About Me
From my introduction to Critic After Dark: A Review of Philippine Cinema ------------------------------------ Philippine cinema has its share of gold and manure, artists and poseurs; because the average Filipino film costs a little over US$250,000 (in 2004 currency) and is usually shot on a stretch of about twenty shooting days (or less), the manure is often more odious than what passes for commercial filmmaking in Hollywood nowadays; on the other hand, because budget and schedule are often so small and tight, the rare gold nugget found seems all the more impressive, bordering perhaps on the miraculous. Thanks to those nuggets, I still believe in miracles. --------------------------------------- Blog pic: Dennis Roldan and Nora Aunor in Mario O'Hara's Bakit Bughaw ang Langit?
