3 Stories

Three movies over the weekend was good 'nuff of a break after a 5 mentally atrophic office days:

Friday: Shrooms - Virus meets Gothika. Ito ang hirap kapag nasanay na sa mga palabas na yung twist ng istorya ay ipapakita sa last minutes nung film. Mahirap na ma-enjoy yung kwento kasi mas ina-anticipate mo na there was something behind all the crimes and it will be exposed before the credits show up.

Saturday: Slumdog Millionaire - It reminds me of Lino Brocka/Ishmael Bernal social realist genres pero ang pagkakaiba nila happy ang ending. Kakabilib umarte yung mga batang Jamal, Salim at Latika who, if I'm not mistaken, are amateurs in acting. Nakatulong din kasi siguro yung tunay na pamumuhay ng mga bata, na kung hindi ako ulit nagkakamali, kinuha sila sa slum area ng India. From the dynamic direk Danny Boyle (Remember Trainspotting?).

Sunday: Changeling - 2 things:
1. Mahabang komentaryo ng bulok na sistema noon na kita pa rin ngayon (Ho-hum).
2. My first encounter of the word 'Changeling.'
