  10. Lol sa best float. Halata naman may something tong SummerMMFF na to! Ang weird ng nominees di nakasama si Rk & Coco talaga or di sinama. Tapos best actress catergory ano yun?? Pwede naman sinama nalang nila lahat as nominees para di halatang may mga manok sila lol patawa naman masyado

    1. Gusto ko acting dito ni Coco sa apag.

    2. I agree! They should include all actors, directors, and films tapos voting nalang sino manalo. What's the point of picking nominees kung 6 lang naman na movie naglalaban? Non sense eh. So you're saying this film didn't do their job, actors did not act well ganun? Malaking sampal sa mga tao behind the movie na pinaghihirapan tapos bibigyan ng mababang rating bevause di mo type yung director o actor. Sobrang unfair saminv producers sa totoo lang. Ang jurors ba naglabas ng pera para buhayin ang mundo ng pelikula?? Naghihikahos na nga pilit niyo pa binabagsak. Nakakagalit. Nakakalungkot.

    3. wala naman credible award giving body dito sa Pinas nuh

      Delete
    4. Tapos nung awards night iisang pelikula lang kukuha ng halos lahat ng awards? Sana hindi nalang sila nagimbita ng iba pang kalahok sana yung pinanalo lang nilang entry ang umattend para sulit yung staff at crew lang nito ang lumamon sa mga lafang dun sa reception mismo! Para di nagmukhang tanga yung karamihang entries doon! What an epic fail summer mmff! I hope this is the first and last!

    5. Bet din namin yung acting ni RK Bagatsing sa Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko ah. Hindi niya kamukha si Rey Valera pero sobrang napabilib kami sa kanya lalo dahil doon. Umiyak kami lahat sa sine, tumawa, kumanta.. Siguro para samin angbtema nung movie nila? Di kami maarte sa movie pero the fact na true story yun mmnakakabilib talaga.

  11. Nakakapagtaka pinasok yung koreano sa best actor nominees pero Coco Martin dinedma? Ganern may beef sila kay Coco talagang chapwera ano kaya meron.

    1. Naiintindihan ko pa before ang chicheap ng entries ni Coco these past years sa mmff pero yung in ignore sya dito sa apag ana asan hustisya

  12. Very questionable choices for the nominees. Halatang may mga tinanggal para di makapasok sa botohan. Oh well that's PH cinema for us guys. Kaya walang kaunlad unlad. Sana palitan na yang mga yan ng mga bata and may mata sa sining hindi puro pataasan ng ere & dramahan. Maka focus sa quality ng films hindi mga basura na ganyan.

  17. About Us Not About Us serious question tungkol saan?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. It is a psychological thriller. Imo, i wish we make movies as well written and well acted as About Us But Not About Us. The scoring and cinematography were good. Warning though, malamang di sya cup of tea ng masa or ng karamihan.
      Also , i watched Coco Martin's December MMFF entry and di sya film fest quality. Same old story, bad production and bad script. Oo he gives jobs pero pangit talaga ang Labyu with an Accent.

  18. The cinema is dying in the Philippines. Need ng Mas magandang stories and unique. Wala man lang historical genre. Sana may mag produce ng Sci fi. Time traveling. Something different.

  21. Anong klase tong MMFF na to nag ingay lang dahil sa controversial nilang nomination na puro daw halos pinasok mga favorites nila

    ReplyDelete
  22. Their basis should include how the movie promotes artists in PH, or places in PH, ayan history ng mga food, provinces, tao.... hindi nanalo kase nasa ibang bansa. Hindi nanalo kase lgbtq ang theme. Hindi nanalo kase uso kdrama. Kaya di umaasenso mundon pelikula natin masyadotayong lumalayo sa dapat atin. Promote your own ika nga. Rey Valera songs iconic yan, Apag naman promotes one of our own provinces.. So gets ko yung pagtataka ang inis ng iba. Ramdam ko kase pwede sama ma improve but same old cycle of palakasan.

  23. Indie film fest nalang sana title para gets agad ng mga tao hindi to Star Cinema movies walang expectation na sobrang taas kala mo hollywood.
