This is a poster for  BuyBust . The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the item promoted, Viva Films, the publisher of the item promoted or the graphic artist. Finally!  The much anticipated movie is now showing in theatres nationwide.  It is also a Cinemalaya entry, and I think there will be a gala night on Saturday at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. #RealityEntertainment The actors did not disappoint.  Anne Curtis did not overact and she was very convincing.  Dad said there were scenes that were too lengthy that if they cut it short, they would be more effective. There were scenes that if you think about it are very gory.  That's the harsh reality of life.  Inside the rest room the women were talking about Buy Bust like it was in a dystopian setting, like a Zombie Apocalypse or something. The people inside the theatre, including us, likened the people from Gracia ni Maria to the walking d...

Alabang Town Center, Cinema 4 New Year's Day My two cents worth: You really cannot compare #WalangForever to this film because they belong to two different genres.  Though debatable , I could understand why #WalangForever won.  Jennylyn and Jericho were naturals and the story was so beautiful.  Still, what they did to HONOR THY FATHER was unfair .  They were the ones who gave the invitation for this film to join the MMFF.  They should have given it a chance to be judged fairly.  Instead, they looked for loopholes.  If it were really disqualified, how come they were qualified for other categories?

Deplorable...Despicable...Disturbing Reviews On the Job: Cannes Review by Neil Young With ‘On The Job’, Erik Matti delivers an instant classic On the Job: It's "bitter" in the Philippines Erik Matti  is a very versatile director and one of the best writers this country has produced. ON THE JOB(OTJ), for me anyway, is his best so far, as a writer and director. If you're looking for a film review, go ahead and click the links above.  I think everything has been said already.  After all, this film has received a lot of accolades already.  Some say that except for that "extra" love scene(I don't know which one), the one shown in the Philippines is a tamer version. Until I watch the one viewed in the Cannes Festival, I really wouldn't know. All I know is that when I watched the film, I was very, very impressed with everyone . There's one thing, among others, my parents and I noticed.  For a PMA graduate with a law degree who is a...
