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.

Congratulations to Director Jeffrey Jeturian for his film “Bisperas” which garnered “Best Asian-Middle Eastern Film” at 24th Tokyo International Film Festival. I really wish this movie gets more support since I have yet to see this film on the big screen. The film is about a family who got robbed on Christmas eve. Tensions starts to develop in the family brought by robbery.

Bahid – Indie Filipino Movie
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
I first saw this on pinoyexchange thread post that it’s touted to be as controversial gay movie. I have no idea what’s so controversial about this. Judging on the trailer, this can be dismiss as one of those gayxploitation movies. They’ll just keep throwing in random sex scenes every now and then. I’m underwhelmed at the quality of the film itself like it was shot in some home video camera. Come on, if they’re gonna charge people money for this, the least they can do is some nifty camera work, cinematography and engaging plot.
