Reality Bites

This is the Philippine's answer to movies of the Truman Show/Ed TV genre, but, much like "Truman" it keeps people guessing as to what exactly is going on with the world the characters are in.

I find it rather admirable that the first part of the movie plays so much like a standard teen drama, with all the elements (rich boy, poor girl, rich boy signing off something - his fortune perhaps?, impressive dates with lavish backgrounds, those corny 'dance sequences' that are a staple of most fantasy/romance Filipino films) then unravels into something that makes you sit up and go "What the ___?" Also kudos to one of the young actors for agreeing to deglamorize himself in the cameo at the end.

On an end note: If you really want to see the lead actor at his best, watch him in "Lagarista".

"awesome"

This movie is "awesome!" Don't be fooled by the title, it seems boring at first, but when you've done watching the movie, it's worth it! The movie is all about an ordinary girl who gets to meet the prince charming of her life or what they call it, 'dreamboy'. She meets this three different boy of her dreams and in the end she has to pick one of course.

Anyway, I don't want to spoil the movie for you guys out there. Here's just an advice I think you should bring with you: Be sure to watch everything closely, you don't know what you might miss!:) Enjoy! And I hope you get to see the boy of your dreams someday:)
