Fmovie - Moments of Love (2006)



She lives in the past, he lives in the present, ..can love defy the bound of time?

In a sleepy lakeside town, time curves for two people to meet and part. In the end, all that is left are their Moments of Love.




Again, I had a really hard time finding movie stills on Moments of Love, just like I did with Eternity

I saw Eternity and Moments of Love back-to-back. Both are good in their own ways but it was Moments of Love won!



Moments of Love is has the same storyline of the two Korean movies, Il Mare and Ditto. Communicating with someone from the past/future in some kind of way. Very unexplainable.

Whether or not, how unrealistic it is. I still loved the movie. The acting is amazing. I already saw both Dingdong and Iza from Eternity but gosh, they have sizzling chemistry in this movie. And they are rarely shown together!



I officially want to see more Filipino movies

Fmovie - Eternity (2006)



Photos - Google
Synopsis - Filipino Movie Rentals

Eternity is an epic romance about a pair of star-crossed lovers Crisanto (Dingdong Dantes) and Milagros (Iza Calzado) and how true love transcends different lifetimes. In the face of family hostilities and atrocities, the two continue to fight for their love until the bitter end.

Cholo (Mark Herras) and Maegan (Jennylyn Mercado) are two different people with different backgrounds, finding each other as if by fate. It’s as if they’ve known each other all their lives! But the young lovers’ romance is thwarted by their respective families’ deep-rooted dislike for each other.

Will history repeat itself? Or will love finally conquer all the odds this time around?




Wow, I have such a hard time finding stills for this movie!!! I'm too lazy to make caps so I decided to find pictures of the four main stars.

My Pinay friend is awesome. We both have been trading movies. She suggested that I started to watch a few of her favorite Filipino movies. Why not? So she sent me two Filipino movies to watch. Although Eternity is not the first Filipino movie I've seen, it definitely is the first one that was recommended to me.

The first Filipino movie I've seen was Cavite. That's only because the Bollywood (Hindi) remade it. The Bollywood title is Aamir. Read my comparisons here at my Indian Cinema blog.



Filipino men are hot.

Dingdong Dantes. I don't love his name but his looks and acting make up for it! He is one of the most popular Filipino stars! He is famous for his acting and good looks.



See, he is a model too. Just check out the pic...



Iza Calzado is just simply breathtaking, just so gorgeous. She gave me a JLo vibe. She made her Hollywood debut in The Echo, which is a remade of her Filipino movie, Sigaw.



I like her acting and want to see more of her.



Then there's the other lead star, Mark Herras. He's attractive in his own ways and has a youthful look to him.



I adored his character on screen. Acting wise, I cannot say I would want to see more of him but I wouldn't mind.



Lastly, the other heroine of the film, Jennylyn Mercado. I really adore her. Not only is she gorgeous, she was the best, to me, out of everyone in the movie.



I started to read more about Jennylyn. From Wikipedia, I read about her real life scandals and struggles. Because of all that, I like her even more!! She is also a wonderful singer!



I love this pic of Mark & Jennylyn. They used to date too



I think I love movies too much. I already watch too many. Now add Filipino movies :)

IRIS - Best Korean drama ever!!!!!!!!



Photos & Synopsis - Asian Media Wiki

Two elite National Security System (NSS) agents, Hyeong-Jun (Lee Byung-Hun) and Sa-Woo (Jeong Jun-Ho), who were sworn blood brothers, both fall for fellow agent Seung-Hee (Kim Tae-Hee). Sa-Woo attempts to suppress his feelings for Seung-Hee and wishes the couple the best.

Hyeon-Jun is then sent off on a solo mission to Hungary. In Hungary, Hyeon-jun accomplishes his mission and while in escape mode becomes wounded. Shortly later, Hyeon-jun finds out that he was betrayed by fellow agent Sa-woo. Seung-Hee attempts to help Hyeon-Jun escape, but a car explosion separates the two and both are misled to believe that the other person are dead. Hyeon-Jun is then saved by an unknown voice and learns of the secret society "IRIS".

One year later, Hyeon-Jun returns to Korea to seek revenge. During this time, the two Koreas are set to reunify, while the group "IRIS" are intent on stopping the reunification.




Those who know me, I am very picky and selective when it comes to watching Korean dramas. I hate sappy, lovey-dovey stories.

I was hesitate to watch Iris first because I found it was a drama, not a movie. However, I thought, why not? It has T.O.P. I love Big Bang.



Oh. My. Freaking. Goodness. From the first episode, I was hooked!!!!!

Going into watching Iris for T.O.P., I came out a Lee Byung Hun fan!! For those who do not know, he is in the Hollywood movie, G.I. Joe.

On top of that, the first ever female girl crush from any movies/dramas is Kim Tae Hee. I love her character! She is gorgeous and strong. Love how she stood by her man and didn't fall for anyone else!



The other supporting casts were great too. Kim So Yeon had the better character/role but it was Hyeong-Jun & Seung-Hee's love that conquered it all for me.



I must watch again! That's how much I looooove it!!! I don't think I could love any other dramas as much as this. I was not bored at all with any episodes...and that's rare.
