Yeah...he has lost his touch on Nights of Serafina where the cast were just posing for a cologne ad just like Tony Scott's....TOP GUN.

and that was the last movie he directed... what a shame.

I don't know what came to his mind to accept that project....btw he was part of Lav Diaz' BATANG WESTSIDE as one of the producers....sort of a way to redeem himself after that awful movie....

No offense meant to her but she looks like the female version of Kingkong due to her massive height....

Yeah Georgia Ortega. Can't remember her name.

maybe 'coz her performance was forgettable?

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #67 on:** Aug 13, 2004 at 11:56 AM »

Maybe, except for the face in the food scene. I actually liked Angelika better there (and she was great in Mario O'Hara's Manananggal in Manila).

oh yeah Angelika de la Cruz was in Nights Of Serafina... her's was a short role wasn't she the young probinsyana who fell in love with Caloy Salvador in the movie?

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #69 on:** Aug 16, 2004 at 11:52 AM »

Short but pretty. And she was very, very good in my favoirte recent Ricky Lee script, the short segment Ang Kuba in (if I remember correctly) Magandang Hatinggabi.

Joey Gosiengfiao greenlight the so-called "pito pito" films wherein the likes of Lav Diaz, Jeffrey Jeturian came out.

A few years later he & jeffrey had a misunderstanding when he deleted some scenes before the theatrical run of Jeff's TUHOG.

yeah Joey was the head of Good Harvest Production the independent film arm of Regal.

Is it true Jo that almost 90% of all the trailers/sneak previews in Regal are made by Joey?

I don't know if they already patched up their diffrences....Jeffrey & Joey.

BTW... TUHOG was screened in Venice Film Festival.

i have to say yes to this one Keating... although each movie Regal makes has a trailer director it's still basically Joey's call.

Are you in contact with Joey, Jojo? Does he have--gasp--email now?!

He should be rich by now....shall I say stockholder of Regal Films. He helped built that company.

Did he also discover Alma? Almost all of her movies were made by him in the 70's, 80's.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #76 on:** Aug 19, 2004 at 01:04 PM »

Rich? Well, he owns a club, he has a van with a driver, he's got a cellphone (that he doesn't know how to send text messages with). Sometimes his phone gets cut off. Maybe, yeah.

That set him apart from Elwood... saw the man a few years back in Mag-Net in Mega and he was talking to somebody over the phone, he has no cell....

Noel what could be the Best Film of the two? Just print yesterday your essay on the late Ishmael Bernal.....

TEMPTATION ISLAND

Forget Pedro Almodovar, THIS is the great surreal camp classic.

What happened to Jessica Zafra's....FLIP Movie Club? I thought they will screen this Gosiengfiao flick.

The print which Cinema One shows still exist and pristine.

Temptation Island is indeed a camp classic... it's usually shown on cinema one & is now available on vcd at regalfilms.com

One of the greatest moments in TEMPTATION ISLAND was the explosion of the ship...it looks like it was just copy & paste something like an illustration especially the fire scene....

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #85 on:** Sep 05, 2004 at 04:51 AM »

I'd say one of the great moments out of many in Temptation Island is the giant chicken...that, or the giant ice cream cone...

i remember watching a retrospective documentary on the making of Temptation Island and Mel Chionglo the films' Production Designer said the giant chicken & ice cream were all made of paper mache that they would crumple due to the intense heat...

Gosiengfiao's The Rape of Virginia P is an outrageous take on the rape-revenge genre.There's even a delightfully tasteless "pause-play" love scene.

One of my former co-workers knew Elwood Perez personally.He told me the man was something of a cheapskate.

keating · « **Reply #88 on:** Jul 29, 2005 at 12:36 PM »

Just saw Elwood Perez' ALEXANDRA last night and its more bombastic than SILIP, Perez entry to the softcore bandwagon after the Edsa Revolution. Man, Angela Perez is so hot in that movie.

Treated me to a pizza and drove me all the way home. But he knew who I was. Even then, I've talked to him quite a few times and found him a pretty nice guy. Same with Joey--they're two of the nicest filmmakers in the business.
