frustrated film buffs who love to babble

26/07/2026

In our recent world that constantly craves stimulation, Odyssey’s pacing & emotional immersive approach feels counterintuitive. It’s a visual poem (not an action-drama) which’s a feast for the eyes & ears. Was surprised that Travis Scott fit into Homer’s world. Rap is an oral poetry tho.

Thank you, Christopher Nolan, for bringing Homer back to life. I encountered him nung Grade 9 English Literature class pa, and the closest thing I’ve seen ay watching ‘Troy’. With rise of AI which i think reduces interest in reading & literature, I hope more young people become curious about Iliad and Odyssey, bcoz of this no CGI, old-style analog shoot type of film. But as Oddyseous says, “don’t look for gods in men; you'll always be disappointed.”

Pero ang alam ko ngayon, dapat humanap na si Matt Damon ng work-from-home job para hindi na sya nahihirapan umuwi sa mga movie nya.

We grieve differently.
Others cry their hearts out, others write.
Shakespeare, unang sadboi.

Oh man, i cried for one hour.
Added to my favorite movies!

We predicted Anora as best picture last year, sana tama ulit hula ko na One Battle After Another ang mananalo sa Oscar this year.

And yes, nag enjoy ako panoorin si Charo Santos.

After Thunderbolts, now Superman. Superhero movies are shifting to more humane, relatable, & heroes with feelings. They are humans with superpowers!

Films are joining the “i am my own person” creative movement! That’s how arts should be.

* Opinion of a casual viewer, goodnight! 😆

Hawaii is a good one.
Italy is better, & my favorite.
Thailand is the weakest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Paradise (Season 1)

Well-seated for the day in binge-watching this sci-fi murder-mystery drama. The poster is just 1% of the story! It strikes the mind, & the heart.

The world experienced environmental catastrophe na magiging dahilan ng human extinction. As a result, some people built a self-sustaining community underground, designed to house only 25,000 people to be SAVED!

Everything is going well not until the President of the ‘Paradise’ was found dead in the White House.

Plus…this could be closer to reality than we think. Just I wish we’re in the right place, time, & our people when that happens.

I've compiled a list of romantic movies I've loved watching (whether approved by critics or not)

I’ll try to compile other genres as well (‘pag sipagin 😆)

Green Bones
50th MMFF Entry
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dsurv ang mga award. Swak at nakuha naman talaga nila ang kiliti ng masa for a just right-melodrama-movie-to-watch with your family during holidays.

Hands down kila Dennis at Ruru dahil madadala ka sa acting nila, pero the best para sa amin yung bata. Nakatulong din ang magagandang shots para madeliver ang message ng istorya - that there's something good within all of us.

We loved how they weaved the story - the thrilling effect of the first act, & very smooth na turn of events sa second act. Maganda ang contrast ng POV ng dalawang bida - then boom, the long awaited connection. We get it why others rate it very high dahil sa emotional appeal ng kwento. But we gave it 4 lang dahil we think kaya pa iimprove yung final act. We felt na overexplained lang yung pagiging 'mabuti', & very theatrical lang yung mga last part instead of making it natural.

But overall, we were touched by the story, at sobrang effective element nung certain sign language sa kwento!

Pero ito ang moral lesson - we listen and we don't judge.

Uninvited
50th MMFF Entry
⭐⭐⭐⭐

If hindi manalo si Vilma Santos para 'muli' sa Best Actress, hindi namin alam anong criteria at judging ang ginawa nila. With simple revenge storyline, good actors, at malinis na build up, Uninvited is a good frontrunner for this year's MMFF (which we think kalaban ng Green Bones). This is satisfying to watch!

Vilma Santos is so good to make herself pathetic, at makuha ang sympathy ng audience. Ang sarap sapukin ni Aga Muchlach, at so so lang dito si President N**s. Sobrang effective sa limited screen time ni Elijah Canlas at Gabby Padilla (oh Gabby you made us cry).

What we loved in this movie is hindi pinilit maging emotional. You will just feel it habang nanonood ka. Iba ang pagmamahal ng isang Nanay. Tama at natural lang din ang batuhan ng linya. But we think kaya at pwede pang mas kasatisfy-satisy yung dulo, but other than that, everything is spot on.

Bago lumabas ang results ngayong gabi ng awarding, we hope this gets the best Actress, Supporting Actress, at Director categories. Okay din sana Screenplay, pero feeling namin makuha ng Green Bones 'yun at Best Picture (based lang sa reviews na mga nakita namin).
