I can't catch ISANG ARAW WALANG DIYOS on Cinema One.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #394 on:** Apr 22, 2007 at 10:12 PM »

they haven't showed it for quite sometime... i wonder why?

keating · « **Reply #395 on:** Apr 22, 2007 at 10:15 PM »

Yeah its too long already. My vhs rental shop before has copy of the film but they closed and lose their profit when piracy became rampant in the late 90's.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #396 on:** Apr 22, 2007 at 10:22 PM »

darn those pirates! there must be a video shop in existence with copies of classic Filipino movies...

Hey man, Video 48 just put on display the borrower card of the late Lino Brocka on their place.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #398 on:** Apr 22, 2007 at 10:29 PM »

that's a collectible! i wonder which titles he borrowed...

keating · « **Reply #399 on:** Apr 22, 2007 at 10:31 PM »

Yep, the card is now very collectible. I'm curious also on what titles he borrowed. Laurice, Ricky Lee and some other people from the biz also borrows in Video 48.

Peque's directorial debut BINHI sounds like a sex flick. My dream is to find a copy of it. It was produced by Premiere Prods. in 1973.

The official remake was SUMMER TIME. Haven't watch it because I'm still looking for a copy. X44 who saw the film says......it doesn't hold and lack the claustrophobia and desperation of the original.

SCORPIO NIGHTS may be the least political of all Gallaga films but the angst was hidden there when it was released during the reign of the dictatorship.

Peque let it all out thru the libido of the 3 main characters......Gutierrez, Ojeda & Fernando.

SUMMERTIME, although it has graphic, explicit and erotic sex scenes like in Scorpio Nights, it's no scorpio nights...

SCORPIO NIGHTS has a different shock value when you watch it on the big screen.

Jojo I'm planning to go to Ateneo Film Library to check and research some of the micro films on their archive. Do you still remember the exact release date of the theatrical run of ORO PLATA MATA?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #404 on:** May 02, 2007 at 07:00 PM »

it was shown January 23, 1983...

keating · « **Reply #405 on:** May 02, 2007 at 07:02 PM »

Thanks Jo! The Urian Anthology Book has the playdate of all the Pinoy Films from the 80's?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #406 on:** May 02, 2007 at 07:03 PM »

they do but not everything is accurate...

keating · « **Reply #407 on:** May 02, 2007 at 07:08 PM »

Ateneo Film Libarary has the complete Daily Express broadsheet and most have been preserved thru micro film. Even film publications like Cine Manila and the others they have also.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #408 on:** May 02, 2007 at 07:15 PM »

really? can you please check if they have most of the film reviews from Movie Times? especially movies from the 70's & '80's

keating · « **Reply #409 on:** May 02, 2007 at 07:22 PM »

I'll check it out dude. Their libarary I think is much better than National Archive where most of the old and rare publications are now very brittle. In terms of library we are also lacking plus the actual resources, tsk, tsk, tsk. I'll try to talk also to Fr. Nick Cruz he also has a vast film collection. Maybe he has Celso Ad's PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK SI BARBARA.

Jojo is Movie Times part of Daily Express?

jdv1229 · « **Reply #412 on:** May 03, 2007 at 07:01 PM »

Times Journal i think... but it was made into a book by Isagani Cruz called Movie Times

keating · « **Reply #413 on:** May 03, 2007 at 07:06 PM »

Is he still part of the Manunuri? I remember Krip Yuson as one of the best critics we have around in the early 80's.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #414 on:** May 03, 2007 at 07:32 PM »

i don't think he is...

keating · « **Reply #415 on:** May 03, 2007 at 07:36 PM »

I thought Isagani was a member of the Manunuri. Krip penned Gallaga's KID HUWAG KANG SUSUKO.

marj · « **Reply #416 on:** May 08, 2007 at 08:46 AM »

Isagani Cruz and Alfred Yuson used to be Manunuris.

Jojo what was the title of the song being sung by Mike Austria's gang near the end of SCORPIO NIGHTS where Anna Marie and Daniel Fernando were shacking up at the same time? Its from the 70's I think.

marj · « **Reply #418 on:** May 21, 2007 at 07:56 AM »

Elton John's SKYLINE PIGEON.

keating · « **Reply #419 on:** May 21, 2007 at 06:19 PM »

Thanks, marj. Its not Elton John who sang it if I'm not mistaken.
