Movie Review: Kapatiran
In
an elite law school fraternity, ironically , law is out of the
question. Kapatiran follows a week in a life of a neophyte, a master and
a lawyer alumni, and crosses the line of money, power and connections
within Manila's society. This all culminates on Sunday at the grand
final hazing rites of the brotherhood.
Movie Review: Iisa
Iisa is a thriller about a never-ending war, a town ravaged by a devastating storm and the woman caught in between.
Movie Review: Desaparadiso
Ibong Adarna meets Martial Law. A dark valentine to turbulent period in
Philippine history, sans the political commentary. A retelling of a
famous Filipino magical tale minus the magic. This Is Not A Film By
Khavn.
One day, they just disappeared. Just like that. One didn’t go to work, one didn’t go to his appointment, didn’t meet his date.
The dishes served were left to rot, and the bed remained immaculate;
the sheets unruffled and unslept in. One cannot say if they are alive or
dead. And for this reason, there is no funeral, no nine-day wake, no
mass, no burning of candles, or recitation of litanies for the dead.
Because they are not dead (or maybe there are), and who is to know what
has become of them?
Movie Review: Anino Sa Likod ng Buwan
Anino
Sa Likod Ng Buwan (Shadow Behind The Moon) follow the story of a
husband and wife who are refugees of war and their fragile friendship
with a military man. What starts as a night of playing cards slowly
escalates into a terrifying struggle for survival when deep secrets are
revealed threatening to destroy everyone.
Movie Review: Sleepless
“Sleepless,”
is an offbeat rom-com on two insomniacs. It charts how they start to
bond while the rest of the world sleeps. Drawn together by their
nocturnal loneliness, they talk about love, zombies and everything in
between.
