Only reason I buy Sky Guide is for Cinema One.

Also the only reason I go for Skycable.

I think you can subscribe, have it delivered.

last night was Kisapmata. Still a great film

Hi,

I just came back from holidays from Manila and was able to see or tape some of the classic movies that they've shown last December.

It's quite an impressive list, which included Insiang, Minsa'y Isang Gamo-Gamo, Ganito Kami Noon, Moral, Lipad Darna Lipad, etc.

I've just watched Insiang and I appreciate it more now than the last time I saw it (a long time ago, I think that was the time when they showed some Brocka movies at Channel 4 right after he died).

I think it has less cuts than the network version.
I noticed that they've muted all the P.I.'s (bad language) though.

I am also amazed at the quality of the movie. It looks almost new. Has it been remastered? The sad thing is that it's cropped. It's quite obvious in the title sequence. Some of the names were cut on the sides.

One question. Are there any cuts at all in this cable version of Insiang? Or is it the complete version?

On another note, it's nice to see that the original VCD's are a lot cheaper now (starts at Php 150) and they are beginning to release old titles. I bought a lot of them.

I got a copy of Celso Ad Castillo's Isla. I think it's not a bad film.

The Filipino DVDs collection is limited. I think you can buy more titles on on-line stores over the Internet, but they are cheaper there, only Php 450.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #5 on:** Jan 04, 2003 at 05:34 AM »

I think Insiang's uncut.

Why the print's so clear goes like this: Brocka shipped out the negatives of several films to Pierre Rissent in France. They now reside in the British Film Archive, I believe, and Rissent has full control of all except Maynila sa Kuko, which belongs to Mike de Leon.

In effect, Brocka sold his best films to Mephistopheles. In exchange, they have been miraculously preserved.

Is there anybody here who knows where to look for the monthly schedules of movies shown in Cinema One on line? I tried the Skycable's Web site, they don't have it (which I think is very peculiar, irresponsible on their part).

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 04, 2003 at 02:50 PM »

It's listed in Sky's Guide Magazine, available in all National Book Stores nationwide. I buy every month (P75). If you wish I could post schedules of films you're interested in.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 04, 2003 at 02:57 PM »

Here's some of the film skeds I blocked for my calendar this month:

Kisapmata - Jan 5 (Sun) 10pm

Hinugot Ka Sa Langit - Jan 15 (Wed) 9pm

Hesus Rebolusyonaryo - Jan 20 (Mon) 9pm

Kisapmata and Hesus upon recommendation from Noel. Thanks!

You can download the Cinema One schedule on PDF files from this url. They only have schedules thru Dec 31 so hopefully they'll update it soon.

Hi Reuven,

Thanks for the posting.
Yep, I would appreciate it if you could post a monthly schedule of any films from Brocka, Bernal, O Hara, and Mike de Leon.

I actually asked a friend in the Philippines to occasionally tape some movies for me (we don't have TFC in Europe), the problem is that she's not much of a film buff.

When I was there last Dec. I did buy SkyGuide and was able to record some good ones.

Here's a list of some other movies that I am yet to see and heard that Cinema One shows once in a while:

Maynila sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag
Himala
Tatlong Taon Walang Diyos
Oro Plata Mata
Darna at Ding
Batch 81
Bayan Ko
Bona
and other significant 70's and 80's movies or any other classics of any era.

Thanks in advance for keeping an eye on those films.

According to the Guide, the particular films you mentioned don't seem slated this month. Aside from the ones I'm watching out for myself and have posted earlier, here are other worthwhile ones (I've seen them already):

Um, will anyone be kind enough to tape some of these? We've long since switched to Destiny Cable, and I'd hate it if I don't see some of the films to be shown there. Maybe I'll just pay for the cost of tapes and the trouble. Just PM me.

Will it help if I say pretty please?

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 05, 2003 at 09:12 PM »

Many of the recent films--Hesus, Sisa, Bubungang Lata, Pangarap ng Puso--are available online, through mailorder in the US. Try www.regalfilms.com, use their search engine.

The classics, yep, you better have em taped...

sungit · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 06, 2003 at 12:30 AM »

can you post the next screening of Kisapmata? i just missed it.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 06, 2003 at 08:24 AM »

Missed it too.

Something went wrong with my cable connection.

Next screening this month would be

Jan 29 (Wed) @ 9pm

rse · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 06, 2003 at 12:20 PM »

Are they showing Himala this month?

flyderman · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 06, 2003 at 03:05 PM »

No need to order online, because I've seen lot's of 'em in stores anyway. The classics are what I'm aiming for.

Pretty please anyone?

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 06, 2003 at 06:22 PM »

Nope, walang himala ngayong buwan.

Very good, one of Ricky Lee's best scripts. I even know who's story it is...and it isn't a woman

fatima buen story with kris aquino today @4pm, Feb 7 @7:15am, Feb 16 @ 12nn.

Excellent direction by Mario O'Hara, gothic fantasy, great supporting roles by Gina Pareno, Janice de Belen, even Zoren Legaspi (?!) is great.

The joker in the pack is Kris Aquino. You can look at her two ways: this is the performance of her career, or, hotholydarn, even MARIO O'HARA can't make her act!!!

hubog today @9am.

GREAT film. Even over Maynila sa Kuko, I think.

Best Ricky Lee film. Good comedy (not being sarcastic--it's really intentionally very funny, tho not a lot of people remember this).

I received a couple more tapes from my friend sansrival with all these Filipino classics. Really great stuff.

Just done watching the following :

Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag
Insiang
Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang (for the nth time)

He recorded them from Cinema One, by the way.

Hi Reuven,
Sorry I didn't notice that you posted the original list.
Thanks again for the list.

Till next month....

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 05, 2003 at 06:26 AM »

sure thing, just remind me. hope noel inputs his thoughts too so that i'd narrow down my list. it's so demanding to watch so many of them.

kakabanas · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 05, 2003 at 07:49 AM »

Right at this moment, am watching Ang Tatay Kong Nanay .. good stuff. I remember laughing when I saw it before..... now it's not funny at all. I am seing all these drama behind the comedic facade. Hate the background music though ....

Philip Salvador was a hunk .. yummy !

indie boi · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 05, 2003 at 10:12 AM »

Just watch all of the films you possibly can, reuven.

You can form your own conclusions after watching these films. For all you know, you might just like some of the movies that the other members have reservations about.

I myself found Relasyon very hysterical and noisy but I still watched it, and will still do so on Feb. 6. Which reminds me, I need to stock up on popcorn.

Reuven Malter · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 05, 2003 at 08:17 PM »

i tend to watch films based on word-of-mouth, that's why i always consult rottentomatoes.com; i consider my time in viewing films as an investment. if there isn't much good feedback on the film, i won't make time for it anymore. i always find myself disappointed in our local films after seeing some, especially those i eagerly see after having read raves in the local papers. lately, i find some wanting. so far, the only local filmmaker that never disappointed me would be mike de leon. maybe because he rarely makes films.
