Evo & Grace: The WanderLusts

THERE Is a buzz lately that there is an oversupply of Condominium in Metro Manila, this in spite of reality that Condos are now here there in everywhere. Is it also a fact that many considers to have a certificate of lot  or title, rather than having a posh unit in a towering building in Makati, Manila or in Quezon City, but to some who’s kinda blessed enough financially, to have a house in a nearby province is a wish. Last March 15, from a friend connected to PrimeEast Properties, Inc, we got a chance to tour and explore the East, were the future high end City with majestic view of a lifetime is located,  of course with a budget friendly rates, no other than the Eastridge in the province of Rizal.

RATING: 4/5 By Trixie Dauz Contributor             Bambanti, when translated in English, means scarecrow. It is also a festival in Isabela province where the film is set, a festival coupled with dancing and a colorful façade. A scarecrow scares birds based on its outside appearance, with the birds thinking that it’s some kind of monster, thus preventing them from getting to the harvest. It is the perfect metaphor for the story of this film about making judgements based on outside appearances.               The premise of the film is simple. A dirt-poor mother and her boy who have been doing chores for their relatives (in-laws to be precise) as a means of earning money were in the wrong place at the wrong time. About 20-30 minutes into the film, a golden watch disappears, accusations are hurled, and the boy, a known prankster, was highly suspected to be th...

Upstart Productions present, Into the Woods By Aga Posadas Contributor Once upon a time, there was a story staged on Broadway with good music and concept. The creators put a modern and dark twist on several Brothers Grimm fairy tales. It was spectacular. It was even made into a film very recently. Then some Filipinos thought of staging Into the Woods with some of the great actors in the country. Here's the thing, I have a huge problem with Broadway plays produced in Manila, presented as it is, especially that the film version is still at the height of fame. It becomes just a showcase of the actors' talents. It's just like watching a local Sunday noon-time show. Upstart's production latest production is just like that.  It's like watching a school play with really exceptional acting. Staging it in a real garden, with real trees as the backdrop, was a very good idea. However, there was failure in other technical aspects. The props and costumes looked...
