Sarah (Sharon Cuneta), a grade school English teacher, joins the 150,000 Pinoy OFWs working in the United Kingdom to support her husband, Teddy (John Estrada), in making a better living for their family. More than just a chronicle of the Filipinos' experience working as nurses and caregivers in the UK, this story also charts Sarah's journey to self-discovery – from a submissive wife who makes sacrifices to make way for her Teddy's aspirations to an empowered woman who finds dignity and pride in a humbling job as a caregiver in London.
The story begins as Sarah says goodbye to her familiar world. After finishing an arduous course in caregiving, she bids farewell to the Grade 5 classroom, where she teaches English. She buys a winter coat for her son Paulo and promises that he would use it once she can afford to take him to London. In typical Pinoy fashion, she shares tearful goodbyes with her whole family at the airport when she finally leaves for the United Kingdom.
Finally, Sarah arrives in London. At their small flat, she and Teddy share a passionate reunion. With a honeymoon mood, he takes her to the beautiful sights in London. While window-shopping at a famous mall, Sarah meets Sean (Makisig Morales), a spunky Filipino boy, as she catches him trying to shoplift chocolate bars.

However, Teddy is oblivious to her success, as he is absorbed in his own problems with work. Sarah finds solace in her friendship with Mr. Morgan and his son David, who seems to appreciate her more than Teddy does, and with little Sean, who somehow eases her longing for her own son.
Tensions rise between Sarah and Teddy as the stress of London life takes its toll on their marriage. Because of the mounting conflicts both at work and home, Teddy decides to give up. He tells Sarah that they are going back to the Philippines.
Sarah finds it very hard to accept Teddy's decision. She knows that staying in London is the best thing for their family, because returning to the Philippines would only mean going back to the same problems they had before. Will Sarah choose to remain by Teddy's side to keep her family intact? Or will she find the strength to stay in London to continue seeking a better life for her son, even if it means losing her marriage?

The magical world Engkantasya and the man's world welcomes a new addition to the Kabisote family with Ada, Enteng and Faye's new baby girl - a new princess of Engkantasya.
While both worlds were happy with this new addition, Darkness is once again brooding both in Engkantasya and in man's world.
In the previous film, Satana (Bing Loyzaga), the ruler of Kadiliman (Darkness) lost her powers and was vanquish by Magenta. Reborn through the blood of a traitor, Satana regained her powers and vowed to destroy Enkantasya. This time she has succeeded.
With the fall of Magenta's kingdom, Faye, the only daughter was given the duty to find the 3 missing amulets that could rebuild Engkantasya. Enteng and his family is once again sucked into the magical world and has to travel through Satana's kingdom to save Engkantasya.
With the help of new allies, Alyssa(Marian Rivera), Ada's godmother and daughter of Ina Azul (Tony Rose Gayda), Queen of Engkantasya's Azul Kingdom, and Verdana(Jose Manalo), the battered husband turned into Princess Fiona in ogre mode look-a-like, sent by Ina Verde, Queen of Engkantasya Verde, Enteng and his family has to battle dragons, sea creatures, and sword wielding dark minions to save the fate of Engkantasya.
I've seen the previous Okay ka Fairy ko movies and obviously the special effects improves (not to mention the 300 million budget for the effects only!!! how true is this?..)The lead stars done it well I'm quite disappointed regarding the appearance of Kristine Hermosa and a very clear shot from Enteng's enemy wearing a harnes (intentionally they used to cover it with a spider web something like that)
All in all i would rather say the movie was well-made(considering as a local film) but not as brilliant.
But here are some scene makes me distract: the flying horse scene, the talking horse, the sword they used.
I would rather choose Lastikman for best in special effects than this one.

Dalawang "extremes" sa aspetong teknikal ang pinaghahalo sa pelikulang Till I Met You: kakornihan at karubduban. Bubuntong-hininga ka na lang at ititirik ang mga mata mo sa kabagot-bagot na tangka nitong mangiliti o magpatawa, sa eksaheradong pag-arte, sa kanipisan ng pagsasa-tauhan (character development), sa nakakainip na takbo ng istorya na lalo lamang pinababagal ng kababawan ng script. Sa kabilang dako, lalo na sa ikalawang kahati ng pelikula, gawa ng daloy ng kuwento, nabawasan ang kabaduyan ng pangongomedya, naging marubdob ang pag-arte, nagsikap maging totoo na ang mga tauhan, umayos ang takbo ng istorya, nagkalaman ang dialogue, at naging maliwanang ang mensahe ng pelikula.
Fun and loving family includes My Mother (Nathan Lopez). So they just surrounded a community accustomed to poverty, illegal activities and violence. Perhaps, as a gay or homosexual, he stands foster mother of the motherless family. Serving her father and brother, and he kwinekwestyon the illegal activities of his family. To rescue him by Victor (JR Valentin), an Amateur police, from the scurrility of neighbors. Become close friends and gradually awaken the feelings of young men. But a crime hahamon Maximo honesty of his precious family or friends
If the basis is the "mainstream film", say lacking the technical aspects of Maximo Oliveros due to the use of natural light and one camera. May darkness and grittiness of the scene the camera motion. But if the basis is based on the category of an "independent film" mapalalagpas that void. On the other hand, thrives thrives to turn the image and interpret each scene and discussed. The uniquely enriched as each person. With depth and honesty of character development from the father's occupation illegal but extremely loving to children, the youngest brother kuyang supports, the police Amateur awakened to the reality of violence and a homosexual to feel admiration for a cherished the first time. Gently caress keeping the audience with Maximo. Great sincerity of the narrative to be unavoidable to exert the viewer in the last scene where a boy Maximo testing.
If a description of Maximo Oliveros, it is to be honest its the flow of life. No pagpapalabis covering the beautiful or ugly. So those are real kindness and generosity are floating, flotation, such as adherence of Maximo unkempt neighbor, the strict correlation of fathers and sons, praying before meals, the persistence of honor as law enforcement, a sense of friendship. In the film, given the correlation value over all - and even surrounded by violence and corruption of staff, long fuse is still good and moral values. Two things are disturbing movie. First, no kuwestiyong reception staff to homosexuality. Second, the concept sometimes have indirect violence (which leads to murder) to suppress the evil. Preferable that only the end part of the movie is pinabalintunaan both. First refusal to hurt Victor in catch Bogs and indicates a change of Maximo. In the final scene, both deepen the friendship and Victor although Maximo were ready to move as more as "straight" part of society. A beautiful and I find that film that nangangailangn a thorough understanding from the intelligent viewer.

Popoy (John Lloyd Cruz) and Basha (Bea Alonzo) had been together forever.
Download this movie. Watch the video.
Their love story began when they first met as students at the University of Santo Tomas: Popoy was majoring in Engineering while Basha was a freshman in Architecture. They had been inseparable and did everything together— eating, studying and attending parties. Both their families loved them, they shared mutual friends and eventually ended up working for the same firm. Every single component of their lives revolved around each other. So naturally, everyone assumed that they would inevitably get married someday, with Architect Basha designing and planning their dream house while Engineer Popoy would build it. Everything could not be more perfect.
At least, that was what Popoy thought. What he did not know was that Basha was not as sure about their future as Popoy seemed to be.
All Popoy's nagging and excessive planning took a toll on Basha. Not only was she tired of trying to carve out her own mark in the hierarchy of the firm, but she also grew weary of Popoy always stepping in to fix things for her. One day, Basha told Popoy that she wanted to resign and move to a smaller firm where she could be given better opportunities to design independently, completely blindsiding her bewildered beau. She revealed the issue that had been brewing inside her for the past year: the real reason why she wanted to leave the company was that she was tired of Popoy and their relationship. She felt hindered by Popoy's constant attention and thought that she had never been given the chance to decide and plan for herself because he always did everything. Popoy was speechless and devastated. That same night, Basha broke up with him, reasoning that she needed the space to grow on her own.
Not knowing how to pick himself up after the love of his life left him, Popoy struggled to live his new life alone. Meanwhile, Basha followed through with her plans to resign from the firm. For a while, she drifted jobless, customizing T-shirts with unusual patterns and designs, until she was offered to work for a smaller firm. Accepting the offer, she began to feel the professional freedom she had been longing for. Popoy and Basha tried to live without each other but the ties that bound them made it difficult for either of them to completely move on, especially when their families and friends were constant reminders of the promises and dreams they had made during their happier days.
Slowly, Popoy moved on and discovered that there was life after Basha; on the other hand, Basha began to find her solitary journey to be harder than she had imagined, especially when Popoy began dating another girl. Although a part of her wanted to get him back, she reminded herself that the decision to terminate the relationship was hers alone.
Opportunity knocked on their door when Popoy's aunt commissioned them to build her house together. After initially feeling awkward, Popoy and Basha eventually warmed up towards each other, especially after memories of the five years they spent together resurfaced. Slowly and unconsciously, they fell into their old routines and found themselves enjoying each other's company once again. Both realized how much they had missed each other, at the same time acknowledging how much they each had changed.
But Popoy knew that giving in would mean that they would go back to how they were before. And he was way too scared to get in the way of Basha's growth once again, especially when he had seen that she could do it alone.

The film is horrendous. I cannot think of an adjective to better articulate my dismay with this creepy crappy film. I have nearly lost my Filipino sensibility with its hazy 'crude humor' which they have deliberately incorporated. What's with patola? You know, it's just baffling to me, that somehow, at this point in time, they already know how to adhere with the proper usage of comedic devices in films. This is where we are good at. What I have seen is entirely a mockery of what they have already established (Star Cinema's recent films).
My Only Ü is the story of Winona (Toni Gonzaga), who happens to have a history of early death from her mother's side.

He has a deep admiration for her. He tries his best to save Winona's life who is two days away from her 25th birthday. Things changed when Winona miraculously survives the curse.
The premise of the film has uncovered the contrivance I wanted to discuss further. They have integrated a device which has been used by Greek and Roman drama called dues ex machina. It is probably the idea behind the 'fantastic' or rather the insoluble plot. Of course a double usage might not be harmful and the film has gotten hold of it in the presence of Doctor Duke (Benji Paras). Obviously, the premise has something to do with the unexplained curse, which they have lethargically narrated in a very pseudo-comical way. They showed the ancestors of Winona who passed away before reaching twenty-five and has explained how they died. It is confusing though that they have explained the unlikely way they die rather than simply explaining the curse itself. Doctor Duke just comes out of nowhere to resolve the problem.
A set of portraits of relationships, formed against the backdrop of the hopes and dreams of call center agents. As they work through the night, their own little personal crises bring them closer to other people, and in different ways, affection and love grow between them.

Their friendship starts with a life-threatening event. That day, the young BRITE (Ruffa Mae Quinto), DOLLY (Eugene Domingo), GAY (Pokwang) and RES (Candy Pangilinan) are riding on the same bus that nearly falls off the cliff. Thank God, they are miraculously saved and the four young girls vow to stay friends for life … and in death! Together, forever!
Several years after, we find the four still very much friends with each other in a lower middle-class barangay. Brite now owns a tutoring center, Dolly is a struggling piano teacher living with her good for nothing boyfriend, Gay is a separated MMDA and Res, is now a full-time housewife living with her two kids and perpetually bum husband, Totoy Bato (DJ Durano).
Life has been so hard that Brite suggests they work abroad to earn more money. The three of them agreed except for Res who is quite hesitant about the idea. But perhaps it is their fate to stick together. Res’ corrupt and “pasaway” parents and brothers are all locked up in a jail, so she has no options left but to join her friends to bail them out. Totoy Bato allows Res to go with her friends in one condition: that she goes back to him safely after six months of working abroad.
Upon arriving in Hongkong, their employers pick them up. Brite has a handsome employer who asks her to care for an old bedridden lady who’s surprisingly the girlfriend of his employer. Gay has an Indian employer. Her only task is to wash his family’s turbans. Gay at first thinks it is such an easy job until she finds out that the turbans are exaggeratedly long, enough to bury her alive.
Dolly has a German employer who asks her to baby-sit his three children with German measles. And Res has an Asian employer who unfortunately locks her inside a room, never gives her any food, and physically abuses her.
Every Sunday, OFWs meet at a certain park. That day, the three wait for Res, but their friend didn’t show up. They have no idea has been happening to her until they find out that Res has died. Starving for several days, Res ate all her amo’s goldfish and as a punishment was beaten ala-Flor Contemplacion. Afraid that Totoy Bato would kill them if he finds out about Res’ fate, they decide to bring Res home “alive” at all cost!
Will the three friends get away with their modus operandi? Will Res finally rest in peace? As things get topsy-turvy, the more the story gets riotously funny with Brite, Dolly Gay and their friend, Res.

Meanwhile, Caloy (Zanjoe Marudo) is a pirated DVD vendor whom Moe captures, along with his heart. Things get complicated when Caloy enlists Kevin's help to win Moe, just when Moe and Kevin's friendship gets deeper. Who does Moe really love? Will she even surrender to her feelings in the first place? Suddenly her life as one of the best performers in the service suffers.

The King of Philippine Cinema, FPJ, stars as an honest policeman from the province who has just been transferred to the big city.
His being "promdi" makes him the butt of many humiliating jokes thrown-in by Manila policemen who believe that their being city-bred guarantees their superiority.
Angered and challenged, he retaliates by working extra hard to solve tough crimes, and in the end proving that his being "probinsyano" is not the gauge to his true worth.
Everything from the opening number to the final song is terrible in this piece of trash.

The story, concept, acting, and "jokes" are simply cringe-worthy. I have watched enough Filipino movies to be forgiving with some things, but this movie is far beyond repair. Not only that, the production value and cinematography looks like it was put together by an amateur. What were they thinking?
I honestly don't understand why this garbage even made it to the silver screen without anyone saying anything.
This movie further proves that GMA films will never be capable of producing something that is remotely watchable
His name is Eusebio Natividad, but people call him Eseng 45.

His fairness in handling cases wins him admirers, but it also earns him enemies who want him dead.
He is married to a woman who, though loving and dedicated, often drives him crazy with her mad streak of jealousy.
In one of his official functions, he meets a woman who owns a nightclub. Though not really a rounder, he falls for this street smart female who also serves as his informer.
How long he can keep his illicit affair from the prying eyes of his jealous wife?
And how long can he escape the evil schemes of the people who want him dead?
Spine tingling. Thought provoking. Edge-of-your-seat action.

Ever since Mira (played by Judy Ann Santos) woke up from a car accident, she started seeing things that she could not explain. She felt paranormal activity is occurring inside their house. Although she could not remember anything that happened before the accident, Dave came to her house and explained to her that she was supposed to leave her husband, Paul and elope with him. Dave told her that she loved him and she trusted a secret to him. Mira learned that Paul had had another woman before which caused their relationship to deteriorate. Even her blind child, Sophie seemed aloof and is scared of her. She started to patch things up between her and her family but she could not forget what Dave told her about trusting him her secret. Mira called up Dave to meet him and Dave explained to her the secret she seemed to have forgotten already because of the accident. Dave told her how she had a twin sister named Maria that she left in a mental institute because she had been insane since their mother's death. Mira and Dave went to the mental institute to see Maria but the doctor said that Maria had died a month back and since no one claimed her body, they took it the corpse to a University for study. She told Paul about this which surprised him, all along not knowing that Mira ever had a twin sister. Paul called the university to claim the corpse and then had it cremated.
Mira and Paul's daughter, Sophie, underwent an eye transplant. Sophie was so excited to see the eclipse as this is her first time to see again since she got blind. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a woman standing behind her mother and the people around were wondering who she was seeing since no other people were there.
Paul and Mira could no longer take the paranormal activity so they decided to consult a medium to help them. The old man told Mira and Paul that a powerful black magic is due to acquire a physical body on the eclipse when all spirits become more powerful. The medium found a doll which he called "antigua", a powerful device that the bad spirit used to let itself remain in this world. On the night of the eclipse, Sophie and Paul were watching the phenomenon when Paul caught a glimpse of something white approaching them. It was Maria's body. He took Sophie inside the house and in her room, he found a tape which when he played in Sophie's video cam recorder, he saw it was recorded by Mira for him. The video showed Mira videotaping herself before the car accident she went through. Mira was saying in the tape how Paul could fight Maria. In the room where Mira was, her body became that of Maria. The twist was then revealed. It was Maria who came back from the car accident and it was Mira who died in the asylum and got cremated. Mira had been dead all along and it was Maria who used her body to come back to the world and take vengeance against Mira through her family.
Mira recalled that their mother was a mangkukulam and tried to transfer her powers to the twins when they were young. Being the braver one, Mira tried to contradict their mother's chants as she did not want to learn about her evil doings and voodoo magic. When the twin grew up, Mira decided to run away from home, leaving Maria behind. Their mother died soon after. Mira attended the burial and realized that Maria had gone insane, claiming she could talk to things that Mira could not see. Mira then told her twin that she would bring her with her to Manila. It turned out though that Mira sent her to a mental institute. Maria was left heartbroken. One night, she stayed up late and did a powerful black magic so that her and Mira's body could switch. The chant was effective although when Maria's soul transferred to Mira's body who was on the way to the mental asylum to stop Maria from doing any harm to her family, the car got into a horrible accident. Maria, who woke up in Mira's body could no longer remember anything while Mira who found herself in Maria's body woke up from the trance already in the asylum.
In the present, Paul replayed the video tape that Mira left for him. Mira said that by the time that Paul got to watch the video, she would have been dead. Paul needed to trap Maria into a circle made of Mira's body's dust. Paul did this but Maria discovered the trick. She was pushed though by Sophie from behind and there, she was trapped in the circle of dust. Paul stabbed the "antigua" with a piece of wood and Maria's soul burned and disappeared. Mira's soul showed up to the father and daughter to bid her final farewell.
For the most part this is a comedy, with a fair number of very funny comedy skits. There is some drama and some enjoyable singing. What makes it so good is that there are some real life issues that they deal with. A father separated from his family. Then reunited with at least his daughter and son. Having to deal with his wife's new boyfriend. So I felt as if I had learned a little bit along the way and gained from having watched the movie. We can laugh at ourselves and our weakness, yet still maintain some degree of dignity and respect in the process.
There is some symbolism if you want to try to figure it out. The river is a beautiful women. The river is a place where we feel small and insignificant in comparison. But for the most part this is a movie to be experienced and enjoyed. It is the first one we watch when our friends come over to visit. There are maybe 5 aspects to this movie.
I only understand English, but I could follow the movie with no problem. Comedy is a universal language. There were only a few things here and there that I needed translated and explained.

The fact that BECCA returns and professes her love for him doesn’t help in easing the tension between them. NOAH continues refusing to believe… until he experiences the haunting himself.
