I devoted the weekend in watching 2 films included in the ongoing Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. I based my choice on the supposed quality of the films. Last Saturday, I watched the first, Mikhail Red's Birdshot, because I remembered reading not too long ago that it received a best Picture award somewhere (it turned out to be the Best Film of the Asian Future competition of the 29th Tokyo International Film Festival). On Sunday, the second, because of the supposed reputation of its director, Sherad Anthony Sanchez, whose films I still have to see. I love experimental films, I endured Raya Martin's Autohystoria (& that's a mean feat to anybody's book) but though I liked Birdshot, I lost patience with the second one midway & left the 6 people who shared the cold cinema with me.
Birdshot's quiet laconic pace bored me for a while but the surprising texture of a rural Philippine film noir gripped me eventually. Salvage had no hook whatsoever to make me glued to my seat. Frankly, it turned me off so much I decided it was not really worth waiting for the supposed "surprising" climax. I was simply not interested anymore.
After my experience with Salvage, I don't know if I will still risk watching any of the other entries. I might eventually but I'm still sweet-talking myself.

Bumabagyo na naman kaya may post si Admin hehehe
ReplyDeleteMabuti nga, kadiri yong about GMA at Isis-cbn lang
DeleteFlop naman yang filmfest na yan. Parang yong rally nila sa People Power monument, flop din. Akala pa naman ng mga Yellowtards, magagamit na nila si Kian de los Santos para mambola uli sa mga mamamayan. Fail again, naturally bwahahaha
DeleteAng daming bungal sa mga sumali sa rally. Halatadong hakot
DeleteNaghakot na nga, kakarampot pa rin sila hahaha
DeleteSana pinangipin muna nila yong mga hakot nila hehehe
DeletePanuorin mo si Ryza Cenon, maganda soya
ReplyDeleteNagmasturbate daw siya. May frontal ba?
DeleteDapat bigyan nila ng primetime na teleserye si Ryza. Magaling at maganda siya sa Ika-6 na utos
DeleteNgayon ko rin lang nakilala si Ryza. Malayo namang mas maganda at magaling umarte kesa sa mga Katulong Brigade na ginagawang bida sa mga teleserye ng GMA
DeleteKATULONG BRIGADE members:
Gabbi Garcia, Sanya Lopez, Lorna Ching, Tea Tolentino, Barbie Forteza,Glaiza de Castro, etc
Ok na fantaserye title yan a. Katulong Brigade, co-prod ng dalawang network. GMA ang mga babae tapos ISIS-CBN ang mga lalake
DeleteManananggal yong title, Admin. Merong floor pa pero nawala sa isipko
DeleteAng Manananggal sa Unit 3B
DeleteAno, Admin, napanuod mo? Review naman o
DeleteNagpakita ba si Ryza? Explicit daw. Gaano ka-explicit?
DeletePwedeng magpakita si Martin, malaki ang titi. Sayang lang, bading siya, kadiri
DeleteMahina ang line-up ngayon. Wala pa ko napanuod
ReplyDeleteOo nga, boring ang choices. Parang nagpupulot na lang sa kung saan-saan
DeleteHalatadong walang nanuod, walang masyadong comment ngayon
DeleteGusto ko panuorin yong Hamog, nawala nanan agad. Sana ibalik
DeleteYa, sayang yong Hamog, hinanap ko rin, waley na
DeleteAnybody knows why the Koreans are still ugly despite repeated plastic surgery?
ReplyDeleteYeah, they really look funny lol
DeleteThey should wear masks, baka mag-improve pa hahaha
DeleteWag na pag-usapan yong kadiri
