Project 100: My Valentine Girls

Guilty pleasure time! Lakwatsa day today with BFF Armida. I already texted her yesterday if we could watch this movie and she asked if this was the one with Eugene Domingo in it. Thank God Eugene Domingo is in it or else I would watch it alone. No, I won't be caught dead watching a baduy movie ALONE. At least I need an accomplice. A fall guy. Haha. We had lunch in Shang and since Shangri-la cinemas don't show baduy movies (except John Lloyd movies which, in my opinion, aren't baduy), we walked all the way to Megamall to watch My Valentine Girls. OMG, I'm such a fangirl (which A doesn't know. guilty pleasure nga eh)

A's MTRCB card already expired but thanks to Citibank's subsidized movie passes. But the movie cost 180 bucks... quite expensive to think that this is in Megamall and a local, baduy movie (and not even John Lloyd film). But what the heck... Three stories in one movie, kinda like Shake Rattle & Roll, cursi version.

1. In the first story, Soulmates, there were inconsistencies such as how was Rhian able to hail and ride a cab when she herself is supposedly a "ghost." Why do things pass right through Richard but not Rhian?
2. Also in Soulmates, can someone please explain how one date to Enchanted Kingdom make two people soul mates? I mean, they were not even humans when their 'date' happened. Eto ang hindi ko magets sa movies, how could spending one day or night kahit sabihin pang one whole day yan eh magfa-fall in love truly, madly, deeply na kayo with each other? 
3. In Soulmates still. Don't you find it funny that their houses are empty. Their rooms are empty. Hell, even their closets are empty. Mas mukha pang bahay ang ospital. 
4. In the second story BBF... I may be a bit biased because I'm a Solenn fan. Gosh, I still can't believe I'm admitting that here. Anyway, it's your run-of-the-mill best friends who are secretly in love with each other story. Wala man lang a little something extra. Though this story could have been much better without Lovi Poe in it. Kelangan ba talagang ganun magsalita? Sheesh.
5. A asked why does short skirts look okay on Rhian but looks skimpy and slutty on Lovi? 
6. Still on BBF. That shooting incident seemed off. Do they really have to include that there. They could've done without it, imo. At kung nasa tama kang ulirat, you wouldn't somewhere there's a fight. Kung anu-t-ano pa man, that scene's just plain stupid.
7. The last story, Gunaw, was the redeeming factor of the trilogy. Just as I thought I already grew tired of Eugene Domingo's acting, she proved me wrong. A and I were laughing our heads off. Wait, I think we were laughing our heads off during that chanting scene. Kung matupad nga naman ang wish mo, ano? Kinabog ng scene na ito ang isang episode ng Kristine dahil sa dami ng half-naked boys!
8. Gunaw reminded me of the Walking Dead but with horrendous prosthetic because their zombies didn't look like zombies at all. They looked like burnt victims. And not that I'm taking this seriously but their zombies are pretty fast moving. Meron pa kamong nagma-marathon!
9. Here's the shocker: in the middle of the third story, the screen went black and the lights were turned on. Then I saw security guards going inside the cinema. I was panicking already cos I thought there was some sort of emergency or whatever tapos the people started screaming. Turned out the actors paid a visit! There was Richard Gutierrez, Solenn Heusaff and Lovi Poe and that tiyanak there in front of the cinema. They just wanted to thank everyone who's watching and that we tell our friends to watch also. Galing ng style ha. 
10. In fairness to GMA Films, their film title didn't come from a song. They could have easily named it Suddenly It's Magic or I Feel So Free It's Like A Fantasy. Well, it's not really creative and original but still A for effort. Though ang pangit ng musical scoring (parang galing sa ilalim ng lupa ang music) at ng editing (transition from one scene to another wasn't smooth, kumbaga sa cellphone call, choppy). Sorry, but my heart still belongs to Star Cinema when it comes to local rom-coms.

Now we know why the movie is more expensive- may special appearance kasi ng mga artista. By the way, speaking of artistas, I saw Aubrey Miles and Troy Montero in Shangri-la. Also Gabby Eigenmann. Then Richard G, Solenn and Lovi in the cinema.
