Change-Picture Day on March 30

It is indeed Wednesday, which film junkies usually expect to be 'change-picture day' for moviehouses. But just in case you don't know it, or you're of a different religion, this week is Holy Week holiday for Christians. Generally, moviehouses are closed for the next two days; Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. There will be no 'change-picture' of new movies until Saturday.

Come Saturday, March 30, 2013, the new movies opening will include the following:

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION
Directed by Jon M. Chu, and stars Dwayne Johnson,  Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Arnold Vosloo, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, and Lee Byung-hun, and is written  by Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
This positively much-anticipated sequel to the gad-awful first movie (GI Joe: Rise of Cobra) looks like it is indeed adapting the popular GI Joe cartoon series (based on a Hasbro toyline) of the 80's, and promises to be an ultra-power-packed action fiesta. I am definitely looking forward to this! Its US opening date is March 28, it arrives in Philippine theaters March 30.

IT TAKES A MAN AND A WOMAN
Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, this movie brings back the John Lloyd Cruz and sarah Geronimo tandem. In fact, this is the third installment to what is now a romance trilogy which started in "A Very Special Love" on 2008 and followed by "You Changed My Life" on 2009.

I was only able to watch part 1 of this trilogy, and I enjoyed it. I have said it time and again that Cathy Garcia Molina is one of the very very few directors working in mainstream Pinoy cinema, which can certainly deliver projects that range from outstandingly decent to highly impressive. I can say the same for John Lloyd and Sarah, who are both great in these types of roles. If you love romantic movies, this movie is a great bet to put your money on.
