Did anyone of you watch any Metro Manila Film Festival movies?

[scharnhorst]

With the conclusion of the holiday season, Hollywood films are once again coming into theaters, and will soon displace the MMFF entries that monopolized local theaters for some time.

Did any of you view some of the films?

I watched "Sakal, sakali, saklolo", and it was entertaining enough. Kept me laughing all the time.

Also, for the heck of it, I opted to watch "ANAK NG KUMANDER", starring MANNY PACQUIAO. It was supposed to be a deep, inspiring action film, but all I found was hilarity in the acting, as well as the amazing lines.

"Ang buhay namin, parang tubig na umaagos. Harangan mo man ito, ngunit makakahanap pa rin ito ng paraan upang makabalik sa pinagmulan - sa dagat. Sa madaling salita, hindi namin alam kung bukas ay patay na kami o buhay pa."

da best talaga.

[roninblade]

hahahahaha. ayos sa ending line.

[freefries]

yap...we watched enteng kabisote and SRR for the sake of my kids...

then kami ni sis yung desperada, funny enough to entertained us...hehehe, babaw lang kaligayahan namin eh...pero my regret is, di ko napanood yung KKK...si sis napanood nya and she also said na talagang maganda and good movie for the family..

[Type 100]

Wala akong pinanood.

A lot of the entries were sequels, and those that weren't didn't seem worth my time and money or didn't appeal to me.

I did see "Kasal Kasali Kasalo" last year. While it's a good laugh, I'm not convinced it deserves a sequel

[Galactus]

Was forced to watch Desperadas with my wife and her mom. I don't really lke watching Pinoy movies, kasi most are simply designed to milk you of your money, devoid of any plot, and the acting is contrived.

Re: Desperadas, it was funny, but the plot is very shallow. Not worth the P423 bucks (141 x 3) I spent. Tapos may jumbo popcorn at softdrinks pa pala.

[juntzo]

nope....

[XTO]

I only see local movies before kung may pases (complimentary pass) hehe. Madali kasi ako maiinip sa pinoy movies, nababagalan ako sa phasing.

I remember nung active pa sa pelikula si erpat as a sound engineer. (ilan na rin ang MMFF trophies nya sa bahay bukod as Famas, Urian, Film academy at Star awards) ang dami naming complimentary pass, mga kaklase at kamag-anak namin, pirming me pases.

[mhelskie]

watched Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo...ok nman, maganda, katuwa hehe, napanood ko kse ung Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo sa cable kaya nung niyaya ako ni wifey to watch the sequel, madali nya ako napapayag. Wife ko napanood din nya Bahay Kubo with her mom, disappointing daw, lalo na yung dulo ng movie! Pati Desperadas napanood nya din with our badminton buddies. Naka 3 movies na sya nang ma realize nyang hindi sya makakakuha ng planner pag nakumpleto nya panoorin ung lahat ng MMFF movies...LOL

[CVT]

Wala akong napanuod...

Sayang!... maganda sanang panuorin ang 2 senador natin sa "Katas Ng Saudi" at "Resiklo".....
(OT: Si Edu kaya, nanuod,- o nag-"Papaya" na lang?)

[dbuzz]

hintayin ko na lang sa tv. nantok ksi ako sa pinoy movie eh bagal at halos mahuhulaan na ending. ok lang komede. KKK abangan ko yan sa tv. hehehe.

[niky]

We were thinking about it... but... naaah... didn't watch "Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo" because my wife is fanatically anti-Judy-Ann... didn't watch Desperadas because the title and the poster were so "Desperate-Housewife" derivative, it turned us off... "Enteng"... c'mon... ultimate sequelitis... "Anak ng Kumander", "Katas..."... ugh...

Was interested in seeing "Resiklo", for the effects, but I wasn't convinced that was worth the entry price.

[badkuk]

not so long ago, the MMFF produced a lot of "A" movies...oh well, it was a good run...

[Raive]

Nope. Will spend instead for these January 8 opened films.

[eddiebauer]

nope waste of money.

[wewoy_romero]

watched ek - just for kh and fp.

natawa ako not at the jokes/acting pero sa pasimpleng plugging ng goldilocks, lbc, pldt mydsl, clusivol, etc

[Isuzoom]

and waste of time...

[pup2]

Watched SRR dahil maganda naman yung mga earlier releases nito. Sad to say, this one was a sorry excuse of a movie. Wasn't worth my time watching. Usually, strength ng Pinoy movies ang plot and comedy values -- this one had neither.

What's the basis of this rating? From what I read from the newspaper, it sort of depends on how "wholesome" the movie is, seeing that the supposedly mildly religion-offending movie Banal gained a B rating due to this.

A lot of the entries were sequels, and those that weren't didn't seem worth my time and money or didn't appeal to me.

It seems they're just milking the cash cow dry. May world record na kaya for the movie with most sequels? panalo na siguro yung shake rattle and roll dyan!

anong movie ang SRR?

on topic: nope didn't watch any....sayang lang pera, dahil two weeks after ng last screening date siguro eh magkakaroon na rin ng mga pirated copies...so you can buy all the entries in just P200+, mapapanood mo pa lahat....
