34th Gawad Urian nominees (2011) | Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (MPP)

Problem is, nobody is really patronizing such films. I doubt anyone who posted in this thread have watched a single film in the list, including me.

Besides, the movie industry as a whole--in the country and I bet globally as well--has been declining in terms of patronage with the advent of Internet and piracy...

iniinsulto and ating katalinuhan ng mga pelikulang pilipino

Ok naman mga commedy films natin, nakakatawa talaga, ok rin mga drama, pero sa action, talo, panay lumang sasakyan ang pinapasabog

[chua_riwap]

gagawa sila ng fantasy films.....ang sagwa or tinipid naman yung special effects.

The situation the local movie industry is in mirrors that of the local vehicle fabricators. They both targeted the Pilipino masa with low quality products that cannot be exported. They are being squeezed out by the superior foreign competition.

I still remember times when I really wanted to catch this foreign film, but it was the MMFF week. Annoying as hell.

Oh yeah... kainis nga.
I remember that very well.
As the the entire world watched the premier of LOTR: FOTR, TTT and ROTK, we get to sit back and wait for reviews from blog sites.
Yung konswelo ko na lang were the Harry Potter films, since those were shown on November, a month before the MMFF.

I remember -- years earlier, pati yung Star Wars EP1 and EP2 were also victimized by the MMFF.

What the hell? If our local films are so good, the gov't won't need to impose a ban on foreign films during the MMFF!

i can watch the old black and white classic filipino films. pero ngayon, para sakin ang mga pelikulang pinoy ay yari sa basura. sobrang panget! nasulyapan ko lang kagabi yung "ekis" na gawa ni eric mathis, sobrang punong puno sa katangahan!

i'd rather masturbate to a drawing on a wall than waste my time watching these crap!

Yeah, those old black and white Pinoy films from the 50's were quite good.
Although some films still stuck to the horror+action+comedy+singing+dancing+romance in one film template, they were still watchable and actually entertaining.

[Stoner]

LOL, yeah, those were it. The LoTR series. I recall saying to myself then, "Maybe the only time when local movies could really make a killing is when they blocked off all foreign films during the Christmas family-get-together season."

Ah well...
