It’s a good solid story with good acting: Derek’s performance, this time, ran a gamut of emotions (unlike in “English”). I expected a rom-com, like “English Only, Please,” which became everyone’s favorite.īut “Ex…” isn’t a romcom. (The love/sex scenes were swift, a judicious play of drama and passion-tastefully done, in short.)ĭerek and Coleen were sexy.

He wore such a look of detachment, you’d think he was Nestor Torre the movie reviewer, not the celebrated hunk. His eyes intently focused on the screen up front, he looked diligent and serious. You could feel awkward watching Derek as Adam onscreen, rip open the blouse of Coleen (as Arki) and let his mouth glide down her neck, down, down-and you glanced sidewards at Derek, the lifestylistas’ friend and favorite actor, and watched his deadpan expression. Well, Derek’s movie isn’t soft porn, but it’s steamy, no, it’s hot.ĪNA Maria Romandetto, Remedios Ramsay,Mexican Ambassador Julio Camarena Villaseñor, Derek Ramsay Sr. Instead of replying to me, he hollered at the audience of the private screening- “Akala niyo soft porn, ano?!” Then he laughed. “Nakakaiyak…,” I turned to Derek right after the closing credits. I liked it not because I watched it with Derek Ramsay beside me-alright, that’s part of the reason, that’s a major part of the reason-but because I didn’t expect to be pulling out tissue from my bag just in case the tears did fall-amid Tita Virgie Ramos’ Swatch’s A-listers. “Ex with Benefits” will be worth your evening. Now go on to the cinema-literally, you can, after the afternoon theater matinee. Thank you, Santi Santamaria and 9Works Theatrical for never giving up on the fickle audience. We went away from the theater that night in awe as well of Steven Silva (as the Jean-Michael you’d love to coddle as a son), Noel Rayos (Jacob), Joni Galesta (a prodigy of my bosom friend Malen Claravall of Royal Academy of Dance), and of course, Sheila Francisco and Raul Montesa, and the rest of the chorus line.ĭirector Robbie Guevara made “La Cage” so fresh that today’s theater-goers can relate to it, no matter that you’ve seen it several times. His Georges was a romantic, yet vulnerable, spouse to a capricious Albin. If there’s any doubt that De Mesa, the guy who grew up in show biz, has proved himself in theater, his Georges should dispel it. No wonder he was keen that I shouldn’t miss last Saturday’s show. Gemora is so in control of the exaggerations and subtleties of the role, and you enjoy his manipulation of it because it’s obvious he’s enjoying it, too. His “uncle,” bemustached, with sideburns and pompadour, was a very hilarious parody of you-know-who (that, you must see for yourself). When I saw him emerge onstage as an impersonation of an “uncle” of Georges’ son Jean-Michel who was about to introduce the straitlaced parents of his fiance, I simply got over my day’s woes. The theater-goer familiar with what Gemora has done onstage and for Philippine theater in general will easily see how his Albin/Zaza proves the breadth and depth of his talent-sufficient to capture the nuances of a man/gay/woman character.
