Vivamax : Review of SANDWICH | Director Jao Daniel Elamparo

 Vivamax : Review of SANDWICH | Jao Daniel Elamparo

Title : Sandwich 2023

Stars : Katrina Dovey, Andrea Garcia, Nico Locco, Luke Selby

Directed : Jao Daniel Elamparo

A newly wed couple invites a woman for threesome. Unknown to them someone is watching their sexcapade. When the threesome becomes foursome, that’s when chaos begins.

Expat Edward (Luke Selby) and nurse Ria (Kat Dovey) have been married for three years. Edward already has a son Pippa (Lucas Matthey Francia) whom he left with his parents (Lee O'Brian and Kathy Mulville) in England. Edward and Ria are very active with their sex life, but they don't have children of their own yet. To add spice, they contact a girl Candice (Andrea Garcia) from the internet for a threesome experience.

In a neighboring condo, there lives a drug dealer Andrew (Nico Locco) who runs an illegal business with his friends (Sahil Khan and Michael Olusegon). This Andrew is a sex pervert who uses binoculars and a telescope to look into condo windows and spy on people engaging in sexual activity. When he peeps on Edward and Ria several times, Andrew becomes obsessed with Ria, and finds a way to relate to her.

This film was supposed to be made the day before the COVID-19 lockdown on March 17 2023. Even so, Edward and Ria still called the maid (Nina Castinlag) to clean the condo, hired a handyman (Chadd Solano) to fix the AC, and entertained guests including Edward's family and aunt. Ria (Regin Tolentino). No one wore masks at all, nor did they wear bunny outfits at Ria's hospital, unlike what actually happened those days.

As the story progresses, one wonders why writer Reynold Giba made a pandemic the setting for the film. In fact, after their guests leave, Edward and Ria have enough time to engage with the threesome, first with Candice, and then with Andrew, a total stranger to those who happen to be in their elevator. This story could have happened at any time. The pandemic is never very important to the plot literally, or even symbolically.

To fill the airtime between sex scenes, much time is spent on TV interviewees, such as a priest (Rene Durian) on the spiritual aspects of the pandemic, and a psychiatrist (Apollo Abraham) discussing the six differences. kind of relationship. I suspect many viewers will just fast-forward through long didactic scenes of random topics only tangentially related to the plot.

Kat Dovey and Luke Selby did quite well in their dramatic roles, much better than their previous appearances on Vivamax. Auteur Brillante Mendoza continues his recent trend of supervising new director projects. Jao Elamparo's direction is commendable on the technical side regarding DP Freidric Macapagal Cortez's camera work and Jake Abella's score. However, in telling the story, Elemparo's meaning is not clear, topics of conversation appear from nowhere and lead nowhere .

DOMME | Vivamax: Roman Perez Jr.

Title : Domme (2023)

Stars : Ava MendezAli AsistioMark Anthony Fernandez

Director : Roman Perez Jr.

Writers : John Carlo Pacala, Vicente Paolo Fernandez, Roman Perez Jr.

Synopsis  : A man spies on his neighbors because of the noises they create every night. But he discovers that they do wild erotic practices. As he interferes with their business, the more he gets involved in their lives and their mess.

Cholo (Ali Asistio) has just moved to Manila to escape his overbearing mother. He works from his condo as a call center agent. However, he was greatly disturbed by the sound of someone grunting in agony coming from the room beside him. His neighbor is Raymond (Mark Anthony Fernandez), the head chef of a fine restaurant that serves exotic dishes. At work, he is a strict boss of his staff, a perfectionist in his craft.

Raymond's frequent visitor is a mysterious woman named Estelle (Ava Mendez). Upon further investigation, Cholo learns that Estelle is a dominatrix who provides sexual arousal to her masochistic clients through pain and humiliation. Tony (Marco Gomez) is Raymond's nephew. As his accountant, Tony noted that his uncle regularly transferred thousands of pesos to a single account, belonging to Estelle.

Ava Mendez has shown her acting talent in several Vivamax events before, beating out lead actresses in movies like "#DoYouThinkIAmSexy?" and "Larran". She's not as consistent here as Estelle. He's still good in his quiet scenes, but there are scenes that just seem odd or unnatural, like the one where he bangs on Cholo's door for the first time, or the spitting scene with Tony near the end.

Ali Asistio dropped his usual over-the-top acting style to play the nerdy Cholo, and it's a promising change of pace for him. Tony Marco Gomez is a practically unnecessary side character whose gambling debts we don't really care about. Hammy Mark Anthony Fernandez, the over-the-top line delivery is disastrous and amateurish for a veteran actor like him, simply lacks the class needed for his character - his worst performance ever.

Mr. Renato "Toto" Camaya (Carlo Aquino) was a history teacher in a high school in Pampanga. He was very serious with his job, but he only took home a measly salary of P7,500 per pay day, which he still dutifully turned over to his mother (Marnie Lapus). He was already turning 30 and still very much single, so his virginity was a topic of curiosity among his students, led by resident bully Gopez (Francis Magundayao). 

One day, Toto wandered into Area, a notorious place frequented by men who wanted a quick romp in the hay. The moment he laid eyes on Candy (Julia Barretto), the most expensive girl there at P700 a session, Toto was so smitten by her allure that he just had to have her even if he only had P500 in his pocket. After that first encounter with her, Toto was obsessed to be with her, even if he had to resort to demeaning or unethical sidelines to afford her fees.

AJ Raval still doing adequate however there are still instances that she falters with shipping of her strains. some super moments where there’s disagreement due to the fact that’s in which she’s certainly robust at. the affection scenes are quite trendy. Angeli Khang is surely upping her sport however, playing the position of Lila; a female who begins harassing the couple. Khang’s man or woman is without a doubt the one that gets plenty of juicy moments at some stage in the movie. She’s surely the one to appearance out for within the coming years.

He’s a has-been participant and a failing businessman who receives sucked into all this trouble all because he hooked up with a woman who had cling-u.s.with him returned when he was a college basketball participant.

 Fan Girl | Review Movie | 2020 Tagalog Philippines

Fan Girl (2020)

Stars : Charlie Dizon, Bea Alonzo, Paulo Avelino, Camille Penaverde, Sheen Gener, Gie Onida

' Fan Girl ' 

Director : Antoinette Jadaone

Avid Paulo Avelino fan Jane meets her onscreen idol in less-than-ideal circumstances after stowing away in the back of his pickup truck, and the young stan finds out that he isn't quite the perfect man when nobody's watching.

Never has a Filipino film grappled and left me with emotional turmoil (for almost two years) until finishing Fan Girl. Here’s my complete Fan Girl Film Review:

For one, it’s a film worthy of its buzz. Since last year, it has been announced that director Antoinette Jadaone (of Six Degrees of Separation from Lillia Cuntapay, That Thing Called Tadhana) announced that she is making a film about fangirling with Paulo Avelino playing himself as an idol. As a fan of both artists, I was excited and could hardly wait.

Fan Girl was released a few months before and made it to the Tokyo International Film Festival, garnering positive reviews. Though ironic, I was still happy that the film enjoys online streams for the Metro Manila Film Festival.

The trailer could make every film enthusiast curious and excited. I heard that the early reviews had spoilers in them, so I didn’t read any. I knew there was a plot twist, and it would be futile if I get spoiled. 

Again, at the start, the film made it seem like it was Paulo. Well, if you’ve been following the actor for a while, you know that he’s one cool guy who loves rock music and the rebel culture. Hence, you wouldn’t wonder.
