Watching movies in cinemas during Christmas day has had been Filipino routine, it only shows how Filipinos are a film lover. Talking about movies  of MMFF, Shake Rattle & Roll is patron of the said movie festival, almost every year 'Shake Rattle & Roll' or SRR is an official entry to MMFF.

Movie Review: Shake Ratte & Roll XV

Tomorrow is Christmas day! Merry Christmas! Happy Birthday Jesus! and tomorrow also will be the opening day of showing of the Metro Manila Film Festival. 

I will make a short non-spoiler review of 'Shake Rattle & Roll XV.' Actually I'm not a fan of Shake Rattle & Roll movies. There are SRR episodes that I love and there are also some that I didn't. But honestly speaking, as I had witnessed 'Shake Rattle & Roll XV' I must say aside from its the latest installment of the Shake Rattle & Roll, by far its the best SRR for me. 

I would like to thank our friends from Regal Films, I was invited to the advance gala premiere of 'Shake Rattle & Roll XV,' I was one of the very first audiences of the film.

Shake Rattle & Roll XV has three episodes namely 'Ahas,' 'Ulam,' and 'Flight 666.' I can say all the three episodes are worth watching!  

In the 'Ahas' episode —  starred and led by Erich Gonzales, JC De Vera, John Lapuz, Ariel De Vera and more, what I loved here is the cgi or graphics applied to the snake, I am really convinced with the graphics that can be compared to hollywood films, I mean it is so much beautifully done that you would see it good as real and grasped.

In the 'Ulam' episode — starred and led by Dennis Trillo and Carla Abellana etc., I wasn't really that prepared to be shocked because in this episode, you must brace yourselves for a numerous frightening, scaring and shocking scenes. 

And of course, one of the most interesting and exciting for me to watch Live! in showtime was their new segment - That's my Tomboy. Honestly the contestants were really handsome as if they were real guys, but I felt sad to hear their dramatic stories about their life, but I guess their on the way to prove the lesbians are having guts also and can really prove something.

Pee Mak is a Horror-(disguised) Comedy film. A short story about 4 friends from war, includes Mak (Mario Maurer) returned to their Home Village, where they turns to found out that Mak's wife died and resurrects as a ghost/

Actually, Pee Mak seems to be a very dark and heavy movie but for me I felt t'was a light and a feel-good movie, from the beginning, (Mak)Mario Maurer and friends from the war already started the film funny as they portrayed black comedy scenes on their discussions. though mid of the movie became horror-inspired because of the cinematography, production design and sound effects applied that gives a good break for the movie.

The most interesting part for me is the confusion the movie created in the climax by the " who is the real ghost question" The viewers would really became confused finding out who is really the ghost. the transition to this is very smooth and accepted for me.

Another plus for the movie I think is that it showcases the preception how how true love means endless that a dead person resurrects as a ghost for love. And how friendship is treasured and shown its importance. 

Simply the movie scared me, made me laugh to death, I felt love, I feld friendship. This movie is a movie that I would like to watch for many times. No wonder its Thailand highest grossing film of all time. If I would rate the film I am giving it a perfect 10/10 score.

Pinakilig nila tayo sa "A very Special love" , "You changed my life" at ngayon siguradong patuloy tayong pakikiligin ng tambalang John Lloyd Cruz at Sarah Geronimo bilang sina "Laida Magtalas at Miggy Montenegro" Sa third installment ng kanilang tambalan sa pelikula ang "It takes a Man and a Woman".

Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz is one of the most anticipated loveteams in this generation. Definitely this is proven, as they will be installing their third movie team up this year.

Attending the presscon of the movie, I witnessed them as a person not as a celebrity. John Lloyd and Sarah both shown real emotions,got teary eyed, John Lloyd Cruz almost cried as the topic goes personal. Iba ang dating kapag nakita mo ang tunay na emosyon ng isang artista :)

"Be Good not the Best" , This quote spoken by John Lloyd during the presscon, he said that this is one of the realization in life he absorbed from the movie. On the other hand Sarah Geronimo shown that she matured enough after what she has gone through (love, family matters etc.)

Talking about the movie, It tackles the continuation story of Laida and Miggy. Miggy is bonded with another girl, Laida and Miggy works on the same company that makes occured situation for the both. Laida obviously has feelings for Miggy, as she does things noticeable for Miggy. The catch in this film - will Laida and Miggy be together again? If so, how will it happened? Hmmm, Yan ang dapat nating abangan! :)

Again I congratulate Star Cinema for this film will surely be a mass hit, the same hit as the previous block buster movies Sarah and John Lloyd made.

Lets all watch It takes a Man and a Woman on March 30!
