THE TOP FIVE BEST FILIPINO MOVIES OF ALL TIME!
Movies provide entertainment. It also allows you to escape reality. Whether they are scary, funny, tragic, romantic, or somewhere in between, movies have the power to move us like nothing else. There are so many genres with incredible titles to choose from and so much to discover. A movie can also bring people together has always been a way for people who share a common interest in a film to communicate and discuss it. While some are passionate about other genres, there are no judgments because watching a film is like sitting in front of a blank wall. You are free to express yourself however you want as long as it makes you happy.
Filipino films have always held a special place in my heart because they make me feel happy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy films from other countries as well, but nothing beats a local touch. Regardless of the language, I find Filipino films to be very entertaining to watch, as they can teach me valuable life lessons and provide me with a sense of calm amid the world's turmoil.
So, here are my top 5 best Filipino films that anyone can enjoy.
1. Four Sisters and a Wedding
Four Sisters and a Wedding is a 2013 Filipino dramatic comedy film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and starring some of the industry's most talented actors and actresses. Bea Alonzo, Toni Gonzaga, Shaina Magdayao, Angel Locsin, and Enchong Dee star in the film as the Salazar siblings. The plot revolves around a family of four sisters and one brother. When the youngest of the siblings declares his intention to marry, the sisters concoct a strategy to persuade him otherwise. They wanted their brother to marry another woman, but their youngest sibling was spared from all of their schemes. The deep-seated hatred they have towards each other is exposed as the film progresses. They had a major brawl that left everyone in tears. Finally, they made amends, accepted their differences, and reunited as a family. Their relationship is only strengthened as a result of the major confrontation. This film shows us that family is the most important thing in the world and that despite our flaws, a family's love never fades.

2. Hello, Love, Goodbye
Hello, Love, Goodbye is a film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina that was released in 2019. Kathryn Bernardo, Alden Richards, and Maymay Entrata appear in this romantic drama. The life of an OFW in Hong Kong is depicted in this film. Joy Fabregas, played by Kathryn Bernardo, wishes to move and work in Canada to improve her and her family's lives. Her working license, however, has expired, and the authorities are on the lookout for her. There's Ethan Del Rosario, played by Alden Richards, a Filipino himself. Despite Joy's plans to relocate to Canada, Ethan is set on pursuing her. Even as their burgeoning relationship develops, they manage to keep their goals in order. Meeting each other teaches them a powerful life lesson that forever changes their lives. This shows us that just because you love someone doesn't mean they have to always be there for you. It's often necessary to set them free for them to mature and become who they are on their own.

3. Kita Kita (I See You)
Kita Kita, a 2017 Philippine romantic comedy film written and directed by Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo, stars Alessandra de Rossi (Lea) and Empoy Marquez (Tonyo). After seeing her Japanese fiancé's infidelity, Lea, a Filipino tour guide living in Japan, goes blind. After a while, Tonyo, a fellow Filipino and charmer, appears out of nowhere and befriends the visually impaired Lea in the most charming way possible. Even though she didn't want it, he cooked her Filipino meals every day. But she gradually warmed up to him and accepted his offer, as well as being his friend and enjoying his company. They finally fall for each other while they remain together. The most devastating part was when Lea regained her vision and was eager to see Tonyo, but he died before she could even see him. This movie shows us that love has no bounds. True love comes from the heart and is never judgmental. It teaches that no matter what life throws at us, we must keep going forward and use those happy memories as an encouragement to continue developing as people.

Seven Sundays is a Philippine comedy-drama film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and starring Aga Muhlach, Ronaldo Valdez, Cristine Reyes, Dingdong Dantes, and Enrique Gil, which was released in 2017. This film appeals to people of all ages because it captures the essence of family values. The film depicts the harsh reality of the prospect of losing a loved one. The father in the film was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the film and has just seven weeks to live. So his children have decided to pay him a visit for the remaining seven Sundays he has left on this world. Throughout the film, it is discovered that the father was simply misdiagnosed, resulting in a major conflict that causes the entire family to break apart. Regardless of the difficulties, they have faced, they eventually come together as a family because true love and acceptance can only come from one's family.

5. The Hows of Us
The Hows of Us is a romantic drama film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina that was released in the Philippines in 2018. George is played by Kathryn Bernardo, and Primo is played by Daniel Padilla. A couple who wants to spend the rest of their lives together is depicted in the film. Following the death of George's aunt, the pair resolved to live together, spend their lives in each other's arms, and pursue their goals as a couple. But life moves in unexpected ways. When their feelings become more intense, they have to cope with the challenges of being in a long-term relationship as well as the harsh realities of life. It turns out that they are on opposing paths, leading to the couple's breakup. When George agreed to sell the house a few years later, Primo returned home and attempted to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend. He was adamant about rekindling the flame. So, in the end, they realized that their love for each other had never faded over the years. The problem that occurred years back was just a combination of life struggles and miscommunication. They finally reconciled and embarked on a new life together. This film shows us that true love triumphs in the face of adversity. It teaches us that all can be resolved if we all listen to what our hearts are trying to tell us.

Movies 2019
List of films I watched in 2019 from best to worst.
Updated soon after I’ve seen them.
A Ghost Story [David Lowery, 2017, United States] No film has made me feel this melancholic ever. This is a film so profound, it examines existence in the simplest yet most esoteric way possible. It surely goes straight to the top of my all-time favourite list. 10/10
Portrait of a Lady on Fire [Celine Sciamma, 2019, France] a film of magnificent visuals, intoxicating sound design, and a screenplay of jawdropping surprises -- definitely on top of my 2019 movie list. 10/10
The Heiresses [Marcelo Martinessi, 2019, Paraguay] compellingly melancholic in its silence and uncertainty. It's a blossoming, a self-discovery, a thorny journey towards maturity. 10/10
Parasite [Bong Joon-ho, 2019, South Korea] You can watch it in many different ways, perspective, and angle, and everything is just as clever. 10/10
Kanarie [Christiaan Olwagen, 2018, South Africa] Has one of the most poignant and critically-observed approach to self-awareness and acceptance. 10/10
Shéhérazade [Jean-Bernard Marlin, 2018, France] a gritty narrative of an unusual young love with such depressing yet charming emotional pull. 10/10
Capernaum [Nadine Labaki, 2018, Lebanon] it’s not just about a boy in an unjust world, it is more about an implausibly unjust world where everyone is a victim and no one is an actual villain. 10/10
John Denver Trending [Arden Rod Condez, 2019, Philippines] Aside from its central theme of mental health awareness, it also has an excellent juxtaposition of the culture of bullying and cyberbullying and its correlation with how the nature of superstitions and religions shapes a country’s humanity. 10/10
The Third Wife [Ash Mayfair, 2019, Vietnam] possibly has one of the best visual stories this year with a contrast of hauntingly sensual tension and dreamlike composition, it’s strangely beautiful. 10/10
Atlantique [Mati Diop, 2019, Senegal] Such a bewitching tale of love, lost, and longing. A film told with such raw elegance, it’s enchanting. 10/10
Metamorphosis [JE Tiglao, 2019, Philippines] Not your ordinary coming-of-age movie. This one comes with such importance and inclusivity, everyone needs to see. 10/10
The Favourite [Yorgos Lanthimos, 2019, Greece, Ireland, United Kingdom, United States] a dark period comedy oddly fused with sophisticated costume and production design for a strange yet striking visual treat. 10/10
Edward [Thop Nazareno, 2019, Philippines] I am so amazed at how this film shows struggles after struggles after struggles without spoonfeeding emotions. It’s a movie so simple yet so despairing. Everything of it is in the right place, it’s sublime. 10/10
I Lost My Body [Jeremy Clapin, 2019, France] gives an absolute strange reason to cry, it's extraordinarily cathartic. 10/10
Marriage Story [Noah Baumbach, 2019, United States] My favourite performance of the year belong to these two leads whose portrayal of lovers going through divorce is rock solid heartbreaking. 10/10
Ulan [Irene Villamor, 2019, Philippines] Is a fuck you to societal norms, so profound, it is a love story that involves only one. 10/10
Avengers: Endgame [Russo brothers, 2019, United States] Raises the bar so high, is probably the most entertaining superhero movie to date. 10/10
The Wife [Bjorn Runge, 2018, Belgium] Glenn Close is mesmerizing. There is no need to say more. 10/10
Heneral Luna [Jerrold Tarog, 2015, Philippines] Jerrold Tarog is as brave as General Luna. He clearly is the Luna of film making. 9.5/10
Infinity War
Incendies [Dennis Villanueve, 2011, Canada] With such expert direction, it's elementally strong in more aspect than one. 9.5/10
Us [Jordan Peele, 2019, United States] It is as if every element in this film is smartly placed there to serve a deeper purpose, it's a movie in search of greater meaning. 9.5/10
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
BuyBust [Erik Matti, 2018, Philippines] a spectacular display of astounding filmmaking where every element is designed and choreographed fittingly well. Entertaining yet harrowing from start to finish, it’s the kind of film that stays. It gets better on second watch. 9.5/10
The White Helmets [Orlando Von Eisiedel, 2016, United Kingdom, Syria] A heartrending glimpse at the life of true heroes in violence-stricken Syria. 9/10
PK [Rajkumar Hirani, 2014, India] a courageous film that wittingly pokes fun of religious beliefs. 9/10
Mamu and a Mother Too [Rod Singh, 2018, Philippines] Why it scared me, I don’t know. It could be because it’s unpredictable, it’s non-cliche, and it’s gentle in ways you don’t expect. I love it. 9/10
Liway [Kip Oebanda, 2018, Philippines] Is at most powerful when it exposes the correlation of facts and fiction. Doesn’t hit you right away but when it does, it hits hard. It hits still. 9/10
Paris is Burning [Jennie Livingston, 1991, United States] is a little documentary that stays. 9/10
Paglisan [Carl Papa, 2018, Philippines] Heartbreaking. It is a test of sympathy. 9/10
Widows [Steve McQueen, 2018, United States] How can something so traditionally formal feel so modern at the same time? Steve McQueen knows. 9/10
Eerie [Mikhail Red, 2018, Philippines] More than its excellent scare tactics, what I love about it most is its clever storytelling and use of metaphors. 9/10
La Luciernaga (The Firefly) [Ana Maria Hermida, 2015, Colombia] is about finding love in grief, beauty in ugly. And though there are some directorial decisions I don’t necessarily agree with, the chemistry its leads bring onscreen is too tangible for me to care about its flaws. 9/10
First Reformed [Paul Schrader, 2019, United States] an astounding character study that questions the politics of religion. 9/10
Bad Bananas sa Puting Tabing
Fuccbois [Eduardo Roy Jr, 2019, Philippines] Amazing storytelling and editing of a narrative so strange yet so eclectic. 8.5/10
Margarita with a Straw [Nilesh Maniyar, Shonali Bose, India, 2016] An unusual take on sexual exploration and self discovery. It somehow lost its focus towards the end but still a delightful watch overall. 8.5/10
Berlin Calling [Hannes Stohr, 2008, Germany] a movie that lives in the present paced in such rhythmic beat, it is dazzling from start to end. 8.5/10
Kuwaresma [Erik Matti, 2019, Philippines] Is a multilayer of social commentaries which were good before they too contradict themselves. 8.5/10
Brother of the Year [Witthaya Thongyooyong, 2018, Thailand] For all its simplicity and bleak storyline, it still offers an abundance of emotion and a sense of realism. 8/10
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga [Shelly Dhar, 2019, India] Not a first in world cinema, but is still a groundbreaking moviemaking in the context of India. 8/10
If Beale Street Could Talk [Barry Jenkins, 2019, United States] The kind that even though you are hopeful, you know from the start that it's going to be tough. 8/10
Sovdargari (The Trader) [Tamta Gabrichidze, 2018, Georgia] Emotionally intense depiction of rural poverty. 7.5/10
The Two Popes [Fernando Mereilles, 2019, UK, US, Italy, Argentina] Features two outstanding performances that redeemed it from all its dragging moments. 7.5/10
Black Panther [Ryan Coogler, 2018, United States] Oozing with unusual but likable characters. 7.5/10
A Land Imagined [Chris Yeo, 2018, Singapore, France, Netherlands] An unsettling noir mystery that questions people's notion of truth.
My Days of Mercy [Tali Shalom Ezer, 2019, United States] There is a bewitching chemistry between the two leads despite the coldness of it all. 7.5/10
Contratiempo (The Invisible Guest) [Oriol Paulo, 2017, Spain] offers an outstanding and enjoyable thrilling ride. 7.5/10
Giant Little Ones [Keith Berhman, 2019, United States] An honest road to knowing your own self in the eyes of a boy transitioning to adolescence. 7.5/10
Never Not Love You [Antoinette Jadaone, 2018, Philippines] Beautifully and realistically written. It’s just really hard for me to like Reid’s character. 7.5/10
Kaptn Oskar [Tom Lass, 2013, Germany] Only basic virtue - it is a beautiful film. Not only for its comfort. But for the old poetry of dust emotions. 7.5/10
Furie [Le Van Kiet, 2019, Vietnam] With great performance and thrilling choreography, Furie is one of the best action films of 2019. 7.5/10
The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbrunch [Michael Steiner, 2019, Switzerland, Germany] A funny glimpse at a life of an Orthodox Jewish man with a chemistry that gives you a hopeful ending. 7.5/10
Gerald's Game [Mike Flanagan, 2017, United States] Meticulously-directed, it is an outstanding adaptation of Stephen King's novel. 7.5/10
UnTrue [Sigrid Andrea Bernardo, 2019, Philippines] to put it simply, UnTrue is a thrilling rollercoaster ride. 7/10
Pailalim [Daniel Palacio, 2017, Philippines]
Dear Ex [Chih-Yen Hsu, 2018, Taiwan] Features odd but genuine kind of love. It is funny, heartfelt, and charming all at the same time. 7/10
First They Killed my Father [Angelina Jolie, 2017, United States, Cambodia] sincerely and sensitively paints a portrait of a country's tragic history. 7/10
4 Latas [Gerardo Olivares, 2019, Spain] For all its nonsense, I enjoyed it. 7/10
Green Book [Peter Farrelly, 2018, United States] Flawed yet entertaining -- not sure if it's good or bad though. 6.5/10
Pihu [Kapri Vinod, 2018, India] Heartbreaking torture. Although I feel like it could have ended better. 6.5/10
Lionheart [Genevieve Nnaji, 2018, Nigeria] Although everything here felt familiar, there's charm that makes this film an enjoyable one. 6.5/10
Unbreakable
Triple Frontier [JC Chandor, 2019, United States] I have a problem with its exploitation of violence. I have a bigger problem for liking it. 6.5/10
28 Weeks Later
Iska [Theodore Boborol, 2019, Philippines] I find a lot of things problematic and some choices uncharacteristic but it is worth a watch. 7/10
Searching
Period. End of Sentence
Battle
Oversized Cops

The Bar
Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 3
Mga Mister ni Rosario [Alpha Habon, 2018, Philippines]

Aurora
Becks

Kita Kita
Directed by: Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo
Kung makikita at mapapanood mo ng maigi...
Grabe ung batuhan ng linya and everything! Tatawa ka talaga, kikiligin, at iiyakkk. Kudos to all na naghihirap para iangat ang filipino films to the next level!
Isa- isang beses kong narinig na manunuod kami ng pelikula at di na natanggal sa isip ko
Dalawa - dalawang beses nating sinubukang pumasok sa panunuoran pero dalawa ding gwardiya ang humarang sa daraanan
Tatlo- tatlong damit ang aking pinamilian para makapagpalit ng uniform at muli tayong sumubok na makapasok
Apat - apat na kanto ang layo para lang makabili tayo ng damit at makapanuod tayo ng kinahuhumalingan
Lima - labingLimang minuto bago magsimula ang palabas ng makapasok tayo, bumili ng tiket at makakain
Anim - anim na minuto ata akong dumaldal simula nagumpisa ung pelikula hahahaha
Pito - higit pitong beses ako namalo, nangurot, napakapit sa tawa, kilig at pagka lungkot
Walo - walong hanggan ang pagkain ko ng popcorn ng bigla na lang tumulo luha ko ng di ko namamalayan
Siyam - siyam na beses kong kinumbinsi ang sarili ko na hindi ako iiyak pero wala, akala ko tatawa ako buong pelikula pansiyamantala lang pala...
Sampu - mga sampung beses namin binalikbalikan lahat ng mga sinabe at mga kung anong pwedeng nangyare, dahilan kung bakit naging ganun ang storya. At siguro kahit sampung beses ko tong panuorin hindi pa din ako magsasawa..
Rating: 5.0

Tokyo International Film Festival bares diverse list of winners
#PHnews: Tokyo International Film Festival bares diverse list of winners
TOKYO – Iranian Director Reza Jamali won the Spirit of Asia Award by the Japan Foundation Asia Center for his film "Old Men Never Die" during the 32nd Tokyo International Film Festival (TIFF) Award Ceremony on November 5.
The award is bestowed on a promising director in the TIFF Asian Future section, chosen for its chances at international success beyond cultural and national borders.
"I'm happy to have received this award. I've finished shooting my second film, and to be given the wonderful opportunity to be acknowledged in this way has given me faith in my own (style) to go forward in the future," Jamali said.
Iranian Director Reza Jamali
The Best Asian Future Film Award went to "Summer Knight," directed by You Xing, the Best Screenplay Award to Shin Adachi for his film "A Beloved Wife," and the Best Artistic Contribution to Wang Rui's Chinese feature, "Chaogtu with Sarula."
Navid Mohammadzadeh from “Just 6.5” bagged the Best Actor Award while Nadia Tereszkiewicz, from "Only the Animals" took the Best Actress Award.
Saeed Roustaee won the Best Director Award for "Just 6.5," while the Special Jury Prize went to "Atlantis" and the festival's most prestigious award, the Tokyo Grand Prix, was given to Director Frelle Petersen for Danish film "Uncle."
All winners of 32nd TIFF
The Japan Foundation Asia Center and TIFF are now on their sixth year of collaboration, an endeavor that aims to deepen mutual understanding within Asia by showcasing Asian films in Japan and by bringing Asian talent to the world through TIFF.
The Japan Foundation Asia Center's CROSSCUT ASIA series showcases Asian films focused on particular countries, directors, or themes. This year's CROSSCUT ASIA showcased films featuring genre films ranging from thrillers to romantic horrors, reflecting regional characteristics such as internationally acclaimed director Lav Diaz's first-ever sci-fi thriller "The Halt."
Last October 29, taking the stage for a talk titled "The Discreet Charm of Girl's Horror Talk," three of Asia's leading female directors, Antoinette Jadaone ("Six Degrees of Separation from Lilia Cuntapay"), Mattie Do ("The Long Walk"), and Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo ("Untrue"), whose works were all screened in CROSSCUT ASIA #06, discussed the horror films of Southeast Asia.
"The genre looks male-dominated, but people making genre films help each other, come out for you, they're there for you. It looks unwelcoming, but we need the female perspective in drama and women would find it a supportive world,” Do said.
The 32nd TIFF unspooled from October 28 to November 5, 2019. (Asianet)

Magpapaka-digitally artsy nadin ako ngayon lang naman overflowing na kase ang feels gusto ko lang ilabas, hi mofos.
Lately, napanood ko tong trending local movie at nakabasa ng maraming reviews tungkol dito and na-curious ako at bakit nila minumura si Empoy. Oo ito yung movie na "Kita Kita" sa direksyon ni Sigrid Andrea P. Bernardo. Eto rin pala ang unang beses kong gagawa ng review sa isang pelikula at unang beses na makakakita kayo ng "seryosong" post sa blog ko. Whaaaaat. Hehe.
Okay! May pointers din akong ginawa para ma-rate ko tong movie na to.
1. Yeah, we all know na comedy talaga tong si Empoy (Tonyo) at kalog si Alex (Lea) pero ang galing ng chemical reaction nung dalawa hayup sa chemistry dika mahihirapan kiligin e *di ako kinilig slight lang* olol.
2. Masasabi kong predictable siya, pero mali ka ng hula sa bawat eksena kase dimo aakalaing ganon pala yung mangyayari hahaha olol oo predictable siya pero pag pinanood mo wag mo nalang isipin kung ano yung sunod na mangyayari para dika mawalan ng thrill sa katawan and ma-eenjoy mo yung movie.
3. Diko alam kung bakit nyo minumura si Empoy wala namang ginawang masama yung tao nagpakatanga lang at nabundol hahhaa waaaaaah <spoiler alert> wag nyong babasahin to kung dinyo pa napapanood hahaha diko sinasadya. Well balik tayo kay Empoy huy qaqo ka natuto ako ng mga bagong breezy moves sayo hahahaha. Putangina mo Empoy diko kinaya jogger pants mo.
4. Ang ganda ng settings shet Japan home of JAV hahaha censored lahat ng tao dun hahaha de biro lang olol ang ganda ng kuha sa mga locations para kana ding nag tour sa japun e pero putangina ko daw naungol ako parang hentai nung nasa sinehan ako sabi ng mga kasama ko eh hahaha "senpai.. ieee" olol haha.
5. Ending.. ayoko mang-spoil, sa mga dipa nakakapanood.. pero eto nalang yung ending tagos sa puso mo kung syempre hopeless romantic ka pero kung hard as the rock yang pussy mo este puso mo eh wala keri lang hahaha.
6 7 8 9 10 puta kayo Tonyo at Lea di lang kayo ang nagpigil ng ihi ako din hahhaa sumakit pantog ko kakapigil ng ihi para lang diko mamiss bawat eksena hahaha aaaand lahat ng tao sa sinehan tawa ng tawa so hindi nakakahiyang tumawa feeling ko close na kaming lahat e.
Kudos sa sumulat at nag derek sa movie na to masasabi kong nag eevolve na ang piripin cinema mga pare.
