Five Things About The Mistress

image{the cast of The Mistress}

1. Ayoko sanang panoorin ito kahit pa ang daming magagandang reviews kasi may cringe factor ‘yung age gap ni Bea Alonzo at Ronaldo Valdez. Ano ba. Hindi niyo ba naaalala na siya ang lolo ni Cedie?

2. Napilitan ako manood dahil gusto manood ng pinsan ko na lumuwas pa ng Maynila mula sa Bataan. Ang galing ng cast. Grabe. Tutok na tutok ako sa lahat ng eksena lalo na sa mga eksena na kasama si Hilda Koronel. I love her. Btw, hindi ko talaga naatim tignan ang love scenes nila Bea at Mr. Valdez. Pumikit ako at nagtalukbong ng shawl.

3. Ay, John Lloyd. *buntong hininga* Gustong-gusto ko ang karakter niya dito as JD/Eric. Straight forward, romantiko, well-dressed. Attractive ang noo ni John Lloyd. Gusto ko lang sabihin pero hindi niyo pwede malaman kung bakit.

4. Simpleng istorya na madating. Na-appreciate ko na wala itong “fantasy” ending. Gusto ko rin ang mga confrontation scenes. Tama lang rin ang sulpot ng mga nakakatawang eksena at sundot ng mga parte na paluluhain ka.

5. Popoy and Basha > JD and Sari Maganda ang kalidad ng The Mistress pero hindi pa rin nito kayang patumbahin ang bigat ng One More Chance. Kahit pa may love scenes si Bea at Lloydie sa TM, wala pa rin ito kumpara sa mga batuhan ng linya sa OMC.

Ito ang paborito kong dialogue sa The Mistress:

Sari: Ang kunwari ba pwedeng maging totoo?
JD: Kung gusto mo.
Sari: Natatakot akong maniwala.
JD: Release your fears, Sari.

Buti na lang diyan na ako nakaka-relate at hindi na sa “Sana ako pa rin. Ako na lang. Ako na lang ulit.” HAHAHAHA

Avoiding The Irrelevant

I had no new dvd (debede for the pro-piracy bunch) to watch the other night that I convinced myself to watch John Lloyd and Bea’s hit movie from 2 years back, One More Chance. I thought, the movie won’t have the power to reduce me to a pathetic pool of tears since I have already moved on. You see, I avoided watching this because during the time it was shown, I was involved in a similar situation. Situation being, boy and girl are in love- boy and girl break up- enter the othergirl- othergirl and boy sort of fall in love- boy and girl sees each other again- boy and girl gets back together- buhbye othergirl. Typical bs. I remember countless friends telling me to watch One More Chance. I had one reply to all of them, “Kung si Maja ang makakatuluyan ni John Lloyd, manonood ako. Eh hindi, di’ba? Kaya bakit ako mag-aaksaya ng pera para sa pelikula na ipapamukha lang sa akin na hindi sa akin mapupunta ‘yung lalake?” Only, that night with the lack of dvd choices, I looked at an 8-in-1 Tagalog Movie Collection (which I bought for Let The Love Begin… don’t ask) and I proved to myself that I am strong enough to see John Lloyd leaving Maja.

Only, it was Maja who left John Lloyd. Only, the movie has no similarity to my past situation whatsoever. In the movie, Maja is the new girl. In my life, I was the othergirl. Tsk tsk. Two years of avoiding the irrelevant. Note to self: never trust a Filipino movie trailer even if it has the line “She loved me at my worst. You had me at my best.” Anyhooz, I did like the movie. Hands down, John Lloyd is one of the best in the industry. Probably, next to Jericho, in my book. :p It’s overrated. It’s not an 11 out of 10… more of a 7 1/2. I don’t mind watching it again. If only to watch the part where Bea says, “Sana ako na lang… sana ako na lang ulit…” Another irrelevant line in my life, but so what, I’m a closet hopeless romantic just like that.

* Sorry, I kept on using the actors real names. John Lloyd is Popoy. Bea is Basha. Maja is Trish. John Lloyd did not leave Maja in real life and vice versa– that is, to my knowledge. 🙂
