- DirectorTony Y. ReyesStarsDolphyVic SottoCarmi MartinDobol Trobol is about Macario, an aging chef/security officer in an exclusive resort. Macario left his home due to frustration from his nagging wife, Gabriela. With the help of his best friend, he stayed at his resort to be a chef. Along came Arthur. He joins a gang hoping for a job. But to his surprise, it's a job set for robbery. The entire sequence is odd. Imagine a businessman in full professional attire, holding an attaché case. He walks out of a grill restaurant, not even a bank, being eyed for robbery by a gang. Suddenly, just like any other superhero, Arthur rescued the businessman against the thieves. Then he offered Arthur a job in the resort as a security guard. If you hated this premise, then you might have brought your brain. When Arthur arrived in the resort, he was mistaken as a guest by Mac. Arthur took advantage of the situation, asking for incredible demands. Mac was furious upon realizing that Arthur is a fellow worker. Worse, they will share one room. Then the rumble
- DirectorWenn V. DeramasStarsVice GandaLuis ManzanoGloria RomeroPeter Kasimsiman was once a submissive son to his parents. But losing his mother at a tender age, left him with an abusive father who only knew of tending to his carriage horse, Brown Beauty. Peter is eager to win the love and attention of his indifferent Tatay. But an unfortunate incident forces him to run away from home. His horrible life starts to change its course when he meets the nurturing haciendera Helena who provides him shelter and unconditional affection he knew his father would never be able to give. Helena teaches Peter love and kindness, grooming him as the sole heir to the hacienda in the event of her death. Albeit fueled with the guidance of the good-natured foster mother, who's known for her passionate concern for her employees, Peter has an intolerable bad temper especially towards her mother's loyal servant, Maita and the latter's beautiful and gifted daughter, Samantha. Peter's almost perfect life is threatened as people from the hacienda adore the beauty and goodwill of Samantha. These include the estate's striking horse trainer, Erickson, the good-looking veterinarian, Dickson and even the trusted estate horse, Sylvester. Add the unwanted presence of his long-lost sister, Peter's life seemed like an everyday living hell. Little did Peter know that Diobayo, the Goddess of Horses, watches every move he makes as he grows oblivious to other people and the surrounding horses' needs. To teach Peter a painful lesson, Diobayo cursed him transforming him into the horse, Petra, whenever he acts surly and proud. Will Peter choose to continue his grumpy personality? Or will he be able to use his 'horse instinct' to change for the better?

- DirectorBen StillerStarsBen StillerKristen WiigJon DalyWhen both he and a colleague are about to lose their job, Walter takes action by embarking on an adventure more extraordinary than anything he ever imagined.NOTES:
-Ben Stiller as Walter Mitty- a daydreaming, always-zoned-out negative assets manager (photographic department)
-cinematic trope of ordinary, life-less guy discovering himself, eventually becoming more "out there" and adventurous
-Kristen Wiig as Cherly -a Manic Pixie Dream Girl-lite (with child)- ready to give the ordinary and lifeless guy a second chance at living- more aware, earthier... happier
-soundtrack courtesy of Jose Gonzalez (Heartbeats)
-song playing while the sherpas were playing soccer?
-song during the credits?
-funny punchlines: Walter ditching the wallet and finding out the negative was there and having it back through her mom, the clementine cake, Todd from eHarmony salvaging him through airport security, "'I'm Lovin' It?', is from McDonald's, Papa John's, etc.
-really slow and uninteresting in the first half but picked up well after an hour
-themes: dreams, hope, adventure, finding yourself through past experiences, destiny/fate/serendipity, romance
