Best of June

Since I've already done this season's best anime. I'll now do my list of the best films that I've watched this month of June. :)

30 Day Film Challenge Day 17 - Your Favorite Drama Film

Dancer in the Dark (Lars von Trier, 2000)

This one I think is von Trier's masterpiece.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 16 - A Film You Used to Love, But Now Hate

Oro Plata Mata (Peque Gallaga, 1982)

Not really hate. Its just that, I saw this first and saw Scorpio Nights months later, I love it more than this. And Misteryo sa Tuwa is my favorite ECP film.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 15 - The Film That Depicts Your Life

Office Space (Mike Judge, 1999)

Not really much about my life, but about what I think about this life and what do I want to do about it. You can move my space, but you should never take my stapler.

Happy 41st Month Ms. Donna Wendy Idano!

30 Day Film Challenge Day 14 - The Film That No One Expected You To Like

Choke (Clark Gregg, 2008)

Halos lahat ng tinanong ko tungkol dito, di nila nagustuhan. Ako lang ata. XD

30 Day Film Challenge Day 13 - A Guilty Pleasure

My Sassy Girl (Yann Samuell, 2008)

actually, I like any film with Cuthbert

See Archie Del Mundo's debut film TAKSIKAB.

Set at the inauguration of the new President is the inter-woven tales of people dealing with daily lives: their relationships, desires and their means of survival. A taxi driver trying to stop his best friend from leaving for the province while his ex-wife comes back to his life; a young actor doing extra job as male prostitute; a Fil-Am trying to fill his need for drugs; and a young cigarette vendor who also act as pimp at night. All of them get through their harsh realities with hopes of a better tomorrow while their fate awaits them to cross its path in the uncaring streets of Manila.

On Anime: Spring 2011 Review

Spring brought such great amount of produced anime. Its like the industry making up for the loss of last season, from the earthquakes to Satoshi Kon (yes, I'm still not moving on), with almost more than 30 new series aired and such great number of OVA, DVD/Blu-ray, and Feature length films, this season has been one of the best these past few years.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 12 - A Film By Your Least Favorite Director

Engkwentro (Pepe Diokno, 2009)


Dagim (Joaquin Pedro Valdez, 2010)

:p

We Still Don't Know The Name of the Flower We Saw That Day (2011)

Super Peace Busters are friends forever.

I was crying almost halfway through the last episode. It was heart-breaking, and touching at the same time. But it was not the reason I cried.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 11 - A Film By Your Favorite Director

Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets (Shûji Terayama, 1971)

Very high-concept avant-garde, low fi, and marxist. Shuji Terayama is the king of Avant Garde Cinema.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 10 - A Film With Your Favorite Actor (Female)

First Day High (Mario Cornejo, 2006)

Kim Chiu
Maja Salvador
Double Kill

30 Day Film Challenge Day 8 - The Film You Can Quote Best

Confessional (Jerrold Tarog|Ruel Dahis Antipuesto, 2007)

ayun ay kung tama ang pagkakaintindi ko... XD

*quote to be followed*

30 Day Film Challenge Day 7 - A Film That Reminds You of Your Past

All About Lily Chou-chou (Shunji Iwai, 2001)

Nagpapaalala ng kung anong kabataan ang meron ako... at kung ano ang mga nais ko noong gawin sa mga nangyari sa akin... pero hindi kasing extreme nito.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 6 - A Film That Reminds You of Somewhere

Mahirap magisip ng tungkol dito dahil di pa naman ako nakakapagbiyahe-biyahe. hanggang metro manila lang ako. at wala namang dapat alalahanin minsan. babalikan ko to.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 5 - A Film That Reminds You of Someone

Ang Ninanais (John Torres, 2010)

Naalala ko yung paguusap namin nuon sa bahay ni Dr. Zeus Salazar, duon ko unang narinig ang kwento ng Binukot.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 4 - A Film You Watch to Feel Down

5 Centimeter per Second (Makoto Shinkai, 2007)

Same reason sa Zohan, hindi naman pinagbabalakan, pero depressing talaga twing nakikita.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 3 - A Film You Watch to Feel Good

You Don't Mess With The Zohan (Dennis Dugan, 2008)

Hindi naman sa pinapanuod ko to para lang gumaan ang pakiramdam ko. Ni hindi ko nga pinagbabalakan pero lagi ko tong napapanuod sa cable, at sa bus. Nakakagaan ng loob.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 2 - Your Least Favorite Film

Titanic (James Cameron, 1997)

Not just least favorite. Di ko talaga gusto.

30 Day Film Challenge Day 1 - Your Favorite Film

Synecdoche, New York (Charlie Kaufman, 2008)
