Have you seen the poster?
I think it speaks for itself. The one word that I could think of is “disturbed.” I have high hopes for this film. It looks like it has potential. Sometimes horror movies are created for the sole purpose of scaring people. I’m all for it because that is one of the factors that make a good horror film. But a good movie should also tell a story.
Patient X is about Twenty years after his brother was murdered, Lucas (Richard Gutierrez) returns to his hometown to face the captured killer. Imprisoned in a hospital basement, Guada (Cristine Reyes) is not just any cold-blooded criminal. Even more dangerous, she is an aswang (a folkloric Filipino vampire-like creature), and creatures like her attack the hospital to get her back. Once again, Lucas relives tha nightmare and must stop it once and for all.
The cast includes TJ Trinidad and Miriam Quiambao. This is a reunion movie of Richard Gutierrez and Director Yam Laranas, who have worked together in another hit horror flick, “Sigaw”.

Spring time cleaning is the day when you throw out all the garbage. Take a good look at your room and you’ll notice what a mess it really is. Now is the time to clean it up and start fresh. A way to do this is cleaning out ugly music, choosing new ones and starting fresh on good films.
No one can ever throw out a good Piolo Pascual Cd or dvd. But I think all the other ballad songs are out. It is time for some fun and upbeat music. It has been a season of endless rain and cold weather, bring some warmth to your music. Pop is never out. It might get outdated, annoying and repetative, but it is never to be thrown away. The past year has been a challenge not only for the Filipinos, but for the whole world. We have lost a well loved President, the king of Pop and a lot of people in the earthquake in Haiti. Spring is the time to remember and hope for a better future. Watching some good dvds will help surely comfort your battered souls. It is the time to search for the latest romantic-comedy films for Valentine’s Day and watch horror movies for those who are bitter.

I was never much a fan of Derek Ramsey. To me, he looked like an ordinary tall and tanned guy. But watching the movie, I can see his appeal to the masses especially to the ladies. He was a great supporting actor. It was shortlived, but still good. Angelica Panganiban was the star of the film. I think she’s a good actress, but she needs a bit more experience. I do believe she can be great in the showbiz industry. This is her third film for the Manila Film Festival. I like all her drama scenes which made it real. The other character in the movie is Gabby Concepcion. I was disappointed because I expected more from him. I loved his old movies becuase he could really act. Kim Chui was also in the movie. It is her first movie without Gerald Anderson. I loved the cameo by Angel Locsin. I think she makes any movie better with her in it because she always looks great.
Summary of the film:
All her life, Lizelle Jimenez (Angelica Panganiban) has always searched for love. When she met Dr. Adrian Benitez (Gabby Concepcion), she couldn�t ask for more. He showered her with love and affection and she has never felt so special. There is one thing Lizelle is struggling with as they live together- fitting in Adrian�s world. Coming from humble beginnings, Lizelle finds it difficult to belong in Adrian’s high-class society especially because Ysa (Kim Chiu), Adrian’s teenage daughter, despises her and makes her feel so unwanted.
As Lizelle tries her best to belong in Adrian’s world, she meets Gary Angeles (Derek Ramsay), the seductive photographer whom Ysa has been dating. Lizelle finds in Gary the comfort and acceptance she’s been longing for. There are no pretenses when she is with him. They share a love so passionate that as they give in to an affair, Lizelle is caught in a tangle of secrets, truths and lies that she has to confront. In the end, Lizelle has to choose between the two men she loves the most and eventually face the consequences of her choice.

I really enjoyed the new series of Shake Rattle and Roll 11. This year, it showed a fresh transfusion of new blood and the result is interesting compared to the past series.
In the segment “Lamanglupa”, it gives us a new interpretation of a group of friends whose camping trip suddenly turns into a nightmare when they find themselves being relentlessly pursued by ferocious creatures. For some who doesn’t have a clue what a lamanglupa is.. Lamang Lupa is a Filipino term for a mythical creature that lives under the earth. They are like dieties and they are known to play with human beings with their supernatural powers. They are blood-thirsty monsters who kills and devours.
In the segment “Ukay-Ukay”, the story is about a woman who has been waiting for her ideal wedding until she found a mysterious vintage gown that she got fixated on it. She didn’t have a clue that the wedding gown was evil passed by a demented bride way back in 1948. And then her designer friend, Basti, got killed.
I enjoyed the characters over the top lines. Like, when Basti said “Fashion designer ako! Gown Ka Lang!” This segment was full of hilarious details making almost every moment worth it.
In the segment, “Ang Diablo”, the story is about a young doctor-intern, Maja Salvador, who works in a provincial hospital. She encountered a patient who is suspected to be carrying a deadly flu virus. But the girl claims that it is a demonic spirit residing in her frail body. The girl later kills herself but makes sure that the demon inside her had been transmitted to the doctor. Until, she finds herself being haunted by demonic visions.

The self entitied album of Calla Lily is all about pinoy rock music. The band is composed of Kean Cipriano, Alden Acosta, Tatsi Jamnague, Aaron Ricaifrente and Lemuel Belardo. You might think that the band was named after the flower “Calla Lily”, but it was said that the name came from the brand of break that they all liked as a snack. The band is quite unexpected with their lyrical compositions. But I think their best song so far is “knives”. In this album, I liked the song “L-O-V-E”. It was interesting to hear the undertones and beat of the melody. The album has a lot of character and depth that you will surely captivate Filipinos all over the world.

During a recent press conference, John Llyod talked to the media about the success of the movie, “In My Life”. 90 percent was soldout for the world premiere of the movie. According to pep.ph, he said, “it’s like watching a premiere here in Manila. Nakakatuwa na ganun ka-wild, ganun ka-instant ang reaction nila”. I would concur that the movie is a success. It was facinating to watch John Llyod in a different character. It is such a success that John Llyod is now preparing for his new movie with Bea Alonzo.
There was not a lot of details to the project. The people included in the story conference included John Llyod, Bea Alonzo, Maricar Reyes and director Cathy Garcia-Molino. You might think that with John Llyod and Bea Alonzo, it would be the typical romantic movie. But John Llyod hinted that this would be a different movie for him and Bea. I am intrigued about his upcoming movie. It could be anything. Maybe he’s doing a horror movie? I wouldn’t know, but it would be surprising to see them in such a movie. I think it could be a comical movie, but the storyline may be a bit different or controversial.
Do you have any ideas on what it could be about?

Everyone has heard about the movie. It might seem like a typical romantic movie, but it is not. It is controversial with its plot alone. There is a rumor that there will be a kissing scene between Luis Manzano and John Lloyd. I do not know the details and I don’t know if it is true. You need to watch the movie to find out. If the intrigue is not enough to coax you in watching the movie, I think knowing Vilma Santos, an award winning actress, as one of the main characters will make the movie a success. It is also directed by Olivia Lamasan, a critically acclaimed and multi-awarded director.
It is interesting to see John Llyod in a daring role. Vilma Santos has been gone from the screen in a long time, but she can still act very well. The movie’s theme song is inspired by Stephen Bishop’s “Something in My Life”. The song will be sung by Sarah Geronimo for the movie.
