The first one feels complete by itself, and it wouldn't hurt me if Diaz didn't make a sequel, but of course if he does, I'll be rushing to the theater (or whatever venue) to see it.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to read your piece on this. You're the master of succinct criticism, hehe.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-2439400953794517482008-01-07T10:43:00.000+08:002008-01-07T10:43:00.000+08:00Agree, oggs.

I remember sitting through HEREMIAS without fidgeting at all but I suppose that's mostly the difference between watching in a theater and watching almost lying down on a soft, comfortable throw pillow - - -and bladder issues. I'll save my preference until I've seen the second book of HEREMIAS but I have to say that there were a lot of things in ENKANTO that resonated with me.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the piece, BTW, oggs. Good work. And that was fast. I'm still writing down notes for mine.

Heremias had a comfortable pattern and a straightforward narrative. This on the other hand, is much more nebulous and requires unhindered attention from its viewers. Of course, ease in viewing is hardly a barometer for quality and I agree, I like Kagadanan better than both Heremias or Ebolusyon. I still have to see Batang West Side though.Oggs Cruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03041599863258946384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31058461.post-630886765151632552008-01-06T20:00:00.000+08:002008-01-06T20:00:00.000+08:00Lav's best work since EBOLUSYON NG ISANG PAMILYANG...Lav's best work since EBOLUSYON NG ISANG PAMILYANG PILIPINO & BATANG WEST SIDE.
