A Very Special Love..Blog

My sister, mother and I were talking about catering services this morning when we saw this trailer of the upcoming movie of a certified matinee idol with a budding singer-actress princess. Yes, it's called A VERY SPECIAL LOVE, just like how other Pinoy romantic movies acquire its soundtrack and movie title from a love song. Usually, we'd just flip the channels and display the couldn't-care-less drama since we don't really find strength in the concept of what local movies develop, especially the mainstream ones (just make that me). I've slightly brainwashed my sister and mother that these movies just showcase the same hullaballoo only pertaining in difference with the character personalities and backgrounds. At some rate, they even use the same love teams over and over again. We've assumed that the usual Pinoy romantic movies are only there to satiate the dreaming fans rather than to exhibit good acting and plot displays.

However, this specific movie made us stop what we're doing and literally we got glued to the trailer. Aside of course the proven acting prowess of John Lloyd Cruz, that developed through time (not to mention he's a very clean-cute-matinee-Aga Muhlachish type), it's surprising for us to see Sarah Geronimino in a lead movie role. We only know her as this powerful singer that's often cheeky and humble. When their tandem was publicized, we were interested. We instantly felt that they would offer something different. And you know what, based on the trailer, she is damn funny! Excuse me Mr. John Lloyd Cruz, but probably in this movie, I'd be more interested to watch it because of Sarah Geronimo. She seems funny enough to know what she's doing and let's face it, they look cute together. She's not the type to mess up like some wanna be actress with only a pretty face to boot (And no, I'm not talking about Bea Alonzo, geez. Some startlet probably). Sarah's natural; and on screen they really complement each other.



After the trailer we voiced out our opinions and it seemed all of us wanted to watch the movie. It is definitely a smashing sign, but we won't definitely watch it together, lest we jinx it. The last Pinoy movie we saw together, out of boredom, was Aga Muhlach's A Love story with Angelica Panganiban and Maricel Soriano; and it teaches us a hard lesson never to go on a movie impulse ever again. Excuse the language, but it kind of sucked. Well in this case, I'm expecting something good with A VERY SPECIAL LOVE.

A Very Special Love needs a Very Special bribing with Mitch, for a movie date that is.

Just Promoting, A Very Special Love shows toda. And just in case you're wondering, I'm humming the theme song as I type. Yikes. Give me the antidote!
