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.

REEL DEAL: The Healing BLOGCON

The star for all seasons, Gov. Vilma Santos-Recto is back with a new movie with Star Cinema. This time she goes with the new suspense thriller THE HEALING.

REEL DEAL: Kimmy Dora And The Temple Of Kiyeme SPOTLIGHT

The trailer of the sequel to the successful comedy movie Kimmy Dora has now been released! Kimmy and Dora (and Mikki) are back with hilarious antics and comedic scenes with Kimmy Dora And The Temple Of Kiyeme, by Star Cinema and Spring Films.

This brings the opposite-minded sisters to a scary quest involving a dark creature and secrets hidden in the Temple of Kiyeme. Also shows that they went abroad (most probably Korea) to pay respect to their ancestors. This also brings their leading men, Dingdong Dantes and Zanjoe Marudo.

The trailer is super funny and I am hoping the quality of comedy could match or exceed the first Kimmy Dora movie, for now enjoy the trailer!

Well, the trailer alone of CORAZON has elicited very positive reactions, comments and feedback via word of mouth and in social networking sites after it was launched some weeks ago. Most people found the plot very intriguing since it has been a while that a drama love story is set against a "black" backdrop. But Skylight films and Reality Entertainment stresses the beautiful dramatic love story is the movie's main theme. It's the unfailing and unconditional love between the two lead characters  that will spell out the difference!

Others find it interesting to note how the movie will depicit the folkloric "aswang" and tell its origin! The movie's director, Richard Somes reiterates however that this is his personal myth on the Philippine folklore. Now that's quite  more interesting alright!
