JUETENG & THE MAZE

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Nauuso na talaga indie films ngayon at least kumikita at nananalo sa ibang bansa. Maganda ang publicity ng Kubrador kaya pinanood ko siya.

Deserving ba sa mga awards?

YES YES YES!!!

Cool ang screenplay kasi napaka-realistic. Ganun pala jueteng ano? Kaya lang di talaga pambata ito. Medyo bitin lang ang ending pero kung iisipin mo natapos naman siya. Kakaiba nga lang.

Ang direction naman ni Jeffrey Jeturian ay remarkable. Naaalala ko tuloy ang ilang scenes ni Spielberg sa Saving Private Ryan.I think sumakit talaga ulo ko doon. Then yong rooftop chasing scenes sa Crouching Tiger ni Ang Lee ay meron din dito pero astig! Tapos yong last task sa Harry Potter & Goblet of Fire na Maze ay meron din. Kaso nga lang sa squatters kinunan pero artistic ang arrive!

Best Actress talaga si Ms. Gina PareƱo. Bagay na kubrador. Gusto ko yong eksena niya na naliligaw sa squatter's maze. I love it. Ganda. Tapos yong lines niya about lucky Jueteng possible number result. So hilarious.

Ang pinakabest sa Kubrador ay ang crowd control. Ang galing ng mga extra na nadadaanan lang ng camera in fairness. Bilib ako.

Nagustuhan ko ang film na ito kasi eye opener.

Sana mapanood ito ng mga Pinoy.

After Pusang Gala, Maximo,Masahista at Ilusyon may maidadagdag na naman ako sa mga best indie films na napanood ko.
Kubrador is world-class.

STUPENDOUS FOGGY COMEDY


AMERICAN DREAMZ


I love the style of this dark comedy from Director Paul Weitz of American Pie and About a Boy. This film is not intended for all. This ain't your average popcorn flick too. So beware if you're not exploratory.
It's like a parody to the George Bush administration, Osama Bin Laden with his terrorists and the show American Idol. Ha ha ha! So uncanny! Remarkable screenplay.
I like the nincompoop acting of Dennis Quaid as US Pres. Staton. I enjoyed the Simon Cowell impersonation of Hugh Grant. He was so mean and so perfectionist as well but I think the "pitchy" Randy Jackson and "oh I adore you" Paula Abdul was squeezed in somewhere along the way. I was surprised to Willem Dafoe's acting too as the Chief of Staff. He was amazing! Lastly, Mandy Moore brought the house down. She's so bitchy but charming.
I love to dream the "impossible dream". It's "my way.
Watch out for that.


Recommended only for brave movie buffs. You may rent the video.
