Last Man Standing Season 2


Season Two of Last Man Standing was filled with political overtones with the Baxter family divided in terms of political affiliations.  Basically, the Baxter family is a representation of America's voting population:  Mike, the unspoken democrat, his eldest daughter Kristin is the staunch republican,  his wife Vanessa is the fence sitter, and daughter Mandy is the undecided neophyte voter.  I guess with the US Presidential Elections at hand, the writers may have thought of using this as an electoral parody.  Still, it was very entertaining!  Vintage Tim Allen comedy!

One thing I didn't like about the new season is the replacement of Alexandra Krosney who played Kristin Baxter in the first season with Amanda Fuller.  Personally I think that Amanda looks too mature and not pretty enough to be a Baxter daughter.

This Guy's in Love with You Mare


Seldom that I watch Tagalog movies but if I do it would almost always be comedy.  I do believe Filipinos have great talent for comedy.  This afternoon, me and my wife had our chill time and decided to watch Vice Ganda's This Guy's in Love with U Mare.  My wife has been harping of watching this movie since last week and without a better movie to watch, I just told myself that the worst thing that could happen is I get an hour's sleep in an airconditioned environment or go belly up laughing.  Well, I got myself a good laugh watching this movie and then some!

Vice Ganda is definitely a great comedian!  Facial expression palang e matatawa ka na!  Kudos to the writer for those funny lines!  Luis Manzano's deadpan brand of comedy reminds me of his father.  He is truly EDU's son!  In this movie I'd say that comedy is not Toni Gonzaga's strong point.  She is, however, a pretty face and I'm a sucker for pretty ladies making funny faces!  Oh and we do get a glimpse of her in a one piece bikini in one scene!  Really YUMMY!
