"Way Of The Cross" : An Enthralling thriller-action-drama story



In a Catholic country like here, in the Philippines, if we get to here the phrase "Way Of the Cross," one would easily think that you are pertaining to our religion, which is, in a more profound way, referring to Jesus Christ's Fourteen Stations of the Cross that we commemorate yearly, during Holy Week. But when we get to talk to this upcoming film's producer/director/screenplay writer and lead actor, Anthony Diaz V, we were enlightened. 

My first impression of Mr. Anthony, was that, he was a smart, English-speaking lad and with no information about him in my mind, I just thought, he's one of the cast only not until we had him interviewed... this guy had a lot to give and a real film buff! Not only he can do acting, but he can also write scripts, direct and produce a movie. He is a Fil-Am born and raised in the United States, and he gives credits to his Filipino dad, who is also an actor back in Los Angeles, California.


Anthony Diaz V during our pocket interview with him regarding his upcoming action-thriller movie, 
"Way Of The Cross." 

About his upcoming film, "Way Of The Cross," according to Mr. Anthony, without spoiling the whole film, it is an action-thriller, where he plays an Fil-Am FBI agent, who went home here in the Philippines to take care of some personal matters regarding his father and half-sister, until something happened in the nearby town... a series of killings or murders have been haunting the towns people and that it occurred during the Holy Week season. Because of his FBI instincts, he doesn't want to lose time in solving the series of crimes. He had also some encounters with the local police who tried to stop him. The big question is, how will he able to pursue his undaunted mission despite all the animosities he'd been experiencing while trying to resolve the serial killings? 


Mr. Anthony had also shared us that he had conducted an audition to complete the cast. He doesn't actually have anyone in mind, during that time, that's why, all the actors in the said movie had undergone the process. And fortunately, he was feeling so lucky and happy with full of admiration to our Filipino actors namely Roxanne Barcelo (Maria), Daiana Menezes, Alvin Anson (Padre Luna) , Rafael Rosell (Michael, Maria's husband in the movie), Isay Alvarez whom he considers as one of the greatest actors he had worked with here in the Philippines and the other members of the cast as well.

The first part of the movie was filmed in Las Vegas and the rest was shot here in the Philippines which he recalls, a perfect location for the movie.  



SYNOPSIS

Set against a small religious town in the Philippines, "WAY OF THE CROSS" follows Rogelio "Rogue" Marquez (Anthony Diaz V), a Las Vegas based Filipino American FBI agent, whose estranged father living in the Philippines, is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Rogue travels to the Philippines to visit his dying father and half sister in Manila. A string of murders occur during holy week celebrations in the nearby town of San Antonio that send waves of terror among the local town people, and stuns the NBI and its top agent. Rogue's curiosity and FBI instincts lure him into a dark cat and mouse world of religious abstracts as he attempts to uncover the motivation behind these murders in hopes to solve the mystery. 
Here's the official trailer of "Way of the Cross" and it looks very promising...

The screenplay was written by him and his father Antonio Diaz, based from the concept by Gorio Vicuna, who is a co-director in this movie. The movie is a character-driven thing, that will make us think, re-think and be enthralled with it. 


In addition, Mr. Anthony admitted that he likes the works of direk Erik Matti most especially what he did in his "On The Job" movie, he was totally whipped by it and he's looking forward to meet him personally and talk to him.  He also admitted that he's also interested to work with Liza Soberano, Anne Curtis and Erich Gonzales. 

So that's it guys, hope you could watch "Way Of The Cross" movie, coming soon in cinemas nationwide and premieres on May 11, 2019, Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia.

"A Secret Affair" To Remember





Are secrets really bound to be disclosed? Have you experienced sharing the most discrete part of your life to someone? Do you have enough guts to reveal your secrets to the person you dearly love? Or let’s put it this way, have you had “A Secret Affair,” that you’ve been dreading it might come out and would greatly affect your relationship?

It all just started with one “casual sex.” And after that very daring and lustful encounter of Sam (Andi Eigenman) and Anton (Derek Ramsay), the inevitable complication has begun, as if fate was playing a game on the main characters of the story, including Rafi (Anne Curtis).

Derek Ramsay as Anton


Anne Curtis as Rafi and Andi Eigenmann as Sam

If we’re just going to base our impression of the movie, “A Secret Affair,” from the series of trailers per se, one might say it was a sort of “copy cat” from the previous box-office hit movie, “No Other Woman,” that was shown last year with Anne Curtis as the other woman, Cristine Reyes as the legal wife and the “Universal leading man,” Derek Ramsay as the man torn between two beautiful women (oh boy, he was really that lucky huh!). But this is a different story of love triangle, I bet you. 

You know guys, you really have to be there inside the theater and experience the thrill and excitement and hear those wonderful and remarkable exchange of lines between the characters of the story; each of them had shown superb acting most especially Ms. Jaclyn Jose, who until now, doesn’t fail to impress the audience with her own style. Check out her striking line... “Shut up! Bitch ka lang, ako super bitch!” hahaha love it! :)):)) I became more observant of the lines being delivered by Anne and Andi. It was so impressive how they deliver it with grace, timing, confidence and wit and it was kinda funny too, kudos to them. :))

Ms. Jaclyn Jose during the movie's presscon


Just to name few of my fave lines, Anne told Andi in one of their confrontations while they were at the car park of a certain mall: “Alam mo girl, kulang ka lang sa kape, alam mo kung saan masarap magkape? Sa burol mo!” And another scene in a cafe- Rafi to Sam: “Sana lang maipasa na ‘yung Rh Bill para hindi na ipinapanganak ang mga taong katulad mo.” I don’t intend to pre-empt the curiosity in you guys but I can’t help to share you Rafi’s very emotional line to Anton during their confrontation scene- “Ano ‘yun, masasabi mo bang you were physically unfaithful but emotionally faithful to me?!” Don’t you find it very intriguing and interesting? :))

In all fairness to Andi Eigenman, she was really effective in her role as a stubborn, bratty, self-centered girl who only wanted to be loved and give love to the man she thought was the one for her. She’d risk everything to get him (Anton) and win him over Rafi even if it would cause harm and affect their friendship. It reminds me of Andi’s very possessive and obsessive character in the on-going ABS-CBN’s Kapamilya teleserye, “Kahit Puso’y Masugatan,” no wonder she is so much at ease with that type of role, she did justice to it and proved to be very effective in “bitchy” stuffs.

I couldn’t help but share with you one of the most thrilling scenes from the movie, I call it the “I’ll Shut Up If You’ll Kiss Me” scene. OMG! That was so breathtaking! One piece of advice, don’t ever close your eyes on this scene. You want hint? Fire Exit hihi

Social media is really becoming more relevant and apt in our community. In one part of the movie, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy Rafi and Sam’s exchange of views, rants and shoutouts utilizing social networks like Twitter and Facebook. It was so practical and very realistic! I had a great laugh while watching; for it was so artistically done, and again, kudos to the creative team, it was so entertaining and outrageous, believe me and you better check that out!

The ever gorgeous Anne, remember this pic ;)


"Bitchy and daring" Sam played by Andi


Aside from the sexy, steamy and sizzling scenes of Anton with Rafi and Sam (it’s expected, of course) we could learn a lesson or two and relate with every character in the movie. Romantic and beautiful relationships like that of Anton and Rafi’s, when intruded by a third party, and all other factors like lies, betrayal and deception, would really banish this “thing” that is not given, it is something that is earned.... it’s the “trust.” I must say that threading thru life, we must also learn to give, forgive, accept and let go; and from there, we move on to the next chapter. We should not also commit ourselves if we know we couldn't stand for it and live by it. Never entertain impulsive and aggressive decisions when you’re aware, it might ruin your life and eventually be regretful in the end.

“A Secret Affair” is really a movie to be remembered. It speaks of the slapping truth and goes right into our hearts and minds. It is something to think of... a lesson for everyone and is relaying the message that, if we still have the power and time to control over things, don’t ever lose it or else, you’ll have to face and suffer its consequences.

This is produced and released by Viva Films under the helm of Nuel Crisostomo Naval and screenplay by Ms. Mel Mendoza del Rosario showing in over 200 theaters nationwide on October 24, 2012. Other casts include Joel Torre, Jackie Lou Blanco, Johnny Revilla, Jill Yulo, Say Alonzo, Petra Mahalimuyak, Gee-Ann Abraham, IC Mendoza and introducing Shy Carlos who exudes great resemblance with Jennylyn Mercado.
