Best Friends Forever | Ai Ai delas Alas and Sharon Cuneta

My family and I had fun watching Best Friends Forever today, and here are my thoughts on the movie. While it had some scenes I found corny and exaggerated, like a-little-bit-disturbing-scenes where some of the characters would go cross-eyed in an attempt to look funny, I found it quite interesting and artful in the way it mixed serious drama and comedy. The issues presented in the movie are very real and have deep implications–some of the scenes are actually touching and tear-jerking. But the director was able to artfully inject comedy even amidst those scenes.

This made me recall some of the Filipino movies that I’ve watched in the past years, some of the really good ones. I’ve noticed that Filipino movies are going to the next level and are getting more interesting as the years pass. Some of the movies I particularly enjoyed are Mano Po, Tanging Ina, and even some romantic-and-funny movies. Another area to take notice of would be the Filipino versions of Korean or Japanese shows.

Watching a Prerelease Version of X-men Origins: Wolverine

I just finished watching a prerelease version of the 2009 X-men movie Origins: Wolverine. It was a version that still had a some areas uneditted and unenhanced, meaning you could still see the support wires in fight scenes and in some scenes it had dummy frames for the animations and special effects. The Three Mile Island for one, was a rough skeleton and there was no texture placed on the surface of the island yet. It played from start to end though.

Even with that, I liked the movie. I’m planning to watch the proper and fully enhanced movie when I get the chance to. It has been interesting to see how it looks like before it is finalized though.
