Revolutionary Road 2008

"A young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children. Based on a novel by Richard Yates."

young, thriving couple living with their two children in a Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. Their self-assured exterior masks a creeping frustration at their inability to feel fulfilled in their relationships or careers. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job, and April is a housewife still mourning the demise of her hoped-for acting career. Determined to identify themselves as superior to the mediocre sprawl of suburbanites who surround them, they decide to move to France where they will be better able to develop their true artistic sensibilities, free of the consumerist demands of capitalist America. As their relationship deteriorates into an endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations, their trip and their dreams of self-fulfillment are thrown into jeopardy.

Judai on reconciliation of Piolo and Ryan, and Robin...

Piolo Pascual: ‘I’m happy na wala ako’ng kaaway’

It seems Piolo Pascual and Judy Ann Santos are bound to cross paths again as they are both included in the guest list of Ogie Alcasid’s showbiz anniversary concert this month. Contrary to the circulating rumors, however, the country’s ultimate heartthrob has no problem dealing with his former onscreen partner. He even reiterates the fact that he recently bumped into Judy Ann and her fiancé, Ryan Agoncillo, during a connecting flight at the Dubai airport. “Nagkasabay kami ng flight galing ng Paris (for the 6th Paris Cinema Festival). Nagkasabay kami sa Dubai at nagkasalubong pa kami sa linya. We exhanged hi’s and hello’s and that's it. Wala kaming issues,” he states in the recently-concluded Ponds Dream Date event.

Despite his noncommittal statement, it seems that his friendship with Judy Ann during the peak of their kilig team-up will never be the same. This is in line with his controversial rift with Ryan who’s reportedly jealous of him back in 2006—the year wherein Piolo and Judai revived their team-up both on the boob tube (Sa Piling Mo) and the silver screen (Don’t Give Up On Us). Perhaps to defuse further intrigues, Piolo points out that they have just gone separate ways. “Natural lang naman na you grow apart and at the same time I’m happy dun sa buhay niya. Kung ano man ang meron si Judai, I’m happy na masaya sila, hanggang dun lang,” he stresses.

Their multitude of fans though can’t help but miss the two’s undeniable onscreen chemistry. Given a chance, will Piolo consider working with Judai again? “Ah yes, I’m very open. I never closed my doors with anyone especially with Judai. Bahala na lang kung mangyayari yun kung kalian,” he quickly replies. At any rate, he insists that such a career move isn’t for him to make. “Ako I’m just waiting kung ano’ng trabaho ibigay sa akin ng ABS-CBN. And I’m happy na wala akong kaaway, na okay kami,” he continues to say. “We can only pray for it. If it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen. So tignan na lang natin. I’m sure naman that the network knows (what’s best for us).” - Abs-Cbn.com

Ryan Agoncillo on Piolo Pascual and Robin Padilla: ‘Different people, different reasons, different issues all together’

During the Pieta presscon last October 21, di naiwasan ni Ryan Agoncillo na matanong tungkol sa mga lalaking naugnay sa kanyang girlfriend na si Judy Ann Santos. Lalo pa tungkol sa comment na binigay ni Robin Padilla tungkol sa kanilang kasal. “You know, ‘yung sa akin nagsalita na si Juday and when I got to hear the whole issue ah, I knew I was gonna get asked about it at one point or another. Sa akin ang importante nagsalita na si Juday. Ah, nasabi na niya ang gusto niyang sabihin. Gusto na niyang tapusin ang issue. I think the lady’s words in this case are the most important. Sa akin, nabasa ko lahat ‘yan.” Sa tingin niya nagbibiro lang si Robin nu’ng may sinabi siya about Judy Ann? “You know, I mean, ako kasi Robin is Robin. Sa totoo lang, dumaan lang siya,. nabasa ko. Dumaan lang siya. I think there are better things in life.”

Claudine Barretto's comment to PLONING!

Claudine Barretto is very proud of Judy Ann Santos!

Claudine supports Judy Ann's efforts to get the movie Ploning a nomination in the upcoming Academy Awards in Hollywood.

“She took the risk eh, not everybody does that. I’m so proud of her.” Actress Claudine Barretto expressed her happiness towards her supposed showbiz rival Judy Ann Santos’ successful fu

ndraising activities for the movie Ploning’s bid to the Oscars. In fact, Claudine donated some of her outfits to Judai’s auction last November 28. Although rumored time and again to be enemies, Claudine and Judy Ann both insisted in several interviews that they are very much friends in real life. "Sabi ko, 'Mare, anything you need, nandito ako. Sunduin mo na lang 'yung ipang-o-auction natin, ganyan-ganyan,'" related Claudine.

When asked if she desires to also make it to the Oscars someday, Claudine said that she’s not taking the spotlight just yet from Judai. "Paunahin na muna natin si Judy Anne (Santos), kumbaga oras niya ito. It's her time to shine talaga, and mas matagal na siya dito (sa industry), so ibigay natin sa kanya." "She (Judai) took the risk eh, not everybody does that. I'm so proud of her," Claudine said. "We're in touch and I'm so so proud of her. This is the first time di ba? Full support ako."

On the POV (Points, Opinion, Violent Reactions) segment of The Buzz yesterday, the hosts expressed their admiration towards Claudine's actions. "We should understand talaga na may kanya-kanya tayong panahon and so sweet of her (Claudine) to say and acknowledge that it's Judai's moment," Kris Aquino said. Ruffa Gutierrez even recalled her experience working with Judai and Claudine in a shampoo commercial and said that the two are really good friends and that there are just some people who want them to be enemies. Boy Abunda cited Claudine's efforts as a good example to the showbiz industry. "That's why I'm proud to say that I belong to this industry, kasi kapag nagkakagipitan kami at kailangan ng tulong, nagkakaisa po kami.”
