TV Review: 'Mara Clara', Tunay na Kaabang-abang!!!

Posted: 17 Jan 2011 04:47 AM PST

Kung noong 1990s na-aliw at tinutukan ng husto ng buong Pilipinas ang 'Mara Clara', hindi rin magpapahuli ang bagong 'Emil Cruz's Mara Clara' ngayon.


Hinde nagkamali ng desisyon ang ABS-CBN na muling ibalik sa TV ang 'Mara Clara' na tinaguriang Ina ng Pinoy Soap Opera. Ayon sa Nationwide TV Ratings ng TNS, ang 'Emil Cruz's Mara Clara' ang kasalukuyang Number 1 TV show sa buong Pilipinas. Kung noon napahanga tayo nina Judy Anne Santos (Mara) at Gladys Reyes (Clara), hinde rin magpapahuli sa husay at galing sa pag-arte ang mga bagong Mara at Clara na sina Kathryn Bernardo at Julia Montes.

Sinusubaybayan ko talaga ang teleseryeng ito mula noon hanggang ngayon dahil aliw na aliw ako talaga rito lalo na sa pagmamaldita ni Clara. Fan talaga ako ni Clara kasi she knows how to play the game very well, and like her I am maldita and cool din. Yes being Maldita is cool, it's a trend. Isang henyong ideya ang paglagay sa character na Lupe na wala sa original version nito. Nakadagdag aliw ang character na ito lalo pa at si Ms. Gina Pareno ang gumaganap nito, na talaga namang bigay na bigay sa pag-arte bilang isang malditang Lola ni Mara ngunit mapag-mahal na Ina nina Garry at Karlo. Mahusay rin ang pag-ganap nina Jhong Hilario (Garry), Dimples Romana (Elvira), Mylene Dizon (Susan) at Kiray (Desiree, The Violet Lady). Refreshing at nakakakilig naman ang love angle nina Mara at Christian, played by Albie Casino, na talaga namang ikinakatuwa ng mga tweens at mga tween at hearts.

Dismiyado naman ako sa performance ni Bobby Andrews (Amante) parang hinde niya naibibigay ng todo, wala eh, di ko maramdaman siya bilang Amante, mas magaling pa sa kanya si Kiray. Parang kulang pa sa aliw factor si Chokoleit (CG) o naninibago lang ako na di masyadong nagpapatawa siya rito kumpara sa mga dati niyan teleserye. Desiree del Valle is good naman pero pansin ko puro kabit ang nagiging role niya, na para sa akin ay nagiging predictable na ang kanyang pag-arte. Naaaliw-aliw naman ako dahil paiba-iba ang school, basketball court at canteen sa serye, oo nga at nakakaaliw pero nakakalito para sa mga loyal TV viewers ang papaplit ng locations.

Oo nga at di perpekto ang teleseryeng ito pero ang mahalaga ay naaliw ka, napaiyak ka at napangiti ka nito. Sa totoo lang hinde pa rin nawawala ang karisma at magic ng teleseryeng ito. At ngayon pa lamang ay inaabangan ko na ang mga kapana-panabik na mga pasabog na eksena at rebelasyon sa teleseryeng ito. Kung pupuwede nga lang ako muna ang magtago ng diary upang di pa malantad ang lihim at nang tumagal pa ang kaabang-abang na teleseryeng ito.

Ang 'Emil Cruz's Mara Clara' ay umeere mula Lunes-Biyernes after 'Noah' at before 'Imortal' sa Primetime Bida ng ABS-CBN.

Tom Felton Not Part of Epilogue Reshoot for 'Deathly Hallows 2'

Posted: 16 Jan 2011 09:09 PM PST

In his recent interview, Tom Felton, playing the role of Draco Malfoy, in the upcoming 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 2', revealed that he was not part of the Epilogue scene reshoot.

He said:

"Believe it or not, I got left off the hook. Apparently, the shot setup didn't require my presence, so I was let off the hook at the last minute. I got all excited about going back, but I heard everything went swimmingly and everything is looking fantastic."

Last Summer, they did shot the epilogue scene where the lead actors, including Tom, were playing the role of mid 30's wizards and witches. But producer David Heyman was not satisfied with the screen result especially with the make-up, thought too-old for the characters, was like they were 60's. Weeks after the US release of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1', David called for a reshoot, which was happened almost a month ago. Photos from the set were released online and many fans liked the new look of the lead character Harry Potter, and thought it as better and perfect.




On the said interview, it was mentioned that one of the biggest scene of Tom in 'Deathly Hallows 2' was when he did hug Harry Potter.

Aside from music and 'Harry Potter', Tom is also part of the upcoming films 'Caesar: Rise of the Apes', to release in June, and 'The Apparition', out this fall.
