REEL DEAL: Imagine You and Me REVIEW

It was always clamored by fans of AlDub to have their own movie, though they started with My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore, the MMFF movie was created for the Vic and Aiai team up with the addition of Alden and Maine as they became the biggest discovery of the noontime show. After several concepts presented, they were given the scripts to Imagine You and Me. Along with that are tickets to Italy which they will be filming the movie.

The concept of overseas love stories is not new to us, but they wanted to be as close to their theme with the romance of Romeo and Juliet. Filmed in the picturesque city of Como, is the not the usual cities we know but it does have that charm perfect to set up a love story. Imagine You And Me showed what AlDub stands for and we can connect to it.

There are also a lot of actors and cameos which appeared in the movie, and one of the stand out among them are Irma Adlawan and Jasmine Curtis-Smith. Commendable performances for comedy also includes Cai Cortez and Cacai Bautista which provided really hilarious moments alongside Maine. 

It has an interesting mix of light and heavy scenes which I would say is a roller coaster of emotions. And truly they have delivered kilig moments with the character. Since this movie took a while for concepts and filming, it does show that these types of genre must never be rushed and always take perfect time (Tamang Panahon) for it to be effective and moving.

REEL DEAL Cinemalaya Specials: The Janitor

Chick flicks everywhere for local cinema, I guess people would eventually crave for a different genre for Pinoy movies. Next to love stories, action is a favorite of Pinoy movie goers, but they are rarely seen on mainstream cinema, and finding a good one is more rarer. The Cinemalaya Film Festival will happen on August, and one of the entries for the Director's Showcase is Mike Tuivera's THE JANITOR.

Starring Dennis Trillo, The Janitor may be an odd choice for a title of a action film but pose a different and deeper understanding about its meaning. Is he a crusader to clean up the mess of crime? Is he a punisher  who has an alter ego of a maintenance guy out to seek vengeance?

We talked to Dennis Trillo and Mike Tuviera about the movie and they shared their excitement for the upcoming movie in August. Fresh from "My Husband's Lover" Dennis Trillo became more buffed for the role as it requires a lot of real action and combat. Direk Mike shares that they also made the action scenes they always wanted to do and doing it right.
