Had the attempt been armed with courage, with the story breaking the limits of what is allowed under the auspices of what the funding studio thinks is safe and profitable, then In My Life would have probably been a better movie and with a more pertinent title, too."<br />- I agree. That's why I seldomly watch films from Star Cinema. I made an exception for this one because I thought that they wanted to veer away from their usual "tricks". <br />- As a whole, the film was average, I think. I hated the editing for one. The transition from one scene to the next was jarring at times. Some ideas were good but not really thought-provoking. <br />- But I agree that the acting was generally good.<br />- Congrats Oggs on this blog. I did not know that you were such an excellent film critic. Your reviews are also well-written. I guess, you learned a lot from law school.

She can't seem to totally lose the Vilma Santos in her characterizations.

The gas range is La Germania, walang ganoon sa NY. The ref is the type sold in the Philippines but not in NY. <br /><br />Apartment leases in NY include basic furniture like a ref and a built in type range. Yung ref, built in rin, hindi stand alone. Pangit ng production values.<br /><br />Yung picnic na may hatak si Vilma na Coleman on wheels? Imposible, you can't lug that on the NY subway because of the stairs. Obviously Weng Deramas is not the kind of director who has attention to detail. Yung flower shop hindi flower shop sa NY yung interior obvious sa kind of flowers sold at sa flower arrangement.<br /><br />Vilma's acting was hysterical. Probably because you have to shout in political speeches sometimes, lalo na kung walang mike.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-26824011814299501262009-09-22T15:39:04.979+08:002009-09-22T15:39:04.979+08:00"ang nanay kong bruha" could have been g..."ang nanay kong bruha" could have been good title oggs. i can't blame star for always using song titles. they actually made a marketing study as to how audience reacts to film titles. their profit is much better if its derived from a song. vilma santos is an effective actress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
