When Angelina Jolie was picking a title for her directorial debut, which is a love story between a Serbian soldier and a Muslim woman during the Bosnian War, she admitted that she struggled with deciding on just the right name. "It's a heavy film," she said. "You want to find that title that really helps the audience know what they're walking into." So calling it "In the Land of Blood and Honey" definitely suggests this romantic drama won't be a walk in the park -- especially after rumors started circulating that the Serbian character rapes the woman.

Today we saw our first trailer for the film, which Jolie doesn't star in. And from everything we see here, yes, it's going to be a very, very heavy film. But it looks like the producers are hoping that a strong romance at the center might make it a little more palatable to audiences.

Filipinos must watch this movie, not just another Hollywood film epic ism, but this is another celebration of every Filipinos who make it in Hollywood. 

Marife Necisito who starred in some notable films on silver screen got a huge break internationally, and co-starring Michelle Williams(Blue Valentine) and Mexican Heartthrob  Gael Garcia Bernal (Letters to Juliet). As far as we could remember, Michelle was nominated in her portrayal in the said movie Blue Valentine. Marife just can't describe the feeling of bugging the key role in this modern family drama with an internationally acclaimed director Lukas Moodysson (Together and Lil Ja 4ever).
