Jane de Leon is the new Darna

After months of searching, a new actress was cast in the coveted role of Darna for the upcoming film remake of Mars Ravelo's beloved superhero story.

ABS-CBN Films managing director Olivia Lamasan told ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, July 17, that 20-year-old Jane de Leon has been chosen to play the iconic superhero out of 300 celebrities who auditioned.

She said that choosing Jane was a unanimous decision.

"'Yung Darna story natin ngayon (Our Darna story now) is a genesis story, a coming of age [story]. Ang requirement talaga (The requirement really) is somebody na (who is) young and with an air of innocence, but at the same time strength of character,” Olivia said.

There's no word yet on when the film will start production, but director Jerrold Tarog is eyeing a late 2020 release.

Just saw "Ang babae sa septic tank 3" , it's a web series on iwant.ph ok naman, a few laughs here and there, but it got really tiresome by the end.

Hello, Love, Goodbye (Cathy Garcia-Molina) *** - A young Filipino woman working in Hong Kong meets a young bartender. She's about to complete her contract and go to greener pastures in Canada. Normally, I wouldn't go for this type of film. And it's by Cathy Garcia-Molina, so seeing her name normally makes me go to the opposite direction, having seen a few of her past films. But this one, to her credit, has a bit more substance. There's a compelling drama here about the plight of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW's) but blended with the formulaic romantic-dramedy that is her bread and butter. They do the usual "hugot" emotional romantic scene in the end where they telegraph every emotion through overly written emotional speeches each trying to out-romance each other. But it's still a solid drama before that.

meron ako narinig sa isang friend kung bakit mas gusto nya panoorin sa cine mga pinoy films compare sa mga holywoods. kasi daw pag pinoy films taon ata bago lumabas ang official digital copy, samantalang pag holywood daw mabilis.

TBH, I didn't even know this was a thing. I want to add that I think I finally know the difference between Kathryn Bernardo and Nadine Lustre now. LOL.

BTW, for those of you who has seen Hello, Love, Goodbye, did anyone else feel that the initial pitch for this movie was a narrative version of the Sunday Beauty Queen documentary and it morphed into this? I felt that.

Eerie starring Bea Alonzo and Charo Santos. Maganda yung simula pero pagkatapos, nakakasawa na yung scare tactics at manipis ang plot. May pa-twist ending pa that doesn't make sense. Pero ang biggest sin would be ... naming the film Eerie because the ghost is Eri(ca) and her surname is Sayco, which sounds like Psycho, as in "Eerie Psycho". Hindi ko alam kung nagpapatawa ba or feeling witty yung writers

The Philippines' Oscar entry next year is Verdict. You still have time to catch it today since it's an exhibition-only screening at the PPP.

I did. It's the best Brillante Mendoza film not directed by Brillante Mendoza (though he produced and served as creative consultant). Probably my third favorite Filipino film this year behind John Denver Trending and Lola Igna.

It won't stand a chance against Parasite this year though.

Unforgettable (Jun Robles Lana/Perci Intalan) *** - A young woman who's in the spectrum finds a stray dog who resembles her grandmother's past dog, who she believed somehow saved her life once, and decides to take a long road trip to Baguio to take it to her believing that he may save her life once again. Believe it or not, this film actually kind of reminds me a bit of the Paddington movies in the way it depicts kindness. Depicting kindness on film or any dramatic medium can often come off as preachy, maudlin or corny. But this film managed to mostly avoid that. The result is a sweet, sometimes funny, often moving and wholesome film that has the ability to reach even cynical cross-armed skeptics. Sarah Geromino is fantastic as well. Yeah, this is a pleasant surprise.

For my 1000th blog post: thoughts on arguably one of the greatest films Filipino or otherwise ever made, Manuel Silos' Biyaya ng Lupa (Blessings of the Land, 1959).

Kalel, 15 (Jun Robles Lana) ***1/2 - A teenage boy finds out he is HIV-positive and that's just the start of events that will send his life into a spiral. It seems like it's the year of the teenage coming-of-age films in Philippine cinema. All the best films of the year seem to be about teenagers growing up in difficult and at times troubling situations. This joins that list. Shot in black and white, which gives it an almost dream-like feel, this harrowing film highlights a problem in Philippine society that is sadly (and disturbingly) not being addressed too much in the mainstream. It features excellent naturalistic performance from the male lead with terrific support from veterans Jaclyn Jose and the late Eddie Garcia (in, I believe, his final film role). It is indeed one of the best Filipino films of the year.
