I specifically remembered "hating" it, really came out of the movie house (with some of my friends) with teeth grating. But then I also understand that appreciation for movies (and "art works" in general) is a subjective experience. People enjoy or appreciate stuff because they relate to something, a short scene or anything, within the movie. <br /><br />I like Toni-Vhong too. I admire their friendship, and they have a spectacular "heart warming" chemistry on screen simply because they connect with each other. Did you see their segment last Sunday ("The Buzz") - it was fun watching them together coz they light up the screen. They are a fetching couple. It's hard to dislike them.Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-15664116511001693872011-01-18T15:14:09.913+08:002011-01-18T15:14:09.913+08:00But that's my problem with it. There's a C...But that's my problem with it. There's a CONSCIOUS effort. They're trying to get these digital filmmakers and failing because they stick to the same writing process and ideas. La Vida Rosa IS star cinema but since Bing Lao has creative control over the script, it came out rather differently. <br /><br />I thought they had a rather tough time last year. Hindi sila kumita masyado, kahit yung Till My Heartaches End.<br /><br />Also, I said My Only U, not Amnesia Girl. Hehe. I like Toni-Vhong better. :) But I enjoyed it nevertheless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-28500469974347444392011-01-18T13:43:43.656+08:002011-01-18T13:43:43.656+08:00I liked "My Amnesia Girl" too. It almost...I liked "My Amnesia Girl" too. It almost made my Top 10 best. It was smart without taking the romantic flimsy away from the film. If it was a Top 12 list, it would have included "Wanted Border" and "My Amnesia Girl".<br /><br />But, Richard, "La Vida Rosa" was Star Cinema. Haven't you noticed there is a conscious effort from their part to revamp their movie making consciousness this year? They employed several indie names (some of the directors from "Cinco"); they hired Veronica Velasco to meg "I Do" (which wasn't a bad flick either); they produced "RPG Metanoia" and "My Amnesia Girl", and the best move to date is to split up Kimerald in the cringe-worthy "Till My Heartaches End". I have to give them "one" clap for making a movie that doesn't conclude with riding into the sunset all chirpy and bright - or a "rain dance" for that matter.Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-64625010691685770992011-01-18T09:17:26.968+08:002011-01-18T09:17:26.968+08:00Sorry for the flood of comments, but I love My Onl...Sorry for the flood of comments, but I love My Only U! Thought it was the best Star Cinema movie of the last decade, next to La Vida Rosa, which is of course, a bit invalid since it's very not-Star Cinema. Patola!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
