A mini-rant on the PH release of Obsession

A mini-rant on the PH release of Obsession

The popularity of this movie is insane and it's making a lot of money at the box office, plus it's competing with Project Hail Mary as the most acclaimed movie of the year. The more I hear conversations about the movie, the more I get hyped for it. Pero, in the PH, we have to wait 2 weeks after its US release with a week to go as of now. It's really hard to wait for the film because of how popular it's become. What makes things worse is that the release of this is Ayala Exclusive lang. With how popular and successful this movie ended up being, it deserves more to be played in more theaters, not just Ayala malls cinemas lang. I really want this movie to be out here already! May 27 can't come sooner enough. There is an early access showing sa Saturday tho.

Disney really destroyed SW so bad that there's no hype anymore.

No spoilers here, just my thoughts.

So I watched the movie kanina lang and guess what dalawa lang kami sa Cinema. May Gen Z kids kaming nakasabayan pero umalis agad sila, I think before the 20min mark (thank god kasi maingay haha) so kami nalang ni kuya na nakaupo behind me.

Anyways, I think the movie was "safe", can be described with this 🫳 hand sign. Takot ulit mag risk si Disney (Acolytes *cough²🤢). The movie was cute and fun. There's a reason why kasama si Grugo sa title.

Can it be a series nalang? Yes.

Mas maganda ba yung series? Yes, yung S1 and S2.

Worth to watch sa Imax? Nope.

Sulit ba sa panourin sinehan? Kind of, it was a 2 hour movie naman.

Nakakamiss lang yung hype pag may bagong SW movie noon. Madaming nag dress up. May significant queues kahit Weekdays. May pa red carpet pa. Only for Palpatine to return lol. Let's see lang if mag improve ang attendance sa Weekend.

All I can say is that fck Disney for ruining this beautiful IP.

Watched Gundam Hathaway’s Flash (part 1) in Philippine cinema. Kinda wierd that this movie is set in Davao but no screenings in SM Davao.

My Neighbor's Wife (2011)

Napanood ko uli 'tong movie sa Youtube after a very long time and ang masasabi ko is that kahit typical kabit or agawan plot siya, parang ang maganda dito is hindi one-dimensional ang mga characters dito. Yung tipong di ko alam kung kanino ako kakampi or maiinis kasi mga main characters dito both have good and bad qualities and common denominator is niloko nila mga asawa nila with the best friend of their spouses. Bullet (Jake Cuenca) cheated on Jasmine (Carla Abellana) with the latter's bestie Giselle (Lovi Poe), who is married to Bullet's best friend Aaron (Dennis Trillo), but out of alcohol influence Then afterwards, Jasmine develops feelings for Aaron then they cheat on their partners this time. Lahat ng cast magaling umarte, even supporting cast like Dimples Romana, pero bet na bet ko aktingan ni Jake C. and Dennis dito the most.

Also, Lovi and Jake were around early 20s lang pala dito. Kahit 23 lang si Jake dito, he was able to pull off a dad role na nasa late 20s-early/mid 30s here infairness.

The Loved One

The Loved One Review:

Based sa mga nakikita ko na post, review and comments parang nag expect ako ng ibang outcome. Akala ko kasi walang matinding issue sa kanilang dalawa kaya hindi sila nag work dalawa pero nung napanood namin eto nung someone ko napansin namin na from the start ang dami ng issue.

Una pa lang alam na ni Ellie, kung ano gusto nya gawin sa buhay, walang masamang sundin ang pangarap kung kaya naman nya gawin and aware doon si Eric, pero from the start hindi sya supportive sa pangarap ni Ellie. Practical kasi si Eric kasi nga breadwinner parang iniisip nya na walang mararating yung advocacy ni Ellie. - Dito pa lang redflag na eh, ang hirap sa pakiramdam na may gusto kang gawin pero yung partner mo yung hindi masaya para sayo or di mo supporter. Mararamdaman mo na mag isa ka lang, ganon yung nakikita ko sa kanila habang tumatagal. Magkasama sila pero ramdam mo yung distance nila sa isa't isa.

Yung insecurities ni Eric na pinaghihinalaan nya lagi si Ellie about kay Dennis, pero in the end sya naman yung nagloko. Like, hindi ko gets yung ibang review or comment na parang dinismiss yung ginawa ni Eric. Consider cheating na yon kasi may actions na. Like kung walang tumawag or nangulit sa kanila, hindi lang make out ang mangyayari. - Hindi ko alam kung ganoon ba talaga kanormalize na ang cheating at kaya na patawarin agad ng marami yon, pero napapansin ko naman na kahit sa emotional cheating palang madami na hindi okay.

Pero ayon pinatawad sya ni Ellie kasi ganon naman sa reality, mag sorry lang and humingi ng second chance papatawarin. (vice versa naman yan, may babae din nagloloko at pinapatawad ng lalaki). 

Dito na papasok yung matinding away nila, yung galing reunion si Ellie. Hindi sya okay, nagheheal pa rin sya kasi nakunan sya pero as usual hindi pa rin sya naiintindihan ni Eric. Totoo yung sinabi ni Ellie na monster na si Eric kaya mas okay na nakunan na lang sya kesa magkaroon ng tatay na katulad ni Eric. Sa totoo lang eto yung nakakatakot sa relationship yung magugulat ka na lang isang araw na hindi mo na kilala yung taong minahal mo noon. Sobrang below the belt ang sinabi ni Eric. Unang una hindi sya yung nagbuntis, iba ang impact noon sa isang babae at never maintindihan yon ng ibang lalaki. Kasi kung babalikan mo yung scene after makunan si Ellie, gusto nya kagad may mangyari sa kanila. Ang insensitive non.

Mali din na sisihin ni Eric si Ellie sa lifestyle nya, kasi in the first place aware si Eric na mayaman naman si Ellie so kung yung someone mo eh willing mag adjust and tinanggap ka despite na magkaiba kayo ng status dapat ipakita mo na worth it ka sa kanya. Kaso parang nangyari si Ellie yung mas nag adjust sa kanila. Yes nakikita ko na masipag si Eric pero ginagawa nya lang din kasi yon para may ma prove something sa parents ni Ellie na magpapakasal sila hindi dahil ginagawa nya yon dahil gusto lang maging better para kay Ellie.

And lastly yung Marriage, hindi ko maintindihan bakit pinipilit lagi ni Eric yung kasal like 4 years pa lang sila. Hindi pa ready si Ellie, madami pa syang gustong gawin. Madami nga na more than 10 years ang relationship pero hindi nauuwi sa kasal ang dami pa nila nadidiscover sa isat isa. Like hindi ko maintindihan si Eric bakit need nya lagi igaslight or iguilt trip si Ellie ng "Do you love me?". Hindi ata maintindihan ng ibang mga lalaki, once ang babae nagdecide magpakasal at magkaanak madami silang isasacrifice like titigil ang mundo nila, ang lalaki tuloy pa rin sa pangarap nila. Hindi lahat ng nanay kayang magtrabaho agad dahil gusto magfocus sa pag aalaga ng anak. Meron iba pwede mag kapostpartum, like madaming pwedeng mangyari. Sa last part willing naman mag pakasal si Ellie kay Eric, sabi nya lang hindi nya nga lang magawa syang pakasalan kasi nga hindi talaga sila same ng values sa buhay. Para sa akin hindi gentleman or genuine si Eric.

Kaya kung makikita mo doon sa black and white na scene, si Ellie yung mas nauna pero hindi napansin kasi ganon yung situation niya kay Eric sya lagi yung naghihintay kasi sya kasi yung mas nagmamahal makikita mo sa kanya na empathetic sya towards Eric pero hinihintay nya lang na maappreciate sya na wala syang need na iprove something para lang marealize ni Eric na mahal sya ni Ellie.

Si Eric kasi parang may condition yung pagmamahal, like masasabi nya lang na mahal sya ni Ellie pag pinakasalan sya or magkaanak sa kanya which is nakakalungkot sa movie. Parang may checklist which is hindi ganon ang tunay na genuine na pagmamahal. Dapat walang condition.

Hindi biased etong review ko kasi kahit partner ko bigla na lang napapareact kay Eric, eh lalaki sya. Ayon napansin lang namin na sobrang daming redflags talaga ni Eric, siguro ang redflag ni Ellie ay yung wala syang boundaries, hindi sya kagad nag let go like ilang beses nya binigyan ng chance si Eric kaso wala talaga. Hindi talaga sila same values. Ganon din si Eric, kung hindi nya kaya irespect decision talaga ni Ellie sana ni let go nya na agad. Pero ganon nga siguro reality, na mahilig tayo magbigay ng chances and pag naubos na tayo doon lang tayo mag lelet go.

Kaya ayon suggest ko lang din yung Korean Movie na: Once we were us.

Mandalorian and Grogu - worth it?

Has anyone seen the movie today? Been checking the reviews recently and unfortunately most of them are negative. Would like to know if it's still entertaining at least? Worth seeing in the cinema? A "casual" SW fan here.

Just wrapped up The Boys

https://preview.redd.it/vrpxpngu292h1.png?width=1785&format=png&auto=webp&s=e9e3231fc5d2c12dadd6722535c3d0bdd9d2b023

It was a good five seasons! I kinda felt like something was missing in the last episode, but I get it na it's hard to squeeze an ending to an hour of episode. Or maybe I was expecting something to happen, so the turnaround of events would feel more satisfying.

Anyway I know this isn’t a film, but I want to hear the thoughts/sentiments of people who already watched it (NO SPOILERS PLS, for those who haven’t seen it yet. DM is open for a good discussion if you want to talk some spoilers)

The Children’s Hour - reminded me of how the world was for members of LGBTQ+

It hasn’t changed much for LGBTQ+ since then but there have been significant changes since the movie came out.

Shots and acting was pretty much of that era in filmmaking but it’s the beauty of it. It gets boring and monotonous at times when I’d only watch movies from the last few years so this was a very welcome change.

Anyone watching Gundam Hathaway this week?

So Gundam Hathaway just premiered today. Anyone going to watch it this week?

I got so excited when Gundam North America released some clips and the animation and 3D went up a notch from the previous movie or even the past Gundam movies.

21 and 22 Jump Street will never fail to make me laugh

They may be different from the OG series, but it had a good contemporary take on the friendship and bond between the two main characters. The jokes were really funny, running gags were not annoying, the action scenes were also executed well, plus some good dramatic moments as well. In the second movie, a highlight is how Jonah Hill's character found out that the girl he is dating is the daughter of his boss, portrayed by Ice Cube, and Channing Tatum's character pointing it out hahaha. Channing and Jonah had good chemistry so far too. Very nostalgic yung dalawang movie, and so far both were iconic movies within the 2010s decade for me.

Ang ganda ng plot no? simple lang, hataw sa jumpscares, and pandigma ang plot twists.
