My Movie Review: BFF (Best Friends Forever)

Posted by acmomcee | Movies | Tuesday 27 July 2010 2:52 pm

BFFBFF is a 2009 movie starring the Mega Star and the Comedy Concert Queen, Ms. Sharon Cuneta and Ms. Ai-Ai Delas Alas. It’s  a story of the two women who are both mothers – one is a single mom, the other is married but doesn’t have a healthy relationship with her husband. They built a good relationship as best friends only to find out that they are loving the same man. It’s a comedy film, but just right to show the realities of a mother’s life.

I am not a single mom (and hopefully could never be), but I am a wife trying my very best to have the best relationship with my husband. That’s one reason why my focus was on the problems that has arisen in Honey’s (Sharon) married life. She was so focused on taking care of her family and forgot to take good care of herself. The result was, her husband looked for someone opposite of her. Because she grew so big and because she was feeling that her husband has another woman, she enrolled herself to the gym and there she met her fitness instructor, Frances (Ai-Ai) who taught her how to properly take good care of herself.

Personally, I didn’t find the movie very funny than expected neither did I find it unique and very interesting. The story was for me, too shallow. Don’t get me wrong, I am a 101% Sharonian and I love Sharon to bits. I love her every movie and I don’t care if I watch them more than 2 times. Maybe I just expected so much, well because it’s a Sharon film plus one of my most favorite comedian, Ai-Ai was there. Nevertheless, I am happy that I got the point of taking good care of myself as a woman even though I am already a wife and mother. I won’t as much as possible let myself gain so much weight because if I do, I’m sure to enroll my self to every gym there is and buy apidexin or all the other weight loss pill in the market. :lol: Also, I am hoping that I can soon find my own BFF who will be there for me and I to her, through thick and thin.

TCP: Dinosaur

Posted by acmomcee | Meme,Movies | Thursday 22 April 2010 4:02 pm

Aladar, Neera, Kron, Bruton, Emma, Plio, Zini, Suri, Eema are only some of the names that are printed in my head, because this movie is being played a number of times a day. We watched it the first time when we rented the DVD and since then, my Cheeky Munchkin can no longer be stopped from watching it. We can’t find a DVD so we seached it on YouTube and good thing it’s there! Yes, the full movie is there! This doesn’t mean though that we won’t be buyinga DVD anymore, because my dinosaur girl will surely insist. Well, I would agree that this is one of the nicest Disney films I’ve ever seen and so I can’t really blame my daughter.

Alyssa is so fascinated with dinosaurs and it all started when she watched this and she was only 3 years old then. Now she’s 4 1/5 and that didn’t change a bit. In fact, she’ll get hold of any dinosaur toy, soft or hard, whenever she gets the chance to do so. So what does this Dinosaur film all about?

It’s about a dinosaur egg that has travelled to different places and finally came to the land of the lemurs. The lemurs adopted the dinosaur and named him Aladar. They taught him how not to like meat and they all considered each other a family. Then the what has been known as a “big bang theory” where a meteor shower hits the earth, they have no choice but to leave their land and go somewhere they never knew of. That was the only time when Aldar saw others who look like himself. The other dinosaurs thought he’s just normal and so he’s been welcomed to join the clan led by Kron and Bruton. They travelled all together and try to reach the nesting grounds, but it’s not going to be easy. So a lot of trials have been encountered along the way and because the leaders don’t care about everyone, Aladar voiced out what he thought was best. He taught the others how to protect one another as a group so they can battle all the carnotaurus that’s been trying to kill them.

It’s a film that teaches kids how to love one another because each and everyone is important. It also teaches kids how to listen to other’s opinions and not all the time what they thought is right. It’s a film worth watching by every kids and as a mom, I know and I believe that these are some simple ways for us to teach our children good manners.

Freaky Friday – Tuesday Couch Potatoes

Posted by acmomcee | Meme,Movies | Wednesday 3 March 2010 2:04 pm
Oh, I’m not a big fan of movies, but I want to be! That’s why I joined TCP. LOL. I know I will learn so much from them and from my co-couchers most specially.

So for this week’s theme “School is Fun”, my pick’s Freaky Friday. It’s only a day in high school and a mom was able to see how much different it is from then and now.



Here’s the movie synopsis from tribute.ca:

Dr. Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her 15-year-old daughter, Anna (Lohan), are not getting along. They don’t see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not in each other’s taste in men. One evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch — Anna is incensed that her mother doesn’t support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can’t see why Anna won’t give her fiancé (Harmon) a break. Everything changes when two identical Chinese fortune cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. The next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the other’s bodies. As they literally walk a mile in each other’s shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other’s point of view. But with Tess’s wedding coming on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back — and fast.

While watching the movie, I’m torn between both being a parent and a daughter. I can’t imagine myself being the mom who doesn’t understand my own daughter because we got that so called “generation gap”. Indeed highschool days and age is fun, but parents have to be understanding of what teenagers are going through. And the same goes with the kids. 

Kung Mawawala Ka Pa – Tuesday Couch Potatoes

Posted by acmomcee | Movies | Wednesday 24 February 2010 5:36 pm
This week’s theme is “For the Love of Family”. The first time I learned about the theme, I told myself that it’s gonna be very easy. I know I’ve watched so many films about family, but when I was about to write it already, everything slipped off my mind. I can’t even think of anything that’s about family. I even asked other moms I know to help me out on the right movie. Mommy Dhyne whom I’ve known since Friendster days first suggested My Sister’s Keeper, but I thought of preserving it for some other theme so she next suggested Cheaper by the Dozen. I would love to watch the movie, but because hubby had watched it before, he doesn’t want to watch it again – he’s not fond of repeating movies so am I so I said OK, I’ll just watch it some other time.
Then just now, the movie that I’ve watched a long long time ago came into my thoughts. The only cast that I can remember is Dawn Zulueta. I was having a hard time googling it because I am not even sure who her partner there was. I’ve asked my other friends, Mommy Iris and Tita Kaye, and finally found it after a couple of minutes. I can’t give up on this movie because its the perfect movie that I could think of on this week’s TCP.
Can’t find any image of the movie ;(
Kung Mawawala Ka Pa starring Dawn Zulueta, Christopher de Leon and the then child actress, Sarah Jane Abad was about a family who was tested and survived. The Palma family was full of love and happiness, but the husband was greedy of popularity and politics. He wants to have a name of his own whom the town people will look up to. This is one of the reasons why the family started to shake because of lack of time and attention to one other. Then another reason was the other woman. The couple decided to separate ways, but they found out that their daughter, Charina (Sarah Jane Abad) was sick of leukemia. For the sake of the child, they chose to stay together. They did everything to make their daughter happy. When the daughter asked for a birthday party sooner than the actual because she knows she’ll no longer last that long, they gave it and made the ordinary day Charina’s birthday. They did the same for Christmas. They decorated the whole house just like it’s real Christmas day and exchanged gifts. As the couple strive to extend their daughter’s life, least they knew that it’s their relationship which they are gaining back. Charina passed away peacefully while they were boating in the lake near their house. She left her parents, but was able to make their family intact. They were given another child and as they promised, they will visit the lake every year to celebrate with their eldest who’s then an angel in heaven.
This movie is indeed a tearjerker. I can’t help but think of my family as I recall the movie. I hope and pray that when God try to test us, He’ll not let anyone of us go while striving to make this family whole.
It’s fun in Tuesday Couch Potatoes, so what are you waiting for? Hop on and join us!

Avatar – Tuesday Couch Potatoes

Posted by acmomcee | Uncategorized | Monday 15 February 2010 11:51 am
It’s been 2 years ago when we last watched in cinema here in London. Oh yeah! It’s expensive or it’s best to put it this way: We are just so KURIPOT!!! The last movie we watched was Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. I guess if you have a child, you always have to consider movies that are kid-friendly. Good thing Avatar still airs this February and we thought it’s just right for Valentines family date.

When we learned about the news that Avatar sinks Titanic, hubby said he really thinks it’s worth watching. And for our first 3D experience – YES! I mean FIRST!!! LOL… It was such a treat!!! 
Aside from the WOW effects as they are really stunning – one that most captured my heart was the story itself. As a mom, teaching my kids the moral lessons of each film we get to watch is really something. It just pains me to watch how bad people are when it comes to mother nature and it pains me much more to think that it happens not only in movies, but in real life. Since it shows that Avatar is now the most watched movie of all time, I hope and pray that each individual will remember most the message of the story and not just the nice graphics of it.
