WALA na ngang urungan pa ang pagsasalpukan ng tatlong local movies sa November 13 (Wednesday) playdate – na bihira na ngang mangyari sa ngayon.
It will be Lovi Poe vs. KZ Tandingan vs. Yen Santos ang magiging eksena sa nasabing petsa dahil sabay-sabay na magbubukas sa mga sinehan sa buong bansa ang kanilang mga pelikula.
Ang movie ni Lovi ay ang romance-dramang The Annulment with Joem Bascon from Regal Entertainment, directed by Mac Alejandre (na ilang taon ring hindi nagdirek ng pelikula). “Pasabog” ang daring love scenes dito nina Lovi at Joem. Tungkol sa pagbi-break up ng mag-asawa ang pelikulang ito.
Ang singer na si KZ Tandingan ay susubukan ang pag-arte via her first film, The Art Of Ligaw, with Epy Quizon, under its first-time director Jordan Sebastian. From CoreMinds and MindFuel Productions (ni Epy), ang “hugot” movie na ito.
Lastly, sa Two Love You na romantic-comedy movie ni Yen Santos, leading man niya ang Hashtag member Kid Yambao, with Lassy Marquez. Si Yen ay huling napanood sa hit TV series na “Halik” ng ABS-CBN. Produced ito ng OgieD Productions ni Ogie Diaz, Lonewolf Films, at CMB Film Services.
Iba-iba naman ang target audience ng tatlong ito, kaya kahit na magsasalpukan sila sa box office, eh, suportahan po natin ang sariling atin.
