Movie Review: The Third Party

Image courtesy of Instagram: starcinema

Director: Jason Paul Laxamana
MTRCB Rating: R13
Released by: Star Cinema

For the first time, a gay-themed movie tackles gay relationship in a different light, more humane, with no unnecessary hysterics and over drama that often seek to exploit their unique relationship.

Andi (Angel Locsin) and Max (Sam Milby) were college sweethearts who eventually broke up when Max decided to pursue medical studies abroad. Lost and heartbroken, Andi gets on with her life doing events while leveling up as an aspiring fashion designer.

Years after, Andi excitedly reconnects with Max, now a doctor, who introduces her to a fellow doctor, Christian (Zanjo Marudo), Max’s boyfriend. Andi was crashed and devastated. The Third Party revolves around these characters and the travails and humor in the lives of a freshly-minted gay couple.

Max and Christian live together as a couple, looking like ordinary man-woman who have deep love and respect for each other. But their resolve gets tested when they unwittingly invite Andi into their lives, forming an odd set-up like never before.

The arrangement, ’though indeed awkward, is made light in the way director Jason Paul Laxamana presented it. The scenes, as casual as the ones at the dining room and as delicate as those in the bedroom, are presented tastefully, careful not to offend the senses. There are tons of laughter and humor without necessarily negating the essence of the story and what it hopes to achieve.

The scenes are cute and downright funny, enough to excite the audience while roar with laughter at the same time. In particular, that scene of Andi and Christian having a good time at a karaoke bar was a riot. How Andi gets into Christian and Max’s lives and the utter confusion (and chaos) that follow will definitely keep the viewers in stitches.

Alongside the humor and funny antics, the characters have their share of emotional outbursts, too, as they deal with the complexities of their situation and family issues.

In terms of acting, the three lead stars did not disappoint. Without a doubt - Angel, Sam and Zanjo proved their mettle in this movie. Drama actress Angel pulled in a pleasant surprise as a natural in comedy. Zanjo is slowly but surely evolving into a versatile young actor. As the controlling gay Christian, he calls the shots, even to the sensitive decisions that his indecisive partner Max cannot handle.

Director Jason Paul Laxamana’s indie background is seen in his prudent approach into the lives of gays, their relationships and family.  It is heartwarming how crucial the family’s role is in the midst of the characters’ major conflicts. Andi’s odd relationship with her mom (Cherrypie Picache), along with their emotional confrontation quite illustrate the fact.

The movie’s screenplay likewise deserves credit for its originality and modern, crisp dialogues that give it more credibility. Indeed, words have power.

In the end, how the protagonists will deal with their issues and the truth in between bring excitement as the story takes a few surprising turns. Therefore, be prepared to be (pleasantly) shocked.

Also starring in the movie are Beauty Gonzalez, Matet de Leon, Al Tantay, Alma Moreno, Carla Martinez, Chung Sa Jung, Maris Racal, Odette Khan, Trina Legaspi. The Third Party is showing simultaneously in cinemas nationwide. Catch it!

Cannot Defy The Reality of Getting Old


In the entertainment industry, two possible factors could enable one to have a career. The first is talent, and the second is connection. For several talents, the latter is the best route to establish a career. Stories of particular actors being wards of powerful personalities are common. People are no longer surprised when certain actors conquer juicy roles in projects, as the assumption is that such actors have hooked up with directors or producers.

For so many years, Versatile Talent (VT) has enjoyed a stable career by being included in all the projects of Creative Director (CD). Even if VT only were to play a supporting role, his presence was still noted in the projects of CD. This consistent appearance fueled rumors that something deep was happening between the two. However, CD remained mum on the matter.

While VT comes from a well-established family, his followers believe that he does have a fallback in case his showbiz career would not work out. VT could always go home and pursue the family legacy. However, even if such option was available, VT opted to make a mark in the entertainment industry.

When CD left, VT’s life was never the same. Unlike before when he was assured of projects, this time, VT had no sense of security. Although he tried his luck in other stations, he would still return to his home network and try to be loyal.

As he would never be able to rekindle the relationship he had with CD, VT still hopes that any of the hotshot directors of his network would have the heart to take him. Often, VT has been observed to hang out where the powerful gay executives of his network spend time. With fingers crossed, VT wished he would be noticed, but no one has given him much attention unfortunately. Unlike before when his presence in CD’s projects would not be questioned, now, VT has to take the longer route and work hard to earn a slot. Even if he has talent and loyalty, the executives are not attracted, as there are fresher, younger, and more able-bodied actors in their vicinity.

‘You have to think of your career the way you look at the ocean, deciding which wave you're gonna take and which waves you're not gonna take. Some of the waves are going to be big, some are gonna be small, sometimes the sea is going to be calm. Your career is not going to be one steady march upward to glory.’ – Alan Arkin

Newest “Pantasya ng Bayan” Kim Domingo was introduced as the 2017 Calendar Girl of Ginebra San Miguel Inc. (GSMI) in a grand reveal held at the Sequoia Hotel in Quezon City recently.

The up-and-coming French-Pinay sexy actress joins the ranks of popular models and actresses who have graced the Ginebra San Miguel calendars through the years, including Ellen Adarna (2015), two-time calendar girl Marian Rivera (2009 and 2014), Georgina Wilson (2013), Solenn Heusaff (2012), Anne Curtis (2011), and her predecessor Arci Munoz (2016).

Kim shared that it has always been her dream to be an actress, and now that she is part of Ginebra San Miguel’s prestigious roster of brand ambassadors, she hopes that this will open up more opportunities to let her talent shine.

“Kim definitely personifies our marketing campaign, ‘Ganado Sa Buhay’. She worked her way up to become one of the most recognizable faces in the entertainment industry today. Her story is an inspiration to every hardworking Filipino,” Ginebra San Miguel Brand manager Paolo Tupaz said.

“Even when I was younger, I already had specific goals in life; I knew what I wanted to be and what I wanted to accomplish. Being an only child, I also learned to be strong and independent early on. I’m very grateful that my hard work and perseverance are starting to bear fruit now. So for our ka-barangays, I just want to send a message that if we remain strong, focused and ‘Ganado sa Buhay’, we will be able to achieve our goals and dreams,” Kim said.

Kim started her showbiz journey when she joined Eat Bulaga’s “Little Miss Philippines”. Since then, she has joined several other talent reality competitions and landed modeling gigs. She rose to fame with her viral videos on YouTube, lip-syncing “Twerk It Like Miley” and dancing to the “Trumpets” challenge, which got almost two million views.

More than just a pretty face, the fast-rising star is also a girl of many talents. Aside from hosting, dancing, and throwing punch lines in the top-rating gag show “Bubble Gang”, Kim is also a recording artist, having just released her debut single, “Know Me”, under GMA Records.

GSMI has released five layouts for its 2017 calendar with a “Cheeky and Geeky” theme, showing Kim’s fun and quirky side.

GSMI flagship brand Ginebra San Miguel has been enjoyed by many for over 180 years and remains the no. 1 selling gin in the world, according to leading global drinks journal Drinks International. Other GSMI products are GSM Blue, GSM Blue Flavors, Ginebra San Miguel Premium Gin, Don Enrique Mixkila, Antonov Vodka, Vino Kulafu and Primera Light Brandy.

Repost: Albie CasiΓ±o Has No Plans for Court Action Against Andi Eigenmann

Actor Albie CasiΓ±o is moving forward after being cleared from the paternity issue of actress Andi Eigenmann’s daughter, Ellie.

In an interview on Thursday at the blog conference for his upcoming movie, “The Escort,” CasiΓ±o said he has no plans of taking legal action over the paternity issue, which hampered the early parts of his career as an actor. 

“Hahaba pa ‘yung proseso eh, you know what I mean? (The process would take long, you know what I mean?)” he explained. “I’m just so happy to be done with it. I don’t have to worry about them. My name is not associated with them anymore.”

He continued: “I think that was the worst thing for me, when people heard my name [and said], ‘Oh yeah, he is the dad of the kid.’ You know what I mean? But now, no one thinks that anymore… I’m happy that people can talk about the issue and not talk about me anymore.”

CasiΓ±o said he already had a feeling that he is not the father of Eigenmann’s child, but he did not burn bridges with the actress just in case he was wrong. 

“I just wanted to be civil with her (Eigenmann). Of course I was never sure, I asked for a DNA test. I didn’t get a DNA test. I had a feeling it wasn’t my baby, but I was never sure,” he said.

“I wanted to build a good relationship just in case, a plan B, just in case it was actually my kid,” he added. “So we would be on good terms and stuff. But like now, I don’t have to worry about it anymore [because] it’s not my kid,” he added. 

With the issue out of the way, CasiΓ±o is happy that he can now focus more on his career. 

When asked if he feels vindicated by the revelation that he is not Ellie’s father, the actor replied: “I don’t think anyone can win in that situation… Whatever happens now, bahala na sila doon, wala na akong pakialam doon (Whatever happens now, they can deal with it, I don’t care).”

Repost: President Rodrigo Duterte Reveals He Was Denied a US Visa

President Rodrigo Duterte said he was once denied a United States visa when he planned to visit a girlfriend in college.

Speaking to the Filipino community in China’s capital on Wednesday, Duterte complained that Americans can enter the Philippines visa-free when Filipinos have a hard time securing a travel document to visit the US.

“America? Miski ako hindi ako makapunta doon, hindi ako bigyan ng visa ng mga…” he said.

He narrated that he was asked what would happen if he decided to marry and stay in the US.

“Sabi ko, ‘Mr. Consul, even if you offer me free visas for a lifetime and even if you offer me 10,000 dollars, I’d still return to my country and be a Filipino,’” Duterte recalled and the crowd broke into cheers.

“The problem is, you go to America? You’ll not be issued a visa,” he stressed his point.

He shared that a local government official was also denied a visa although he was invited to an event by the US government itself.

“The poor man had to travel. He was in poor health. Pagdating dito [US Embassy], he was denied. Pero sila anytime. They enter the Philippines visa-free. Well, there will always be a time for reckoning. Bakit hindi natin tablahin?” Duterte said and gave a faint smile.

Duterte had been releasing tirades against US, after American officials expressed concern over the spate of drug-related deaths since the new administration came in.

US President Barack Obama previously advised Duterte to fight crime the right way, after the former Davao City mayor cursed right before flying to Vientiane, Laos for the ASEAN Summit. A bilateral meeting between the two leaders was canceled after Duterte blurted out expletives. — BAP/KG, GMA News
