| Another re-telling of 'Princess Sarah'Column: MovieGoer JUST A THOUGHT: Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. - Pearl S. Buck BY THE WAY... • Fresh from a whirlwind series of shows in the US and Canada with Piolo Pascual and Pokwang, Sam Milby resumes his local engagements by way of an intimate show at Zirkoh comedy bar in Quezon City on Nov. 17, Saturday. Entitled 'Right Here Waiting For You,' the show also features guests Pokwang, Raging Divas, Richard Poon, Hotbabe Mara, Will Sandejas, and OJ Mariano. The show is produced and directed by the prolific Jobert Sucaldito. • A Pinoy indie film, 'Signos,' won the Best Foreign Film award at the Lone Star International Film Festival held recently in Fortworth, Texas. Hollywood actor Bill Paxton, who chaired the board of judges, congratulated the 'Signos' delegation led by Venus Lubrin and Dante Mungcal. 'Signos,' starring Luis Alandy, was directed by Aloy Adlawan.

What's so great about the story of Princess Sarah? Originally an animated series, it went on to become a monster box office hit when Star Cinema made a full-length film about the girl's experiences in the company of her friends and in the hands of her tormentors. Camille Pratts played 'Princess Sarah' while Angelica Panganiban played her best friend. When they reached their teenage years, Camille lagged behind as an actress while Angelica zoomed to become a bigger star. We can only anticipate what fate awaits Sharlene San Pedro when the time comes. Sharlene, the little girl who cried buckets in 'Mga Angel na Walang Langit,' has stepped into the shoes of Sarah, a rich girl who turns poor with the death of her father. Sharlene is joined in the show by a big bunch of other kids whose presence alone can easily help beef up the show's appeal to children. The new 'Princess Sarah' is wisely using musical production numbers in unfolding Sarah's story. 'Princess Sarah' features a big cast which includes Albert Martinez, Ai Ai de las Alas, Diether Ocampo, Sheryl Cruz, Carlos Agassi, Candy Pangilinan, Matt Evans, etc. Source: Tempo |
