KUBRADOR

finally, after weeks of waiting. i got to see it today! after all the news, the articles, the promotional advertisement (with ABS-CBN) finally, i saw KUBRADOR. even if i did read a lot about the movie, i did not think it was overrated... at all, i dont know, watching the movie was... the best term to describe it would be enlightening... i grew up with my aunt and lola placing bets in jueteng, so it was not new to me, i was familiar with a few jueteng terms. what was really fun was how she (amy-bet collector) gave names to numbers such as 24-dalaga, 13-malas, 5-bata, 18-bayag. (hehe)

but my God, did that movie hit the spot or what...

i did get a little disappointed, though, not with the movie but the turn out, after all the hype and praises, less than 20 people showed up in Gateway earlier. How can we expect the industry to produce well made movie if we cant support those that re really good... so to really help this "malnourished" film industry, we have to support such films like this. Great story, fantastic acting, no wonder it won a lot of awards abroad, and it was all well-deserved.

If you have the chance, go out and see it. only a few theaters in the metro are showing it, but make an effort, this is a good movie worth all your energy and... money.

seeing johnny manahan was really fun, also a neil ryan sese and soliman cruz cameo, and the silent jokes: ERAP's tomb, FPJ shirt, JV envelopes. (hehe)

Stop using the computer immediately, watch KUBRADOR already...
