How would you rate the films in 2008 Manila Film Festival?

My brothers and sisters pretty much hated every entry they watched and even walked out within the first 30 minutes of some of the movies. The quality of the movies have dropped to a new low, based on their comments.

I guess I did the right thing and didn't spend a single peso to watch garbage in the cinemas.

What is your comment?

I am very picky with the films that I watch in cinemas because the tickets are so expensive! I never go to the cinemas during the Manila Film Festival. I'd rather go to Cine Manila and Pelicula Pelikula where the films are better and the tickets are cheaper.

I base my reviews of movies off of how well the story, acting, direction, and visuals are. Movies tells stories and I would have to say story and acting help achieve that more than anything.
All that and dialogue are very important (sorry no TAGLISH). Chemistry between actors' and actress. Are actors and actress convincing? Does it rely too much on special effects? The score is also important, but sad to say that we dont have a REAL MOVIE judge/rate also known as movie critics.

I never liked local films, story ending always very obvious. Artists always same faces. Most of us watch movie not because of the story or quality of the movie but because of the artists. Sometimes, no most of the time 1 artist 5 movies in a year

nakakasuka na rin.

Just for our edification... which ones did they walk out on?

My wife wanted to watch "Tanging Ina" because we enjoyed the first one... but I felt that the first one merely succeeded despite itself... they fell back on so many of the typical stereotypes and cop-outs of local films... and I felt that the sequel would just push it all the way into dreck.

I think it was two or three movies... one of them was Tanging Ina. Bad... very bad.
