Babe I Love You Full Movie
April 20, 2010
Babe, I Love You is a 2010 romantic comedy Filipino film starring Anne Curtis and Sam Milby. It is produced by Star Cinema and VIVA Films
Why You Should Watch, Babe I Love You:
1) Anne Curtis in a bikini.
2) Sam Milby in a towel.
3) Tetchie Agbayani as Anne’s cougar mom. She can wear short shorts beside Anne and still hold her own.
4) The formidable Laurice Guillen as Sam Milby’s emotionally distant and highly successful mother. She’s still the ultimate Power Mom. Remember her as the malevolent step mother in Flor de Luna?
5) Leo Rialp at Sam Milby’s mentor. Perfect gravitas and delivery. He’s the only believable character in the movie.
6) Shamaine Buencamino as Sam’s tita. Her scene is less than five minutes long but she’s wonderful, as always.
7) Decent production design.
8) Someone in wardrobe was smart enough to put Anne Curtis in a classy white gown during the question and answer portion of the beauty pageant. Although, it was slightly out of character.
9) Oh yeah. The happy ending.
10) And if you’re watching in a proper theater: an hour and a half of air conditioned bliss in the middle of this ridiculously hot summer.
2) Sam Milby delivering lectures on architecture. Zzzzzzzzz.
3) Awful action sequence where Sam gets mugged. He punches like a girl.
4) Blatant Greenwich pizza endorsement in a scene where Anne (a Greenwich pizza endorser) and her girlfriends discuss her love life. It looked like a TV commercial spliced into the movie.
5) The distinct balikbayan accent of Sam Milby. It grates on my nerves, but some people might find it cute.
6) The stupid theme song. (Hint: Styx. 1979. “Babe, I’m leavin’…”)
7) Dialogue that isn’t remotely funny or romantic.
8) The uneven cinematography.
9) Throwing up in the car scene with fake puke. Ugh. It’s never tasteful.
10) The super predictable plot: boy meets girl, they hate each other first, then they fall in love, they fight and then break up. Time passes and they get back together again. The end.

Babe I Love You Film Review
April 16, 2010
Cast: Anne Curtis, Sam Milby, Tetchie Agbayani, Nikki Bacolod, Megan Young; Director: Mae Czarina Cruz; Distributor: Star Cinema Productions; Genre: Romance: Location: Philippines;
Technical Assessment: 3
Moral Assessment: 3.5
CINEMA Rating: For viewers 14 and above
Hindi maganda ang simula ng pagkakakilala ng sales promo girl na si Sasa Sanchez (Anne Curtis) at architecture professor na si Nico Borromeo (Sam Milby). Naunang nakatikim si Sasa ng kasupladuhan ni Nico ng alukin niya ito ng produktong alak at nang masamain ng huli ang pagtulong nina Sasa kasama ang mga kaibigan upang iligtas si Nico laban sa mga holdaper. Hindi tinantanan ni Sasa si Nico ng paniningil sa idinulot na pinsala ng pagtulong sa kanya sa hiniram niyang sasakyan at sa kanyang leeg. Upang tumigil sa maiskandalong paniningil ni Sasa ay napilitan si Nico na pumayag ipagmaneho ito upang makapaghanapbuhay habang nagpapagaling ng neck injury. Sa "arrangement" nilang ito ay magkakaroon sila ng pagkakataon na makilala ang isa't isa at makikita ang mga magagandang katangian sa kabila ng mga katayuan sa buhay. Masaya na mahirap ang pamilya ni Sasa na binubuo ng ina at tatlo pang kapatid na iba-ibang ama. Samantala may sariling isyu si Nico sa kanyang pamilya partikular sa kanyang ina na isang sikat na book writer at mayamang academician dahil siya at ang kanyang nakaraan bilang pasaway na anak ang sinisisi sa maagang pagkamatay ng kanyang ama. Sa kahirapan ng kanyang loob ay pinipilit niyang abutin ang kanyang ina subalit paano mangyayari ang lubos na pagkakasundo nila ng ina kung tuluyan siyang ma-involved sa katulad ni Sasa na mayroon din pangit na nakaraan?
Gasgas na at madaling mahulaan ang kwento ng "Babe, I love You" subalit nabigyan ng kulay na mahusay na produksyon at timpla ng direktor. Maganda ang pagkakahatid ng pinagsamang light at heavy drama. May mga tampok na eksena ang mga pangunahing tauhan at epektibo na naihatid ng mga nagsiganap. Maganda ring ideya ang voice over bago matapos ang pelikula kung saan literal na ibinahagi ang mahalagang aral at mensahe. Akma ang pag-iilaw sa mga eksena may kinakailangang bigyan-diin, gayundin ang paglalapat na musika. Bagama't madalas na pa-cute ang dating ng mga close-up shot sa mga bida at medyo eksaherada ang focus ng camera sa magagandang legs ni Anne ay nabawi ito ng magagandang aspetong teknikal ng pelikula.
Binigyan-diin sa pelikulang "Babe, I Love you" na ang hindi magandang nakaraan ay maaaring pagsikapan na mabawi at tuluyang makapagbago kung mabibigyan lamang ng panahon at pagkakataon. Sa ganitong sitwasyon ay malaki ang gampaning papel ng pamilya, mga kaibigan, lipunan, ng tanging minamahal at ng pananalig sa Diyos na nagbibigay ng pag-asa. Mahalaga ang ituon ang pansin sa gustong makamit, alamin ang pangunahin sa buhay at bigyan dignidad ang sarili sa pagtahak sa landas ng tagumpay. Salat sa yaman at limitado sa kaalaman si Sasa, may panahong naging mahina sa kanyang nakaraan, pero nagsikap na iwasto at ituon ang serbisyo sa pamilya sa maayos na paraan. Pagtanggap sa pagkakamali, kapatawaran at pamamayani naman ng pagmamahal ang namagitan kina Nico at kanyang ina. Dito sila kapwa humugot ng lakas upang harapin ang sakit ng paghihiwalay at pagpapalaya sa isa't isa. Pinahalagahan nila ang panahon na ibinigay nila sa kani-kanilang mga sarili at hindi sila nabigo na matuklasan ang magandang idinulot nito sa kanila sa muli nilang pagkikita. Positibo sa mensahe at madamdaming tagpo ang pelikula na kapupulutan ng aral ng mga manonood.

Working Girls 2010 Showing this april
Dr. Cleo Carrillo (Eula Valdez) is a famous dermatologist, whose roster of high-profile clients include beauty queen turned society empress Marilou Cobarrubias (Ruffa Gutierrez) and socialite Betchay Magbutay-Cavendish (Carmi Martin). Cleo is married to a cardiologist, Dr. Vincent Carrillo. But her success comes with zealous detractors and nasty lawsuits, something which Marilou can relate to.
Marilou is widowed by her aged and ultra-rich husband, and her daughter-in-law, Amanda dela Vega, has arranged that she gets nothing except a small condo unit and a business on the verge of bankruptcy. Now, Marilou has to learn to get by on her own, something which her cousin, Tere Villanueva (Iza Calzado), has been doing since she was young.
Tere works as a nurse, and becomes particularly close to an old woman named Amelia Marcelino. Tere sees herself in the dying woman and fears that she too might end up alone since she has been traumatized by her one great love, Leon. But as if fate is teasing her, Tere is assigned to watch over a patient who happens to be Leon’s wife.
Tere’s best friend, Ada Villanueva (Jennylyn Mercado) is also suffering from heartache and regret for not accepting the marriage proposal of Jonathan, the father of her child. And now Jonathan is engaged to someone else. As an Executive Producer at a television network, Ada is able to raise her son, but barely has time to personally take care of him.
Children are the least of the worries of Dara dela Vega (Bianca King). This spoiled daughter of Amanda is being given the cold shoulder at the same TV network where Ada works. Her arrogance for having studied in the US irks even the host of the show where she is a Junior Production Assistant. Aside from Ada, the only person who treats her nicely is Bogey, the cameraman, who advises her to adjust to the ways of her co-workers.
Jonathan’s friend in the Call Center, Tobz, is seeing an ambitious girl who claims that she is a model. Wendy Casuga (Cristine Reyes) idolizes beauty queens who become socialites, just like Marilou Cobarrubias. She frequents the so called go-sees for casting of television commercials and television shows, and is sometimes accepted as an “extra”. Unknown to Tobz, Wendy is not the least serious with him. She is after men who are rich, but insists that she will not get involved with married men, unlike her best friend Baby, who is having an affair with Melvin Cabigting.
Melvin is married to Paula Cabigting (Eugene Domingo). Paula is hardworking, trying out every kind of business she can think of, while Melvin is doing nothing since he got back from the US, having been affected by the recession. Paula cannot even rely on Melvin to drive for her to deliver goods to her clients that she still has to hire a service vehicle owned by a bachelor, Nelson Obleta. Thus begins another complicated relationship.

ANG DARLING KONG ASWANG (DVD Copy)
April 6, 2010
Nakakaaliw ang pelikula at wala pa ring kupas si Vic Sotto sa pagbitaw ng linya. At nakakabilib din ang husay ng mga CGIs at special effects na ginamit dito. Malayo na ang ikinagaling nito kumpara sa mga naunang pelikula. Bukod rito, wala ka nang makikitang dahilan upang panuorin ito. Maraming elemento ang hindi malinaw dahil hindi man lamang ito pinagka-abalahang busisiin. Ang daloy ng kwento at ang mga eksenang ginamit para umusad ang pelikula ay para bang hindi na pinag-isipan. Bago umabot sa sentro ng kwento ay katakut-takot na mga pasakalye at walang saysay na eksena ang ipinakikita. Halos ikatlo ng palabas bago pa magkita at magkatuluyan sina Victor at Eliza. Ubod tuloy ng bagal ang pag-usad ng pelikula. Kulang din ang aspetong malikhain ang pelikula. Una, walang kabuhay-buhay gumanap si Reyes. Kulang ang alindog niya bilang kaakit-akit na dalaga at napakalamya naman niya bilang mabangis na aswang. Bukod pa rito, nakakailang na halatang-halata ang kapal ng make-up ni Reyes bilang isang probinsyanang aswang. Ni hindi man lamang pinag-aksayahan ng panahon turuan ang mga babaeng aswang ng tamang tindig at porma sa pakikipaglaban. Bagamat mahusay magpatawa, mababaw ang pagkakabuo sa katauhan ni Sotto. Siya pa rin ang Sottong napanuod sa Okay Ka Fairy Ko hanggang Iskul Bukol noong nakaraang taon. Sayang lamang ang busisi sa aspetong teknikal dahil napakababaw ng pagkakabuo sa pelikula.
