You just need to keep an eye out on schedules of film festivals, screenings, etc. Clickthecity is very helpful in showing which non-mainstream film is showing in commercial cinemas (I believe Bakal Boys is being shown in SM cinemas this week, so don't miss that). <br /><br />I'd like to invite you to Fully Booked Serendra every third Sunday of the month for the Tioseco-Bohinc Film Series. Next Sunday, we're screening Anacbanua. I hope to see you there.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-22999890890410854522010-03-13T23:48:55.623+08:002010-03-13T23:48:55.623+08:00hello good afternnoon, first time ko makahanap ng ...hello good afternnoon, first time ko makahanap ng blog na nagbibigay ng detailed at magandang review about filipino films. thanks din sa mga list mo. i have a question though, where do you watch those filipino films,.i guess i only know those that are shown in SM therefore commercial movies. but where do you watch these pinoy films that you recommend. want to watch them too :)kcatwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12546676135935094106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-11483281926201627152010-02-26T15:43:43.419+08:002010-02-26T15:43:43.419+08:00Congratulations with Encantos, Anon.

I just found this weblog when I was looking for a review on Death in the Land Of Encantos, a monster that I just finished slaying (actually vice versa). I should say you have a fantastic blog here and your write up on Death was very insightful. By the way, how can I access to your lists for previous years.

I'm particularly floored with what he delivered at the SAG. Anyway, I was searching for your 2008 list, but can't seem to find it though. Great list Oggs.

I used to be active reviewing films a few years ago and am now trying to get back into the thick of things. Just want you to know that I am greatly impressed by your work. Hopefully I can ask for your advice as to what Filipino films are worth seeing (if I can grab a hold of them, since I'm based abroad). Keep fighting the good fight!<br /><br />Do you have a twitter account? If not, you should have one up so you can spread the word. Looking forward to more of your musings.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Michael Mirasol<br />http://www.michaelmirasol.com/flipcritic<br />http://www.twitter.com/flipcriticflipcritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034599437574287958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-18982245311491504502010-01-07T07:57:14.216+08:002010-01-07T07:57:14.216+08:00...Mangatyanan is undoubtedly masterfully made, bu......Mangatyanan is undoubtedly masterfully made, but a masterfully well made wouldn't necessarily be in my top choices for the year.
