MOVIE REVIEW.......



I got to watch a movie the other day at the Gateway Cinema. "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" is a very entertaining and funny yet romantic feel-good movie, and it stars the ever-debonair HUGH GRANT, who inspite of his aging-features, is still so effective as a dashing leading man, and SARAH JESSICA PARKER, who has evolved from "Sex in the City" to being an effective movie actress. Both have the so-called cinema chemistry, and the film turns out to be a very enjoyable one. They play Paul and Meryl Morgan, who have actually seperated, and were brought back again together by an unfortunate incident. They were transported from New York to Wyoming, and thats where the story unfolds. Playing support are seasoned veterans SAM ELLIOTT and MARY STEENBURGEN. I recommend the film very much. Go watch it.

BIG STARS MOVING TO TV5.......






It seems that there is a continuing "rigodon" going on in the television industry these days. GMA-7 started it with an influx of KAPAMAILYA stars moving to their network. Miss SUSAN ROCES, CHRISTOPHER DE LEON, BAYANI AGBAYANI, CARLO GUEVARRA, JOROSS GAMBOA and CLAUDINE BARRETTO moved from ABS to GMA. And now....the very promising TV-5 seems to be joining in the bandwagon by getting stars from both ABS & GMA. It started with PAOLO BEDIONES. Now.... Big Stars like DOLPHY and MARICEL SORIANO are moving from ABS to TV5. And there's more lined up. Buzz-mongers say that KAREN DAVILA, CHERYL COSIM, OGIE ALCASID, LOVIE PO, REGINE VELASQUEZ are also being eyed by TV5. TV5 already has a growing number of talents under their network, like LUCY TORRES GOMEZ, JOEY DE LEON, VIC SOTTO, RYAN AGONCILLO, OYO BOY SOTTO.
