In the colorful and exciting world of the Baguio music scene, Garie and Rocky share the perfect romance. Garie is a backup singer, while Rocky is a keyboardist they are members of a band that is all set to go to Japan for a contractual gig. Happily in love and brimming with dreams of a future together, Garie and Rocky believe that nothing can come between them; not even the fact that Rocky comes from one of Baguio’s richest and oldest clans, while that Garie only has humble roots. They exchange promises that no matter what happens, they will not let anything get in the way of their love.
Not to knock, features from the Philippines, but the premise, the plot, and the story are almost always the same.. boy meets girl, boy loses girl, and then boy tries to win her back. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed this film, it features two of the Philippines rising stars, attractive and talented Kristine Hermosa and Jericho Rosales. Both provide stellar performances and I look forward to seeing their future work. Viewing this film may require some background understanding about Philippine films, and their story lines. If you can live through several, I mean several dramatic moments, then you may enjoy this film as I did. The setting is in Cebu, one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines and there's plenty of scenic shots that reflect the natural beauty of this part of the country. The weather in this region is a bit cooler, therefore don't be surprised to see them wearing bonnets, jackets, and sweaters. There are even scenes shot in Japan where Mount Fuji was a constant backdrop, eye candy galore. I would recommend this film based on the performances, the scenery, as well as the directors style in capturing dramatic and important moments by shooting in slow motion.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
