Movie Review: Bitukang Manok

of strangers find themselves isolated and trapped by mysterious forces.
Here, surrounded by a menacing forest, they must confront their
psychological demons as they spiral down deeper into their neuroses.
Movie Review: Red
The better the storyteller, the more people believe.
RED, a shy
orphan who grew up in a girly bar, is the town’s best fixer. He can get
everyone out of trouble but is about to get himself into a situation he
couldn’t “fix” himself out of.
A rich kid is gunned down in a drug
bust that went wrong and 8M worth of drugs is missing. Hired by the rich
socialite- Art, Red fixes the mess but gets framed for it as Art turns
on him.
Loosely based on real people and real events, RED is about the power of storytelling. This happens in the province of Negros where everyone knows everyone and a single story can be magnified into different versions of the truth.
Movie Review: Violator
Manila is besieged by the worst typhoon to hit the country. Talk of the
world coming to an end hangs in the air. And five men find themselves
stranded inside a police station with a prisoner who may or may not be
the devil. It’s going to be a long night.

Movie Review: Esoterika: Maynila
In a voyage of self-discovery, Mario (Liang’s character), alternately
ingenious and ingenuous, plunges into the territory of the exalted, the
charmed and the bizarre, swimming through the uncharted waters of the
unique Filipino mystique. The film’s multilingual cast is a convergence
of Manileños of cross-cultural persuasions.
