Ang Batang Si Maxie

I got this from Jessica Zafra's Blog...

Just got word from Raymond Lee at the Berlin Film Festival. The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros won three awards: the Teddy Bear for best gay film, the Kinderfilmfest international jury prize for best children's picture, and special mention from the children's jury.

Best Gay Film and Best Children's Film.

That's bizarre.

Never mind Best Gay Film but Best Children's Film?! Wtf?! It certainly has a child for its lead character but definitely, it isn't a child's film!

Flash Reviews

Since I don't feel like writing full movie reviews (I think you've noticed that these past few months, eh?), I'd do do some quick reviews on the movies I've seen lately.



Not as funny and romantic as I thought it would be. But it has its moments. Entertaining enough to pass the time away. Great lines from the movie, though:
Jen: If you'd close the door on me, I'd understand. But I wish that you wouldn't... / I won't say that I can't live without you because I can. I just don't want to...


All I could say is that Jen never looked this hot on screen! Who wouldn't want to get derailed with her?! As for the movie, good enough! I'd rather want it to be a moral dilemma kind of story ala Before & After.


This isn't as exciting and nerve-wracking as the first one. But twisted enough to keep you glued to your seats! I'd say, though, that there's no need for a sequel to a movie as original as Saw!

Little Manhattan (2005)

Out of all the films I saw these past few months (and remained unreviewed by yours truly), I fell in love with this one! This is a rare gem in Hollywood! Try to see it while you still can in cinemas! If not, go BUY a DVD! You won't regret it!
