I didn't know that this film is very pink🌸. I love John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John's chemistry. They are really talented. The soundtrack in this musical film is sublime. I love the fact behind my most favorite, Hopelessly Devoted To You. I can say that the storyline is not that sturdy, it's like a coming-of-age teeny-themed film but we can't deny that the cast assemble is great. Their skills in different aspects surely blends to each other. Hands down to the cinematography in late 70s.

Grease (1978)

Let's ask ourselves, are we too honest to admit that we commit a sin or sins in se7en deadly sins? This film is one of a kind and the story was great and maybe traumatic to some because of the bloodshed. This is undeniably accurate even in the past till now and it became invincible. These are the issues that were still timely. As we all know the history repeats itself and it's so sad how people do not learn in any of it. This film has one of the best villain of all time. Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt are like the cherries on top.

Se7en (1995)

[zsophiarrealm]

This musical is highly recommended and a must watch! I love how they put a story in ABBA songs. I'm very obsessed with all the songs. I like everything👌. Dancing Queen and Super Trouper are the front tier. Though the storyline is not that great for me because many argued that they messed up in the second installation's timeline, like how unnecessary Cher's character was lol. I also believe that Amanda Seyfried's character could've done better. Meryl Streep was just a versatile actress. Colin Firth is my favorite in all of Sophie's fathers but Bill is the real father as per everyone's prediction. I'm also obsessed with Mamma Mia's theme/motif, the costumes, the people and the place, Greece😭, I really wanted to go there. I badly wanted to have a party or attend a party that plays Mamma Mia's soundtrack with unlimited food, haha SOON! I'm currently waiting in their third part, I really wish that it's not real that they're just going to add like three new songs, oh please add mooooreee.

Mamma Mia! (2008)

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again (2018)

Do you believe with the idea of heaven? For me, it's real. Definitely. But would believe if someone or anyone talks about in front of you. Probably not. We all have various beliefs and diverse culture. Sometimes it's hard to believe in something that you don't see or feel. We are made to be different and unique but equal when it comes to rights and disposition we attain. This film will teach you about how life would be different when you've got something to believe in to. I hope that everyone who are suffering right now, will continue to believe and not blame God.

Heaven Is For Real (2014)

[zsophiarrealm]

The Invisible Guest has one of the best plot twist ever for a film but, I hate how the original title, Contratiempo, was changed because of the translation. It's direct translation is Setback hmmm, but they changed it. I really thought it's a horror film because of the word Invisible, without thinking it's about the law, a case, a murder, a psycho, revenge and a film that consists of overlapping lies and liars. It was not rated highly for me because we all knew what's the twist in the halfway of the film. However, it's good that this film, attract a lot of adaptations in other countries.

The Invisible Guest (2016)

[zsophiarrealm]

This film has been extraordinarily made. I cried so much watching this film. I watched it after the Oscars Awards 2022 and I'm thankful that it's not too late for me to recognize and congratulate this kind of team. They made me realize that life is beautiful and everything is beautiful, it's up to you how you'll look upon it. This film is indeed a trendsetter. Imagine being the first film made by a streaming service to win the highest award in Oscars? Just great. (Though sometimes Oscars do not recognize other great films). Just to add, the stream/river scene reminded me of All The Bright Places, it was just amazing and wonderful👌 The singing interpretation part to Joni Mitchell's song is a masterpiece, I remember the Emma Thompson scene in Love Actually and I bet not everyone has seen or heard the song, it's very very highly recommended to add on your playlist.

CODA (2021)

[zsophiarrealm]

This is very gay. I hate those review that says, THEY DO NOT HAVE A CHEMISTRY --- like whuutt??!! They're just so pretty and though it's a slow burn, okay we all know how Francis Lee do it again (since God's Own Country). Kate is flawless. Saoirse is lit. They're perfect. Saoirse is the future version of Kate. They're both gorgeous. The DIY SCENE lmao HAHAHAHA they did it good. The way she sat on her face HELP ME. I'M GIGGLING WATCHING THAT HAHAHA. The 1800's lesbian. Their characters were based on real persons, but it wasn't proven that they had connections or interactions during that era.

Ammonite (2020)

[zsophiarrealm]

I FREAKING LOVE YOU KRISTEN STEWART! I'M JUST ROMANTICIZING YOU RN, WHAT DO YOU SAY? LOL. K, just breathe, in and out. This film is 😊😀👀🙁😱😵🤧🙂☺🤗 like this set of emojis. The cinematography, acting, visuals, symbols, script, settings, accuracy is a WIN! There are hilarious scenes and lunatic scenes, that will make you shift for both emotions. I literally cried because I just knew Princess Diana by her name but because of this film, at least something inside me has enlightened. I really enjoyed the freedom in this film. WAAAAHHHHHH, THE HALLUCINATION PARTS CONFUSED EVERYBODY FR! The necklace, Anne Boleyn, stairs and wire cutters!!! I don't f care about those hate comments about this film, I just love everything. I want to know more about Princess Diana. May her soul will always be in peace. She's a goddess and a real representation of a person with a kind heart. Wish that there's a lot of Diana in this world. The representation of Sally Hawkins' character was a 🙇🏾🙇🏾🙇🏾 I'm speechless for that. I really thought I'm watching an lgbtq film again haha. Overall, I'll consider this my go-to film 👒👑📿 That Oscar nomination, get it babe🙇🏾✨

Spencer (2021)

[zsophiarrealm]

I summarized the totality of all the comments I've seen across various platforms and they all said it's a "slow burn" film. The first thing I noticed is the crossover of Mary Jane and the name Peter in the film lmao. Actually, you'll realize that the film's plot was just mundane but how did they make it spectacular and unforgettable. The runs in this film were in zigzag till the ending hit the vortex or something. The setting was excellent at the same time boring. So many dead air but those are the so called worth it silence. The music was 👌 --- wait I forgot to search the one they played with the banjo and piano(?) I have to add that song in Spotify playlist right now lol. Ykw, the comment that hurt me the most is that Kodi and Jesses didn't deserve their oscar nominations, bruh they do! I love you Mr. CUMberbatch though you love Bronco Henry that much --- oops I love what I saw in the film😊 jk. The little romance, lgbt theme, betrayal in the end and the surprise have me died. Thank you for that huh🙄 Overall, this is an amazing movie that not everyone can enjoy, but I did.... sleep, jk. I really did enjoy it!

The Power of the Dog (2021)

[zsophiarrealm]

One of the best thing that ever exist is friendship. I don't know how this world will operate without kindness and love from someone you're not intimately attracted with but unconditionally in love. Things might have been different but it's not that you can predicts things. Destiny is still the ruler. I love how it always portray that scientists do not believe in God because that's the beauty of diversity in cultures and belief, the beauty of respect and acceptance and the beauty of living in this world. Ramanujan must have been given a talent and intelligence that anyone could think impossible but because he believed on what he's believing, he pursued his own dreams and did whatever it takes to share his part. Mr. Hardy and Littlewood are our great friends who just made me cry, made number 1729 meaningful than I could ever imagined. The wife and the mother who patiently waited for him. This film, though didn't cater how every equations went. I just want to say that it is for the good of all, jk. Because even if they'll tell it to us we won't understand haha. Math complicate matters but it's helpful to those who want to learn.

The Man Who Knew Infinity (2013)

[zsophiarrealm]

Firstly, I hate science. I came to watch this because of the romance I'm spoiled a long time ago with no proper clearance of their backstory. I am devastated. This made me think of what I'm doing today that I will probably regret later or tomorrow. Imagine of those possibilities if she didn't interfere to his life, would he still be as great as his legacy today? Or would he still pursue his dreams but not with her? There are millions or even billions of scenario that could come up with a different result but with much and overflowing understanding they still came to a conclusion where they chose different paths because they got tired and lost. They remained friends but I'm still in awe of how things turned out, on how fate beautifully pushed and pulled them apart.

The Theory of Everything (2014)

[zsophiarrealm]

Though I've seen Son Ye-Jin in Crash Landing On You, this film still made me confused if it's really her I'm watching right now. It's not that she aged a lot, of course, there's difference now she's in her late 30s and getting married sooner to her first love ayieee. She's an angel that has an immaculate face and voice here. The heart effect they had with her partner to me just made my heart beats go crazy. Melancholy crept into me while I peek at the synopsis. It's the ignorance that killed me to tears and sadness. Though it's an open ending for me because I hope that she'll regain her memory in no time, I still know that it'll be permanent and lapses may happen always. I'm happy for the heartaches it brought and I'm sad for the little joy it offered me.

A Moment To Remember (2004)

[zsophiarrealm]

Everything that associated with Jun Ji-Hyun made me feel like I'm riding on a rollercoaster - too many bumps and falling surprise. You're happy then sob later. She made my heart leap then ache later. Tears of tragedy to romantic tears. Her chemistry with everyone she's partnered with is undeniably insane. Choi Tae-Hyun is one hell great of an actor too. They surely will bring you to an endless adventure of possibilities and realities in this film. No wonder why I felt so much love and emotions watching this. A highly recommended!

My Sassy Girl (2001)

[zsophiarrealm]

This is the film I wished I witnessed and seen in the cinemas back then but I was born 4 years late haha. Filipino classic films got this wattpad-novel-plot-like storyline. Though, the chemistry is good. The antagonist is better. The girl protagonist is best. But I'm somehow disappointed on how Rico Yan acted here. I don't know if this was how he usually did it back then, but he seemed stiff or somewhat. I don't know if it's just because he's handsome that he's praised but his acting really disappoint me here. Nevertheless, this film maybe is a comfort movie to many. Rest in peace, Rico and I hope that Claudine have a healed heart already.

Dahil Mahal na Mahal Kita (1998)

[zsophiarrealm]

Scream franchise is a legacy film you just can't get enough of watching. Luckily, we have now 5 freaking parts of it and the 6th is coming sooner!!! Another thing I feel so lucky about is that it was a part of my childhood! Like when I rewatched this whole damn thing last year, I still can remember how I sat back then and watched the iconic scene where Drew Barrymore's character has been hanged by a rope on the tree.

Last year, a particular scene talks about what movie has a better sequel than the original and they brought about Godfather (god gracious haven't watched that icon film yet), I just want to apologize that Scream 2 didn't exceed the first installation for me☺ So what's new? This 5th part is way more better than the 4th one that sucks a lot lol. I didn't expect drama here but omg (SPOILER ALERT), I cried how my dear old characters died for the sake of having something new😭 like of course, the surviving things that always happen that don't seem real anymore😭

Okay, so this 5th one is good! I will always love how they reference iconic horror films title! They always got me with that and I'm looking foward for more Sidney and Gale things. They made this one extra. Please be alive again, so there's more part to be released.

Love,

Uglyface

Scream 5 (2022)

[zsophiarrealm]

Probably one of the best movies of 2021. Frankly, I thought the girl was selfish, especially in that very moment she switched the lights on and stopped the world and ran away from her commitment to run towards her 'cheat.' But as the film progressed, I could see the tragedy waving. It illustrates the time of our lives when we're in a state of confusion and in denial. She is perhaps a go-lucky girl with her own principles where she's the one who makes decisions and choices for her life. I bet that things didn't go her way because of how fate turned and ended in some kind of miserable mystery, she still looks like found her own passion.

The Worst Person In The World (2021)

[zsophiarrealm]

Boys in these kinds of dramas are okay, cute, or handsome but got that toxic unchangeable decorum. This lead got that disposition. The girl is hopeless romantic and that's perfect for the plot lol. Though it's obvious who is going to be the endgame, I'm just surprised that though I watched this 7 yrs ago, I did not know that the lead guys has a 'kinship'. However, this is an 11 year old drama with best soundtracks, humor and cast. Still a must watch and recommended.
