The Back-up Plan Review

Director: Alan Poul

Starring

Jennifer Lopez

Alex O'Loughlin

Noureen Dewulf

Melissa McCarthy

Eric Christian Olsen

Jennifer Lopez as Zoe is desperately wanting to have a child so she decided to have herself inseminated through a sperm bank. Unaware of her pregnancy, she met the "Cheese" guy Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) and they started dating. Until she found out she's pregnant, complications arose with Zoe apparently carrying twins!

The vibe of the film is the usual JLo Rom-Com flick ala Maid in Manhattan, The Wedding Planner and Monster In Law. The plotline is pretty unusual since the stage of dating to marriage to pregnancy was reversed. There are spot-on moments were Jennifer was really funny and her chemistry with Alex is truly undeniable. It's a feel good movie but is a bit forgettable. I'd give it a 5.5 / 10 ratings.

Regine Velasquez : Breaking The Diva Meter!

Surviving the entertainment industry for over 20 years, Regine has proven her stronghold to fame and success by constantly re-inventing herself and producing hits after hits may it be on television, films or her first love – music. She is a living icon who started from rags to riches. She’s no Cinderella but she represents that dream, that hope and that power to follow your dreams whatever hindrance there maybe.

Her voice is as powerful as her influence to the new generations of young singers who are hoping to mimic the success that she had and she’s still getting up until this time. She is the standard of success as she continuously gives inspirations thru her arts, a standard that only few could ever imagine reaching.

On her birthday today, I would like to salute Regine Velasquez for her tremendous contributions to the entertainment industry, for becoming the meter of success and for sharing her gift to everyone who has been touched by it.

YOU ARE THE NUMBER ONE DIVA REGINE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Clash Of The Titans Review

Director: Louis Leterrier

Starring

Sam Worthington

Mads Mikkelson

Alexa Davalos

Danny Huston

Gemma Arterton

Pete Postelthwaite

Ralph Fiennes

Liam Neeson

Where: SM North Edsa -Cinema 6 6:45PM

When: April 3, 2010

This movie as I found out prior to watching it is a remake of the 1981 film of the same title. I'm not that thrilled to watch it. I guess I'm just interested with all the effects and see Sam Worthington - his follow up film after Avatar which was shown last year and became the top grossing film in history.

I enjoyed the film tho I'm not really jumping off my seat. The visuals are ok --nothing spectacular. There's nothing exciting about it and nothing to rave about. It sure sound bordering to being boring but it's really not. The film is about 2 hours and you'd actually enjoy the visuals and it's fast pacing. Watching it is like going to the grocery store with the exact list of what you'd be buying. You'd even think that Sam Worthington who played the son of Zeus, Perseus actually looked like Jake (his character from Avatar)- i mean with the same hair and same demeanor. It's like he did the film while making Avatar.

Yes, it is a snooze fest.

Ratings: 4.5/10
