Give CRY NO FEAR a Chance

Donnalyn Bartolome, Ella Cruz and Director Richard Sommes

It’s been a week or so since Cry No Fear was shown in cinemas. I watched it together with a couple of bloggers during their premier night. Viva artists came in throngs and celebrity friends supported them dearly. Honestly I expected that I wouldn’t enjoy this film because I don’t really watch horror flicks. They did surprise me - as this runs more on the sexy, coming of age, suspense genre rather than just plain horror. It would be worthy to watch especially if you are a fan of Donnalyn Bartolome and Ella Cruz as you’ll see them unfold their sexy side. Not even joking.

I like the chases, I like the action sequences and the little to no bloody shots, but would have wanted more than that. The ending wasn’t too impressive too as parts of it weren’t realistic. It would have been better to keep the highs still high and perhaps ended it with that rather than forcibly connecting the start of the story.

Donnalyn and Ellla

Donnalyn and Ella used to be in cute roles, this would maybe start them in more mature ones because it felt like that.

 

 

Would I recommend it, perhaps for the fans. Give it a chance though because it is still fun.

Cry No Fear is still showing in select theaters, this is produced by Viva Films.

Sat down at Glorietta 2's activity area for AQUAFINA's Best Begins Now event. I was in the midst of radio dj's from Magic 89.9 and Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach for a one of a kind talk because they didn't want this generation to wait in order to achieve their dreams, they want you to do it NOW.

They shared their experience in food styling, pageantry, how to build confidence and fashion design. It's sharing how to be the best version of themselves.

Pia says "I always think of what's next, acting in ABSCBN, writing a book, all things that are new to me after going through a lot."

These experts spent time talking about hosting, personality development, beauty, content creation and in a general sense to be the best version of themselves. They know this generation has lots of potential and they don't want you to waste time.
