Last Wednesday August 15, 2012 is the first day showing of a romance-drama film "Just One Summer", and I got a chance to attend the special screening at Gateway Mall Cinema 1 7PM with other bloggers and supporters of the film. In fact I was so excited also to watch the movie because I like Julie Anne in Party Pilipinas and saw her live performing on stage at OMG Yahoo! Awards.
Just One Summer was directed by Mac Alejandre and starred by a love-team teen sensation Julie Anne San Jose and Elmo Magalona. The movie is about a rich and rebellious son Niel (Elmo) that spends summer with his father Dan's (Joel Torre) farm together with them is Dan's mistress Melissa (Cherry Pie Picache). At first Neil hates to be with his father because he accuse that, his father left them for a farm only. But when he met again his childhood friend Beto (Julie Ann) the world turns 180 degrees and all are change for good because Beto always there for him and him for her amidst family problem and conflicts.
I like the movie because Julie Anne didn't fail my expectations, because after i saw the movie, i can say that she is a versatile artist from singing, dancing and now she did it in the big screen, BIG Time. Her tears are flowing instantly specially in drama scenes and she can delivered a long dialogue with enormous feeling. Elmo was good also, however, he's hesitant to gave more feelings in acting with his long dialogue esp. with the scenes together with his mother Leona (Alice Dixson). Aside from the fact that he's soooo cuteee.. the confrontation scene with his drunk father is very good and of course the scenes with Julie Ann. They are more comfortable and can deliver great acting if they were together, I think it really comes out natural because they have special feelings for each other. I can definitely see it in they're eyes on and off screen. Why did I say that? its just because they surprised their fans right after the movie ended and enter the Cinema 1.. and the rest follows...excitement here and there...shouting JuliElmo everywhere..the crowd just really loved them..And they render a song and act live for them to say thank you and show how much they love their fans.
"The movie is still showing in theaters nationwide..See the powerhouse cast film directed by Mac Alejandre also stars Joel Torre, Alice Dixson, Gloria Romero, Buboy Garobillo, Betong Sumaya, Maey Bautista, Sheena Halili, Steven Silva, Diva Montelaba, Lexi Fernandez, Jhoana Marie Tan and many more under GMA Films.
