Metro Manila Film Festival

Taon-taon nagkakaron ng piyesta ng mga pelikula sa araw ng Pasko. Smart move, dahil alam ng lahat na maraming pera ang mga tao sa panahon ng Disyembre kaya daan-daang milyon ang kinikita ng mga pelikula, hayahay ang mga producers. Hindi ako masyado nanunuod sa sinehan, pwera na lang kung nagkayayaan o may nang lilibre. Huling beses akong nanuod ng pelikula mula sa MMFF ay ang Spirit Warriors: The Shortcut, last 2003 pa. Hindi masyado masaya, hindi dahil sa pelikula kundi dahil ilang oras kami nakapila na umabot kami sa Annex ng SM North Edsa bago nakabili ng ticket tapos pagpasok namin, punong-puno ang sinehan, sa sahig kami nakaupo malapit sa fire exit. Mind you, January 1 na kami nanunod nun, (ah so 2004 na pala yun) we expect hindi na ganun kadami ang mga manunuod. Sabi ko kung ganito lang pala tuwing MMFF di na 'ko makikipagsiksikan sa susunod. Ipapalabas din naman lahat sa cable or local tv eventually. So ngayon, as usual, MMFF na naman. Kagabi nakanuod ako ng MMFF awards night sa Channel 2, bandang kalagitnaan na, just in time sa mga major awards. Nakita ko naman na sa Facebook yung results. Natuwa naman ako at big winner ang Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo, medyo nagulat lang sa rom-com na English Only, Please. Wala pa kong napapanuod sa mga kasaling pelikula kaya bumabase ako sa mga trailers. Bet ko talaga ang mga history movies kaya #1 sa'kin ang Bonifacio. Ang ganda ng pelikula, base sa trailer ha. Maganda rin naman ang reviews. Balita ko pa, may taga Hollywood filmmakers na isa sa likod ng pelikula ni Binoe. Yung Feng Shui 2, nakakatakot din yung part 1 nuon, I especially love the ending. Sa tingin ko naman hindi disapppointing yun. Pati ang Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles, balita ko complete package daw yun, nakakatawa, nakakatakot, action at drama (?). Akala ko maganda ang comeback ng Shake Rattle and Roll kasi may eroplano scene, eh bihira lang naman tayo gumawa ng mga ganung klaseng pelikula na may kinalaman sa mga sasakyan lalo na yung mga malalaki kasi takot tayo magpasabog o kahit magkaroon ng gasgas ng mga kotse pero yung nakita ko yung tyanak, ay putek parang dati lang. Bakit hindi naten magawang hindi halatang peke ang mga visual effects naten? Inuulit ko, wala pa ko napapanuod ni isa sa mga pelikula ng MMFF.

So why am I making this post?

Hindi BluRay.

As expected, highest grossing ang Praybeyt Benjamin 2 as of the moment. Bakit nga ba? Kasi Vice Ganda. Star Cinema. Comedy. Vice Ganda is known for his sarcasm as his comedic style. Benta- benta sa'tin, kaya nga ganyan sya kasikat ngayon. Tapos ABSCBN pa sya, magaling magbenta ng products nila kaya halos lahat ng media pinasok si Vice Ganda sa hosting, recording, concert, films. We all love to laugh, kaya mabenta din sa'tin ang mga comedy. Pero yung napanuod ko naman yung trailer, dyosko naman, wala na bang bago? Yung bago ata, si Al Tantay naging tatay ng karakter ni Vice sa pelikula, di tulad nung part 1 si Jimmy Santos. Luma ng mga punchlines, ni wala ngang nakakatawa sa trailer. Pilit lang eh. Nakakatawa si Vice Ganda pero he needs to reinvent himself. Naalala ko pa yung unang movie nya na pinanuod ko yung remake ng Petrang Kabayo, dami ko tawa nun kasi yung ang unang major film nya. Fresh pa mga tirada nya. Pero ngayon, dahil sa araw-araw na sya nakikita sa tv, araw- araw din sya nag-iisip ng punchline for the day nya na halos nauubos na kaya nawalan na sya sa pang pelikula nya. At sana kung gagawa ng comedy films, yung may sense naman. Yung may kwento, hindi yung mangongolekta ng mga punchlines saka pilit isisiksik sa isang pelikula na minsan off na or korni na.




Kelan kaya tayo makakagawa ng ganitong klaseng pelikula?

Star Cinema is disappointing. Mas gumagawa sila ng mga romantic, comedy, rom-com movies kasi alam nilang yun ang mabenta. Puro pera na lang. Business nga naman. Pero sana tayong mga Pinoy, sumuporta tayo sa mga dekalidad na pelikula. Maging wais na sana tayo, kung gagastos lang din ng P200 sana yung sulit na. Hindi yung magbabayad pa kayo para sa mga bagay na araw-araw lang din naman natin makikita sa TV, na libre naman.

Twilight Couple cheating scandal: From Breaking Dawn to Breaking Up

So this is the most talked about issue in Hollywood now: Robert Pattinson and his cheating girlfriend Kirsten Stewart with the Snowhite movie director.

Seeing the paparazzi photos here that had broke twihard fans' hearts all over the world, something is strange.

If you are fooling around, and a f*cking famous celebrity, would you like to be caught when you know lotsa camera follows you whenever you're out? Then making out inside a non-tinted window car?

I know K-Stew is up to something. Some says "it's self sabotage" but whatever it is... Robert Pattinson and other people involved in this issue are the ones humiliated and hurt.

Now this is the most thing to look forward on the release date of the Twilight final installment.

Go have your rest now, Manong Dolphy :')

The 6 year-old me was crying to my mother to have a notebook with my fave actor on the cover. I was preparing for my 1st grade in school. Celebrities on the cover of the writing notebook was popular that time, young celebs like the peeps from German Moreno's That's Entertainment, that's why I had Billy Joe Crawford notebooks with his silly haircut and colored 90's outfit. I was disappointed.

I wanted Dolphy notebooks.

Though I heard laughs from the adults, "They don't put celebrities as old as dolphy on the notebook, hun!"

I still cried. Dolphy is my favorite.

....

Thank you for the laughs and for your greatness, Manong Dolphy. 

There'll be no greater joy than to be with our God. 

Go and make laughs with angels now. 

Yes, I'd still want a Dolphy cover notebook.

Bad Teacher: bad movie

Okay, so my sem break is partially started. My tv is wreck, boo's not coming home for the weekend, I'm left with my laptop with many movies saved that I have already seen 97% of those. Got no choice but to watch the remaining films cos my internet is limited and it takes days for me to download a movie file. Good thing I have copied some from my classmate including Bad Teacher starring Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake.

I've always love Justin T. He's like one of the hottest guy on earth, totally drools over him. But I hated him for doing this movie. Bad Teacher has the most dislikable lead character which is Cameron Diaz playing the bad ass teacher and too bad, no justice has given. I was waiting for the story to bitch slap the character by the karma in any different way, comedic or dramatic. I thought it was a comedy film but there wasn't any funny scene at all except for the scene where Justin and Cameron having sex and orgasm with clothes on. Well, no... it's not funny for a fan of Justin's hotness like me, I was more like... frustrated. :D Well, whatever. I say, Bad Teacher is one of the worse movies I've seen.

I'm surrounded by failing relationships -- and infidelity themed shows and movie

I am saddened by the possible break up of the two of people I love and vair close to me. Nothing has confirmed yet but, there's a huge chance that they're going to splitville. This makes me real sad because I both love them and I have always thought that they're going to end up to each other and if the thing happened, one will say good bye not just to her but to me and my family as well. How will you feel if a person has became part of your family for many years now and with just a snap, a situation ends your connection to him? Plus the fact that they've been together for over 11 years now. A fucking 11 year relationship.

Then another case on the side, falling out of love turns to infidelity. Well for this one, I don't give a flying shit about the guy because he's a total crap. What kind of a drug addict, jobless 30 year old man leaving his girlfriend and their 2 young sons for a 16 0r 17 year old girl who even look like she never take a bath since she got into this world? I dunno how stupid people can be. Plus the left-girlfriend is pretending like she doesnt give a shit about his ex anymore but she silently keeps on checking on him. Psh.

With all these cases happening around me, I can't help but to worry, What if I get the same fate as theirs? What if I fall out of love unexpectedly, you really couldn't tell, could you? What if THAT happens to him? What if something happened and things changed and you can't do about it?

I can't help but these negative things affects me which I shouldn't be. Cos I know I'm different, he is different, we all have differences and we make our own fate, if everyone around is falling, that doesn't mean I should be falling also. I gotta get off this.

I dunno what's happening in the world, in people's mind, why all of a sudden, these media entertainment suddenly appeared with so timely happenings in my life right now.

Uso na nga ba ang kaliwaan ngayon? No wonder tragedy happens...
