My Top 20 Most Read Reviews on ABS-CBNNews.com for 2020

January 4, 2021

My very first review published on ABS-CBNNews.com came out June 6, 2013. That was a largely negative assessment of the Will and Jaden Smith disaster called "After Earth."  I never dreamed that I could reach the 100-mark in less than a year's time after that. 

And now 7 years later, the number of my articles that appeared on ABS-CBNNews.com have gone up approaching 1000. I am humbled and very thankful for my editor's continued trust and confidence in my opinion writing about movies. Because of the pandemic restrictions, there have been no plays and concerts since March 15, 2020. I did begin writing about series streamed on Netflix and Amazon Prime instead, even K-dramas.

Quarantine notwithstanding, there had still been more than 100 reviews of mine that appeared on ABS-CBNNews.com. Popular 2020 titles which I thought would make the list, like Netflix series "The Queen's Gambit" and "The Crown Season 4," Oscar favorites like "The Trial of the Chicago 7" or "Mank," or my first forays into K-drama reviewing like "It's OK Not to Be Okay" and "Start Up," did not. 

Here is the list of the 20 most popular movie reviews on ABS-CBNNews.com which carried my byline for the year 2020:
