8 Reasons to Catch "Nilalang"

Nilalang (Creature) , n. An animal or a person. Or in other cases an entity--a creature not classified as an animal nor a person such as fairies, ghouls, dwarves, elves, werewolves, and other fictional entities (or are they really fictional?) Nilalang (The Entity) is a suspense, thriller, horror, action film featured in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). This film features the Zahagur, an entity that originated from Japan. It kills beautiful women to remain the most beautiful entity. Its like a beauty contest where Zahagur wants to keep its crown, only in a brutal way. It was initially set in Japan where Zahagur was introduced. After the prologue, the set was placed in Manila, showing Tony (Cesar Montano) and his team raiding Zahagur's location. Perhaps the entity followed Miyuki (Maria Ozawa), her target, that led it in the Philippines. While in pursuit of its target, it goes on a killing spree of beautiful women. One of these is the ex-girlfriend of Tony and...

Notes on "Honor Thy Father" (2015 MMFF Entry)

Here the another notes of Jason Javier in the controversial Metro Manila Film Festival movie  "Honor Thy Father." My notes on Honor Thy Father: 1. Two of the best films I've seen this year started with a scene involving a stray dog and both ended with a tragedy. These canine metaphors (dog-eat-dog world? Oppression? Survival? Resiliency?) completely served their purpose and were the perfect jumping-off points for these gritty and brutal portraits of evil within our society. 2. I'm not a fan of networking and this made me think thrice on risking any investments involving fast money. For my friends that did get rich through this scheme though, it's never too late to send me a Christmas basket.

Notes on My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore (2015 MMFF Entry)

Here another notes from Jason Javier regarding on the blockbuster film My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore. My notes on My Bebe Love #KiligPaMore: 1. One of the first few scenes showed Vic Sotto looking at a mirror and combing his eyebrows. This was meant to be funny and it was the type of slapstick comedy that will be used all-throughout the movie. It felt dated (Pinoy comedy has not evolved much?) but still elicited laughs from the audience. A succeeding scene had Joey de Leon referring to Vic's "Sandata ni Hudas". Dated and recycled. 2. Aiai delas Alas, on the other hand, played her character really loud and broad (with matching frilly hair, pastel outfits, and purple & green eyeshadow in case it still wasn't loud enough for the viewers). She kept screaming all of her lines reminding me of my mom whenever I forget to place my clothes in the hamper. I think they would make the perfect BFFs. 3. I was thrown off by the ADHD-style editing with screens flipping a...
