Dear Other Self 2017 Star Cinema film shot in Thailand starring Jodi Sta. Maria, Xian Lim, and Joseph Marco love triangle

What can be said about Dear Other Self (2017) official movie trailer? Well, Jodi Sta. Maria is still as lovely as ever. You can partner her up with any leading man (no matter the age) and they will still look good together; she is simply that charming and flexible. Dear Other Self is another Star Cinema film shot overseas; this time in Thailand as showcased in the trailer. The film has also a curious presentation, a narrative that shows two possibilities.

The big question is whether the story (one or both) presented in the film are mere probabilities or they happened at the same time? We can see Jodi's character in front of a computer so who knows if this is the last part of the film and it is finally unveiled to us that one or even both potential decision (whether it be career or partner) is true. Because how can the leading lady live both lives, not unless they include a science fiction or fantasy element allowing her to move to realities or travel through time. If so, then that would make it more awesome! So that is the element of the film that got my curiosity piqued. Deatr Other Self seems to appear as a not-so-straightforward narrative (at least what was shown in the trailer) with a charming leading lady. Oh and again just as I've been constantly saying why aren't there any recognition or love for the writers or screenwriters; at least if cite it if the director is also behind the script.

How about you guys? What do you think about this movie that present two distinct possibilities and at the center is a dreamy middle class woman who only want to have a good life? Are you a fan of Jodi Sta. Maria or have seen most of her television and movie projects? What is your most favorite?

The Achy Breaky Hearts 2016 love triangle romantic comedy featuring Jodi sta Maria and Richard Yap

What can be said about The Achy Breaky Hearts official movie trailer? The Achy Breaky Hearts official movie trailer looks fun and lighthearted for a love triangle romantic film. Well, it doesn't revolutionize the genre (romcom). It's the same formulaic hopeless romantic who later finds herself in an emotional rollercoaster deciding which among two potential partners should she choose. A tried and tested formula but only with a dash of 'Please Be Careful with My Heart' (2012) and 'Darating and Umaga' (2003); ABS-CBN television soap operas that featured the love team of Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap (Please Be Careful with My Heart) and Jodi sta. Maria and Ian Veneracion (Darating and Umaga).

The Achy Breaky Hearts charm can be attributed to the still lingering effects of the Richard Yap and Jodi Sta. Maria's love team back in the 2012 popular daytime soap opera "Please Be Careful with My Heart." Jodi Sta. Maria's quirkiness and charismatic appeal also comes into focus but of course this is coming from a male's perspective, the ladies may find the two leading men "appealing" which also works for the film. The Achy Breaky Hearts does not revolutionize anything but is just right up your alley if you are into Star Cinema romcoms and wanting to itch that Romcom itch for the month.
