Sylvia Sanchez and Aiza Seguerra watched “The Trial” together in a cinema in Greenhills, San Juan City last Saturday. Aiza wouldn’t want to watch the much-talked about drama of Chito Roño under Star Cinema unless her Nanay Sylvia will come with her.

Aiza had heard a lot of good words and read the comments on Facebook about the performance of her Nanay Sylvia. It wasn’t only netizens who had favorable words to say about Sylvia’s performance, but fellow celebrities as well like Toni Gonzaga. No wonder, Aiza was very curious to watch but could not find the time due to her busy schedule, until her movie date with her Nanay Sylvia last Saturday.

 We wonder what Aiza has to say about Sylvia’s portrayal? While Sylvia is elated with the praises for her role as the lesbian mother of John Lloyd Cruz, she is giving Aiza credit for it. When she found out that she will be playing a lesbian, she talked to Aiza to be her peg. For two months, she studied Aiza’s mannerisms. Sylvia also asked her how a lesbian moves her head to look at somebody or how she stares at a person.

“The Trial” is still showing in some theaters nationwide.

Assunta de Rossi, Angelica Panganiban and Angeline Quinto takes the spotlight as their comedy film “Beauty in a Bottle” from Quantum Films and released thru Star Cinema opens in cinemas today nationwide.

This movie is actually a project of award-winning writer director Chris Martinez (writer of  “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank”) which was originally meant as a filmfest entry about two years ago. But Direk Chris, who was a judge in Cinema One Originals a few years ago, saw the potential of  Antoinette Jadaone who directed “Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay,” a critically-acclaimed debut flick. He thought of asking Antoinette to write the script of “Beauty in a Bottle” and direct it as well.

The award-winning director had watched the movie and Direk Chris is endorsing everyone to watch “Beauty in a Bottle” which he says is very entertaining and worth the price of a movie ticket. The movie also stars Carmi Martin, Tom Rodriquez, and Ellen Adarna.
