Pixar created worlds where living and inanimate objects
interact, learn and feel like a human being. They've made us happy, sad and sometimes angry for the past two decades. This is perhaps the biggest
and the most ambitious film that they have made in a long time. Did they pulled it off or is
this just another disappointing attempt in recapturing their previous glory?
Martika Ramirez Escobar's Pusong Bato rocked the awards night for winning the grandest prize of the 11th Cinemalaya Film Festival. Finalists for next year's feature-length competition had just been announced at its closing ceremony.
The 11th Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival and Competition will open from August 7-15, 2015 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines and Greenbelt 3.
For this year, the competition will be held only in the Short Film category. The full-feature category will return on August 2016. Finalists will be announced soon according to the Cinemalaya fan page.

The opening film will be Brillante Mendoza and Nora Aunor's Taklub. Closing it will be Silong starring Piolo Pascual and Rhian Ramos, directed by Jeffrey Hidalgo and Roy Sevilla Ho.

Breakup Playlist Mo? Breakup Playlist Over Again. Iba’t ibang title, iba’t ibang
bida, iba’t ibang quotable quote ngunit iisa lang halos ng atake. That Thing
Called Star Cinema. Pero ibang klase din talaga sila Dan Villegas at Antoinette Jadaone. Pagkatapos ko mangamba para sa mga susunod nilang gagawin after
E.O.P. at ma-umay sa You’re My Boss, nand’yan na naman sila, tinutukso-tukso

For
23 years and still counting, Fujiko Fujio’s robotic feline became a Filipino habit
for those who can still watch anime in the morning. It won the hearts of all
ages because of its humor, values and futuristic gadgets. Unlike in other
countries, we pronounce his name as “Do-Rei-Mon” and Takeshi is usually called
“Damulag” (Tagalog term for huge kid). Luckily, I’m one of those kids who grew
with the show. Loved a lot of episodes even if the plot is oftentimes the same.
I only saw what’s aired in TV, probably half of the entire series, but this
film made me relive those memories of wonder, fun and learning as if I was
brought back through time.
The second alliance of the world’s mightiest superheroes
strives to outdo its epic predecessor by giving you more characters, more
explosions, more subplots, more explosions, more backstories and more
explosions. It’s still an entertaining beaut as it arises some interesting
arguments on war, peace and artificial intelligence but after all is said and
done, it’s still a prologue for the third phase of the Marvel cinematic
universe.
The past year was quite good for the Western film industry. There were a lot of entertaining movies and some of them were critically-acclaimed. I re-watched 30 of my favorites from last year and here are the those who made it into my unadulterated list, arranged from awesome to legendary.
Nobody told me that this will be a heavy drama. The trailer
looks fine, the poster looks bad. I was expecting of a tiring storyline like
in Ekstra, but damn, this shit made me cry.
