Was it negligence on their part, Jo? Even Peque was looking before on BINHI his first feature.

i wouldn't say negligence... most of the time the films' producer won't even give the director a video copy of their movie. i could cite Gil Portes & maybe Maryo J. de los Reyes who has copies of their films. Gil on the other hand has his movies on 35mm. most Filipino film directors had to learn their lesson the hard way. in my experience it's not just filmmakers who doesn't have a video archive of their work, so does movie actors. case in point, Nora Aunor doesn't even have copies of her movies the ones she starred in & even produced, which is so unfortunate. i'm trying my best to put together a video library of her films, TV shows, stage productions & concerts. i could say i'm about 65% complete. Ricky Davao whom i had the opportunity of meeting last summer has none of his noteworthy films collected on video. i had to give him copies of his movies such as White Slavery, Misis Mo, Misis Ko, Kailan Tama Ang Mali?, Magdusa Ka!, Minsan, May Isang Ina, Saranggola, Minsan, May Isang Puso & Alyas Boy Life.

I think it's quite sad that we're losing our cinematic legacy to nature and neglect. I think that the reason why our present film industry doesn't seem to have its own identity is the lack of opportunities for young filmmakers to actually immerse themselves in our film legacy. Sure, they probably saw a few Brockas, or Bernals... but not enough to consider them great filmmakers or not enough to actually inspire their filmmakers' souls to achieve a likeminded greatness or social consciousness or artistic integrity. Instead, the filmmakers look for easily accessible material - Hollywood. Our present film industry is not fueled by our masters' legacies, but by Hollywood... which is quite a pity.

Mario O'Hara has nothing--zilch--nada. He has the tapes of the Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos soundtrack, but that's it. I even wonder if he still has the script.

Some of the classic films were found overseas by Teddy Co a few years back. Sad, sad thing really that someone should go overseas just to retrieve these long lost masterpieces of Philippine Cinema. It's good to know that Abs-Cbn has a film archive now to take care all those Filipino movies that they acquired.

If the Edsa Revolution didn't succeed, ECP should have done that.

I try not to think too much about what we've lost, because if you do, it... can.. drive... you... over... the... edge.

Noel, if we were able to save those films, do you think it would greatly affect Philppine Cinema's condition now?

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #66 on:** Jan 24, 2006 at 01:21 PM »

If we lost those films, I think it would greatly affect not cinema, but our very soul.

You mean, those lost films can save even our souls, man? To back up oggs post, the new generation can look up to those films and make it their inspiration. One good advantage of this is, they will not be spoon feed by Hollywood too much.

most of these lost films need to be restored and the cost of it is like making another film. i'm glad that at least there are some movies still available on vhs format.

Unitel Pictures, The only company that helping our old movies restored in dvd format like:

Big Time Kakapanood ko lang last night sa SM Cinema. Astig ang dating, nakakatawa ang mga linya. Very Pinoy ang dating. Iba talaga kapag indie film ngayon dito sa Pinas.

They represent some of the very best we're capable of, and from the evidence, that's a considerable lot.

CAVITE

Its not anly about the palce in Cavite . But its all about the poverty here in our country. Ang galing naman ng gumawa ng pelikulang ito. Napaka tapang o lakas talaga ng loob. Actor, Script Writer at Direktor pa. Astig!!!

llanesmark777 · « **Reply #74 on:** Aug 16, 2006 at 05:24 PM »

UMUULAN , UMAARAW

The story is all about sadness or lonliness of a person. Seeking attention and understranding from other people. The editing or effects on visuals makes the audience dizzy. lack of light sa mga scenes. Kahit na gabi ang scene dapat di naman ganun kadilim. lessons from the story?!!! Sorry walang apekto sa akin. Bautista Family produced the film. Romnick Sarmienta played as a Security Guard. Di bagay!!!

MASAHISTA

Walang pinagkaiba ang buhay nila katulad ng mga GRO. Para kumita ng Pera madami pambobola sa customer na kailangan gawin. Mas detalyado dito ang scenes. Bawat isang Masahista, kanya kanya ng style ng pambobola. Di ko lang alam kung may ibang Pelikulang Pilipino na nagpapakita ng matinding kagarapalan sa paghuthot ng Pera sa mga customer tulad ng Pelikulang Masahista. Ang galing ng Pelikulang ito, Napaka tapang!!!

Gregorio Fernandez' HIGIT SA LAHAT

Just saw "Kakaba ka ba?" on Cinema One starring Boyet de Leon, Jay Ilagan, Sandy Andolong and Charo Santos. Really smart comedy! Ginawang literal ni Mike de Leon na Religion is the opium of the masses!

Over the weekend, rented a VCD of Shake Rattle Roll 8. Rather disappointing, though I liked the Yaya episode starring Iza Calzado. Directed by Toppel Lee, I think? The mood he established was really effective. Could've been fantastic Medyo corny lang yung ending.Also rented Txt starring Angel Locsin and Dennis Trillo. Sayang. Could have been acceptable kaso yung ending naman panggulat lang, walang closure.For me, a more commercial/traditional ending would have been: Bad guy possesses good guy, goes after girl but is able to momentarily fight off evil and sacrifices self to save girl.

Nag-Pinoy movie watching na naman kami nung weekend. Saw Jeffrey Jeturian's Minsan Pa and I loved it! Not your usual romantic Pinoy movie but very affecting! My ma and sister were crying their eyes out by the end. I hate myself for not seeing this on the big screen. I actually want to buy the dvd of this and send it to my Cebuano relatives abroad. Great acting all around and Ara Mina and Rio Locsin are splendid here, although Christian Vasquez was a little off. Too bad hindi ito kumita... Some reviews say it was too slow and needed editing but I saw it on a rainy afternoon and never felt sleepy or looked at my watch. I hope Oggs could write a proper review for this movie to help spread the word on this gem of a movie.

Just saw Inang Yaya on DVD. Technically it's a great movie (the dvd itself is one of the best-produced Pinoy DVD that I've bought so far). The movie plays like a fairy tale. It's a little bit sugary for my taste and the situations and characters seem false. But with all its flaws still it's a movie worth watching. One thing that's great in this is Maricel Soriano's acting. I never really like her acting style (although she's great in comedic roles!), I think it's the way she cries. I find it a bit mannered and overly dramatic. Here's she's more natural, totally inhabiting her character.

Just saw "You got me!" and I have to say compared to Sam and Toni's last outing, this one seems gray and uninspired. And it gives the impresion that all PNP SAF officers do all day is bust video pirates and illegal VCD vendors when there are murderes, rapists and other real criminals out there.
