surrounding them.

Ang Dalawang Mrs Reyes’ – Review

So, I am a little late reviewing ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs Reyes’ but I couldn’t just let it pass. To begin with, I am still a novice to the Filipino movie or drama industry but I am so excited by this movie! I have seen the trailer and the movie seemed quirky and funny and after watching the movie it was SO MUCH MORE! Seriously, I can’t even begin to express in words how great this movie was!

The Story

The story is about two women, two men and 3 couples! How? Because the men leave the women to get married together~

Basically, the story revolves around the two women, Lianne Reyes (Judy Ann Santos) and Cindy Reyes (Angelica Panganiban), who have been abandoned by their respective husbands, Felix Reyes (JC de Vera) and Gary Reyes (Joross Gamboa), to get married to each other in Taiwan. When the wives find out, their hunt down each other and concoct a plan to stalk their husbands and stop them from getting married so that they also are unhappy.

The premise of the story does seem overdone and commonplace but the director Jun Robles Lana are genius-ly put the entire story together to come out as fresh, exciting, hilarious and humane at the same time. The movie surely tugs at your heart and also gets you rolling on the floor.

This is not your typical wronged-wife revenge plot or a typical LGBTQ stereotype. This movie has a lot of levels of depth. All the characters are shown as humans who can make mistakes. Also, the characters are shown reflecting on their actions when they realize that they were not just ‘right’.

This movie, according to me, is not even a pro-queer movie. It is just a movie which shows the vulnerability of a human being and how queer or straight to whatever one identifies with, first of all, you are a human being capable of making mistakes.

Another remarkable part of the movie is that the wives who have been left by their gay husbands are not against them being gay but are just trying to work through and understand what is happening to them with their husbands. The wives just needed some time to understand and accept the realities of their husbands instead of being dumped out of the blue and finding out the next second that without even finalizing a divorce, their husbands are already off to get married. The movie delves deep into the vulnerability of a human being on several levels. Even the gay husbands are not let-off the hook scotch-free but made to reflect on their actions.

The third most important point of the movie is the deployment of humour. It is a strong yet subtle humour which is at times dark and sarcastic but will keep you laughing throughout the movie. Some of the most serious scenes in the movie are flawlessly fitted with a comic ending. Yet, this movie does not have a derogatory punchline which I really appreciated and approved. At times, I feel that through jokes and comedy skits, some serious issues get overlooked to made to look pointless which subconsciously sits in the minds of people and affects their thinking. This is why I feel that jokes targeted at particular stereotypes or malpractices or racial groups or other such humour should not be supported. Jun Lana brings to screen a non-slapstick comedy which reaches far deeper levels than you think is possible in a comedy movie.

Genre : Drama

Production Co : Star Cinema – ABS-CBN Film Productions, Spring Films, Regal Entertainment

#NorthernLightsAJourneytoLovemoviereview

Northern Lights: A Journey to Love is a 2017 Filipino drama film directed by Dondon S. Santos and written by Onay Sales that stars Piolo Pascual, Yen Santos, and Raikko Mateo. The film is a collaboration between Regal Entertainment, Star Cinema, and Spring Films. The film's executive producers were Lily Monteverde, Roselle Monteverde, Charo Santos-Concio, Malou Santos, Piolo Pascual, Joyce Bernal, and Erickson Raymundo.

The film was released on March 29, 2017.

Charlie Sr. (Piolo Pascual) is a Filipino immigrant in Alaska who is living a carefree life. His life suddenly changes when he is tasked to take care of his estranged son, Charlie Jr. (Raikko Mateo), whom he had left behind in the Philippines. As he struggles to become a real father to his son, Charlie crosses paths with Angel (Yen Santos), a quirky Filipina who went to Alaska to find her lost mother. 

Before you head to theaters to see it, here are a few things about the movie you need to know. 

1. The movie was originally called Once In A Lifetime, but it was eventually changed to Northern Lights.

"We really wanted [the title] Northern Lights because it speaks a lot about the whole milieu in the story of the film," Piolo said. "Pero iyon nga po, dahil hindi nga nagkasundo sa title. You're talking about 3 productions that had to agree on kung ano yung may mas punch na title, so we all agreed na mas maganda gamitin yung Northern Lights."

(But yeah, we couldn't agree on the title. You're talking about 3 productions that had to agree on a title that had more of a punch, so we all agreed that it would be better to use Northern Lights.)

The movie was produced by 3 production companines: Spring Films, Star Cinema, and Regal Entertainment. 

2. The film was shot in New Zealand and Alaska.

The cast and crew went to New Zealand to film a big part of the movie. Director Dondon Santos, meanwhile, went to Alaska to shoot some additional footage to capture the tituar northern lights, as it was summer in Alaska when they started to film.

3. This is Yen's first movie and the first time Piolo and Yen have teamed up.

In an interview after the press conference on March 1, Piolo said he enjoyed working with Yen. 

"Yen [is] refreshing. This is her first film," said Piolo. Yen's previous projects have been TV shows like Magpahanggang Wakas and Pure Love. Yen gained attention after appearing on Pinoy Big Brother: Teen Clash in 2010.

"Na-draw ako sa energy niya, sa excitement niya, yung pag-anticipate niya doon sa mga eksena niya. Nag-enjoy ako. Syempre, being in the business for quite sometime already, naghahanap ka din ng inspiration. So she’s one of my inspirations," he said.

(I was drawn into her energy, her excitement, her anticipation of her scenes. I enjoyed it. Of course, being in the business for some time already, you look for inspiration. So she's one of my inspirations.)

Yen, on the other hand, said she couldn't help but feel "kilig" about being paired up with Piolo. At the press conference, she was even laughed when asked what she felt about being paired up with Piolo.

"Quotang-quota na po ako. Tapos na yung laban," she joked.

"Sobrang thankful ako and naniniwala po naman ako na everything happens for a reason, kung bakit po ako yung napili. Siguro ang makakasagot niyan si direk [Dondon Santos]," she said.

(I'm really thankful and I believe everything happens for a reason, when it comes to why I was chosen. I guess the one who can answer that would be director [Dondon Santos].)

4. The movie's plot was inspired by father-son relationships.

On March 20, Piolo was asked if he could relate to the storyline, since he didn't live with his son Iñigo for a long time. Now at 19 years old, Iñigo is following in his dad's footsteps in showbiz.

Piolo said the film was very close to his heart because he and Iñigo went through some of the issues tackled in the film.

"It was so close to home because ayoko gamitin yung anak ko for promo. Ayoko magkaroon ako ng conflict with my real son... Hindi lang naman ako yung nakaranas ng ganitong experience, but I'm sure a lot of fathers, or mothers for that matter, would not want to be in my shoes, to experience something like this. Mahirap, pero iyon yung sinasalamin ng pelikula and you have to cope with that and you have to deal with a conflict like this, na mas mahirap pa, especially napanood nila, nalaman na nila bakit pumunta yung bata sa Alaska," he said. 

(It was so close to home because I really don't want to use my son for promotions. I don't want to have conflict with my real son... I'm not the only one who went through this kind of experience, but I'm sure a lot of fathers, or mothers for that matter, would not want to be in my shoes, to experience something like this. It's hard but the movie mirrors that, and you have to cope with that and you have to deal wth a conflict like this, which is even more difficult, especially when they watch, they already know why the kid went to Alaska.)
