Serna: ‘Bridal Shower’ movie, feel good sexy comedy

Since last year, another activity was added to the already long list of holiday-related celebrations that Cebuanos and those in other major cities of the country can look forward to year after year. Hopefully, this will go on notwithstanding who are at the helm of government considering that the election period is already very much around the corner.
What I’m referring to is the expansion of the Metro Manila Film Festival that counted Cebu as one of the places where some or most of the official entries will be shown simultaneously with those in Metro Manila.
One of the major attractions is the parade of stars where floats carrying some or all of the members of the cast of the entries are paraded through the major streets of these cities. In last year’s outing, the number of people lining the sides of the streets looked like a preview of the consistent crowd-drawing festival, the Sinulog, which Cebu celebrates three weeks after the New Year celebration.

In this year’s filmfest, one of the official entries is Bridal Shower by Seiko Films. As observed through the years, Seiko Films had been churning out sexy films and had discovered new talents along the way.
Bridal Shower, however, tends to be different from the film company’s previous projects in the sense that it is not merely sexy but a comedy as well. Josie Pereyra of JSP Ads & Promotions hastens to add that Bridal Shower is a feel good movie.
Considering the social, economic, political and all the types of problems we feel these days, we really need a feel good movie to at least help lift our spirits especially at this time of the year.
This Seiko project boasts of an impressive line-up of artists, the likes of Dina Bonnevie, Seiko’s new find Francine Prieto, Cherry Pie Picache, hot hunk Christian Vasquez, Seiko’s dependable property Rodel Velayo, veteran actresses Boots Anson-Roa and Gina Pareño and new discoveries Alfred Vargas, Douglas Robinson and Juancho Valentino.
Juancho, in case you don’t know, hails from Cebu, most specifically, Lapu-Lapu city. I’ll give you more info about Juancho next time (hopefully with an accompanying photo).
At the helm of this sex-comedy is young but talented and promising Jeffrey Jeturian. Make the movie part of your holiday list and pave the way for an enjoyable yuletide celebration.

At this time, judges of the ongoing Pasko sa Sugbo 2003 contest are already busy tabulating the results of their assessment and evaluation of the 25 entries dotting the landscape of the sidewalks of the major streets of the city.
As of last week’s laid out schedule, the judges were scheduled to go around yesterday to make the final evaluation. Even before the scheduled judging, there were already quite a number of entries that could easily catch the attention of even small children with the creativity and imagination that the creators put into the entries to come up with the finished product, that is, the nativity scenes
At nighttime, the entries look even more attractive with the artistic way the multi-colored miniature lights are added to the already impressive works of art. With the attractive prizes at stake, and the desire to enliven the major parts of the city, Pasko sa Sugbo 2003 succeeds in helping, as the popular Christmas song goes, “make the season bright.”
Merry Christmas, everyone! Malipayong Pasko syudad ug lalawigan sa Sugbo!
