the original running time of Atsay is 2hrs 34mins unfortunately the VCD release has been condensed to a full 2 hours but it's better than nothing...

the print of Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos is at the CCP archives while ABS-CBS is sitting on all four ECP produced movies and has no interest in releasing Himala on DVD anytime soon...

i think star records are not too keen on releasing old films on videos is because it would cost too much, since most of the films need remastering. kung maski nga movies nila from star cinema, hindi na nila nireremaster, 'yun pa kayang old movies? that is also the reason why we don't have deleted scenes or behind the scenes featurettes on our dvds.

it's not just the cost... most of the movies they show on Cinema One have been cleaned and digitized so they can be shown on cable with the best possible resolution. the problem also is the video company's blatant laziness. they could actually produce a retrospective documentary on the making of the movie... tulad ng ginawa nila sa Himala where they interviewed most of the cast kaya lang di kasama si Ate Guy but it was interesting to hear Charo Santos, Ricky Lee, Ama Quiambao & Pen Medina talk about their experiences in making the quintessential Bernal film.

they could actually do it, but they wouldn't. as i've mentioned, they are not willing to shoulder the costs. iba naman kc if they'd produce it for tv and actually put it on dvd. maski nga sarili nilang movies, hindi nila nireremaster. their process is film > digitized editing > film > dvd/vcd, thus sobrang nababawasan na 'yung quality. kakalungkot talaga kung iisipin.

kahit naman cguro kahit hindi perfect ang quality maski na watchable, para mas ramdam mo ang atmosphere ng film, na tlagang luma na..

BTW, Nora's highest grossing film pala is Flor Contemplacion story! Its the 1st filipino film na makalampas sa PHP 100 M! Also, it's the HIGHEST GROSSING FILIPINO FILM for 2 Years (Until it was beaten by Jose Rizal...) Galing ni Ate Guy! And Bituin is one of the highest rated TV shows of all time reaching 48%...

ANG PINAKA:
PABORITONG NORA AUNOR MOVIES
AIRING: JULY 8, 2007

Ngayong Linggo, kakaiba na naman ang gagawing paglilista ng "Ang
Pinaka" dahil magpopokus ang programa sa makulay na filmography ng
isang walang kaparis na bituin, ang nag-iisang Superstar, at most
enduring icon ng Philippine cinema. Ililista ng natatanging listahan
ng bayan ang "Sampung Pinakapaboritong Nora Aunor Movies"!

Twelve years old pa lang si Nora Cabaltera Villamayor nang magwagi
siya sa 'Darigold Jamboree singing contest' sa Naga. Nasundan ito ng
tagumpay sa 'Tawag ng Tanghalan,' at noong 1967, matagumpay na naka-
crossover sa pelikula ang teen singing sensation. Forty years later,
namayagpag na sa radyo, musika, telebisyon, pelikula, at teatro si
Ate Guy, kung kaya't itinuturing siyang 'multimedia artist par
excellence.' Pero sa mahigit dalawang daang pelikula ni Ate Guy sa
loob ng limang dekada, alin kaya ang mapapasok sa ating listahan?

Makakasama ni Pia Guanio sa paglilista ang mga panelistang self-
confessed Noranians na sina: Filmmaker Nick de Ocampo, Entertainment
columnist Isah V. Red, TV director Khryss Adalia,
Lifestyle/entertain ment editor Ricky T. Gallardo, former GANAP
(Grand Alliance of Nora Aunor Philippines) President Mandy L. Diaz
Jr. at "Si Nora sa mga Noranian" book editor Nestor de Guzman.

Isang exciting episode ito kaya 'wag n'yong palalampasin "Ang
Sampung Pinakapaboritong Nora Aunor Movies" ngayong Linggo, July 8,
2007, sa "Ang Pinaka", 6 PM, sa QTV 11 (Channel 24 sa Sky at Home
Cable).

Nice info. Will watch that after featuring Sharon's Pinaka Movies.

thegoodbyeguy · « **Reply #1088 on:** Jul 09, 2007 at 12:20 AM »

Watched the Ang Pinaka on Nora's movies and most of the entries are okay. It's expected that Himala will be the no. 1 and it's really deserving. But with an actress that has almost 200 movies, why the show only posted 10 entries? They did 20 in Memorable Quotes episode before. Now, I wonder what could possible be the #11-20 if they do list 20 Pinaka. In no time, it will be Vilma's turn (or they did that already? Don't really watch the show unless the topic is engaging enough) I'm interested if they happen to do Ang Pinaka for Hilda Koronel's movies.

Btw, My other choice movies for entries: Tinik Sa Dibdib, Mga Uod At Rosas and Kastilyong Buhangin. Panelists could have also included one Nora comedy starrer. She could also do justice in making people laugh.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1089 on:** Jul 09, 2007 at 05:25 AM »

all were obvious choices and like what you mentioned the Superstar made a lot of movies. sure Ate Guy made a handful of comedies and the best of the bunch would be Lollipops & Roses At Burong Talangka (VL Films, 1975) directed by Elwood Perez, there's also Totoo Ba Ang Tsismis? (Regal Films, 1981) and Ibalik Ang Swerti (NV Productions, 1981) both by Maryo J. de los Reyes, her episode of the omnibus film Sapagkat Kami'y Mga Misis Lamang (Rosas Productions, 1977) helmed by Pablo Santiago and her first team-up with Dolphy in Kaming Matatapang Ang Apog (RVQ Productions, 1975) by the late great Ading Fernando.

i would have loved to see Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo (LEA Productions, 1980) included in the list... it's one of my personal favorites...

sosy_high · « **Reply #1090 on:** Jul 16, 2007 at 04:01 PM »

Ako rin gusto ko sanang mapanood uli ang "Lollipos and Roses at Burong Talangka", extra kasi doon si Don Johnson. Hindi pa siya sikat noong 1975, but later on he would become world famous as the star of "Miami Vice"

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1092 on:** Jul 17, 2007 at 10:24 AM »

Lollipops And Roses At Burong Talangka was the sequel to Lollipops & Roses which co-starred Don Johnson. it was produced by Premiere Productions and directed by Artemio Marquez while the sequel was under Cocoy Laurel's very own VL Productions and helmed by Elwood Perez...

Jojo, kung ikaw ang papipiliin, what are your choices sa pinakamagagandang pelikula/performances ni Nora? I tried to squeeze mine to 10 pero parang kulang.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1096 on:** Aug 26, 2007 at 07:43 PM »

here's my ten favorite Nora Aunor performances Nino...

'Merika
Himala
Bakit Bughaw Ang Langit?
Bona
Ina Ka Ng Anak Mo
Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo
Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos
Minsan, May Isang Ina
Atsay
Minsa'y Isang Gamu-Gamo

What, no Condemned? Bulaklak sa City Jail? Kastilyong Buhangin? Okay, that's at least half Lito--but the half that's hers is crucial to the film's concept!

Ah well. But you know what I'm talking about.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #1098 on:** Aug 27, 2007 at 11:25 AM »

And notice how Bernal's work with her doesn't represent the best of either actress or filmmaker? The cynic and the martyr actress don't seem to mix well, except for one noted exception--and there she's used very cynically?

Ate Guy's performance in Bulaklak almost made it to my top ten favorites...

Jojo, thank you.
The following are my choices:
Bona
Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos
Himala
Bulaklak sa City Jail
Condemned ( I think I mentioned to you in NY that I really like this one)
'Merika
Atsay
Bakit Bughaw ang Langit
Ina Ka ng Anak Mo
Ikaw ay Akin

I also liked her in Nakaw na Pag-ibig pero I chose Ikaw Ay Akin over that one. Nahihiya akong magpost dahil hindi naman ako kritiko pero I can proudly say na meron naman akong batayan sa aking mga pinili.

Thanks again.

jdv1229 · « **Reply #1101 on:** Aug 29, 2007 at 09:47 AM »

of course may batayan ang choices mo... you're as much a movie lover as i am... you did mention Condemned as one of your favorites. my list is the most i could squeeze since you only asked for ten... Noel was wondering why Bulaklak Sa City Jail wasn't in my top ten of course Ate Guy was amazing in that film but i loved her so much in Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo which was a far cry from her usual roles and she played the character with such intelligence, same with Minsan, May Isang Ina which is one of her most underrated films...

Yeah. I love her performance in this movie. Especially the scene wherein she was going crazy after being raped by Ricky Davao. Nakakapanindig ng balahibo!
