"Ako ang katapat mo!"

Sounds familiar ryt? Although this is kinda late for me to cover, anyway, late is better than later.hehehe…yup!it’s eric morrales’ challenge to PacMan. Ain’t that fun with boxing, although i used to watch it sometimes or some wrestling shows. but Pacquiao’s great record got me glued to the tube along with the whole sambayanang Pilipinas. ryt after his bout with El Terrible, once again i feel so proud of my being a Filipino. kaberks ko si Manny! hehehe…the previous matches before Pacman and Morrales were lousy that why i didn’t bother watching those. i took a nap which was interrupted with my housemate’s irritating shouting as if he did not know someone’s sleeping.but then when i went out the room to see what the noise was all about…well, i jz grabbed another monobloc chair and also started doing the same irritating noise…i couldn’t help it. darn! PacMan’s been beating Morrales on the ring. The match only lasted til the 3rd round. while i’d say it’s worth the time, sayang nga lng kc ambilis natapos. no thrill. hehehe…i’m so proud of Manny and Moralles also. they both showed great sportsmanship. i salute them both! though El Terrible lost the fight, it’s his attitude that i’m more impressed of. and to Manny, like all Pinoys said, Mabuhay ka bai! once again u proved to the world that Filipinos are worth fighting for.

I was supposed to work this morning… had the deal to temporarily transfer my sked in the morning, then jz go back working at night [may be] pretty much later…

But then, we jz so decided to watch movie. Bah?! Og sa dihang bahala walay kwarta… that’s how it is trying to survive the day.

We are all bored. Really.

And so, we went to Gaisano to watch X-MEN…

Hay naku… gwapo kaau si Wolverine, daw si Pyro… hehehe… ummm.. and also Bobby [IceMan], and Warren [Archangel]…

Just wanna quote Wolverine. This was what he said to Jean Grey katong dapit na sa ending sa story. Jean’s been turned into a Phoenix. She cant control her powers. been killing people, losing her sanity [well...not exctly her sanity... basta sa bisaya pa, mura xa buang.]

Oh well… she told Wolverine, "You wanna die for them?"

Wolverine replied, "No, not for them… but FOR YOU."

Bobby Drake:
You don’t seem fine, You seem like you’re avoiding me, I mean something’s wrong.

Marie:
What’s wrong is I can’t touch my boyfriend without killing him. Other than that I’m wonderful.

Bobby Drake:
Hey, I don’t think that’s fair. Have I ever put any pressure on you?

Marie:
You’re a guy Bobby. Your mind’s only on one thing.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

I’ve heard a lot about this "material." I read it from a newspaper before but I was not so interested then. There was a play performed before (i guess a couple of time) using the same material, with the same title or others had been modified.

Heard of Disney’s The Chronicles of NARNIA? Unlike Harry Potter though, there wasn’t a worldwide premier for this film. NARNIA is the "main" title for the same story [The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe]. Theaters in Manila showed it first (today ata ang premier dun). Jen, our editor/manager/supervisor, told us that the film was able to earn $65M (not so sure about the figure, iL ask her again) for just this weekend.

Well, thanks to Kuya Matt… we were able to watch it this afternoon [ssshhh... he downloaded the file from the Internet]. Hehehe.. so much for being "hardworking" employees… But anyway, it’s worth our time. Again, I don’t wish to spoil your excitement to see this movie. One thing’s for sure, it’s BRILLIANT! And I’d like to thank CS Lewis for that.

And oh… hehehe… cute kaau si Peter (the eldest among the four siblings who are the main characters of the story). GWAPO au!!! especially when he wore his armor and drew his sword like a real knight. My gid, kinilig ako. Hahaha… and I also like very much the little girl, Lucy, who got this strong character na kuha kaayo niya. Well, actually, they did well.

And the White Witch? I hate her. She looks like a walking mannequin (tama ba spelling nito?). And also, one of the most or I guess yong pinaka-nakatsada ani na movie is iyang animation. Not just an ordinary creation. You’ll see the LION (Asland), and other fictitious characters there na para talagang totoo.

Great job!!! Triple A for this film

Hey, guys… got no time to write my own blog for this film review. But i really do like this movie. This is dedicated to my one and only baklang friend na si Ralph. Not kidding Ralph… pinaghirapan kong i-research ‘yong comment ni De Quiros para sa movie na ‘to.

Just read the article below:

There’s The Rub : Time out   

First posted 00:40am (Mla time) Aug 04, 2005

        By  Conrado      de Quiros
Inquirer News Service

       
        Editor’s Note:       Published on page A14 of the August 4, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer    

TIME
out to talk about more serious things. There’s a bit of good news amid
the squalor of bad news in this country, and that is the lease on life
digital and independent ("indie") films are giving the local movie
industry.

In case you still haven’t heard, the local movie
industry is virtually dead. You can hear its dying gasps from here to
Aparri. That industry, which used to produce close to 300 movies a
year, is now producing only 70 or so. And the survivors aren’t doing
all that well. Reputable directors and actors have turned to TV
instead, where work may not be vastly lucrative but it is at least
steady. Their talents though are being frittered away in productions –
"fantaseryes" [TV fantasy series], "telenovelas" [TV soap], and so on
– that cater to the least common denominator. These are hard times.

The
obvious way out seems to be for the industry to explore new avenues-new
stories, new faces, new ways of filmmaking-to lure back audiences. But
exploration or experimentation is the last thing producers want to do, given the high
cost of making movies, particularly star fees, and given the
not-so-sterling showing of movies that have done exactly that over the
years. Their instinct has been to rely on formula, which demonstrably
no longer works. It’s been a chicken-and-egg situation for some time,
one seemingly without resolution.

Digital
and Indie films, which are often one and the same, may just have found
the answer to it. They are relatively cheaper to make. And their makers
can afford to experiment the way the producers of commercial movies
cannot, or do not. They have lower costs-cheaper equipment, lower fees
(the better-known faces are going to them for the psychic income more
than the financial one)-and are in a better position to recover them
even with smaller audiences.

Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil, the director
of "Mga Pusang Gala" [Stray Cats], tells me she used digital cameras
that cost P3,000 a day. Their analog counterparts range from P15,000 to
P20,000 a day. Of course, the high-end digital cameras would have cost
P40,000 a day, but only George Lucas’ cousins in the Philippines would
contemplate renting that.

Nap Jamir, the cinematographer of "Ang
Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros," agrees and says the trick is using the
P3,000-a-day digital cameras creatively to overcome their limitations.
Lighting in particular can do wonders to hide the blemishes. Which he
shows in "Pagdadalaga": the graininess shows only in the daytime street
scenes, which look a bit overexposed.

If those two movies, "Mga
Pusa" and "Pagdadalaga," are anything to go by, Filipino movies are
more likely to recover faster than Filipino politics. Both represent
the wave of the future in terms of infusing local filmmaking with new
sensibilities. "Mga Pusa" makes the bigger gamble by aiming at a
middle-class audience, with its middle-class themes, middle-class
language (the dialogue is in English in many parts) and middle-class
attitudes. It adopts a self-conscious or self-mocking stance toward
this: One of its main characters is a romance novelist for a company
whose editor cannot appreciate writing stories for the middle class
because their audience is "masa" [masses]. In one scene, his editor
tells him no masa woman lives alone, his premise for a story is
implausible. His editor tries to corroborate this with his secretary
who promptly answers, "I do."

I can only hope the movie itself meets with a long queue in movie houses defying "wise-money" expectations.

"Mga
Pusa" tells of a gay man, Boyet (Ricky Davao), and his neighbor, a
single woman, Marta (Irma Adlawan), who are at the mercy of their
itinerant lovers. Its theme is (almost inevitably) that literal stray
cats are more worth caring for than their human counterparts. It goes
on to explore the relationships between Boyet and Irma and their lovers
with impressive richness and complexity. One may quibble about the tone
being a little uneven at times (it strives to maintain a tragicomic one
throughout, though not always successfully) and with some parts being a
little predictable, but those are nothing. They are more than offset by
the movie’s humongous virtues, not the least of them the acting and
directing. Ellen essays one very mature and confident directorial job
for a first outing, and the lead players are fantastic, Adlawan in
particular.

The movie’s many allures start off with its title,
which of course is richly ironic, the coming-of-age, or into
maidenhood, of a boy named Maximo. The curious title refers to a gay
boy living in the slums with his family of petty crooks who falls in
love with a cop, which divides his loyalties. That premise, while being
dramatic, also risks being contrived, and the movie teeters on the edge
of the latter in some parts. But it manages on the whole to walk the
tightrope, and ferociously gracefully. The movie is at its best in
exploring the relationships between the family members. It does a
magnificent job not just giving a face to people who proverbially live
on the knife’s edge but in demolishing the stereotypes about them,
which are really just two ways of saying the same thing. It gets a
trifle shaky in the dynamics between (the quite literal) cops and
robbers.

Michiko Yamamoto, the scriptwriter who also wrote
"Magnifico," gets to be a better storyteller by the day. The
performances are uniformly riveting, Ping Medina (Pen’s son) is a
revelation. But the plaudits easily go to Nathan Lopez (Maximo) who was
given a special citation by the Cinemalaya Awards. It is totally
deserved. That boy is going places, very far places.

What can I
say? It’s nice to know that art at least is flourishing in this country
even if morals are not. Never mind the local movie industry. Do
yourself a favor. Go watch these movies.

Rebel without a clue : Not a girl, not yet a woman

IT
was already eight o’clock when my friends and I landed in SM North
Edsa, my usual stomping ground, a P10-jeepney ride from UP Diliman. It
used to be that we’d go all the way to Robinson’s Metroeast to watch
flicks, but the recent renovations of the SM theaters, sans chewing
gum, sticky floors and cramped seating, proved that the monster mall
really has "got it all for you."

My karma being as it
is, we walked into the only theater that hadn’t been spruced up-which
explained sliding down the aisle with a cucumber slice stuck to the
bottom of my rubber slipper.

The movie we came to watch
is the story of an adolescent taking care of a criminal father (Soliman
Cruz) and two older brothers (Neal Ryan Sese and Ping Medina) living in
the slums. Twelve-year-old Maxi Oliveros quietly prepares dinner,
washes dishes, goes marketing, washes bloody shirts and generally acts
as the little mother to a family of rough and tumble males. It all
changes when Maxi falls in love with Victor (JR Valentin), a
straight-as-an-arrow policeman, who joins the community and
investigates a murder committed by an Oliveros brother. The choice is
clear: love or family.

"Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo
Oliveros" (The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros) is made all the more
poignant by the fact that Maxi, or Maximo, is a young boy. His
queerness is not considered an anomaly, but just another fact of life.
There are moments of sheer humor that made the theater’s unusually
large late-night crowd scream with laughter.

In one
scene, after Maxi (Nathan Lopez) serves his father rice, the father
comments that the older boys should learn from Maxi’s thoughtfulness.
Then he pulls out a roll of bills and hands Maxi a twenty as reward.
Then he winks.

"’Yan Maxi, pambili mo ng napkin (Here Maxi, for buying your napkins)."

Maxi’s brother Bogs refuses to be left behind.

"Ako rin ‘Tay, akin naman may wings (Me too, ‘Tay, mine [napkin] has wings)."

The father good-naturedly knocks Bogs in the head, and Maxi watches them with amused pleasure.

It’s
a beautiful coming-of-age story by the same writer (Michiko Yamamoto)
who made me cry thrice in the three times I watched "Magnifico."

The
movie is linked together with little scenes of affection in the
Oliveros family. Maximo is treated much like a favored daughter living
in an environment of crime and day-to-day struggle. If Maximo really
were a girl, the plot of the story would have been exactly the same.

"Ang
Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros" is simply that, a story of an
adolescent’s awakening to and through love. Though pagdadalaga (or a
girl’s blossoming) is a gendered word for women, attaching it to a
non-gendered process like growing up makes for an interesting approach
in a gay film-if it can even be called that. As my friend Nicolo said,
while other films problematize being gay, this one normalizes it, and
more effectively slashes at stereotypes.

There are no
good or bad guys in the story, just complex people who try to survive.
True, the squalor, the crime and the filth are painted expertly, but
the despair is refreshingly absent. There is warmth and laughter and
the distinctly Pinoy way of finding joy in the smallest of ways. Maxi
and his barkada of other little gay kids stage their own private
fashion show under the eye of an amused dressmaker, while in another
scene, Maxi (wearing his signature flower hairclips) strolls out of a
dark stairway into the sunlight and sees a toddler poking at a manhole.
He takes the squirming little boy back into the house, strips him
daintily, and them gives him an impromptu bath. The boy’s mother picks
up the smiling, towel-wrapped child later on and calls out a thank you
to Maxi.

My personal favorite is Maxi’s brother Bogs
(Ping Medina), a teasing, pony-tailed charmer studded with tattoos, who
sits playing video games while Maxi braids his brother’s long hair. The
protective older brother vibe is very present-very similar to that of
the caveman in boxer shorts who lives two rooms away from my bedroom at
home.

At one time, Maxi, rejected by Victor, walks
blindly into Bogs. After one look, Bogs hustles him into an empty jeep
and drags out the truth: that Maxi is still pursuing Victor, who is out
to bring one of the brothers to jail. Torn between anger and sympathy,
Bogs puts an arm around Maxi and says the same thing every big brother
around the world must have said to teary-eyed little sisters since the
beginning of time.

"Tama na iyak, di ko ‘to paaabutin sa bahay, pero kung gawin mo ‘to sa kanya ulit, magagalit ako

(Stop crying, I won’t let them find out at home, but if you do it again, I’ll be very angry)."

Then Maxi leans his head on Bogs’ sweaty T-shirt and cries.

Soliman
Cruz and Neal Ryan Sese also give an equally engaging father-and-son
performance, while talented theater and TV performer Bodjie Pascua do
not disappoint his hordes or loyal fans (including me). It’s impossible
to praise every single member of the cast, so I’ll summarize it thus:
they are all brilliant.

The movie is far from perfect,
even to the amateur eye. Some scenes are so under-lighted that they’re
jarring. The audio is sometimes hard to follow, and the transitions can
be abrupt. But as with sticky floors and chewing gums, everything else
is forgotten in the whole glorious scope of the film.

"Ang
Pagdadalaga ni Maximo Oliveros," directed by first time fiction film
director Aureaus Solito, is the recipient of numerous awards and has
just recently been invited into Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival
early next year, a first for Filipinos. Just another reason enough to
start singing "Pinoy Ako."

There is one visual that
keeps playing in my head: angelic-looking Maxi strutting down a muddy
alley as if it were a catwalk, narrow hips swinging in a pair of tiny
red shorts. Nathan Lopez plays the role with restraint, bringing to
life a sweet and delicate girl-who-happens-to-be-a-boy tasting the
first thrill of young love.

Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, watch this film. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’m giving it a hundred and one.

Betty Warren:
Don’t disregard our traditions just because you’re subversive.

Katherine Watson:
Don’t disrespect this class just because you’re married.

Betty Warren:
Don’t disrespect me just because you’re not.

Katherine Watson:
Come to class, do the work, or I’ll fail you.

Betty Warren:
If you fail me, there will be consequences.

Katherine Watson:
Are you threatening me?

Betty Warren:
I’m educating you.

Katherine Watson:
That’s my job.

Katherine Watson:
I thought that I was headed to a place that would turn out tomorrow’s leaders, not their wives.

Katherine Watson:
Look beyond the paint. Let us try to open our minds to a new idea.

Betty Warren: Dear Betty, I came to Wellesley because I wanted to make a difference.
But to change for others is to lie to yourself. My teacher, Katherine
Watson, lived by her own definition and would not compromise that, not
even for Wellesley. I dedicate this, my last editorial, to an
extraordinary woman, who lived by example and compelled us all to see
the world through new eyes. By the time you read this, she’ll be
sailing to Europe, where I know she’ll find new walls to break down,
and new ideas to replace them with.
[snapshot]

Betty Warren:
I’ve heard her called a quitter for leaving and aimless wanderer. But
not all who wander are aimless, especially those who seek truth beyond
traditions, beyond definition, beyond the image. I’ll never forget you.

Betty Warren:
[in Betty's second editorial]
Wellesley girls who are married have become quite adept at balancing
their obligations. One hears such comments, as - I’m able to baste the
chicken with one hand and outline the paper with the other. While our
mothers were called to workforce for Lady Liberty. It is our duty- nay,
obligation to reclaim our place in the home, bearing the children that
will carry our traditions into the future. One must pause to consider
why Miss Katherine Watson, instructor in the art history department has
decided to declare war on the holy sacrament of marriage. Her
subversive and political teachings encourage our Wellesley girls to
reject the roles they were born to fill.

Joan Brandwyn:
It was my choice… not to go. He would have supported it.

Katherine Watson:
But you don’t have to choose.

Joan Brandwyn:
No, I have to. I want a home; I want a family, that’s not something I’ll sacrifice.

Katherine Watson:
No-one’s asking you to sacrifice that, Joan, I just want you to understand you can do both.

Joan Brandwyn:
Do you think I’ll wake up one morning and regret not being a lawyer?

Katherine Watson:
Yes, I’m afraid that you will.

Joan Brandwyn:
Not as much as I regret not having a family, not being there to raise
them. I know exactly what I’m doing and it doesn’t make me any less
smart.
[Katherine looks down]

Joan Brandwyn:
This must seem terrible to you.

Katherine Watson:
I didn’t say that.

Joan Brandwyn:
Sure you did. You always do. You stand in class and tell us to look
beyond the image, but you don’t. To you a housewife is someone who sold
her soul for a center hall colonial. She has no depth, no intellect, no
interests. You’re the one who said I could do anything I wanted. This
is what I want.

Katherine Watson:
[hugs Joan] Congratulations. Be happy.

Charlie Stewart:
My parents say my future is right on the horizon.

Connie Baker:
Tell them the horizon is an imaginary line that recedes as you approach it.

[first lines]

Betty Warren:
[voiceover]
All her life, she had wanted to teach at Wellesley College. So, when a
position opened in the Art History department, she pursued it
single-mindedly until she was hired. It was whispered that Katherine
Watson, a first-year teacher from Oakland State, made up in brains what
she lacked in pedigree. Which was why this bohemian from California was
on her way to the most conservative college in the nation.

From the movie FORCES OF NATURE

Ben Holmes: Bridge, ya know, I mean, what I always thought was that there was this
one, one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when
you found that person, uh, the rest of the world just kinda magically
faded away and… and you know, the two of you would just be inside
this kind of protective bubble. But there is no bubble, or if there is,
we have to make it. I just think life is more than a series of moments,
you know, it’s… it’s… we can make choices and we can choose to
protect the people we love and that’s what makes us who we are, and
those are the real miracles! Stop me when it becomes glaringly obvious
that I have no idea what I am talking about…

Bridget: Ben, in about five minutes we’re supposed to be joined through eternity and I was wondering if you’re about to get dressed…

Ben: I fell in love the moment i saw you… when I saw you there up in the balcony… I fell in love with you all over again. None of the plane crashes, the hurricanes and the other people will ever change that because when I’m on that (ehem! limot ko) I’m gonna know that I’m here with the only woman I really love.

Bridget: I think I’ve just heard your vows…

Ben: I love you…

Nah, just got nothin to do that’s why got this quotes out of that movie. saw it last month i think but t’was really shown in theaters in 1999… nice movie… not the usual one though there were times that the whole thing seemed too dragging that you have to fasten you seatbelts… ah, but I like these quotes much. compelling. emotion-provoking. touching. charing! hahahha…

When i get married, iL try to come up with a more original vow. hahaha… ga-plano naman kaha na. whatta shame… but first i should get myself busy looking for a boyfriend. hehehhe… tala2x jud.

Ok, gotta split… got lots of work to do as useless

I
already saw the Mr & Mrs Smith movie by Angelina
Jolie and Brad Pitt.  It was a funny movie, I suppose.
It was my first time to see Brad Pitt “sing” a song (Making
Love… out of nothing at all)… very unusual, but it was
really, really… errr… funny? (redundant ba kau) I like the visual
effects and the tandem of the two stars was excellent.  It caught my
attention and made me realize na bagay man diay sila (well, after
what happened with Brad Pitt and her ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston… you
know… the Splitsville thing…) and try to take notice of the Mongo
Bongo soundtrack… tsada sad kau
