None yet because of poor picture and sound quality. Kung me JOSE RIZAL na, I'd buy it kahit na anong quality siya.  

[siriusblack]

  my wife is demanding that I buy a dvd copy of Forevermore (Echo and Kristine movie) once it comes out in DVD format.  

[Toots]

Muro Ami  

[jaycat]

Hubog (!)

I was surprised by its picture quality - as close as it could get to the original film version shown in theaters. I'm glad I decided to try it, after generally negative feedback on pinoy dvds in other threads.  (vcd version of this film is definitely a loser!)

Walls of Hell (Fernando Poe,Jr)

Trip ko lang bilhin to see the quality of a foreign produced DVD of a 'Pilipino' movie.

[barrid]

Hindi ko na ililista yung mga luma ko. Ito na lang fresh from the Philippines.

Super- B

Ang galing!

[vnO]

Muro-Ami

I wasn't satisfied with the picture and audio quality.  That's the reason why I'm hesitant now to buy Filipino DVD.

If you've watched a good one in terms of picture and audio, let me know.

CHEERS!

MAGKAPATID

bought it for a relative in the states. pinanuod ko na rin.

P&S. wala man lang subtitles. pero malinis yung video (buti naman).

audio is passable. not as dynamic as R1s. pero what will you expect froma drama?

just trailers as a "special feature."

yun lang. judging from what i read here, long way to go pa ang pinoy DVDs. gudlak sa industriya!

[aklan4ever]

MAGKAPATID din.

Sabi "theatrical trailers" as Special Feature.  Akala ko may iba pang trailers, yon pala isa lang.  

[keng001]

Live Show

[viper]

Baho, este

Bahay ni Lola  

Okey naman yung transfer (kasi bago pa yung mga prints)

Enjoy yung anak ko nung pinanood. Nakakaiyak nga daw sa huli.

[jerix]

hi ann! and others?

naka on ba receivers nyo if u r watching pinoy DVDs?

I think kung ano ang maririnig nyo sa TV ganun din sa receiver,,kaya baka magsasayang lang kau ng koryente para sa receiver at sub na naka-on.

However, if the video quality is good at don ang focus mo, no problem siguro..

jerix

[ann07]

good question jerix! yup naka on dahil nga naka surround sound whenever i do watch a movie! yun lang wala pang magic ang pinoy dvds made so hintay nalang tayo siguro isang decade pa!

[Jolam1431]

Buti pa kayo meron nang collection na Pinoy DVD... Ako since m HS days ayaw ko talagang manuod ng Pinoy movie...

siguro kaya and bagal ng asenso ng local films sa area ng special effects and other technology related stuff ay dahil na rin sa katulad kong ayaw i patronize ang Pinoy movies... except kung libre of course.....  

[ann07]

welcome aboard jolam!

you are one of the many na ayaw manood ng filipino movies... anyways, i enjoy it kaya ayun si palabili ako!




enjoy the site!

my recently purchased Filipino DVD is Kabit Ni Mrs. Montero  

[pinoymovies]

Has anyone else bought the DVD of Laman?

Galaw ng galaw ang camera. Para tuloy akong nanonood ng Blair Witch Project. Nakakahilo. Bago pa lang ito di ba, ba't ganoon ang kulay, parang lumang pelikula.

Is this a bad transfer or ganito talaga ang original nito?

Ganyan talaga ang original theatrical print. Pa-effect.

BTW, where did you get your LAMAN dvd?

I've been searching high and low for Regal DVDs locally, but was only able to get HUBOG.  Out-of-stock na sa Astro yung ibang titles na ni-release nila last year (YAMAcrapA & BAHAY NI LOLA), altho folks at Regal Video say they have them in stock but haven't sent them out to distributors yet.

Gerardo de Leon's THE BLOOD DRINKERS ("Kulay Dugo ang Gabi") - part of the Blood Collection

Purchased online.  Released by Image Entertainment.

The great transfer blew me away.  Image must have done some restoration work, considering that it is an old ('60s?) title.

Recommended for those interested to see a National Artist at work, altho this is not one of his classics.

[ßartmaniac]

Hi jaycat.  Is The Blood Drinkers in Tagalog or redubbed in English?  Or does it have an Audio Feature option to choose between the two languages?

[Eulogy]

Just bought muro ami. Got it yesterday!

sorry, bartmaniac, but i can't remember!
i'll check it out tonight and post tomorrow.

[jaycat]

bartmaniac,

The Blood Drinkers is dubbed in English, altho there's a serenade scene which they did not bother to dub. No subtitles or audio features except for a commentary.

Except that the commentary does not discuss each scene but rather a background on the movie and the restoration taken for its DVD release. Pretty interesting that they (Americans) would restore a campy Tagalog movie (& the scenes that were deleted when the movie was edited for American theatrical/ drive-in release, from 110+ minutes to less than 85).  Note that this movie comes from a time (mid-60s) when colored Tagalog movies were still the exception rather than the rule.

Other features include an interview with Eddie Romero (very informative, if you're into local flicks), drive-in intermission shorts, plus all those "Damn Bloody Trailers" for the complete Blood Collection!  Fun-time at the drive-in!

i am kinda thinking of buying the Forever DVD, pero i heard di masyado maganda ang pinoy dvds.

mas worth it ba VCD na lang kesa DVD?

[barrid]

Ready for this....?

Hibla  It will be my first time to see this movie kaya excited ako.

insert: photo which is the same as the DVD cover, flipside, chapter selections with cute titles. Nakakakiliti ng kamalayan kung babasahin.

special feature:   trailer lang.

I got my copy from Planet Pinoy, the only pinoy store I know that carries Pinoy DVDs and VCDs in our area in Vallejo, CA.

well, as of now dvd quality = vcd quality
so take a pick: dvd much expensive and quality sucks
                        vcd less expensive and quality is like dvd
