Ballet Manila's 20th anniversary show, "BM 2.0" is not just a celebration of classical and well-loved dance pieces. It is a recognition of hard work, passion and dedication armed by the vision to bring ballet appreciation to people from all walks of life. Principal dancer Lisa Macuja -Elizalde fondly remembers back in 1995, when the company had only 12 dancers. "We did not have our own studio. We had a makeshift rehearsal area in my parents’ house in Quezon City, but it was not big enough. Every time we had to rehearse as a group, we had to move from one studio to another. There were days when our dancers would warm-up six at a time, kasi hindi kasya, walang space. It had a mirror pero kalahati lang, we couldn't see our feet," Lisa happily shared. Nurturing a dance company from the ground, entailed challenges of all types. But the burning passion for performance excellence was so strong, it kept the dance company intact through the decades.

My notes on The Boy Next Door Movie Review by : Jason Javier 1. The first few scenes reminded me so much of Enough that this could actually have worked as a sequel to that other trashy guilty pleasure. I was surprised Ashley Judd didn't star in this one. 2. What happened to Kristin Chenoweth? Her unforgiving haircut and old vice-principal face was so far from the cutesy characters she played in Pushing Daisies and Wicked. She had the (relatively) best lines in the movie, though.
