Family History Film Trailer Review


What can be said about the Family History (2019) official movie trailer? Well, it is somewhat refreshing to see a family drama film featuring one of Philippines' funniest comedian, Michael V acting (and directing) alongside a Filipino drama film veteran, Dawn Zulueta. In most cases, comedians usually have this innate talent in being good in various dramatic roles. Michael V. has shown this a couple of times, usually on the smaller screen, usually in Eat Bulaga's Lenten specials. It is good, that his mother network (GMA Network) has finally entrusted him to direct and star in his very own drama film. So what can we expect with Family History?





From what we see in this trailer, the film tackles a love between someone who is not good looking (Michael V.) but ends up marrying his beautiful dream girl (Dawn Zulueta), which in most romantic films is a happily ever after, but this isn't this kind of film? Family History focuses on the plight of a couple, which seems to be all glossy and perfect on the outside but tells a different tale; of a failing marriage. These kinds of scenarios are not as rare as many would think and many (Filipino) couples and families can relate. The film could teach a valuable story about taking care of a marriage. The premise isn't something new, but with charismatic leads like Michael V. and Dawn Zulueta with the Bianca Umali-Miguel Tanfelix loveteam added to the mix, this dramatic film seems to shape as something to be really promising. The only question now is, will the film go on a happily ever after route, or will it be a tragedy? Guess that is what we'll have to find out when it hits the theaters this July 2019.

Kita Kita (2017) Trailer Impressions: A Love Story Beyond Beauty

Kita Kita is a romantic comedy from from Spring Films under the screenplay and direction of Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo starring Alessandra De Rossi and Empoy Marquez slated for a July 19, 2017 theatrical release. Kita Kita was initially screened and competed in the World Premiere division of the Osaka Asian Film Festival 2017. Let's check out what this highly unlikely love team of Empoy and Alessandra De Rossi has to offer.


Kita Kita
Plot / Synopsis

Lea (Alessandra de Rossi) and Tonyo (Empoy Marquez) are two Filipinos living in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Lea is a Velo taxi tour guide. She suffers an accident which leads to her being affected by temporary blindness. Her blindness, if not cured in a few weeks, could become permanent. Tonyo is also a Filipino who lives right across from Lea. Lea tries her best to ignore him at first because she is scared of not seeing him. But Tonyo is persistent and is determined to be her friend, using humor and kindness to make a connection. With every effort that he makes the two gradually become closer. In an ironic way, becoming blind allows Lea to see the true character of Tonyo.

This story is about perception and about how sometimes we can’t see the real story behind a person. As Lea’s story ends, we will see Tonyo’s story begin.

Kita Kita Film Trailer Review


What can be said about Kita Kita (2017) official movie trailer? Well, the film pits two highly unlikely love team together of a not so good looking guy and a beautiful woman falling in love but somehow throw them in a somewhat stereotypical scenario of how these kinds of set-up would work. In a world so keen on looks or the outer (skin-deep) physical beauty, how can attraction be even possible for those who lacks of it? The answer make the leading lady blind and then win them over by charms, wit, character, and genuine love. While this may sound a bit of a negative, it somehow works for Kita Kita.


A scenario that a good looking woman falling in love with someone who she might never consider falling in love with because of his physical deformities or innate "ugliness" (what is beauty, that is the question) has been done... just not that much in the big screen; at least not that much here in the Philippines. This is mostly done in a low budget usually one-hour long (plus commercials) one shots as if these kinds of things could never happen in real life. Well, guess what? It does. Just walk around the local malls and you will see these kinds of coupling. You might either be too cynical and start labeling it as something that one is just in it for the money (as nobody could ever fall in love with someone ugly), or be a romantic and label such scene as "true love."


But again this is not done that much in the big screen here... not with an actual budget to it and in this charming way. A film that makes you feel good and just want to root for the relationship to work. With this comes the theorizing, was Lea blind the whole time or on the duration of the courting and romantic moments or is she fully aware of how Tonyo looked like? Is this going to be a happy ending (as how it normally should) or will it end tragic (could also be possible since this is not that mainstream of a film)? The mere fact that I am wondering and started theorizing means that I am interested in this highly unlikely pairing making a big splash. Move over MaiDen, Lizqueen, and KathNiel, there is a new pairing in town and it probably will bring much more realism and "kilig" than most of you have ever accomplished as this goes beyond the physical appearances alone.


How about you guys? What do you think about the Empoy and Alessandra team up in this film? Do you think there will ever be a mainstream film that would experiment on the romance genre that doesn't need to blind someone just for them to fall in love with one another? Do you ever think such pitch would work and why? Did you know that Kita Kita had an earlier Screening at UP Cine Adarna last May 2017? Were you one of those able to see it, what do you think of the film?
