Brad Renfro dies at 25
I used to cut his pictures  from magazines when I was in highschool. Yes, I used to be a sucker for cute little boys back then.
Among the Renfro movies I recall watching was the Apt Pupil.
The ”Apt Pupil“, released in 1998, was about a boy Todd Bowden (Renfro), who discovered that an old man living […]

Legless sprinter, Oscar Pistorius, was ruled by the IAAF ineligible to compete in the coming Beijing Olympics because it appeared that “his prosthetic racing blades give him a clear competitive advantage”.

(A disabled man, you mean? A double amputee has an advantage over a normal athlete???? You’re kidding, right?:) Just because the guy won the Golden Gala 2007 […]

No Coke, No Smoking, No Dogs allowed inside the U.P. campus…Roman doesn’t seem to run out of ordinances to implement. What’s next?
No sex in dark places?! Haha…Try stopping that, you prude!
First, I discovered my dogs are no longer allowed to walk around the Sunken Garden. I had made numerous attempts to disregard the notice […]

Donald Trump was reportedly suing Megaworld Corp., a local property developer, for using “The Trumps” in their latest condominium project.
The Trump Organization said Megaworld, which is developing a condominium project at the corner of de la Costa St. and Sen. Gil Puyat Ave. in Makati City called “The Trumps“, had put out a billboard using the same typeface […]

Metro Manila Film Festival: tapos na sa wakas!

At the risk of having possible aneurysm…
I would have to abandon any further attempts to review the movies included in the recently held Metro Manila Film Festival. It was such a terrible mistake in the first place. Not to mention, an awfully tragic way to waste time.
But this is what I […]

Banal starring Christopher de Leon, Paolo Contis and Alfred Vargas

Banal, one of the movies in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2007, is probably the most controversial one. Originally given an X-rating by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for being an anti-church flick, Banal caught the attention of many movie critics and viewers.
And I can’t […]

Pacquiao “Anak Ng Kumander” starring Manny Pacquiao
 
The movie started with an exquisite fight scene. Guns blazing…bombs exploding…famous kontrabidas…the makings of a great action film!
Two minutes and 15 seconds later, I threw the laptop across the room.
I guess, I’ll have to send Manny Pacquiao the bill.

RUNNING TIME: 110 excruciating mins (if you are a masochist!)

Metro Manila Film Festival 2007
Caveat Emptor…
…the posters…the trailers…the publicity…it’s all one grand scam. The scam which was started years ago by Lolit Solis has now evolved into an organized conspiracy. The promoters, the producers, the actors…they’re all in cahoots with one another. Don’t believe any word they’re saying…because behind those inviting MMFF results…are just execrable films.

URDUJA, the Tagalog Animated Movie, may be the first “phenomenal” Filipino Animation that we have ever seen…but it is far from being an “all-original Filipino” formula.

 
 
 
 
 
 
The movie is highly anticipated by a lot of Filipinos because of Filipino celebrities who lent their voices for the characters. Also, we haven’t produced yet a single animated movie that we can be proud of and […]

 UP Narra Dorm

The U.P. Narra Residence Hall caught fire hours after UP kicked off its Centennial Celebration. The blaze not only burned down the old walls and rusty windows, but it also cheated underprivileged students out of their low-cost board and lodging.
“Insp. Arnel Ramilo, operations chief of the Quezon City Fire Department, said the fire started at 4:14 a.m. Because of […]
