REEL DEAL: The Healing REVIEW

This August Star Cinema brings the star for all seasons in a movie celebrating her 50th year in showbiz with the Chito Rono film THE HEALING. The film talks about the faith healers and "healing" sessions that have been a common sight in the provinces. Though science cannot explain, this would be the last resort that they would go for because of hopelessness for their sickness.

In THE HEALING you would not see other Filipino mythical creatures like the mananagal or aswang as it shocases a whole new horror with the sense of mystery for every scene. If you are observant enough, you can actually see a lot of implied messages and artistic interpretation for the scenes of the movie. Also one special cast that will also an important part of the movie is the crow (which we even discussed what is the difference between a raven). But nevertheless, its great movie break for the star for all seasons.

She mentions that even though she is a seasoned actress, she still learns a new style of acting just to satisfy the high standards of director Chito Rono. She is also happy working with a wide array of actors from different generations which she says makes her young with the youthful spirit.

This Mother's Day its time to treat mom to a mommy film. As many local movies focus more on romantic love, it time to again celebrate motherhood, and Regal Films brings the mommy movie of the year with THE MOMMY RETURNS.

Enter CATHERINE (RUFFA GUTTIEREZ) - a younger, fresher, and much, much prettier woman who comes into the life of William. When she threatens to take Ruby's place as mother to her three beloved children (KIRAY, GERALD PESIGAN and JILLIAN WARD), hell (er, purgatory) breaks loose as Ruby escapes back to earth as a ghost to scare and drive Catherine out of the family she left behind!
