MMFF 2008

I was able to watch four films from the recent Metro Manila Film Festival, which is an annual tradition in the Philippines. Here's how I rank them,

1. Ang Tanging Ina Ninyong Lahat

• Hilarious. I haven't seen the first one, but it won't matter much. I'm not a big fan of AiAi, and still not, as most of the funny quips from the movie came from Eugene Domingo, who should have a movie of her own. No wonder this topped the box office chart.
  

2. One Night Only

• Surprisingly a very nice movie. It is well-written, having the "six degrees of separation," or shall we say sex degrees, concept. Alessandra De Rossi is a stunner. And Manilyn Reynes as a lesbian will surely crack you up! For some reason, I'm somewhat disgusted with Chokoleit and Joross Gamboa. I dunno, maybe the image of Chokoleit performing fellatio to Joross gives me the creeps.
  

3. Shake, Rattle & Roll X

• One word: Nieves.
  

4. Desperadas 2

• Two words: Luga Luda.
  

I refused to watch the other films:

1. Magkaibigan

• Two words: Jinggoy Estrada.
  

2. Baler

• Not feeling this one.
  

3. Dayo

4. Iskul Bukol

• Why watch when there's Eat Bulaga?

Just Enjoy!

Life is hard, that is true. But for that person who is always whinnying about how hard life is EVERY SINGLE DAY... life is that hard because they make it that hard. Some people are so used to suffering and that's all they expect out of this life. This means they wouldn't know a great thing that comes into their lives if it bit them in the rear and said, "Hi, I'm the best thing to happen to you, so enjoy me!"

So, next time something great happens to you, don't sit there and QUESTION it...
