love's long wait

Image
does it have to be that long? will you wait forever for the one you love? sorry, i am a bit sentimental right now...as if! i just finished watching  muli on dvd  starring two of this generation's best actors -- sid lucero (intense and brooding) and cogie domingo (sad and soulful) -- playing gay lovers. their affair spanned more than 30 years (it started in 1969 and ended when gma was already the president). i love! (the oh so sexy sid lucero) when they met, sid just came out of the seminary. he decided to come home after his mother died. home is in the picturesque and romantic baguio. he turned his back on being god's servant because he did not agree with the religion's rigid standards on homosexuality (you know, love the sinner but not the sins).  he ended up running his parent's hostel in baguio city. longing for something worthwhile to do, he joined the communist party. only to be disillusioned again when he found out that the party did...

filipino women on the verge of.....greatness

the year two thousand and thirteen is proving to be a great year for lovers of philippine cinema. after a good harvest at the cinemalaya in late july to early august (please click  here  to read about some of my cinemalaya reviews),  came the sineng pambansa national film festival all-masters edition (whew!) and the first cinefilipino film festival. the last two festivals, held one week apart in september, also featured films that were beyond the ordinary. if vilma santos heralded the cinemalaya festival, her erstwhile rival as queen of philippine cinema nora aunor was clearly the biggest come on of the cinefilipino festival. coincidentally (or not!), if ms. santos' entry at the cinemalaya festival, ekstra, was the top grosser in terms of box-office receipts, ms. aunor's ang kwento ni mabuti likewise earned the most among the cinefilipino entries. so whoever said that both actresses' luster at the box-office had diminished through the years is probably hal...
