Motel Makeover
(2021)

Enjoyed It
I get the annoying voice people are talking about. It annoys me at first, but I got over it. I don't think the hosts are as annoying as the way they talk though.

I really enjoyed the show and their design ideas. I love designs shows. And this is not bad.

Most business owners will be able to relate to their struggles due to COVID.

Geuhae yeoreum
(2006)

Heartbreaking
One of the most heartbreaking movie that I have seen. Very few films had stirred emotions like this movie did. It left me with a lingering feeling of brokenness I can't explain.

Ang pangarap kong holdap
(2018)

Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels Pinoy Style
Its funny and entertaining. Its a breath of fresh air from the usual romantic comedies and horror movies that floods Filipino Cinema. Although toward the end, its pretty obvious the writer is a Guy Ritchie fan. Similarities with Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is noticeable. Nonetheless its still a fun experience.

Isa pa, with feelings
(2019)

Strong Acting
I entered the cinema with very little expectations and almost zero knowledge about this film. But I was surprised how well made this film is. The cinematography is very beautiful and created a mood complimentary to the story being told.

The story is a little bit simple and formulaic but there something in the way it is being told that set it apart from other film of the same genre. And it certainly did not take away from how good of a movie experience this is. It is marketed as a rom-com but it is more of a romantic drama.

The acting is superb for both of the lead. Carlo Aquino, the veteran of the two, did not disappoint. How many actor can make you genuinely feel his every line without uttering any word or sound. And Maine Mendoza, what a darling, every subtle detail of her acting made me feel for her character. I just wanna hug her and tell her everything will be alright.

In conclusion, the film is a fun emotional ride that I wish never ended. I wish my country will make more films of this calibre in the future.

The Perfection
(2018)

Wasted Potential
The story is great but I think the execution had destroyed its potential to be a great film. I find some of the dialogues a bit corny. I think it could have been a lot better if some of the dialogues has been removed and just let the actors deliver the messages through their emotions and acting.

The Lion King
(2019)

Fan of original. Enjoyed this a lot.
I am one of those who enjoyed it for being exactly the same as original. Yes, it is very hard to see the emotions of the characters unlike the original, but it has its own appeal and charm. The kind of charm when you are watching cute wild life documentary shows. I love this film.

Incredibles 2
(2018)

Brings nothing new to the table BUT still great
All the good stuff of the first movie are still present in this sequel. That in itself I think is still impressive because the first movie is awesome. The only bad thing about it is there is nothing new about it that we haven't seen already from a super hero movie. I guess because there are so many great superhero movies already out there that some are expecting a bit more. Nonetheless, it is still a funny, entertaining and action packed flick. And jack jack is extremely funny :D

Thelma
(2017)

Very unique premise
This film is beautifully and artistically shot. Then add a very unique and thought provoking story, that is very much like a plot from a super hero origin movie, and you have a film unlike any other you may have seen. Each revelation along the way made so much sense for the story and there are scenes that are really terrifying. it also tackles some relevant political issues without trying really hard.

Ready Player One
(2018)

I love the film and I did not read the book
I see a lot of disappointments from people who have read the book. I myself have not read it and enjoyed it so much. It could only mean one of two things - those who have read it has very high expectations about the movie, or, the book is so great that a movie as good as this one is not even enough to satisfy the fans of the book. That made me curious about the book.

Taeksi woonjunsa
(2017)

Very heartwarming
The lead actor is very good. This is a funny and emotional film at the same time. The story made me wonder how much of the information we get from the media is accurate and true. It also made me guilty of being passive to national conflicts that does not affect me directly.
