Coco Martin and Julia Montes shine in A Moment in Time

In Star Cinemas Valentine offering A Moment in Time, Coco Martin and Julia Montes prove that they have the right chemistry to finally translate their strong Walang Hanggan love team to the big screen.

The movie, which was also shot in Amsterdam, follows the lives of Patrick Javier, a street artist, and Jillian Linden, a music student. Their paths cross when Patrick first notices Jillian on the train and decides she is the muse he has been looking for in his paintings. He does everything he can to meet his mystery girl and when he does find her, he discovers that they are worlds apart because of her social standing. This does not deter the very determined Patrick as he does his best to win her heart as a likable delivery guy-slashstreet artist. Coco plays his role with ease, used to playing workingclass roles in past independent films but this time, he comes off as charming and endearing without dwelling too much on his social status. Julia finds it hard to resist his charms as an introverted, shy, and sheltered only child of Cherie Gil and Gabby Concepcion. When Cocos character Patrick finally convinces Jillian to pose for him, she discovers a whole other world outside her comfort zone. The movie provides many kilig scenes that will be enjoyed not just by fans of the Coco-Julia love team, but by the young and youngat-heart. Coco proves he is capable of doing romantic comedy as well as heavy drama in this movie. The talented actor admitted he enjoyed the change of pace because he is always pegged as a dramatic actor. Julia plays the role of the headstrong Jillian, proving that her acting skills have definitely been honed after playing a much more mature role in Walang Hanggan. If the first half of A Moment in Time makes you fall in love with the two main characters, the second half takes a more serious turn as an unexpected twist challenges the love between Patrick and Jillian. Will their connection to each other endure or will they let the mistakes of the past define their future.

Meanwhile, SNN host Bianca Gonzalez revealed that she was surprised at the news item because she knows someone else who admires Montes. Nagulat ako doon sa item about Coco Martin and Julia Montes. Hindi ko alam na may ganoon pala kasi ang alam kong may gusto kay Julia Montes ay ibang young star. Ibang young actor, she said. The TV host, however, declined to reveal the identity of the young actor but rather, she gave a clue on who he is. Nire-respect natin ang privacy niya kasi hindi pa siya ready to come out with it. Pero mayroon siyang show na malapit nang lumabas sa ABS-CBN primetime very soon. Pero ibang hunk actor na leading man, she disclosed.

Commentary:
IT WAS SUCH A NICE STORY with all the beautiful casts most especially there is Coco Martin and Julia Montes. Sa thriller pa lang very much exciting, i feel the love, laugh, support and affection. So wonderful hopefully it well be Blockbuster hit this year love you and miss you so much cocojul... GOOD LUCK! GOD BLESS! Si Paul Cabral was the designer of the wedding dress and suit of Miss Julia and Coco and aside from them, the wedding family and entourages outfits were also included in the budget. Inside and outside of the church (San Agustin) they decorated them with white orchids (imported from Thailand) and this was budgeted with half a million (P500,000). At the side of the isle, it was decorated as if there was a Christmas tree full of white orchids and it was placed from the churchs door up to the altar. Its like an enchanted garden inside the church due to its elegant decoration and almost all of the visitors wore a filipiniana outfits, and even the string orchestra who plays music of Walang Hanggan Soundtracks are also wearing outfits according to the color of the motif. The wedding ceremony is not yet certain on what part of the teleserye it will be shown, so better continue watching the last two weeks of the Walang Hanggan teleserye at ABS-CBNs channel so you wont miss this climax of the story. A very specially with Coco Martin And julia Montes. Unfortunately, those shifts are harder to pull off and come to grips with, because they occasionally feel pompous and episodic, and this prevents Coco from turning in a cohesive characterization. Despite our aforementioned quibbles, A Moment in Time is viewable because it manages to overcome its narrative encumbrances, as it paves the way for its requisite storybook ending!
