THE RED SHOES movie review

during the eve of the People Power Revolution, a boy named Lucas has entered the Malacañang Palace where the regime of the administration has fleed together with the family. and finding inside the luxurious home are the 3000 famous shoes of the First Lady Imelda Marcos. Lucas had a great deep anger for the Marcoses for his father "died" while constructing one of Imelda's palaces: the Manila Film Center. and from that anger, Lucas stole a pair and given half to two of the women he loved, his mother Chat and lover, Bettina.

his mother Chat has been wasting money on spirit questors to try to talk to his "dead" father. she has been asking a woman named Madame Vange, who happens to be an Imelda impersonator. and when Chat suddenly needed a pair, Lucas confronted her and forced to tell her the truth.



this is not a political story. in fact, it is a love story, it displays repentance and forgiveness. it shows how a simple thing like Imelda's shoes be able to bring out truth and show Lucas' mission, to his mother and to his lover. good lines, delivered in a very smooth way, the shots are also great. if you want to escape for a while out of the political setting, you will not see it here.

THE RED SHOES
stars Marvin Agustin, Nikki Gil, Iwa Moto together with Liza Lorena, Tessie Tomas, Tirso Cruz III, and Techie Agbayani. Directed by Raul Jorolan under Unitel Pictures, the film will be shown in theaters on March 10.

JUICY CAT DOLLS - No Preservatives Added

three OPM legends, Pilita Corrales, Nanette Inventor and Mitch Valdez performs on stage to prove to everyone that their luster never went out despite all young talents emerge in the concert scene. the Juicy Cat Dolls as what they call themselves provided laughter and wholesome entertainment to their audience at SM Megamall Cinema 9. i really enjoyed the show, so did mom and dad on their pre-valentine date.

of course, each shone in their own way. Pilita Corrales displayed her white and slender legs matching with her undying voice. still embracing her title as Asia's Queen of Songs. Mitch Valdez had her stint as a mistress and addressed all ups and downs as "the other woman". and Nanette Inventor shared the statements of a fat woman struggling to be skinny to blend in with the public who sees beauty in those who starve themselves. the only thing disturbing is her dress, you'll know why when you watch it. Cynthia Patag also graced the show portraying a kuger and did a marvelous song number.

catch the Juicy Cat Dolls on the repeat show at ONSTAGE GREENBELT 1 on March 5, 2010 Friday and April 2010, 8:30pm. brought to us by MAXIMUSIC

VALENTINES DAY movie review

it's about love, sex, and different kinds of relationships. probably one of the heart-thumping and closest to reality and not to mention containing the actors and actresses from the hollywood A-list. there's the beautiful Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba, Queen Latifah, Jessica Biel, Taylor Swift among others. girls will get their eye candy with Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper, Jamie Foxx - combine them altogether in one movie and that's ONE BIG BUDGET! i think.

all things happen on February 14th, Valentines Day in Los Angeles. where everyone seems to be romantic but circumstances happen when you least expect it. you will be excited, fall in love, hate (for some scenes can really be heart-breaking), a little and laugh at the same time. some scenes can be really anticipated but it doesn't spoil the movie because it will draw you to be in love. especially if you'll see this in this season.

it's funny how single people can end up doing an activity like Jessica Biel's character does. it makes want to do it on Valentine's Day. instead of couples getting in, singles have fun cursing the day. lolz

never watch this movie alone. it will be really awkward.

Valentine's Day opens on Philippine cinemas on February 12, 2010.
