In any case, having just devoured my meal (I was taking pics of the other meal in the ref), I was in a good mood and didn't argue the finer points of Family Mart policy (besides, I'm not sure if anyone ever won an argument with a security guard, short of one person or the other getting beaten up with an ugly stick).
I didn't argue, but I'm guessing that he seems to be under the misapprehension that taking pics inside the store is the same as taking pics of the store. Thank God I was able to take pics of this delightful meal the guard told me (while in the process of taking pics to be uploaded to Fitbit) that I was not allowed to take pics of their food. But I do believe that the original Poltergeist was also a a Sci-Fi / horror mashup, since they seem to stick with the idea that ghosts or entities have physically explainable (and even repeatable) manifestations. I remember the TV part and some kids and something something something happened and, well, let me just say that I'm not sure how much this 'reboot' stuck to the original in terms of story. This scared me enough to keep me away from breaded chicken drumsticks for a few years (hey, I was a kid then). I've never seen the original Poltergeist in its entirety I seem to associate it with a scene where, after chewing a drumstick, this guy tasted something wrong with his midnight snack and ended up looking down towards his maggot encrusted piece of chicken. This attitude is very American in my view, as opposed to the usual Asian attitude of "lets just get the fuck out of here". Poltergeist spoon feeds you: everything has an explanation everything happens for a reason everything has a step-by-step guide towards solving the issue at hand. It's well worth your time watching this if you like Filipino movies (if you're a fan of either lead actors, then it's a no brainer).
Zankyou no terror tv tropes movie#
There were still blatant product placements (BDO, SMDC, TV PLUS), but not as much as your last Kris Aquino or Vic Sotto movie.Īll in all, I'm glad we went to see this movie - it's an incremental improvement over past efforts (in general), especially with good production values, excellent performances by the actors and a relationship that's pretty believable and not too contrived.
The movie is very well made, with good production values, especially the sound effects part (notice how good everything sounded when Piolo leaves and enters his car) which is a surprise, since sound always gets the least amount of attention in local movies.Ī majority of the locations were shot here in Quezon City, and there were no grand locations (like Sagada or Batanes), which is welcome, as the main focus of the movie is still Sarah and Piolo's relationship within the movie. Last, but not the least, The Breakup Playlist shows us that even though the movie has its sad parts (it is about a breakup after all), the combination of catchy Pinoy pop tunes and an onscreen relationship that's pretty relate-able (at least to myself and the GF), did not turn the movie viewing experience into a cry-fest in fact, we left the movie house with a happy heart. The movie also tells shows us a Piolo Pascual who can act like a manly rock star, complete with singing chops he's actually more believable than Ewan MacGregor in Moulin Rouge in that Piolo's voice does not seem to be altered or improved upon with digital effects magic.Īnd, as a straight man, I'd have to admit Piolo is quite the eye-candy, even without having to take his shirt off at all (well, maybe just once, but it wasn't fan service).
