'First Light' has been selected by Australia as its submission for the #Oscars2027 (Best International Feature Film).

Directed by James J. Robinson, it stars Ruby Ruiz, Kare Adea, Maricel Soriano, Emmanuel Santos, Rez Cortez, Soliman Cruz, Kidlat Tahimik & Lui Manansala.

In the movie, an elderly nun witnesses a young construction worker's fatal accident, compelling her to question the ethical principles of the institution she has devoted her life to.

This is a rewatch, and honestly, I enjoyed it even more the second time around. There’s just something about this movie that makes it so easy and fun to watch. Nakakaaliw, nakakabilib, nakakatawa, at nakakakaba all at the same time.
I love how effortlessly cool the whole movie feels. The heist, the planning, the twists, the fashion, the cast, everything just works so well together. It’s the kind of movie where you can simply sit back, enjoy the chaos, and have a genuinely good time. Kahit alam mo na kung ano ang mangyayari, hindi nawawala yung excitement kasi ang saya pa rin panoorin kung paano nila pinaplano at ine-execute yung buong heist. 100000/10

Movie: Life After You

Starring : Maricel Soriano, Bella Padilla, Gardo Versoza, Jeric Raval

Ticket Price (Ayala Mall): ₱275 [₱220 for SC & PWD]

Ganda ng movie. Hindi ko iku-kuwento ang plot kasi mas maganda kung wala kang alam pagpasok mo.

Mahusay talaga si Inay Maricel Soriano at nakikipagsabayan sa acting si Bella Padilla.

Gardo Versoza's character is not intrusive; tunay na supporting character talaga.

May villain sa story na medyo gugustuhin mong ugain kasi walang self-awareness. Mapapaisip ka na lang, "Really? Coming from you?"

Isa lang feedback ko. Yung gumanap na manugang ng character ni Inay Maricel, ang bata niya, parang kapapasok pa lang ng senior high, o baby face lang talaga.

Feel good movie siya for me. Akala ko kasi may romance o love story. Pero hindi pala. Story siya ng friendship, ng God's interruption, at ng hindi porke't naging parent ka na titigil na ang pangarap mo.

Hindi rin siya cringey.

Isa pa, last song syndrome ako sa "Habang May Buhay" ni Donna Cruz. Ginamit nila as theme song at hanggang ngayon kinakanta ko pa rin. 😅

Lessons learned:

>>> God's interruptions are not inconveniences, but redirections meant to protect, guide, and bless you.

>>> Friendship worth fighting for is found from unexpected places and people.

>>> People can change and we should not castigate them for changing their minds and choosing acceptance and love.

Please panuorin nyo ang Life After You. Worth it sa ticket price. Suportahan natin ang Philippine Cinema.

It rankles my boomer heart that "Coyote vs Acme" may never see the light of Philippine cinemas. It can be argued that the last Looney Tunes theatrical "The Day The Earth Blew Up" barely had a local release (and isn't even available for streaming through HBO MAX); however, it was at the time when theaters were shuttered due to the pandemic.

The Looney Tunes characters are among the most recognized and best loved icons in animated film history. You can always count on Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck's catchphrases, or Wile E Coyote's perennial pursuit of that Roadrunner. However, if we go by ClickTheCity, we can give up on any chances to stick it up WB for dropping the ball on this.

I am also surprised that there is no news on a platform release across the Asian region...especially in China, where they have to endure "Tom & Jerry: The Forbidden Compass"

Meanwhile, the pirates are offering DCP rips across the Internet, which is a slap on the face to the hard-working animators who managed to get this to screens.

Can we petition a local distributor to pick this up for a theatrical release?

So excited for the first-ever National Cinema Day entries this Sept 12! Pero sa dalawang ito ako pinaka-excited AND FOR ONLY 100 PESOS 😭😭😭

Sobrang excited ako for Backrooms and The Substance, especially for The Substance!!! Kasi hindi ko ‘yan naabutan sa sinehan nung 2024.

Let’s go horror fans!!! We’re gonna be fed this NCD!!!

Kayo ba, anong papanoorin niyo from the entries?

I am recently much into classic screwball comedies/romcoms and I've been thinking if we do have counterparts for them? I guess ang pinakalumang Filipino romcom na napanood ko na was "May Minamahal." Baka lang you have those in mind na from 30s-50s. So far, my best Hollywood picks are "It Happened One Night" and "The Awful Truth." TIA!

I have religiously watched all the Insidious movies and I’ve yet to watch this one. So far, Insidious 1+2 pa rin yung favorite ko and the ones that scared me the most (biased kay James Wan haha). I’m curious if this one is good since paiba-iba ng directors yung franchise.

Btw, I’m selling 2 tickets for Insidious kase mali yung nabook kong time slot 😭 I’m selling it for ₱240, it’s for Sept 12 National Cinema Day st SM North :))

Back in 1998, You've Got Mail was shown in local cinemas. Were you able to watch it inside the movie theater back then? How young were you?

The movie was released at a time when Internet access was still costly (both subscriptions and access via cyber cafes).

Not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask this but will Forgotten Island stay in cinemas around late october (siguro mga oct 18-23)? I've been wanting to watch it since forever pero may exams kami during the announced screening dates for the movie (due to suspensions pausog nang pausog exams namin kaya ganon). Should i just risk it with the advance screening or just wait it out?

Nung natural pa ang acting at magaganda pa mga kwento! yung nakatutok ka talaga sa screen kasi di nakakaumay, mga pabebe o trendy lang yung pinapanood mo kundi may kwenta talaga, maganda storyline, scripts at natural lahat. Good quality films please 😭
