MOVIE REVIEW: ALIVE (Cho Il-hyung, 2020)

Landian in the time of a zombie apocalypse? Pass.

Pero sana panoorin ng nanay ko ‘to para di na niya ako pagalitan na puro noodles at de lata ang laman ng pantry ko.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

MOVIE REVIEW: FACE/OFF (John Woo, 1997)

I missed the time when Nicolas Cage and John Travolta were still considered well-respected actors while they relished every single campy moment in Hollywood films.

My Face Swap for a Day wishes: Chris Hemsworth, Matt Bomer, or Enrique Gil.

Rating: ★★★★☆

MOVIE REVIEW: HERE COMES THE BRIDE (Chris Martinez, 2010)

“Apir, apir, apir! Hindi na uso yan. Wisik-wisik na lang. Masdan mo ang beauty kwooohhh, tataas ang kilay mwohhh! Tseeehh!!” Achieve na achieve si Angelica Panganiban dito. Definitely one of the best comedic performances in Philippine cinema history.

Mahusay din ang buong ensemble. Ang saya nung sequence ng multiple personality switches during the second solar eclipse. Lalong na-highlight kung gaano ka-talented yung cast. Given naman na magagaling na mga komedyante sina Eugene Domingo, John Lapus, and Tuesday Vargas, pero who knew na sobrang nakakatawa ni Jaime Fabregas? Kahit ilang beses ko na ito napanood ang lakas pa rin ng tawa ko sa Markova bit niya.

Pero yung totoo, kung magising ka isang araw sa katawan ni Angelica, ano ang unang-una mong gagawin? Wrong answers only.

Rating: ★★★★☆
