What can be said about the Litrato (2023) official movie trailer? Litrato seems to be another promising family drama film with a dash of comedy as hinted in the trailer with the seemingly unlikeable protagonist (Ai-Ai delas Alas). It makes you wonder as to where is that memorable photograph Ai-Ai's senile elderly character's daughter and grand-daughter is and what happened to her beloved family. The film doesn't seem to focus on the dementia aspect like most of its contemporaries do when using the elderly as the central character. The film has an all-star cast of noteworthy seasoned actors and actresses, with some fresh faces like Quinn Carillo. Who is and where are the remaining family members of Ai-Ai's character? Those questions are what will drive interest for the film besides its cast and superb performance.

I am going on a tangent here but is still relevant to Filipino films in general. There should be more aggresive marketing and detailed press release for Filipino films. I have to really dig deep within the 316 Media Network's official Facebook Page to find the Litrato (2023) official movie poster which then cite the story, screenplay and other critical details of the film. Beyond a critically acclaimed director (Luisito Lagdameo Ignacio), I genuinely believe that story and screenplay writers should also be mentioned in the same breath, along with the actors. This is why I always make it to a point to scrounge up details to complete the information behind a particular film. Writers are crucial and can make or break a film. Litrato is a story by Louie Ignacio (the film's actual director) with screenplay by Ralston Jover. It also wouldn't hurt, if the marketing team can cite some plot or synopsis to give us an idea on who or what to expect in the film. All in all, Litrato is a promising Filipino family film that I would encourage people to consider watching when it hits theaters on the 26th of July.

Luck at First Sight 2017 Filipino film featuring Asia King of Drama Jericho Rosales

What can be said about Luck At First Sight (2017) official movie trailer? Well, this kinds of romance stories is a bit refreshing really. Refreshing in a sense that this has more fantasy elements on it versus your usual conveyor belt romantic films produced recently. It is no rich guy fall for the poor girl (or vice versa) or the family of the couple are against the protagonist's union. I think this is one way for film studios to shake things up a bit or at least explore for the romance genre. Quite refreshing that it didn't came from Star Cinema this time, but rather from Viva Films. I always wonder why most of the time there isn't any love given for screenwriters on these kinds of films? We should know who to thank for delivering us with these innovative scripts (or burn if the script sucks). They should be credited as much as the director does along with the actors; or if it is also written by the director at least let us know if it is written and directed by him.

Luck at First Sight 2017 viva films featuring Bela Padilla and Jericho Rosales love team about life charm, good luck, gambling, and falling in love

The fantastical element is highly unlikely to happen in real life. Because how can there really be a charm that raises a person's luck or people pairing up that would boost their luck to a ridiculous level to the point that they are winning any and every bet (gambling). But of course, this is what makes the script and film special; its ridiculous concept. That there is a condition that has to be met in order to maintain this good luck and no surprise that it is the film's major plot point. We all know that love will love will triumph all but the question is how will they lead up to that part? The film seems to also dabble on gambling which is a serious psychological case to some especially once they are addicted to it which by how the trailer shows us happened to at least one of the main characters (Jericho). Jerciho Rosales and Bela Padilla has good chemistry on-screen making it an appealing (to me) as a romantic film. I usually tend to be a bit indifferent (even a grinch) towards these kinds of movies and their respective trailers, but somehow, I actually like how the film is presented via this trailer. Hey, here is a thought! They should have gambled their luck on a lottery at the very beginning, but who knows it might be featured there as well either as their first attempt to test their luck out or the towards the culmination of the film to prove that falling in love doesn't affect their luck; but I am simply guessing how it will unfold... which is good by the way as it indicate that I am particularly interested in the film.

Love Me Tomorrow 2016 Star Cinema May-December Love Affair and Love triangle featuring Piolo Pascual, Dawn Zulueta, and Coleen Garcia

What can be said about Love Me Tomorrow official movie trailer? Well, it is one of those catchy romantic film for the more seasoned romantic film fans. It has that usual elements of a romantic film except with a small twist — the female protagonist being a mature woman (around her 50's) and the male protagonist as someone a lot younger (at his 30's). Well that is what the movie is trying to sell us, not that May-December has its complications, but the artists in the film as of that age.

Love Me Tomorrow 2016 Star Cinema love affair between  Dawn Zulueta and Piolo Pascual, and a persistent third party Coleen Garcia and cynical daughter Maxeen Magalona

Here is a little fact, did you know that Piolo Pascual is currently 39-years old as he was born in January 12, 1977, Dawn Zulueta is at 47-years old, and Coleen Garcia is 23-years old. With that in mind, the film wants its audience to believe that Piolo and Coleen is at the same age-group, with Dawn being the only more mature character in the love triangle. The question now is did star Cinema succeed in pulling this one off? Besides the tidbit I shared earlier, the film is your standard May-December love affair of a film with both the lead characters falling in love with one another with almost every secondary character seems to go against their "scandalous" and "unconventional" relationship. Add the element of a persistent third party (Coleen) who is going after the lead after a "one night stand" and a cynical daughter towards her mom's younger lover.
