This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

How does a lovely couple of five years get back together after breaking up?
..."hanggang ngayon umaasa pa rin ako na ako pa rin.. ako na lang.. ako na lang ulit"
That's the question the movie One More Chance tries to answer and the question that made us [I, Jc, Brooke and Ron] somehow teary. The good thing is that the film presents a situation that answers the question with more correctness than goofs.
After a very tiring night at work, the four of us braved the sunlight and waited for Megamall to open. Brooke needed an eye checkup and Ron needed to buy some stuffs while we [I and Jc] decided to just be the spice to complete the menu.
..."mahal na mahal kita..at ang sakit sakit na"
The couple central to the story is Popoy [John Lloyd Cruz] and Basha [Bea Alonzo] . Their story is given enough background-- they were college sweethearts who, after five years, get engaged. The conflict of the movie arises when Basha gets fed up with Popoy's controlling ways and opts to have more space and personal growth by breaking up with Popoy. Popoy, on the other hand, is devastated as his plans are quashed and deals with the break-up unwisely. The story moves forward and gets better at that point.
"ten seconds...ten seconds lang...."
What I like about the movie is the good exposition of how people these days deal with break-ups and how the people/environment that surrounds them [friends, family, work, etc.] is affected by the personal turmoil. What I don't like is the very weak supporting cast-- it was virtually a hodge-podge of vets and newbies that really do not make their marks in the movie. Also, I found the last third of the movie a bit too contrived to let the loose ends tie together sloppily.
..."she had me at my worst,u had me at my best...and u chose to break my my heart"
One More Chance has catchy and cool lines that will make you think and ponder. I had hesitations at first because I'm not really a fan of Tagalog movies. Peer pressure prompted me to bury my ass and watch it [not that bad though]. It is a movie where we - who have been in loved would appreciate and people would enjoy it for its honesty, good balance of tear-jerking moments and a solid performance by John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.
..."malaki lang ang katawan mo pero di mo ko kayang patumbahin"
And as always, here are some pictures to "One More Chance" the day.
"Kung nakaya ko, kaya mo rin. Naalala mo noong ako ang nandiyan? O, eh hindi ba't ikaw pa
nagsabi sa akin na baka kaya tayo iniiwan ng mga taong mahal natin, kasi baka merong bagong
darating na mas okay. Na mas mamahalin tayo, yung taong hindi tayo sasaktan at paaasahin.
Yung nag-iisang tao na magtatama ng mali sa buhay natin,
ng lahat ng mali sa buhay mo..."
