the girl demands and commands your attention, in the way she fearlessly engages people like she’s genuinely interested.
HOT ROD MOVIEICON TUMBLR SERIES
it was a series of quarantine interviews, on that online rise show especially. there was no single moment, no single decision. do not get me wrong, i trust star cinema and rise, i knew there was a reason why she was chosen. i alternated between not understanding why she was part of rise, and just not caring. i do not think i’ve even watched any of her movies before this. Gillian vicencio as alex (previously played by angel locsin) - this part of the post should come with a disclaimer: gillian is a favorite.
HOT ROD MOVIEICON TUMBLR MOVIE
i do not know who is responsible for that choice but it’s one of those lightbulb moments that came to me days after watching the movie and it was so smart! bobbie’’s major meltdown is bea’s in the first movie not alexa’s. what i initially found to be calmer meltdowns was bobbie trying to balance her selfless nature with the demands of her heart. she made herself smaller to accommodate the elder sister.

she bore the brunt of her mother’s micro-agressions. does that even make sense? basically, it was clear in the characterization and portrayals of both bobbies that both actresses played one person. alexa’s portrayal fueled the fire of bea’s adult bobbie. this is one of the few times returning to bea’s portrayal was helpful. this bobbie is quieter than i expected, comparing it to where bea’s bobbie ended up, steadier with a bit of restlessness. and that not knowing, not being able to foresee makes me nervous. and even if she could pull it off, i didn’t know how that would look, what alexa’s interpretation would be. we all know what happened with this love story, but for a moment there i was convinced they were endgame.Īlexa ilacad as bobbie (previously played by bea alonzo) - filling in bea alonzo’s shoes alone is a tall order, and while alexa has been a reliable young actress from that pantheon of going bulilit kids, to my mind, bea alonzo’s shoes were still too big even for someone as experienced. jameson was sturdy enough as jeremy to be at the receiving end of teddie’s ate and daddy issues. beyond kilig, teddie and jeremy’s love story is convincing. through direk mae’s lens, they were both glowing. it proves two things: charlie and jameson are reliable actors, and direk mae does romance so well it is stupefying. charlie’s chemistry with jameson who plays the highschool love is as strong as it is surprising. it took being a salazar to finally see her. i feel like this girl was waiting for that role that would flatter her, fit her like a glove, and it’s safe to say that this is it. as the eldest burdened by the expectations of being the eldest, eventually crushed by the inability to meet them, i believed charlie. if the viewer did not know any better, one would think it was charlie who provided the blueprint for toni instead of the other way around. back to being teddie, the girl aced toni’s outlandish character, and comedic beats, as well as her no nonsense, at times reckless bluntness. speech and diction, i am told, could improve, but for now, i feel like that speech and diction is helping her define herself (in ‘fangirl’ especially, which i am extremely excited about). i now understand that her charm and her skill stems from being as natural as possible, from not even trying. i stand by my feedback back then when i say, ‘she isn’t bad, she’s just a beginner and the contrast with the veteran actors clearly shows.’ i do not know what i was expecting of her back then, but by ‘a soldier’s heart’ i was surprised that she had moments, and those moments were impressive. as such, it should be understandable that her beginnings in the industry showed her as a greenhorn. i have watched the girl since ‘bagani,’ ‘seven sundays,’ and á soldier’s heart.’ the first two saw her trying to find her footing, pitted against more experienced actors. Charlie dizon as teddie (previously played by toni gonzaga) - my introduction and journey with charlie is an interesting one.
