Manila Film Festival Movies: I want to watch!

Sunday, December 21, 2008

Ranking the MMF movies from the one that I really wanna watch, down to the least wanted one! 

Escaleras and Ungasis: 20 Years After 

No, seriously.

Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat 

I love Ai-Ai. I watched one of her concerts and BOY can that woman dance. I’m thinking she can beat a lot of kids my age (YES I’M A KID) in a snap. Or maybe I’m just exaggerating. But really. I love her. 

Desperadas 2 

Last year, I watched Desperadas with my sister a couple of days after my parents watched it. My dad didn’t want us to watch it cause it was too mindless for him and it was mostly about sexuality blah. (My dad cannot comprehend Filipino all that well but he understood the movie fine — mindless.) So… What say you, sister?

Dayo

I’m not exactly big on cartoons but this is quite the effort. The Philippines isn’t exactly known for its animated films, is it? 

Shake, Rattle and Roll 10 

I’ve watched Shake, Rattle and Roll as a kid. I’ve been scared shitless watching this at an age when I couldn’t have known better. So… bad special effects and photoshop-ing will not stop me from watching this one. But an empty wallet might.

One Night Only

I didn’t enjoy the trailer. It seemed like it had too simple a plot to seriously enjoy. 

Baler 

I’m not a huge fan of Jericho Rosales. Nuff said. Although it is a love story. But then I don’t want anything tragic for my Christmas, thank you very much. Although I am interested in watching something about our country’s past. I’m thinking that if Bong has a say in this, this will be part of the top half in his list or something!

Magkaibigan 

Err. What’s this about again? A friendship between a bunch of people I don’t really know.

Well, we’re not known for our animation, but there are lots of animation companies that have their shit done here, in this country. Are you old enough to remember the old X-Men Animated Series? Most tweening was done here. Toei is here.

The difference isn’t talent- it’s budget and equipment and knowledge distribution.

But but! Labor is cheap here! :o Oh maybe that’s why. Local companies pay local prices. And then international company pay international prices? :> Teehee.
