Review Movie of  : HUGAS : A Wanton Waste  | #Vivamax 

HUGAS

Ex-gang members and newlyweds Al and Liezl run away with a big bag of cash, but their ex-boss will go to the ends of the earth to find them.

Director : Roman Perez Jr.

Writer : Jon Red

Stars :  AJ Raval, Sean De Guzman, Jay Manalo

Al and Liezel were young members of the bank robbery gang of Boss Dencio. The two lovers wanted to get married and break away from the gang, One day, some of their gangmates were ambushed and killed by members of a rival gang. Dencio decided to show their activities down and left Al in charge of their spacious hideout. Wanting a change, Al decided to convert the warehouse into a car repair shop. 

We're barely two weeks into the new year and VivaMax is once again back to their old ways. It's title alone "Hugas" (or "Wash" in English) doesn't have any context to what we get in the film and it's a clear pun on sexy sounding words. It's an indication that VivaMax once again prioritizes sex over anything else on this film and you know what you'll get when you press that play button - nothing but a dumb film that overhypes its sexiness.

The movie started in a place where sexy women were washing cars. But no, this movie was not about a car wash at all. There were scenes of robbing money in a bank, but no, this was not a movie about money laundering as well. Ironically, this had to be the one Vivamax sex film where there was no prominent sex scene set in a shower or a pool. It was only at the very end, when Al delivered his final line when the title "Hugas" would make some sense.

Sean de Guzman is back in a lead role as Al, a former pest exterminator turned gang executioner. When he gets philosophical, he would talk about blindsides of various insects, as to presage a blindsiding that was going to happen to him later in the movie. However, there was no background info to show why it was easy it was for him to kill people, as it was for him to squeeze in a not-so-quickie with the bank teller in the cash room (no vault).

AJ Raval played it fearless this time as tough firearm-toting Liezel. But as was expected of her, she was also fearless in doffing off her clothes at a snap when she and Sean got into a huddle, which happened multiple times here. Matching AJ in the bosom-baring department was Cara Gonzales as Dianne, the girlfriend of Boss Dencio, played by Jay Manalo, the original Totoy Mola himself, who was a bit more modest now with age.

Familiar character actors play Dencio's gang members like Soliman Cruz (as the religious Boyong) and Bob Jbeili (as the stuttering James). Joko Diaz had a short appearance as Dencio's nemesis Dido, as the two discussed gang business and personal debts over a lunch of noodles. Director Roman Perez Jr. tried to inject some stylistic ideas in his shots, lighting and blocking.

 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.

 I Love You, Hater Movie Philippines

¨“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

Country : Philippines

Genre : Romance, Comedy

Production Co : Star Cinema – ABS-CBN Film Productions

'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.

"About Joanne, a woman who hires Gio as a sticker design. Their meeting instantly makes Gio fall in love with Joanne and he does everything he can to approach her, until they finally get close, but there are situations where they have to develop in their own way."

Love makes a person grow and develop

“A romantic film with a message and impression that is quite deep but with a fairly simple storytelling. Honestly, I don't like the way Gio and Joanne were introduced, indeed acquaintance with someone can go through anything, including at work, only they are very close here instantly.. Gio is the type of guy that if you want a girl, you have to get her, and Joanne is the kind of person that if you pay attention, she'll melt herself."

Mr. and Mrs. Cruz (2018) Tagalog Movies Romance | Viva Films, The IdeaFirst Company

Special Movies: JC Santos, Ryza Cenon, Yayo Aguila, Dennis Padilla, Dido De La Paz

Release : 2018-01-24

Country : Philippines

Genre : Drama, Romance

Production Co : Viva Films, The IdeaFirst Company

¨“Movie Synopsis¨“

The story of Raffy and Gela who find themselves taking off for Palawan to escape the not so great realities of their current lives and catch up on their respective me-time. But as fate would have it, they find themselves meeting and enjoying each other's company.

It's just the right mix of drama, comedy, romance, and beautiful island shots.

Raffy (JC Santos) and Gela (Ryza Cenon) meet on a trip to Palawan. They're both heartbroken solo travelers who end up in the same tour group. Because they share the same last name, they're mistaken for a married couple. When logistics problems arise, they find themselves sharing a room and spending their soul-searching vacation together.

The Short, Honest Plot

Mr. and Mrs. Cruz is a light, fun watch about getting over a broken heart.

The Main Actors And Where You Last Saw Them

JC Santos as Raffy

This theater actor-turned-TV-and-movie-star was last seen in the MMFF comedy Meant To Beh and the noontime teleserye Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin.

The story revolves around two complete strangers, Raffy and Gela, who take part in a group excursion in Palawan, each on their own. Their common, titular surname, though, has the rest of the group mistaking them for a married couple, with the two of them, eventually going along with it. Raffy is on a trip to remember and Gela on one to forget, and their past, “failed” relationships eventually bring the two closer together, even more so since they end up sharing the same room hotel. A number of visits in the beautiful sceneries of the area and an even larger number of tequila shots, make the two open up about their personal feelings, and somewhere between the dialogue and the trip, their healing begins.

As I mentioned in the prologue, Bernardo has staged the film much like a theatre play, since, despite the change in locations and setting, the majority of the movie is comprised of dialogue between the two protagonists. Due to this, the quality of these conversations is what dictates the quality of the film, and in that aspect, “Mr and Mrs Cruz” thrives. The discussions of the duo are cheerful, very interesting, as they present a number of comments ranging from social media and literature, to marriage and relationships in general, and highlight the exceptional chemistry of the two. In that fashion, JC Santos and Ryza Cenon as Mr and Mrs Cruz respectively, are great in their parts, highlighting their need to connect through an adorable, cat and mouse game of equal denial, with gusto and nuanced performances.

Since the movie would be somewhat tiresome if the dialogues took the narrative completely over, Bernardo took care of letting it function also aSans a tour guide to the beauties of the area, presenting a number of locations of extreme allure. Boy Yniguez’s cinematography makes the most of these settings, as the film also succeeds as a promo of the area. His framing, particularly during the dialogues, is also great, highlighting the psychology of the two, and how close they keep coming, in elaborate fashion. 

“Mr and Mrs Cruz” is easy to watch, very entertaining, and filled with cheerfulness and beauty.

Watch My Ex & Whys (2017) Liza Soberano, Enrique Gil | Movie Review | Tagalog

 Watch My Ex & Whys (2017)  Liza Soberano, Enrique Gil | Movie Review | Tagalog | Films

My Ex and Whys is a 2017 Philippine romantic comedy drama film co-written and directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. Starring Enrique Gil & Liza Soberano, the story is about a womanizer named Gio (Gil), who tries to prove he's a changed man to his ex-girlfriend, a blogger named Cali (Soberano). Cali, on the other hand, tests if Gio really has changed, and things didn't go as planned. The film was released on February 15, 2017 to commercial and critical success, grossing over ?400 million worldwide. My Ex And Whys is the highest-grossing film to be starred by Soberano and Gil to date. 

Special Movies: Liza Soberano, Enrique Gil, Ara Mina, Joey Marquez, Cai Cortez, Arlene Muhlach

Release : 2017-02-15

Country : Philippines

Genre : Romance

Production Co : Star Cinema – ABS-CBN Film Productions

My Ex and Whys is hardly subtle at all with what it wants love to wage war against this time.

Cali (Liza Soberano) is a blogger whose inspiration for the questions she posts online is her prolonged disdain towards her ex who cheated on her. Gio (Enrique Gil) is that ex. They rekindle communications on social media for all the world to see and participate in. Eventually, the spats and debates the two ex-lovers broadcast online be relationship sparks a debate, a rabid fight between those who favor Cali’s distrust with all men and Gio’s fervent desire to prove her wrong.

Cali comes from a household of women scorned by men they loved and continue to love. Gio, on the other hand, is surrounded by kin who brag about their skillful infidelities. Cali capitalizes on gender stereotypes to put down men during her online tirades, while Gio resists the urge to make a mistake that will prove Cali right. 

My Ex and Whys capitalizes on gender stereotypes, whether true or not, to separate the two former lovers, allowing love to conquer them.

It doesn’t delve deep enough to dig whether or not Cali’s preoccupation with stereotyping the opposite sex has merit. It just paints a comical scenario to backdrop its familiar love story with, and nothing more. It is thoroughly entertaining, although at times, its persistence on painting its characters too simply turn them into noxiously close-minded individuals. 

It is to Soberano’s credit that she is able to charm her way out of her character’s inexplicable immaturity. Gil, on the other hand, plays the suffering ex-boyfriend with ample enthusiasm. If My Ex and Whys is meant to be a simple showcase of a love team’s power to arouse fantasy and make-believe, then it seems like it is all worth it. 

The movie however has a lot of interesting ideas, which it squarely abandons all for the sake of formula. 

Please watch the film My Ex and Whys , because everyone's opinion is different.

What happens if you lose the name, the warmth of the family at home? For everyone the house is a place where to laugh and tell stories with family members. But it is different with Manuel Bonifacio's family, who feel they have lost their name, the warmth of their family after the death of their beloved wife and all their children, Allan, Bryan, Cha and Dexter are busy with their respective jobs and choose not to live with their father. His father lived with only one relative. One day, his father, Manuel, received the shocking news that he had cancer, and he only had 7 weeks to live. Panic and anxiety even came to the children after being notified in a written message sent by their father. The four children decided to spend the remaining 7 weeks of their father's life in the house they grew up in.

The film by Cathy Garcia-Molina is really heartbreaking and makes you smack when you watch it. This film is clearly about a family. If the name is a family, there must be conflicts between one family member and another. Fortunately, the conflict given by this film feels so solid and fits for 2 hours. With the presence of 4 children, the conflicts that have occurred one by one can be tackled one by one. The conflict that this film provides is so pronounced with extraordinary music that fits the scene. For some viewers, the Seven Sundays film is a personal film, maybe you will be flustered by what happened in this film or do you also feel what is felt in this film?

 The players in the Seven Sundays film produced by Star Cinema have strong chemistry with each other as family members. The way they speak from words and expressions feels like a whole family whose stories are real, not fictional. Call it Ronaldo Valdez as a father who feels so dignified, Aga Muhlach as the oldest child is so selfish but can be wise to protect his younger siblings, Dingdong Dantes, as the second most successful child among others, Christine Ryes as the only girl and has problems in his own family, as well as the bontot Enrique Gil, who felt isolated from family members after the death of his mother so he became a semi broken home.

Charles, an engineering student with an eye for beauty, just returned from school to a dormitory owned by Aling Linda, a strict, lonesome widow. Other occupants of the dorm include Max–now on his 7th year in college, Sheen–his reluctant partner, Steven–a social entrepreneur, Ramon–his cop lover, Alex–a call center agent, and Jenny–his attentive girlfriend. They all spend the evening tucked away in solitary rooms, talking about collective experiences, sharing a similar fate. And rent is due.
