Project Baby, produced by Regal Entertainment, stands out as a refreshing modern take on the classic romantic comedy.  Directed by Eric Quizon and written by Jose Javier Reyes, the film successfully blends a nostalgic "throwback" vibe reminiscent of 90s and early 2000s rom-coms with a contemporary narrative that fiercely challenges societal expectations regarding family and female autonomy. At its heart is Sandy (Sue Ramirez), a career-driven Type A personality determined to start a family on her own terms, even if they defy traditional norms.  More than just a comedy, the film functions as an empowering anthem for single individuals and young professionals, encouraging viewers to shape their futures based on personal desire rather than social pressure.  This powerful premise leads to the film's provocative central question: when genuine feelings inevitably enter the equation, can a meticulously crafted life plan survive the intrusion of romance? Sue is pitch-perfect as S...

It's a nice movie, but Fyang caught my attention; she was a real revelation. I thought I would see her on screen doing cutesy scenes. But I was wrong. She was effortless in her emotional scenes. Never overact. I guess she's ready for big, dramatic roles.  Fyang Smith and JM Ibarra To be honest, I became interested in Fyang after four award-winning stars of Philippine movies - Michael de Mesa, Maricel Soriano, Dina Bonnevie, and Ara Mina - praised her acting skills last month. But that was for another project. Didn't one of these four stars say, 'The next best actress' in reference to Fyang? I just agree with this remark. JM is also good, but I think Fyang made a striking presence in the film. Yet I love the movie's theme: not being selfish and simply allowing things to happen without our control. It...
