Obra - 4th Episode

The 4th Episode of OBRA wasn't worth watching. No question about the acting of Katrina Halili, who played a mental patient, and Paolo Contis; they're both good. What I didn't like was how the script was written for 4 reasons. One, a mental patient tied to his/her bed won't be able to untie him/herself easily. The writers should know how mental patients behave. Two, the mental patient was able to escape the institution. It's corny but I can forgive that. But what I cannot accept is the patient's behavior. A mental patient won't escape like a normal person would. Three, what is that knife doing in a child's bedroom? Uh-uh! That's a stupid preparation. Four, the worst of it all, would a hostage specialist shoot outright a mental patient as if he killed a dog? Even killing a dog would raise the anger of PAWS.

Who ever directed this episode, I am disappointed at him. It's his work. It should be his Obra. Sorry, this isn't a masterpiece.

Endless Love - A Filipino Adaptation of Autumn in My Heart

Courtesy pinoyhalo.com "Autumn in My Heart" is a Korean TV series. When GMA Network aired it on Philippine TV, it started a trend. Pinoys went gaga over Koreanovelas. GMA renamed the characters as Jenny, Johnny, and Andrew. The three Korean stars became popular in their character names rather than in their Korean screen names. GMA7 also gave it a new title - "Endless Love" - for the reason that there's no autumn in the Philippines. Today premieres once again Autumn in my Heart aka Endless Love but this time as a Filipino adaptation starring Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, and Dennis Trillo. Three superstars in one show! It's surely a hit. If I were to rewrite some scenes in Autumn In My Heart In general, I enjoyed the pilot episode of Autumn In My Heart. I particularly like the scene where young Johnny and Jenny ride their bicycles on a long brick road fenced with bougainvilla bushes. I give praise to whoever found that place. The school location w...

Starstruck V Dance Challenge

Douglas Nieras, the Starstruck's dance mentor, chose two pairs to dance hiphop: Rocco & Diva, and Sef & Nina. Rocco and Diva danced better because they were dancing together. Nina and Sef were like dancing individually. Diva did better than Nina on stage; Nina however was praised more during the rehearsals. Perhaps, Nina had jitters on stage. Rocco was naturally confident and relax on stage. Sef's moves tend to be calculated. In the Ballroom challenge, the two pairs chosen to perform on stage were: Rocco & Rox, and Enzo & Diva. Enzo and Diva danced well. Rocco & Rox's performance was boring. As beginners though, they all did well. The Bottom Three The bottom three are: Princess, for missing one dance class; though he did well on the dance floor, Sef was in the bottom three for some reasons; and Zeryl, who missed the dance lessons for health reasons. Stand Outs At this point, Rocco is a stand out. He's charming, has the masculine manly appeal. His eye...
