FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS movie review

companionship, sex and love realized when everything ends displayed in Sony Pictures' new romantic comedy Friends with Benefits starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. opening on September 28 2011 at Philippine theaters nationwide.

you may be lost in a strange streets of New York but there is a person willing to help you out. newbie in New York Dylan (Justin Timberlake) is a blogger getting hired in top lifestyle GQ as a creative director, thanks to head hunter Jamie (Mila Kunis). she also has opened his eyes to the streets of New York and its lifestyle. in return, Dylan has to retain in this new job in order for her to get her bonus. both of them would benefit holding on and hanging on to each other.

clashing two people from different coasts, they experience each other's worlds -- and bodies -- which tied them closely together. plainly sex and nothing else, they agreed simply. notice rear exposures by Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake for about 10-20 minutes of love making. first part of the movie puts you in a light mood as our main characters discovers themselves. as Jamie is a very liberated girl, Dylan is a somehow-conservative type of guy but like a bomb waiting to explode.

but it gets complicated when Jamie tried to find a serious lover. letting get off, Dylan continues to his life but he realizes that something is empty without her. on the other hand, she also gets emotionally attached to Dylan. hesitant to say about what they truly feel, they parted ways. this chic flick rose up your dream on a dream relationship without commitments but destroys your love excitement. there are also a lot of cute scenes like the flash mob. i was also disappointed that there are some edited scenes. but i hope those are not really essential to the story.


if you want to see it earlier than the others, there is a special preview for the public on September 19 and 20 in selected theaters. don't miss the middle of the end credits. check online on your different cinema schedules to get tickets in advance. you can also check the local radio stations for ticket promos.

The Favorite T-shirt Award

this will be the first time that I am sharing a very unusual story from the closet. about my favorite shirt. if there could be a special awards night for shirts and if this shirt could talk, i think it will give the most heart-warming speech.

i got this shirt from a relative who went abroad and of course as you all know in the Philippine culture, relatives at home would expect something back. lucky enough that i got the last piece which doesn't fit anybody but it has the best condition from the rest. i immediately grabbed it and perfectly it fits. it also carries the sleaziest message from all of the shirts i had. think anything that connotes with "SELFISH IN BED."

after around 5 years and i can still wear it and never it has worn off. i also wear it in events i went to and it never left my luggage when i go vacation. it's been there when i gain weight, i enjoy death-defying amusement rides, night out with friends, etc.


as my shirt says "selfish," there's nothing wrong that i share it with those who will be left cold especially in this coming time of the year. so i am donating it to charity this Christmas.

i love this shirt! i really, really do! now i want someone to enjoy it too! i support the Electrolux Wash-aton Clothes Donation Advocacy.

Kids and pirates in Peter Pan!

Few nights to go and we're off to Neverland. Seeing familiar faces like the Darling children, Wendy, John and Michael, together with Tiger Lily, Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, and of course the evil pirates, drawn me back to my childhood and also wished that I never grew up.

Repertory Philippines will stage their last production this season as they bring the new version of Peter Pan with Sam Concepcion playing the title role. Seeing their rehearsals in Makati gave me chills of excitement to see it in Meralco Theater starting on September 29!

Directors Jaime de Mundo and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo also gave us a glimpse of how the stage will look like. It resembles the past of Peter when he left his home and returning finding another child in his mother's arms. This will open into his rebellious but fun childhood in Neverland. And every scene will draw you into Neverland and its amazing creatures.

Now take a look at what's happening during the rehearsals. See excerpts of two songs: The Lost Boys Gang and Good Old Captain Hook performed by the cast.



Indeed Peter Pan and his friends will fly on secure harnesses for better effect. Songs and great dances await the audiences into a magical experience.

Repertory Philippines' PETER PAN is staged by the Children's Theater starting from September 29 - December 2011 at the Meralco Theater.
