A Very Special Love trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QevHUaSVp-w

Laida is a modern-day Belle. She works hard to provide for her family while believing that someday she will meet her prince charming and they will live happily ever after together. That prince charming is none other than Miggy Montenegro, the youngest of the Montenegro clan—a well established family in the business world. Laida dreams of meeting Miggy every day and every night. These dreams lead her to apply as an Editorial Assistant at Miggy’s newly established men’s magazine Bachelor despite it being a long shot, hoping that working in the company will allow her to be close to the man who invades her dreams every night.
By some sort of luck, Laida lands the job. Overwhelmed by the being in the presence of her crush, and by her instant employment, Laida remains blind to the fact that the Miggy she dreams of is very different from the real one. Miggy in person is a hothead who thinks he’s always right. The word “sorry” doesn’t mean anything to him. Everyone is scared of him, except Laida, who is always ready to defend her dream man. Blindly she caters to his whim, even when he sent her to be his proxy on his date with his girlfriend, breaking her heart a little. Her co-workers question her unrelenting dedication to such a monster but when Laida proves quite loyal to the man, gossip about Laida’s feelings for their boss starts to circulate. Laida, to defend herself, unwittingly reveals information about Miggy’s personal life which earns her his ire. Being shouted at for the first time by the man she dreams of opens Laida’s eyes to reality. And her awakening in turn leads to Miggy’s rude awakening of why people do not like him.

No one has ever talked back to Miggy before. No one dared tell him their opinions and or suggestions. Miggy was always right and that’s how he likes it. But when Laida, a simpleton who just follows his every command tells him to his face that he is wrong, Miggy begins to wonder if the reason for his failures could actually be him. For the first time Miggy apologizes. And this opens the door to a whole new world of a lot of “firsts” for Miggy. With the help of Laida, Miggy slowly learns to be a teamplayer. With the help of Laida, Miggy slowly learns the value of loyalty.

But Miggy’s conflict with his siblings keeps pulling Miggy back to his old ways, and not even Laida’s presence in his life can clear the shadow casted on him by his family. Laida does everything she knows just to help Miggy at the expense of time with her family. As Laida and Miggy’s fight to save the magazine become more intense, so is their fight to keep their intentions and emotions at bay. Will Laida and Miggy ever figure out the right combination to solve their problems in business and in their personal lives? Or will their mismatching personalities, despite their common interest and goal keep them from ever figuring out their perfect pair?

FOR THE FIRST TIME Official Full Trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYoqjEWQ6lc

It follows the lives of two individuals from very different worlds. Seth (Richard) is a rich, impulsive playboy who runs away from serious relationships and doesn't give much thought to the women he goes out with. Pia (KC), meanwhile, is a prude, ambitious girl who feels responsible for the tragedy that has befallen her life.

It is the story of how love changes people. A rake is transformed into a committed gentleman because of love. And a woman who refuses to fall in love and suppresses her emotions by putting up a front decides to take another chance.

When Seth and Pia meet by accident in Santorini, they spend an unforgettable summer together, until Seth runs away.

In Manila, they are reunited. But will he be able to win Pia? What will prevail: the head or the heart?

the film is a bit too long, there are several moments that could be deleted without much effect. Also the quality of the picture and sound is understandably not up to western standards.there are technical glitches that need to be fixed, and with digital technology editing may still be possible, e.g. scenes that are too dark or the screen going black for too long.

Cinematography (glossy pictures pleasant to the eyes/high definition (HD) )
Setting (beautiful sceneries/paintlike pictures)


i highly recommend this film

Dubai Trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhzaPXm_j4

Raffy and Andrew were orphaned as kids and had only each other to depend on.
Wanting a better future, Raffy has spent the last nine years of his life working in Dubai. His ultimate goal is to fulfill a lifelong dream : to eventually move to Canada, with his younger brother, Andrew, where their mother once worked. For the meantime, his job in a courier service company, keeps him in touch with and popular among Filipino overseas workers.
Until he sends for Andrew to also work in Dubai.



The Alvarez brothers are united. Andrew is mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the country, but more relieved to be finally with Raffy, his brother, provider and defender. And in the company of Raffy's Filipino group of friends, he is well-received like family. Then Andrew meets Faye, one of Raffy's many girlfriends in Dubai.
Faye and Andrew hit it off well in spite of their age difference. She becomes his guide, comfort and lover. Seeing the two however, Raffy realizes that he still loves Faye. Sacrificing his feelings for her feels more heavy than all the sweat and tears he had to live through in order to fend for Andrew all these years.

When Andrew discovers that his brother still loves Faye, conflict arises between the brothers, almost severing the ties that bind them, and threatening the achievement of their personal goals in Dubai. In the end, what they choose and achieve are not as planned. But their experiences in Dubai lead to new beginnings in their lives.
Dubai is a touching, intimate story of is the story of two brothers, the woman who goes between them, and the sacrifices people make for their loved ones set in the cosmopolitan city of Dubai -- a modern-day paradise in the middle of the scorching Arabian desert, a haven for Filipino overseas workers...

caregiver full trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RXFka6Xl50
Caregiver is about the story of Sarah, a grade school teacher who decides to give up teaching for a more financially-rewarding career as a caregiver in London. As she takes care of other people, who will take care of Sarah herself? It is likewise said that many Filipinos have decided to ingest the grim feeling of separation for a better income abroad. Indeed caregiving jobs are among the greatest appeal for job opportunities in overseas. Filipinos are being preferred aside from other Asian countries which offer the same services precisely because of our custom practices in which taking care of our own elders has become a way of life.
The sacrifices of our OFW’s who are tirelessly working away from our shores are borne out of collective efforts to sustain the economic and security needs of the family. In terms of live’s lost, maltreatment, abandonment, and among others, our modern heroes have a big share of them. Indeed, many of our migrant women's anecdotes on sex trafficking, domestic violence, sexual harassment, unjust working conditions and discrimination.
To this end, the Caregiver Movie only depicts how strong and humane Filipinos are when it comes to taking care of the patient despite the glowing emotional pain that pricks around.


I think Anak(Vilma Santos) is better than that,but i like that movie as well.
