Unexpectedly Yours | Unexpected and Entertaining

To be honest, this movie was not on my list to watch thinking that this has the same old formula a normal rom-com is made of. But this movie proved me wrong by giving me so much feels and self actualization at the end.


The movie is top-billed by the iconic pair of Sharon Cuneta and Robin Padilla which still, to my surprise, the pair still has the charms that works. Joshua Garcia and Julia Baretto also add to the movie's effectiveness even on the sidelines. The movie has many facets that every part of the society can relate to. There is the concept of a mother trying to cope up with the every changing millenial generation, the story of how much social pressure affects a person, the undying first love, the struggles of our overseas Filipino workers and the difference of online and offline interactions with the new generations. 

The #ShaBin pair still has this chemistry that would make the other love teams admire them more. The story is so well written that I was surprised that it suited the likes of one Robin Padilla. The movie gave a lot of feels, realizations and lessons that all can relate to. This is a type of feel-good movie that makes you cry. I would recommend that you should watch this movie and if you have already watched it, let me know your thoughts as well on the comments section below.

Hey there movie buffs! So the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino officially kicks off today in cinemas nationwide. Have you visited the theaters today and watched quality films included in the festival? Well I have and was able to watch AWOL, one of the entries from Skylight Films and Cinemabro. The movie stars Gerald Anderson as a military soldier gone rogue in order to keep his family safe. The story might be a little formulaic but the way that it was skillfully executed on screen making it enjoyable to watch. The movie gives us a glimpse of what our soldiers sacrifice to be of service to the country. It describes how strong the brotherhood between soldiers are as tight as family ties and how they keep their vows to serve and protect the country and the people. It is one thrilling and action-packed film that is worthy to be seen on screen.  Not sure if it was just me or because Gerald Anderson was top-billing the movie but it almost have a little "On The Job...

Photo from imdb website Hey guys! Sorry if I have not had an entry lately as I have been busy being an adult. LOL! Anyway, here is my first horror movie entry for my blog. Honestly, I am not a fan of horror movies as I cringe every time there is a horrific suspense scenes. I was just glad that the cinema was packed with movie-goers that their reactions make me laughed and distracted me from the horrors on the screen. I think we all know Annabelle ; the doll that has evil connections and first appeared in the movie "The Conjuring" . Since the doll got the audience terrified, she got her solo movie titled "Annabelle" . Now, the origins of the demonic doll has been further explored in "Annabelle: Creation".  The doll was made by Samuel Mullin in 1943.
