Yes, call me jologs but I really wanted to see a tagalog movie. Been awhile since the last one... it might have been a Kim-Gerald movie as well, I think. Hahaha! But seriously, I'm not a big fan!
Well, that's 2 straight movie nights for me. Megamind and this. I think you might have guessed by now that I'm a frequent movie goer.. To prove my point, I actually recently watched 2 movies in one afternoon. The other one was even an Italian movie, but with subtitle of course! In fact, in a month's time, I usually watch a minimum of 3 movies. That's how badly addicted I am -- a habit (or addiction) that I'd rather not have. Come to think of it, it's an expensive lifestyle for a mere bank employee like me (hihihi). It's as expensive as drinking Coffee in Starbucks and Coffee Bean -- but that's another story.
Anyway, the point of this post is to know why they keep using songs as movie titles... Have Filipino writers gone tired of thinking of interesting ones? I hope not. What if there comes a time when we've used all the songs in the OPM list already? What now? I suppose that would be a feat!
I actually met a movie writer recently and was truly amazed by his sheer wittiness. He keeps me hopeful, that other writers are also just like him and that they would allow themselves to think out of the box. Para saan pa na tinawag silang Creative People in the Movie Business, right? Or is this also part of movie politics and commercialism? Sad if that's the case.
So my challenge for the movie business is that hopefully, they would be more creative in their movie titles next time. The analysis on the usual plot of the story is something else and deserves another post.
All in all, it was a fine movie. Nothing much was expected anyway. Just wanted to have a feel good movie on a Sunday night -- to prepare myself for another busy week in the office.
Review: 3 Stars - it was so-so. For movie purists, there's really no such thing as a bad movie. It's the genre and the kind of people watching it that would make the difference in the result of the review.
