Sisteraka Film Trailer Review

ABS-CBN's three box office "queens" (yes, I already included Vice in the count) will be seen this 2012 MMFF with Star Cinema and Viva Films comedy entry entitled Sisterakas. Sisterakas mixes Ai-Ai and Vice with the direction of Wenn Deramas which potentially may result to another comic blockbuster. I just don't know if including Kris Aquino into this very unlikely genre will make it work for her?

There is always a first as most say. Seeing how she parody herself from the (horror) movies and tv show hosting references its either hit or miss. The main focus of the film is the relation of Ai-Ai and Vice so at least they got most of the comedy covered. We also have Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla which would bring the kilig and potentially the plot device that would potentially drive the two half-sisters into conflict or reconciliation. This is another comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously (and why should it). With classic face-to-face confrontation scene (shown in the trailer) where Vice offers an higher than usual rate for her unbeknownst sister and then Kris counters that offer with a more over-the-top salary and benefits just to get Ai-Ai to work for her indicates that this is one of those more familiar type of comedy (probably because it is from the same director) we've seen through the ages. Will it be smart? Maybe. But one thing is certain it looks more hilarious than the other 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival comedy entries.

How about you guys, what can you say about Kris Aquino being in this 2012 MMFF comedy film? Share your thoughts about Sisterakas official movie trailer in the comments section below:

Sosy Problems Film Trailer Review

The struggles of our impoverished fellow countrymen have been used so many times by the Philippine movie industry that it makes you ask, can't they think of something else? Well poverty is indeed a good theme for films. It is what gives conflict to dramas, gives strength to the protagonists in action films, and makes a person breaks the convention of the love between a completely opposite social classes in romantic films. But what about those rich people? Well, GMA Films made that somehow possible with its 2012 MMFF entry Sosy Problems.

The "sosy" in Sosy Problems is a shortened Filipino term for "sosyal" which directly translatesto a socialite or any person who is rich, educated, fashionable society and is fond of social activities. So enough of the lives of the poor as it has overly saturated the Filipino film industry, who cares if they starved to death when we have beautiful ladies worrying what color of signature dress to wear for the day's event?

Let's credit GMA Films for producing this "unique" kind of a film which we don't usually see made to film.... probably due to a reason hahaha. I don't know what kind of movie audience it is aimed for. Is it the female teenagers, sosy or coño people, or the fans of the actors playing in the the film? It is really not that surprising to see this "quality" of film nowadays, especially if you look at past Metro Manila Film Festival entries. I would be more curious to see what GMA Film's idea of how the the life of these ridiculously beautiful rich girls (portrayed by similarly gorgeous faces of Philippine show business) is like, than to see what "diabolical" but still pretty generic and cliched evil will Enteng face in his 7th title in the Enteng Kabisote film series.

It is quite a shame and insult to the hardworking people behind Sossy Problems to see that this film about beautiful women have an awful presentation with this low quality movie trailer release. I have observed a similar case with Of All the Things 2012 movie trailer. If this is the case on all GMA Films' official movie trailer then you won't be hearing any complaints from me, but GMA Films have Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles and Boy Pick-Up the Movie, and Si Agimat at Si Enteng at Si Ako and they have decent quality movie trailer. This kinds of poor film marketing makes me think that GMA Films has no confidence in most of the films they release for they can't even go the extra mile to provide the Filipino netizen who might still consider to watch this a quality and engaging movie trailer. Well this is technically one of the last title that GMA Films will release this year. Hopefully next year they can hire a better staff (marketing personnel) for their fim division who will upload a higher quality trailer on their official channels to at least make up for whatever uninteresting plot they might come up with for a film for 2013. Like the title of this GMA Film's 2012 MMFF entry, there is definitely a problem with Sosy Problems.

How about you guys, what do you think about this latest GMA Films film centering on rich coño or sosy ladies? share your thoughts about Sosy Problems official movie trailer in the comments section below:

One More Try Film Trailer Review

Star Cinema's entry for the 2012 38th Metro Manila Film Festival will feature another seemingly intriguing and realistic film... a scenario that happen to most lovers. Nah! I am just messing with you! This is what makes a drama (well) a drama. To avoid being another third party (adultery) themed of a romantic film, Star Cinema introduced an innocent child in the verge of death. This is the main force that will eventually drive this film.

Star Cinema releasing something for the Metro Manila Film Festival is not really new, but with an entry like One More Try, it makes me ask why Star Cinema hasn't made this kind of (bad) tradition ala Enteng Kabisote with its annual MMFF entry. Star Cinema could very well be swimming in blockbuster cash if they do such thin. They can make a blockbuster MMFF entry to contend with Vic Sotto's annual film fest entry (Enteng) by releasing ridiculous twitterpattering romantic films which the Filipino film studio has been known for. Well enough of that and going back to the film's trailer. Again the trailer says it all. We have two individuals who seemingly have completely different lives now but because of the condition of their child which as most dramas will do will not be known to the father of the child will be the main element that would make kindling an old burnt-out flame possible. Then we have the conflict when both of their current partners starts doubting if the intent of the reunited old lovers is to help their child or because of a more heartbreaking reason. I already picture out two possible ending for this film but that's just me. To all I know, this new Star Cinema flick will be on top of your to-watch list because you could either be a loyal fan of Star Cinema films, a fan of the lead actors in this film, or even both. Well at least it still have a very good actors that could lead this film to "blockbuster heights". In the end, it is up to you to decide if you'll support the kind of story that One More Try has to offer.

How about you guys, what do you think about this Star Cinema 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival entry? Do you think it is better if they stick to the more traditional "kilig" type of film which they are known for?

The Strangers Trailer Impressions: 2012 MMFF Horror Aswang Movie with Enchong Dee and Julia Montes

Let's check out what this another Aswang-themed horror film has in store for MMFF movie going audience this December 25, 2012.

The Strangers
Plot / Synopsis

A family trip suddenly goes bad when they got lost in somewhere deep within a province. Besides the finding their way back, what they should worry more is how to survive this mystic strange area possibly inhabited by all sorts of monstrous creatures.

The Strangers Film Trailer Review

The 38th Metro Manila Film Festival will have another horror title with The Strangers. The Strangers includes both newer generation talents with some veteran actors in another aswang-themed horror movie.

There is probably something for everybody here. For the newer generation film fans, more specifically the female (biological and "at heart") audience would definitely be looking forward to see their favorite male idols like Enchong Dee, JM De Guzman, and Enrique Gil in The Strangers. Other more traditional horror film fans could feel right at home with Janice De Belen, Cherry Pie Picache, and an Aswang as its monstrous villain. I believe the trailer is quite effective as it didn't feature what the actual aswang would look like in the film. It gave the trailer and the actual film itself a sense of mystery. Hopefully it won't depend too much on CGI and go on a more practical effects route, but I know that is asking too much. I just don't know what to say about the performance of the younger generation lead actors in the film, not really a big fan of them. As for the plot, it is pretty generic. An unfortunate group of people eventually gets lost on a creepy seemingly isolated province with a shady jungle where bloodbath usually happens. As what we can make of the film through the trailer it looks like they added some mini plot including Enchong's character. Is he a friend or a foe? Is he one of the aswangs, or an unfortunate victim a fellow "stranger" like the family that the film centers on? Will the aswangs theme, fresh faces, and mystery as to what really the monstrosities looks or their origin is be enough to make film fans check this out, or will this same "familiar" (bordering cliche) aswang theme and the rawness of the younger lead be the reason that would make movie goers avoid this film as much as they can this coming 2012 MMFF? We'll know soon enough once The Strangers hits the theaters nationwide this December 25, 2012.

Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako Trailer Impressions: Your Annual Dose of Vic Sotto now with Bong Revilla and Judy Ann Santos

Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako, an official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (38th Metro Manila Film Festival) is an upcoming OctoArts Films, M-Zet Productions, Imus Productions, APT Entertainment, and GMA Films comedy family fantasy film directed by Tony Y. Reyes starring Vic Sotto, Bong Revilla, Jr. and Judy Ann Santos, along with Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Gwen Zamora, Sam Pinto, John Lapus, and Amy Perez. Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako is the seventh title under the Enteng Kabisote film series, third Spin-Off/crossover title under the Enteng film franchise, and the ninth entry on the Okay Ka Fairy Ko! film franchise. Let's check out what this year's Enteng Kabisote title has in store for its avid fans.

Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako
Plot / Synopsis

The story begins with the establishment of the three different worlds apart, bound to meet for an adventure like no other -- the humble family-oriented story of ENTENG KABISOTE (VIC SOTTO), a low-profile technician married to the beautiful Fairy Princess of Encantasia, FAYE (GWEN ZAMORA); the battles of the AGIMAT (RAMON "BONG" REVILLA, JR.), the brave village Warrior Hero of Amuleto; and the high tech-yuppie Kingdom of Diwatara ruled by Princess ANGELINA KALINISAN-ORTEZA (JUDY ANN SANTOS), also known in the human world as "AKO," where she leads an environmental advocacy organization.

Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako Film Trailer Review

Ah! Another year of Metro Manila Film Festival, and you know what that means right? ... another Enteng Kabisote title this 2012. If last year's Enteng teams him up with the much beloved Ina Montecillo (Ai-Ai de las Alas) of the "Ang Tanging Ina" comedy film series, this 2012 teams him up again with Agimat (Bong Reviulla, Jr.) of "Ang Agimat, Anting-anting ni Lolo" (2002), whom he also teamed up with 2010's "Si Agimat at si Enteng Kabisote". The only difference now is the inclusion of "Ako" (Judy Ann Santos) to complete the trio of "Si Agimat Si Enteng Kabisote at Si Ako" this 2012. So what can we make up with this latest enteng Kabisote crossover MMFF film fest entry for 2012?

It seems to be a tradition now, every Metro Manila Film Festival must include a Shake, Rattle, & Roll or an Enteng Kabisote title and don't get me wrong most Filipino film audience likes these annual installments. I just somehow find the (Enteng Kabisote) franchise uninspired now. A series which could expand the lore of its magical land but still maintaining its humor and charm, but instead creates unnecessary crossovers, out of their own universe set of villains to even immortal villains, and usually preachy film about what is moral and what is not. December 25, is also a holiday and day for the whole family and what we have learned with past Enteng Kabisote films is that it is going to be yet another blockbuster hit thanks to the marketing by both Eat Bulaga, the station it is under which is also a partner of the creation of this title, GMA Films; and Judy ann santos on her home station in ABS-CBN. The idea of an having future Enteng Kabisote MMFF entry with Bong Revilla, Jr. (Agimat), and Ai-Ai de las Alas (Tanging Ina) with Judy Ann Santos Ako again seems not too impossible after the success of this film. If you want the the Enteng Kabisote film series to drag/continue with this possibility, then go check it out when it hits the theaters on December 25, 2012.

D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? Trailer Impressions: Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros 2012 Comedy Film

D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? is an upcoming 2012 APT Entertainment and M-Zet TV Production Inc. comedy film directed by Soxie Topacio starring Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, Paolo Ballesteros, Powang, and Solenn Heausaff with Gina Pareño, Tirso Cruz III, and Michael De Mesa. D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? is slated for a November 28, 2012 nationwide theatrical release. Let's check out this Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola 2012 comedy movie here.

D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!?

D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? Film Trailer Review

Fans of the terrific Eat Bulaga trio Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros will be in for a big treat this November 28, 2012 with the release of D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!?. Jose and Waly's latest film has all the generic content of past comedy films, so is it good or bad?

I personally stumbled over the trailer of D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? on a commercial gap while watching Eat Bulaga's Feeling Pogi Segment. It is quite a shame that there isn't any official trailer released for Youtube, but luckily the film's officially Facebook page has one. It makes me think if the producers want to tackle the more hip and wider audience or don't they have any faith on their latest film project. Anyways, I believe that the film's target is the greater Eat Bulaga or GMA network audience. We have a very unlikely but gorgeous female lead who eventually falls for the not so good looking lead protagonist. Well, we already know what that is like from the trailer. It is probably one of the main humor found on this film reminiscent of Eat Bulaga's Feeling Pogi competition where "not so good looking" contestants appear to have a very bloated ego and a confidence ala Jericho Rosales, and it is funny because of the obvious. We also have a very generic plot with an evil businessman out to get their land, but as to how will the relatively middle class protagonists stand up against powerful businessmen? Well if you have watched any Filipino comedy titles of the 90's and early 2000 you'll have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Hey, that is the kind of comedy that Filipino film studios are known for. The only factor that would play in the success of such comedy films is the market value of the comedian featured in the film. Will the television audience actually take their sweet time and money to watch their favorite comedians?

How about you guys, do you still go to theaters to see a straight-on comedy film? What do you think of the genericn storyline of most Filipino comedy titles? Share your thoughts about the D' Kilabots Pogi Brothers…Weh!? official trailer in the comments section below:

Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 Teaser Trailer Impressions: 2012's SR&R featuring Aliens, Zombies and Mythological Creatures

Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 or Shake, Rattle & Roll XIV, an official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (38th Metro Manila Film Festival) is an upcoming Regal Films horror anthology film directed by Chito Rono starring an ensemble casts including Lovi Poe, Vhong Navarro, Dennis Trillo, Paulo Avelino, Mart Escudero, Janice De Belen, Herbert Bautista, and Arlene Muhlach. Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 is slated for a December 25, 2012 nationwide theatrical release. Let's check out what Regal Film's Shake, Rattle and Roll title has to offer this 2012.

Shake, Rattle and Roll 14
Plot / Synopsis

Regal Entertainment, Inc. will once again feature three tales of horror with Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 this coming 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival. "Unwanted" stars Vhong Navarro and Lovi Poe in a story about an out of this world story of invasion; "The Lost Command" stars Dennis Trillo, Paulo Avelino, Mart Escudero, JC Tiuseco, Makisig Morales, and Rommel Padilla in a story about a military troupe encountering an undead army; and "Pamana" starring Janice de Belen, Herbert Bautista, Arlene Muhlach, Empress Schuck, and Dennis Padilla in a story about a very mysterious inheritance featuring mythological creatures.

Shake, Rattle & Roll XIV Film Teaser Trailer Review

It is another year for Metro Manila Film Festival and you know what that means right? Regal Films will once again feature another set of horror anthology in their already annual Shake, Rattle, and Roll film series. This time Regal seemingly plays it a bit by incorporating a bit of sci-fi with aliens and zombies.

This is still a teaser trailer for the fourteenth entry in the Shake, Rattle and Roll film franchise, Regal may release an even longer cut of it including official synopsis of it. I am just crossing my fingers that they won't spoil all three titles again with their official PR releases. What can we make up with the three horror episodes in SR&R 14? Well we have ridiculously fast moving zombies or undead in "The Lost Command" which I think is just enough if you pit them against a highly trained military personnel. I just wish the Rgal would try including a genuinely scary or creepy zombie episode without the supernatural mystical element to it. A bit more on the sci-fi side which they went with "Unwanted".

"Unwanted" features a fresh for a sci-fi theme for a Filipino horror film. Well of course, the CG still needs some major improving but the Philippine Cinema is getting there. The episode features Vhong Navarro who throws some witty lines that might put the "roll" in Shake, Rattle, and Roll 14. I just wish they can seamlessly marry in practical effects with CG-visual effects together to create one convincing horrific moments in one episode. The biggest complain I had with past SR&R entries is that they seem to be heavily depend on CGI-effects which may save them a few bucks but at the looks horrendously lame in the big screen. Let's just hope that this shake, Rattle, & Roll XIV alien invasion episode would deliver.

Finally we have a Regal Films horror regulars with Janice De Belen, Herbert Bautista and Arlene Muhlach with a cliched plot with "Pamana". The mere sight of a tiyanak (which resembles more of a duwende) and a very traditional Count Dracula type of vampire is more that enough to give you an impression on what to expect on this episode.

Hopefully Regal would expand or pick up on what episodes people would like on the 2012 MMFF entry of the Shake, Rattle, and Roll film franchise. The limited PR information released along with this teaser trailer about the film claims that all three episodes are directed by Chito Roño who is known for directing mostly good horror Filipino films. The question is will it mean that the stories featured here will have a somewhat superb polish that Roño directed films have been known for? I would be looking forward to the alien invasion episode which is probably the main reason why this SR&R title used it as the main subtitle for their 14th installment.

True Story of General Emilio Aguinaldo and the First Democratic Republic in Asia

El Presidente, the first true-to-life full-length film of General Emilio Famy Aguinaldo (1869-1964), tells the story of the man behind the legend, from the time he led the resistance against two superpowers: the first against Spain, that led to the inauguration of the first democratic republic in Asia; and the second against the United States of America, which changed the destiny of a nation.

El Presidente Film Trailer Review

The Filipino movie going audience will be in for a treat this coming 38th Metro Manila Film Festival (2012 Metro Manila Film Festival) with El Presidente. The upcoming bioepic film that dabbles in the life, struggles, and controversy of the first president of the Republic of the Philippines, Emilio Aguinaldo. El Presidente has a very impressive and star-studded cast who will all bring and flesh out the life of one of Philippine's historical figure. The film is created by the same people who brought us the 2011 MMFF entry Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story and the reason why we have Mr. Estrada (currently 49 years of age) portraying as the youngest and first Filipino president General Emilio Aguinaldo (28 years old).

The contrast of the lead star's age against the historical figure he portrays can probably be set aside if you look at the how beautiful the film looks on the film. It is a no-brainer that this film could very well be on the top list of the candidate for best picture this coming Metro Manila Film Festival. Hopefully the film won't excessively depend of CGI effects like what is seen on the canon ball view as it plunged through unknowing soldiers. I also have some issue with the slow-down and speed-up moments when they are going all out in the war. I hope that this is just some effects on the trailer and that the film doesn't also excessively use such "stylistic" film effects. An issue that the film could raise is the controversy between the relationship between Emilio Aguinaldo and Andres Bonifacio. Well of course the film is highly dramatized to an epic scale, but will it actually be historically accurate? If it does, will it be lenient to the story as told by the Aguinaldo clan? Then it might do an injustice to the Bonifacio clan? Will the film feature what has been kept in the historical books and show the evil of Philippine politics? That is what we can look forward to in this biopic of Emilio Aguinaldo this Metro Manila Film Festival.

How about you guys, what do you think of this historical and epic film adaptation of the live of the Philippine's first president. Can you still remember your history lessons about him? Are you aware of the controversies surrounding General Emilio aguinaldo and Andres Bonifacio? Share your thoughts on El Presidente official trailer in the comments section below:
