Unofficially Yours (2012) - Pinoy
Unofficially Yours is one of the box office hits of pinoy movies of the year 2012. Starring John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin.
The film deals about a man who falls in love with someone who doesn’t want to fall in love. John Lloyd plays the role of Macky Galvez, a depressed young man who’s been contemplating on why he had several failed relationships. Angel, on the other hand, plays the role of Ces, a modern day woman who is afraid of commitments. When their worlds collide, a funny yet sexy love story develops!
Unofficially Yours, which is Star Cinema’s Valentine movie offering, will definitely be pushing the limits of the Philippine dating and sex culture, especially for the conservative ones. But if No Other Woman, with all its infidelity, made it big in ticket sales, why can’t a romantic movie about casual sex, right?
However, this theme is already thread on by a lot of other local movies. But we haven’t seen John Lloyd and Angel explicitly does it.

Every Breath U Take (2012)
Every Breath You Take is a pinoy movie starring Piolo Pascual and Angelica Panganiban.
Every Breath U Take is more a carefree screwball than a careless rom-com. Since Star Cinema has cornered the Philippine market with its generic romances that offer a dash of humor and a sliver of drama, it has always been careful in maintaining the formula of unbelievably pretty protagonists, played by actors and actresses who are marketed as love teams, with particular backstories suddenly confronted with the utmost dilemma of falling in love with each other. Thankfully, the film courageously skips key elements of the formula to inject an internal logic of well-timed guffaws and out-of-this world coincidences that are not only unbelievable and farfetched but also fittingly entertaining. Some of our relatives abroad are watching this through their lap tops by searching some free streaming websites online. But it is also available here so sit tight and relax.

In the film, the characters do fall in love, yet that brand of love they profess is hardly the noble and idealistic type that the mainstream studio repeatedly espouses in its products. The film's brand of love is not befuddled by weepy needs for fulfilment, whether it comes from the self, parents, or society, but is simply more straightforward, or if we are to be blunt about it, more shallow. Majoy simply wants to find her fated prince charming before her ovaries stop producing eggs. Leo simply wants that diversion where his land-selling skills can also be applied. The other characters are similarly situated. Yet despite the unabashed lack of motivation for their respective romantic endeavors, Mae Czarina Cruz was successful to maintain the same swooning sheen that it shares with Star Cinema's other romances.
Panganiban, for example, becomes the antithesis of the Star Cinema heroine, which is simply a character that is so written to be played by any actress because that character is simply a vessel of whatever trait that is forwarded by the usually thin narratives of the typical Star Cinema rom-com. The character of Majoy seems to be precisely a Panganiban vehicle. Although not in the same vein as the ones that are usually lauded by critics and the press in their yearly acting ceremonies, Majoy's character is an acting piece that requires Panganiban's fascinating ability to mix the unassuming naiveté of a sexual first-timer and the desperation of a libidinous nympho to great comedic effect. Pascual, on the other hand, gamely allows himself to be objectified.
Even the casting of Panganiban and Pascual seems to be unburdened with the ulterior motive of establishing a love duo that would hopefully earn for themselves a few more films together and for the studio several more millions of pesos worth of sold tickets. It feels like Panganiban and Pascual were casted not because their pairing can sell the most tickets and can usher in another lucrative pairing involving very bankable celebrities but simply because they fit their roles. The lack of chemistry between the leads is made up mostly by their willingness to take part in the experimentation.

The Avengers is the culmination of what began in Iron Man; and
continued through The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain
America. It was only a few years ago that my son and I had just
finished watching Iron Man and as the credits were ending, Samuel L.
Jackson appeared on screen as Nick Fury and spoke to Tony Stark about
joining Avengers Initiative…in that short scene, the framework for
potentially the greatest comic book movie of all-time had begun!
