Movie Review: Nasaan Si Hesus
Movie Review: Jackstone 5
If you’ve been longing for a classic pang-masa Filipino comedy—raw,
real, and delightfully funny, Jackstone 5 is exactly the film that
brings back that nostalgic charm. It has the warmth of old-school humor
mixed with heartfelt storytelling, capturing the spirit of friendship
that has stood the test of time. The story follows five childhood
friends who once called themselves the “Jackstone 5.” After decades of
living their separate lives, they reunite for a long-overdue trip that
takes them back to their old hometowns. What begins as a lighthearted
adventure filled with teasing, laughter, and shared memories gradually
becomes a deeper journey of reflection. As they revisit the spaces where
they grew up, old secrets resurface, long-buried tensions emerge, and
the truths they once hid to survive a conservative society slowly unveil
themselves.

Movie Review: Salvageland
SalvageLand
delivers a masterful blend of suspense and storytelling, a neo-Western
thriller that grips the audience from start to finish. Set against the
haunting, sun-baked landscapes of Mount Pinatubo, the film follows a
veteran police officer and his rookie son, isolated in a remote outpost,
when a high-value fugitive from a powerful crime syndicate unexpectedly
seeks refuge. What begins as a routine night spirals into a desperate
standoff, forcing father and son to confront not only external threats
but also their own fears, loyalties, and moral boundaries. The stakes
are high: uphold the law or survive as a family.

Movie Review: Lakambini, Gregoria De Jesus
Unlike the usual linear biopic, Lakambini isn’t your typical historical film. It’s not a straightforward drama; it’s what the filmmakers call a “meta docufiction.” The film intertwines dramatized sequences from the unfinished 2015 feature with documentary interviews featuring historians, descendants, and the creative team who fought to bring this story back to life. This dual structure turns Lakambini into both a cinematic experience and a film about filmmaking — an introspective look at how stories, especially those of women, are remembered or forgotten.
Originally conceived as a full-length period drama directed by Jeffrey Jeturian and written by Palanca Award-winning playwright Rody Vera, Lakambini faced production hurdles when funding was cut. A decade later, producer Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil and filmmaker Arjanmar Rebeta ingeniously transformed its fragments into a hybrid film — part memory, part resurrection. The finished film feels like a quiet revolution in itself, turning what could’ve been a lost story into something alive and unforgettable.
