Born to Love You Film Trailer Review

There is something about a launching movie films. A celebrity could either start right or not, in Born to Love You's case it looks like the latter. Although the main selling point of this film is the presence of Coco Martin alone.

Born to Love You is a film screaming with cliches and mediocrity. Even the premise shown in the trailer is something that we have already seen in countless of romantic films under Star Cinema. Well, one may argue to give Miss Quinto a little slack because it is her first movie, but let's be honest will you see a romantic film seeing that there is no chemistry between the two actors who we were supposed to relate and cheer for? Well, chances are there will still be people watching this film...that is if you are just a fan of the Coco Martin, hahaha. This is probably the film's greatest strength but seeing this trailer with a "bleh" of a cliche premise, lack of chemistry, and a newbie's seemingly blank acting, I just don't think that this would not be one of those chick flicks that even my special someone can drag me into watching. Although I am not into romantic films, I can appreciate if a film under such category works, sadly Born to Love You isn't one of that. It looks like Star Cinema is experimenting on their romantic film pair ups nowadays. I've observed a similar case with My Cactus Heart earlier this year and look at how that film performed. Making romantic films doesn't cost that much and this is why we have tons of romantic films created year after year, so we can probably excuse Star Cinema for a few lame films this year? In the end, films like My Cactus Heart and Born To Love You that just cashes in on the face value rather than the storyline or chemistry are not the kinds of romantic (or romantic comedy) films worth the time, effort, and money.

Segunda Mano Trailer Review

Watch out for that seemingly expensive looking antique handbag, it might be cursed! Silly as it might sound, that is what seems to be main evil that would linger in the entirety of the film. A malevolent spirit or a curse in a bag or in whatever antique object offers the film showcase. Antiques have always been used as a good source of curse or evil in various horror film and that is what Segunda Mano is all about. Of course, the fun in such preposterous idea is how each victim gets to be killed by such evils.

Segunda Mano is probably guilty of being using second (third or how many times) hand concepts that most horror films have been using from day one. But guess what, even if that is the case, this film will still get a good number of Filipino movie goers watching it this Metro Manila film Festival 2011. Who does not want to see that ever sophisticated and controversial sister of the Philippines President Noynoy Aquino get smothered by water. That scene alone is funny and would convince me to go check it just for the laughs hahaha. Seriously speaking, given to choose only one horror film to watch this MMFF 2011, I do not think Segunda Mano will be my choice. Well, that is me, but many may beg to differ.

What do you think about this horror film starring the "Philippine horror queen" Kris Aquino. Does she deserve the title? Share your thoughts on the Segunda Mano 2011 film trailer at the comments section below:
