maraming salamat po sa pagpuna ng aking pelikula…
tunay na nakakataba ng puso ang iyong mga tinuran.
amblig!
walang anuman, sir. :D
ay, ngayon ko lang nakita ‘to…hahaha. wala lang.
Astig! Bravo kafatid! ipalakpak ang dalawang kamay isama ang paa…
Richard Bolisay is a good friend of mine. We were classmates in high school. We also went to the same university (and were both delayed in finishing our respective degrees for quite some time, hahaha). This guy is one of the very few people whom i really admire. His sense of judgment and creativity really astounds me. He’s really an idol !!! (oh ayan, parang friendster testimonial na, hahaha)
I can’t think of any maitim na classmate but manmar francisco! haha. salamat, salamat sa pagbisita.
Mabuhay sa Lilok Pelikula!
I really dig your blog, sir. I’m relatively new to (quality) Philippine cinema, and I have a sine blog myself: http://www.prometheusbrown.com. Check it out when you get a chance – feedback appreciated.
salamat

Good job po on the reviews. :) I think your blog is the first blog I visited that caters on movie reviews. Keep it coming!
ok dude this is the first blog on film crit i almost respect.
I worship my own writing, but yours gets respec.
Almost.
Hey, two years ako tumira sa Pilipinas (05-07), at lagi na akong nanonood ng mga Tagalog movies para hindi mawala ang lahat ng kaalaman ko sa Tagalog (sadly, despite my efforts to practice, marami na akong nakalimutan). My only problem is that I have a hard time finding films that appeal to me (American or Filipino). May mga suggestion ka ba? Kung may oras ka, please email me.
Also, I hope I don’t sound like a stalker, but hinahanap ko si Matt Berninger sa twitter kanina, at nakita ko yung twitter account mo tuloy. Nagulat ako, because I didn’t really expect to see any Tagalog posts about The National. Of course, I never lived in Manila, where I’m guessing there’s more access to independent music. I’m a big fan of American indie rock like The National, and also of Filipino bands like Eraserheads (of course) and Yano, but I never really had time to get into the music scene while I lived in the Philippines. I’d appreciate a few recommendations of good Filipino bands that may not be super sikat sa radyo.
My email is tylerdr.ape@gmail.com
or you could just reply to my post here, I suppose.
Also, I’m on facebook, so we could get in touch that way kung gusto mo.
Thanks sa lahat,
Tyler
Thanks for watching Cinco and for giving an honest and unbiased review on our film. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
You’re welcome, Frasco. :) Wait, would I still be welcome to visit Banana Split’s set?
Hello Richard. Thanks for your visit in GatheringBooks. I would recommend Bras Basah Complex in Singapore. They have cheap books ranging from 1sgd each to award winning titles that are 2 for 5 sgd – if you’re patient in kind of combing through the titles. I’ve blogged about Bras Basah here: http://gatheringbooks.wordpress.com/2010/07/17/discovering-sgs-bras-basah-complex-where-books-books-books-reign-supreme/
There are other independent booksellers – although I have not really visited any of them yet, so I am a little cautious about recommending anything I haven’t explored yet. I am a regular though at Bras Basah, since I’m a cheapskate that way. Hehe.
Do get in touch while you’re here. :)
Hi! I replied to the post on your blog. Thanks for the help! :)
Hi! here’s a link on how to get to bras basah: http://bras-basah-complex.com.sg/bbc/3_info/en_findus.asp
Hope that helps!
Thanks heaps!
My pleasure. You have an awesome website here. I know a few indie filmmakers in Manila (some are former students of mine) – just glad that something like this has been created – great database you got going.
Thanks. You’re Pinoy? And you used to teach? Awesome.
Richard, yes, I’m Pinoy. And I still teach. :)
Hello Richard Bolisay! I was one of the participants on today’s (Saturday Dec 3, 2011) Binisaya program that you also participated in Cebu with Ramon Bautista.. Thank you in behalf of the Cinema students here in the University of San Carlos.
I do movie blogging too but I am not that formal like you.. and with that, I think you inspired me to do “serious” movie blogging. hahaha Thank you talaga!
Gwapo ka rin pala.. basta thank you! More power!

Hi Carmela. Thank you, too. Nice meeting you in Cebu! :)
i really love your site and admire how you write.
just wondering, do you know any place where people abroad can view/get copies of old filipino movies such as salawahan?
thank you very much!
Hi, I am not familiar with particular places abroad that sell Filipino movies. Have you tried looking online? Also, I think a lot of people upload old movies via torrent sites so it might help checking them out.
Thanks for the kind words, Irvin. :)
Richard, I just read your critique on Captive. I want to READ what you have to say about Requieme. More power…
Richard! Ang galing-galing mo! Ochyen kharasho :D Haha, ewan, nalimutan ko na ang mga pangungusap sa Ruso, pero hindi pa rin kita nalilimutan, ha. AT pagkakataon nga naman, hinahanap kita sa FB, eh sa lahat ba naman ng lugar e dito pa kita matatagpuan sa WordPress!
Ipagpatuloy ang husay, at sana magtagpo ang mga landas natin sa malao’t madali! Mabuhay! :D
Hi Carla! Kumusta na! Naaalala ko pa rin kung sino yung crush mo! Text mo naman ako at magkita tayo! :)
