Congratulation Angel, you really deserve this success. Vindicated ka iha, dun sa mga nanlalait, naninira at mga umaalipusta saiyo. Shock sila kasi marami pa palang muling nagmamahal saiyo, minsan talagang may mga desisyon kang makakaapekto sa iyong buhay, pero kung may sense naman ang pinaglalaban mo, ito ang nakakamit ang tagumpay. Am I right, Angels?

GMA News Online reviews IN THE NAME OF
LOVE of ABS CBN’s Star
Cinema Here are some of the
excepts: (Bakit hindi nila
ginagawan ng review ang
sarili nilang GMA Films)
1. “Instead In The Name of
Love uses flashbacks like crazy, with the camera
focusing on an object of the
past (the music box, the
keychain) which dissolves
into a flashback.”
2. “It was too magical realist for comfort, out of place in
such a serious narrative,
and elicited laughter in the
almost filled theater.”
3. “It’s here where the flashbacks became messy.”
4. “Scenes were
interspersed with each
character’s breakdown monologue, and none of it
was needed.:
5. “A good script would ’ve sufficed, but here we were
forced to look at images:
what really happened the
last time Emman and Cedes
saw each other, Cedes
becoming a dancer / a mistress / a prostitute,
Cedes dancing for the
governor’s family.” 6. “The flashbacks also fail
the good acting that ’s here. ”
7. “The only thing worse
than the device of the
flashback is this movie ’s script.”
8. “There’s something wrong when a filled theater
laughs at Emman saying
that he’s too old for this game of unfinished
business with Cedes: a
laughter that ’s really about the narrative not quite
dealing with this fact of age.
The audience laughed too
when Emman auditioned to
be Cedes’ dance instructor and did some OA dancing
for good measure. They
laughed too when with a
gunshot wound, Emman
speed drove to save Cedes ’ life but was able to put on a
coat before getting out of
the car.”
9. “This movie bit off more
than it could chew,
happiness and sadness, real love and social realism, the
contemporary political
landscape, included. ” Link: http:// http://www.gmanews.tv/
