Now acclaimed as a box-office and critical success, Just A Stranger continues to thrill audiences all over the country.

The weather is rainy but it is actually the win-win season for Viva. Fresh from the recent success of Vivacon, the first Filipino fan convention in local entertainment history, the showbiz outfit is at the moment celebrating more important milestones.

First is the success of the erotic drama from Viva Films, Just A Stranger, which topped the box-office till last August. At the same time, the Viva distributed Angel Has Fallen became the number one grossing foreign film. Lastly, This I5 Me, starring Pop Princess Sarah Geronimo, became the first Filipino concert film to air on Netflix.

Now acclaimed as a box-office and critical success, Just A Stranger continues to thrill audiences all over the country. It stars Anne Curtis and Marco Gumabao and is written and directed by Jason Paul Laxamana. Partly shot in Portugal, the movie tells the story of how a married woman gets into a passionate affair with a younger man and how she suffers the consequences.

Angel Has Fallen is the third of the famous Fallen franchise. Previously shown were Olympus Has Fallen and London Has Fallen. The three-time more exciting Angel Has Fallen continues the adventures of agent Mike Banning played by Gerard Butler. He is now on the run, a suspect in the attempt to kill the president of the United States. He must prove his innocence and find the real killer at the same time. Angel Has Fallen also stars Morgan Freeman, Piper Perabo, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Nick Nolte.

Meanwhile, all those who missed Sarah Geronimo’s This I5 Me concert which was held at the Araneta Coliseum last April 2018 and those who want to relive the experience can simply log in to Netflix and watch the show at any time and all the times they want.

This is a major event for Filipino talents as it opens the doors of the streaming platform to other Filipino concert films. This I5 Me marked Sarah’s 15th anniversary in show business. It features a repertoire of Pilipino and foreign songs and was directed by Paul Basinillo with Louie Ocampo as musical director. Featured guests are Billy Crawford, Mark Bautista, Xian Lim, James Reid and Daniel Padilla.

Without missing a beat, Viva Films segued with Sanggano, Sangguwapo, Sanggago and brought back the Gamol triumvirate of Andrew E, Janno Gibbs and Dennis Padilla to the big screen.

Directed by Al Tantay, the picture was one of the funniest, naughtiest romps ever seen in local movies in a long time.

There are more hilarious naughties in store for movie-goers with the arrival of Jowable, which is now showing in theaters. Based on the much-talked about short film by Darryl Yap on Facebook, the movie stars the love team of the smash PETA musical Rak of Aegis, Kim Molina and Gerald Nepoles, with Yap again as writer and director.
