Stupid Scenes I Would Never Ever Want To See Again

Mulawin

Palpak si Pagaspas

Pagaspas was about to kill Siklab. Daragit hostaged Lourdes, Pagaspas's foster mother. Daragit threatened to kill Lourdes. Pagaspas gave in. Another stupid move by a hero. Daragit did not free his hostage. Instead, he had all the Mulawins captured and killed by sunrise.

Pagaspas was in a company of a bunch of Mulawins. They outnumbered the Ravenas. It could have been a win for the Mulawins. But the Mulawins just stood there and did nothing. Pagaspas could have hostaged Siklab and dealt with Daragit with a kaliwaan deal. Free their hostages at the same time.

Or, the so-called sugo Almiro was there. He could have made a heroic move but he did not. Puede naman siyang lumipad pataas, then slain the ravenas from behind.

Bi-Polar Si Almiro

Gabriel decided to save Avila. Like band of brothers, Gabriel and Almiro together fought the Ravenas even if their races are enemies. After all, they were like father and son when Almiro was young.

Then Almiro learned that Gabriel had something to do with the death of Alwina - Almiro's mother. With rage, Almiro tried to kill Gabriel. While they were fighting, Siklab found an opportunity to kill them both. When Siklab was about to kill Almiro, Gabriel intervened. Gabriel and Siklab ended both with a stab.

Almiro poured his tears for Gabriel who was dying.

Anong nangyari kay Almiro? Ganun-ganon na lang. Pabago-bago ng emotion. Parang bi-polar.

Almiro could have discovered about Alwina's death later. Hayaan munang ma-establish yung pagkakasundo nina Almiro at Gabriel. Then, saka na lang mag-away once nalaman ni Almiro ang katotohanan.

Rosalinda

"Rosalinda", a Filipino adaptation of a Mexican novel of the same title, premiered last night. Compared to other telenovelas that GMA produced, the Rosalinda premiere is a mediocre. When the Pinoy adaptation of "Marimar" premiered on TV, it glued me to my seat. The elements that I look for in a movie for TV satisfied my creative palate. The "Rosalinda" premier did not have those ingredients. It wasn't worth to be called the director's cut. On the other hand, how the story will evolve will make an audience follow the series. Anyway, there's still room for improvement. Let's see how "Rosalinda" blooms in the telly.

Here are the scenes that I consider "gasgas na" that I wouldn't want to see ever again in a film or soap.
  1. "Alfredo, a lawyer, shot Fernando Jose dead. He suffered seizure afterwards. Soledad, Alfredo's secretary, approached him and took the gun from Alfredo's hand." I've seen this kind of scene a hundred times, I suppose. Maybe, there's a way not to do it again. Why would a legal secretary do something stupid? There must be clever way to make Soledad the alleged murderer.
  2. "Alfredo was walking, pre-occupied. A vehicle was seen approaching." This scene was very predictable. The preparation of the vehicle coming means that Alfredo would be hit by it. If I had to do the scene, I will make it a surprise. "All of a sudden, there was a loud screech. Alfredo was hit by a car." Just like that. That would create an impact and stir a wide-eyed-jaw-dropped reaction from the audience.
  3. "A fellow inmate, a bad one, hit Soledad. Soledad bled. She's pregnant." Enough of this type of scene. It is unnecessary.
There's on good scene, though. After giving birth to her baby, Soledad felt love for her child.

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...

The Final 5

Daryl Celis' rendition of "The Promise" was OK. His past two performances were better. In this episoded, Daryl talked to his dad over the phone after 4 years of not seeing him. His mom used to call him "idol" when he was a child. Gretchen Espina is a member of UP Singing Ambassadors. Kid Camaya did a vocally-good version of "Careless Whisper" by George Michael. He has around 25 siblings. Jayann Bautista was shaky at first when she sang "Finally" but recovered during the latter part. Ram Chaves, as expected, rocked again with Francis M's rap "Yugyugan". Ram's performance is the best among the five. As usual, he was confident on stage; he was performing, not competing. He has a character. He has a band called "Sutil". I would rate Ram with 5 stars (best). Kid and Jayann deserves 4.5 stars. Daryl and Gretchen, 4 stars. Indeed, they have improved a lot.

"Makapiling Kang Muli" Review

Patalastas-Hikayat (TV Plug) Impressive TV plug. Shot using a wide screen format, the cinematography was cinematic. GMA Network is good in creating TV plugs, not only in the entertainment field but also in its news and public affairs. Kaya naman, sino ang hindi maiinganyong panoorin ang pilot episode ng "Makapiling Kang Muli." Panimulang Kabanata (Pilot Episode) The pilot episode of "Makapiling Kang Muli" (aired 4 June 2012) is not exactly beyond my expectations. I was expecting na wide screen ang picture format nito. So far, maganda ang takbo ng kuwento. The pacing, editing, and cinematography satisfied my creative cravings. Isang napakaliit na bagay lang ang napuna ko - ang pagsabog ng chopper sa malayuan. Medyo hindi realistic ang dating. Sana, the substance of this drama series remain robust till the end. Napupuna ko kasi sa mga drama series, sa umpisa lang maganda. Towards the middle until the end, nawawala na ang substance ng kuwento. Nagiging sab...
