Unknown Number: The High School Catfish

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Imagine it is in the 90s, no smartphones, no social media and nothing…just simple hi and hello to all the friends you have and by the time the news about each other comes out, the issue is already done and resolved. What makes 90s special is that there are telephone directories and operators where you will know who called you and who tried to even contact you on your pager because everything is recorded and you can ask the operator. But we all know that we are in the 2000s, where everything is accessible and you can literally use anything anonymously, and we cannot escape the technology but what will you do if this technology ruins you and your entire life, worst, your family? And you cannot even do a single thing but to wait for investigators to dig in deep to know where it started?

Hello, Love, Again: A Moview

Rating: 3 out of 5.

“A future with no goodbyes, and in that future, Joy, you have a home in me.” – Ethan

Ethan and Joy has been in our heads since they released the new sequel of their first movie Hello, Love, Goodbye. Starring Kathryn Bernardo, and Alden Richards, the epic movie collaboration of two of the biggest channels in the Philippines had made yet another history. Pulling out to be the current highest grossing film worldwide, breaking their own record, this definitely a win for Filipino movie and talents. Directed still by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, this has set so many records and first to the Filipino movies.

Before we even go there, you can read my previous moview about the first movie, so that you will have something to compare to. There’s so much going on in this movie, like especially when they actually matched the timeline in the real world, it was really a good move to do that because the movie became more relatable to every viewers.

This second sequel, is about how Joy and Ethan walk through the paths of the real challenges of having a long distance relationship. They’ve seen the brightest of days and the darkest of nights. Joy moved to Canada to start a new journey and fulfill her dreams of becoming a nurse while Ethan continued to live and support his family in Hong Kong with his dreams of a successful bar.

It Ends With Us Review

Rating: 3 out of 5.

“It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.”
― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

It ends where it usually begins, that’s how this book by Colleen Hoover has taught us. It taught us how to not tolerate things that aren’t right and it also taught us how to never settle for less especially when you know that you have felt the the top tier standards before. This year, Sony Pictures has actually made our dreams to have the It Ends With Us book come to life.

The Idea of You: Anne Hathaway’s Refreshing Role in a May-December Love Story

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Is this the time for the era to get used to couples with huge age difference, especially on films? Well, to tell you the truth, there’s so little of those May-December affair films that were released throughout the years because as i have noticed, people are still not used to doing the whole thing because there are still huge commenting about it but in reality this is happening with some couples who have huge age differences.

The movie The Idea of You is about a 40 year old woman named, Solene, who happens to attend Coachella to be her daughter’s chaperone and meets a 24 year old, Hayes, who is in boy band performing that day in Coachella. They met in Hayes’ trailer after Solene thought it was a public trailer.

Replacing Chef Chico: Review

There’s so many series that are new to Philippine TV standards but I am so amazed how the cinematography when it comes to Philippine films and TV dramas has gone from average to international standards. Most of the new TV series that are being released this year were actually passing the international standards and one of them is the recent Netflix release, entitled, Replacing Chef Chico.

Starring Alessandra de Rossi, Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby. This is the story of Hain, a filipino contemporary restaurant that serves Filipino traditional cuisine with the fusion of each of the customer’s life stories. The main plot is Chef Chico, played by Sam, was being replaced temporarily by his sous chef, Ella, played by Alessandra after he met an accident, causing him to stay in coma, with the supervision of Raymond, played by Piolo, the consultant that Chico’s parents’ hired to decide with the future of the restaurant as it is facing a fall back in the industry.

A Time Called You Review: Time Travel Era

Rating: 5 out of 5.

I guess there’s nothing more relatable than wanting to go back in time and choosing to change something you did and expect that everything will be fine eventually, like who wouldn’t want coming back in time, trying not to choose the ex who hurt you but instead choose someone else you’ve been with before you even chose your ex, right? Or maybe right now you are thinking that maybe you could’ve just choose that shitty apartment rather than spending more money into renting an expensive one only to find out that you will just get fired a month after and be homeless, like who wouldn’t want to try that another option that maybe your life could’ve been a lot better.

Glamorous: To Renew or Not to Renew?

Rating: 3 out of 5.

A new Netflix series about a queer man who was picked to work for a prestigious make up company was launched last month and all the things about it is just so familiar some-else-where. This is not the first that shows had actually reinvented that plot where the main character enters a dream job and the plot revolves around it. Devil wears Prada did that and that is one iconic movie up to this date however, more and more movies and TV Series had essentially follow the plot design of DWP all throughout the years but never did I see any of them succeed, one of them is The Bold Type, where is it now? Never have gone any renewals because the series actually flopped by the second season, it was lucky enough to renew even, I’d say.

XO, Kitty: A Spin Off We Never Expected

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Lara Jean’s story may be interesting but what about the people around her? We all know that To All The Boy I Loved Before is a hit coz all trilogy were exciting. Well, this 2023, enough with Lara Jean but let’s talk about her youngest sister, Kitty, the Matchmaker. We all know her the pushy sister who sent all the letters to the post, hence, she is the reason why the movie even happened, technically speaking.

Since there’s no more story to tell about Lara Jean coz we all know about her escapades and all the things she needed to face and leave, and she is happy everywhere else, that leaves Kitty alone with her dad and Trina. Which means all the things she needs to do may involve on taking the opportunity of looking about her Asian-Korean culture with the help of her mom’s memories. She discovered that her mom went to KISS (Korean Independent School of Seoul) having a scholarship which she later on tried to apply to and luckily she got in; it’s the same school where her penpal/boyfriend, Dae is studying.
