Plot ANG BABAENG HUMAYO (Lav Diaz, 2016) Horacia Somorostro (Charo Santos-Concio) was released in 1997 after being imprisoned for a crime she did not commit. Although Somorostro reunites with her daughter, she learns that her husband is now deceased and her son is missing. She realized that a thing remains unchanged - the power and privilege of the elite. This belief is cemented when Somorostro later found out that her former rich lover, Rodrigo Trinidad was the one who framed her for a crime.

My notes on Just The 3 Of Us: 1. The movie reminded me so much of this late 90's rom-com with Matthew Perry as a happy-go-lucky bachelor who had a one night stand with a sultry Salma Hayek in Vegas. She ended up pregnant, they got married, and then discovered each other's personalities while fixing family and work issues. It was called Fools Rush In and I would have asked you to rent it in a local Video City, but I think all of their stores closed ages ago. 2. In this version though, the girl CJ (Jennylyn Mercado) would rather stalk the potential father and be the emotional punching bag of Uno (John Lloyd Cruz) who had a bad temper (F-words everywhere!), an a-hole attitude ("So what? Buhay ko 'to. Kahit mag-swimming ako sa alak wala ka pakialam!"), crazy reasoning (he wanted to take care of CJ and the baby, but made her sleep on an uncomfortable sofa bed in the living room with poor ventilation), and a drinking problem that were all supposedly reasonab...

Hele sa Hiwagang Hapis (A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mystery) will be 8-hours long and will have its world premiere on February 18 at theBerlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) 2016. Described as “a marriage of history, literature and mythology,” the film’s drumbeaters say “Hele” is about the history of Filipinos that interconnects narrative threads on the Philippine Revolution of 1896-1897 against the Spanish colonizers.

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.

In rare occasions that an Erik Matti film opens with commercialized productions during the MMFF, the disqualification of Matti's Honor Thy Father starring John Lloyd Cruz stirs the festival with its controversial disqualification. Here is the full statement of Dondon Monteverde, CEO of Reality Entertainment statement regarding “Honor Thy Father.” When Reality Entertainment partnered with John Lloyd Cruz in producing “Honor Thy Father” we agreed to make a movie that would capture a small portion of the struggle of the Filipino as he tried to transcend the back-breaking realities and limitations of his life. We wanted to tell the story of Edgar, a Filipino who finally fights back. After putting up with so much oppression, he confronts the people that have made his life hell, people motivated by greed for money and lust for power.

Honor Thy Father (also known as Con-Man) is a 2015 Philippine crime film directed and written by Erik Matti, starring John Lloyd Cruz.
