Unofficially Yours – Filipino Film Trailer

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

Unofficially Yours star cinema’s romantic comedy starring Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz. This is a typical romantic comedy about friends with benefits. Well, I dunno why there’s a need to jump in the band wagon. We all know how this one would end, they will fall madly in love with each other so *yawn*. I don’t know why Director Cathy Molina saying that the people are ready for “mature” stories. It’s not like filipinos are kept in the dark about that kind of set-up in relationships.

Filipino Movie Babae sa Septic Tank Failed to make it to Oscars

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

I wasn’t surprised at all that the much hyped indie movie “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank” failed to make it to the Oscars. I’ve seen the film and I wasn’t impressed and it hardly made an impact for me. Sure, the film had it’s moment and while it wants to convey a message, typical audience can’t relate. Only those who are into filmmaking can understand the humor. It’s more like a lampoon of indie filmmaking industry.

My Cactus Heart – Filipino Movie

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Normally I wouldn’t bat an eyelash on Star Cinema’s latest mediocre film offering. When I read on their official facebook fanpage site stating that “My Cactus Heart” is an indie film produced by Star Cinema. What the hell?! A major movie outfit just labeled their product as indie when in fact it’s not. The reason why indie films are labeled as such because they are produced independently without the backing of major movie outfit. It’s like a cow’s milk carelessly labeled as soy milk.

Cactus Heart Synopsis

My Cactus Heart’ is an upcoming indie film that stars real-life sweethearts Maja Salvador and Matteo Guidicelli. Salvador stated that the film will be released on the first quarter of 2012.
