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?

Pwera Usog 2017 Regal horror film featuring Devon Seron

What can be said about Pwera Usog (2017) official movie trailer? Well, first up the trailer for the film looks crisp which is not really that big of an accomplishment (and deal) as this film is backed up by a major Filipino film company (Regal Entertainment). Whether the film will have a good cinematography is yet to be seen. Pwera Usog is another horror film that uses a Filipino superstitious belief as its theme just like its predecessors; earlier Filipino horror films like Sukob, Pagpag, and Bulong. It is really odd to use the superstitious concept of "usog" as a film's main focus for a horror film but Regal somehow made that possible. They probably might weave "usog" into the story but I don't know if we should commend them for creativity or loathe them for laziness.

Pwera Usog at a glance seems to be a conveyor belt film which I can't even categorize as a passable film. It seems to be one of those debut films for Regal's up and coming stars; a small investment for a company like Regal. If you think about it, this is probably why they use "usog" as its main theme or title and uses some Filipino showbiz newcomers that the rest of the cost probably went to the two veteran actress in the film, Aiko and Eula. Well, I am a big horror fan and almost seen most of them, but when I watched the trailer for this film all it solicit was some chuckle and face palm. You have a set of unlikeable millennials doing some stupid things (like what most of them do nowadays) and the film somehow expects us to sympathize with them on their journey o solving the problem they set in motion in the first place. The Pwera Usog trailer makes the film looks forgettable and laughable, but that's just me. You probably might be a fan of these new stars and be much more forgiving in this mediocre trailer for a mediocre film.

What can be said about My Rebound Girl's official movie trailer? My Rebound Girl is a romantic comedy film that once again tackles the cliched theme of being a "rebound", the only difference this time is that the film features Alex Gonzaga and Joseph Marco as its main lead with a look into the local coffee industry as its backdraft (as seen in its many promotional campaign materials online).

My Rebound Girl 2016 Regal Films romantic comedy film directed by Emmanuel Dela Cruz  starring Joseph Marco and Alex Gonzaga about broken hearts, rebounds, and loving anew

Well, it is what it is. Romantic comedy films is the staple of in mainstream film industry in the Philippines. Another conveyor belt romantic film that is low budget and yet will probably yield a good amount of box office success, a "craft" and "practice" that has almost been perfected by Star Cinema. The only question now is will Regal Films emulate such success by being a more flexible studios that can advertise across various television networks (unlike Star Cinema that heavily and only rely on marketing therir films on a ridiculous level in its home network ABS-CBN)? Is deciding to go with Alex Gonzaga and Joseph Marco will attract the Star Cinema rom-com demographic to check this out?
