a good week for movies

Manila, PH -- l asked his girlfriend j why we were watching a couple of flicks at glorietta when there were much nicer cinemas in the area. the answer: it was the only place showing something less fluffy than twilight. a good call if i may say so myself.



i went to this party a few days before watching the chris martinez indie film '100' and later realized the i had been talking to one of the film's producers that night. '100' is funny, poignant and the most meaningful use of post-its thus far. in it, thirtysomething joyce finds out she has only 3 months to live and sets out to do a hundred things that make life matter ( from skinnydipping to finding the long-lost love of her life). one of the most striking scenes: when she quietly lets her married ex-lover cling to her and cry unabashedly when she breaks the news to him.



so movie review website rotten tomatoes gave it a 58% on its tomato meter. i still enjoyed this guy ritchie london thriller. it's funny, stylish, and serves up a good soundtrack. best tom wilkinson line: "there's no school like the old school and i'm the f*cking headmaster." and gerard butler as a thug named one-two? cute touch.


here's to more good stuff to watch. merry christmas & happy last week of 2008 ;)
