believe it or not
i want to go watch a filipino film.
stop the press!!! intellectual snob is actually contemplating patronage of local movies.
as they say in filipino english - in fairness, it's an experimental/art film of sorts. it doesn't take a genius to figure out which film i'm planning to watch. the question is, who's going to watch with me???
for those who have been living in a cave, peque gallaga's pinoy blonde just opened last night. initial assessment - i think it's a must-see for serious film buffs. so, calling all movie freaks out there!!! let me know if/when you're going to watch one of the few character actors in local show business.
in other movie news...
watched fantastic four last night. obviously, not my movie of choice. i was overruled by three siblings with bad taste in movies. (don't tell them i said that.) the script was bad, the casting (and acting, for the most part) was bad, the plot was predictable (it IS, after all, based on the comic book series.) and the effects were... effects. standard issue. nothing spectacular. i'm so glad i didn't pay for it. hahaha. for something that is supposed to be a geek movie (they're all scientists, for crying out loud!!!) i was most definitely not entertained. even by the scientific parts of it. in fact, i was more bored by the so-called "science" than by, say, the love angle. (which is actually pretty bad in itself.) it's not the kind of science that gets you. unlike csi, which just makes you sit back and go, "whoa!!!" (just a note, though, some of the concepts in csi are not scientifically true. take things with a grain of salt, please.)
there seems to be a lack of good movies these days. which is funny, 'cause it's summertime in hollywood. it's when the big budget flicks come out. oh well. just a lot of uninspired people these days, i guess.

my friend says it sucked! "hindi typical pinoy film?" well he said it turned out it was. and this comes from a guy i know who lacks good judgement in watching actually good films... just imagine that... even people with mediocre taste think it's bad.. well, it's still up to you to judge for yourself, i havent seen it myself, will still have to find time to
