"importante itong pelikulang 'to dahil... ito ang pwedeng magbigay ng.. totoong estado ng moviegoers ngayon"- John Lloyd Cruz
a rather eerily prophetic statement. but as events unfold, it is clear - hindi lang ang "totoong estado ng mga manonood" ang makikita sa sinapit ng "Honor Thy Father", naibubuyangyang din nito ngayon ang marumi at corrupt na bahagi ng sistema ng isang multi-bilyong pisong industriya, isang maliit ngunit napakapopular at napakamaimpluwensyang sektor sa ating lipunan na kung maisaaayos lamang ay walang kwestiyon na maipagmamalaki ng lahat ng mga pilipino sa buong mundo dahil sa taas ng antas ng husay, talino at kalidad ng mga artists na bumubuo nito.
- something more sinister. something more sad. something more urgent. yet it is also something most of us can participate in and change for better -

1st "Official Scandal" of #MMFF2015?

MMFF 2015 Official Denial of Malicious "Ticket-Swapping" Claim
Twelve (12) months later, local stakeholders are hailing Quantum Films as the newest box-office-maker in the mainstream film industry and Jennylyn the newest darling of romantic comedies. More distinctly, she is probably the only one who is not an ABS-CBN star. Derek too didn't do badly after EOP, as he has since been "welcomed back" to the ABS-CBN/Star Cinema. Yet the stakeholder whose star value gained the most (arguably) from EOP is screenwriter/director Antonette Jadaone. Without belaboring the obvious, we'll just say that Ms Jadaone's works and influence now are the strongest elements in this year's edition of the Metro Manila Film Festival, perhaps challenged only by the presence of the tv hit accidental tandem of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, more popularly known as "Aldub."
This year, this blog is adopting and extending the same kind of support for yet another independent festival entry.
Critical Acclaim for "Honor Thy Father" "Honor Thy Father is many things: a suspenseful story of betrayal and retribution, a drama about familial reconciliation, and a commentary on the tenuous nature of newfound wealth. Holding everything together are Matti's fluid, skilled direction and the tightly wound performance by Cruz, whose Edgar — disgusted by the greed and hypocrisy he encounters — seems always on the verge of exploding." - Toronto International Film Festival Analyst's Favorites
