Wazzup Pilipinas!
There is a growing disappointment of Pinoy movies. Until today, we have not even reached a point that is even close to a good story-telling. You want to know why? It's all about having good-looking stars who couldn't even act appropriately. Puro porma at pa-cute lang pero walang talent. Ang problema kasi ay yung may mga totoong talent ay nakaka-ta-kyut.
The best example is the latest movie entitled This Time featuring the JaDine love team, James Reid and Nadine Lustre, in lead roles.
"On the first few scenes of THIS TIME, in the utmost attempt to be funny, its characters poke fun at the corpse of the dead and at the sanctity of praying. It then becomes a running joke that borders offense." says a movie critic.
The movie critic continues to praise only the supporting actors in their effort to be funny, but still implying the fact that their presence were only significant because of their iconic image from yesteryears when they were still popular.
He goes on to say "As for James Reid and Nadine Lustre, it's so hard to understand where those feelings are coming from. While the kilig factor might always be there for the sake of its growing fandom, and so it can take a good stand on its genre, way past the smiles and giggles is a blurred image, a muddled reflection that defeats the beauty of good storytelling. At the end of it all, you get nothing."

Kaya nagsawa na akong manood ng Tagalog movies. Mas magaling pa yung nasa commercials na lang at least ay sandali lang.. Di natin kaya ng mahabang pelikula dahil we lose the interest with the stars and the story after just a few minutes.
Yung mga pinapalabas sa TV na mga nagkakagulo na mga fans daw during opening day? Most are scripted dahil hakot from a fans club lang sila. There is a requirement to shriek louder if you want to remain part of the fans club payroll. Yung iba ay mga binigyan ng libreng movie passes only to be frustrated after coming out of the movie houses.
The others were there out of curiosity. Just like I was every other month or so. I still am hoping the quality of our movies will change. But the only good movies I ever saw were created by Independent movie makers, and sadly none from the mainstream producers ever came up with a quality movie.
Hanggat hindi nagbabago ang pananaw ng karamihan sa ordinaryong mamamayan natin kung ano ang magandang movie ay hindi mag-pro-produce ng quality movies ang mainstream producers. Parati na lang rushed at nakakabobo.
Pampasaya daw kung mababaw ang kaligayan mo.
Pero ang ordinaryong tao, kapag nakapanood na ng tunay na magagandang pelikula ay aayos din ang pagpili kung ano ang papanoorin.
At higit sa lahat, dapat tandaan ng mga producers na kung talagang may concern sila sa ating kapwa, bigyan sila ng magandang pelikula at hindi ng basura na patuloy na magbabagsak sa atin na isang bansa na walang katuturan ang mga pelikula.
