Image
#WalWalOfficialMovieTrailer Adjective.  walwal . baggy; loose. haggard. having the tongue hanging out (as a tired dog)-Wiktionary (walwal is lawlaw in reverse), but Nestor Cuartero wrote in his article that Walwal” is derived from a popular slang that Millennials frequently use. The term is believed to emanate from the phrase “walang pakialam” and its closest English translation is “to get wasted” from drinking too much alcohol. DIRECTED BY JOSE JAVIER REYES a.k.a. Joey Reyes WRITTEN BY MARK GERARD FOLIENTE, who, at nineteen(19), currently holds the title to the youngest Filipino screenwriter for a full-length mainstream film feature A nineteen-year-old young man wrote the script for this movie and boy, we are impressed. People from our generation are the parents of the millennials and more often than not, millennials get judged like being "entitled" or people who do not know better than us. Incidentally, two friends of the family play the fathers of two...

Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita (A Film By Lino Brocka) 1989 and The GMA 7 Sine Novela (Directed by Joel Lamangan) 2008

( SOURCE ) One of my favourite movies of all time is BABANGON AKO'T DUDURUGIN KITA...almost all Lino Brocka films, for me, are classics and worth watching. Revenge may sound sweet to those who have the means to destroy the lives of those who ruined theirs in the past, but in the end, you would realise that it is just a vicious cycle.  If you do win in the end, would you really feel like a winner? This is one of my favourite Bembol Roco films, and I think this is also one of the best Sharon Cuneta has ever starred in. I think besides the horror of politics and scandalous relationships, I think that one of the lessons of this movie is that we should never treat anyone we love as gods and make them our world because it would eventually destroy us.  Another lesson is that crime does not pay. Ruben Rustia, who plays Salve's dad, made us feel his displaced love for his daughter.  He had all the good intentions for his daughter, but his heart got broke...

Acy Q. Ramos - screenplay (also known for With A Smile, Princess in the Palace, etc.)    Mark A. Reyes V is a very versatile director.  He is able to direct movies, TV Shows, TV series or whatever else without being stuck in one genre.   Trip Ubusan is supposed to be a parody or a spoof of TRAIN TO BUSAN,  but like some of the critics or reviewers described, it's more than that. Of course, I had to see it for myself.  Would I have a different opinion or would I agree with them?   After watching it I agree with them. The movie is not just about laughs or scary zombies, it's...

REKORDER: a "thinkers' movie"

Image
Ronnie Quizon is an underrated actor who is more than just his father's son and that's the very reason why I fully support this film. Without expecting to like it, my best friend, Eise, accompanied me to watch it at the Alabang Town Center Cinema 4.  When I bought the tickets, a total of three people purchased the tickets. Tsk, tsk.   Unlike in Greenbelt where people were aware of the film fest, people from Alabang seemed oblivious to the fact.  I usually post things after the fact, but   I felt that I just had to do something and hopefully, someone would notice.    I don't even check-in because of security reasons(talo pa artista at politico, LOL), but I was compelled to post my ticket purchase(s).    I don't know if it helped or not, but  it does not matter.  Even if the place wasn't jam-packed or anything, there were more people who experienced  the movie with us.
