It’s December again and the Metro Manila Film Festival is once more upon us. But what should we expect from the 37th MMFF? For that, dear readers, we here at Copy Paste spent every last drop of our sweat during these past days to get any scrap of data at all and try to analyze them into useful information so that you’ll know (or at least have an inkling of) what to know.
Without further ado, here are the entries in the much-awaited and much-lauded Metro Manila Film Festival:
· Enteng ng Ina Mo
· My Househusband
· Panday 2
· Segunda Mano
· Shake, Rattle & Roll 13
· Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
· Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
Enteng ng Ina Mo
A comedy hit for the family, Vic Sotto of Enteng Kabisote and Aiai de las Alas of Tanging Ina Nyo joined forces to deliver a movie sure to hit hard on the Filipinos’ funny bone.
My Househusband
Reminiscent of the good ol’ days, the love team of Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo is back once again in the silver screen not as a cute teenage couple but as husband and wife. The story revolves around Ryan’s resigning from work, his turning into a housewife counterpart, Juday’s taking charge of the family, and ultimately, the alleged affair of Ryan with Ms. Eugene Domingo.
Panday 2
Taking off from the previous blockbuster hit that was Panday, Clavio is back in Panday 2 boasting more epic powers, powerhouse cast, and a myriad of sinister characters backed by eye-popping Hollywood-grade special effects. It may be safe to say that this film shall be a wonderful experience for the children and those children at heart alike.
Segunda Mano
The reason why this type of horror movie is shown during Christmas and not Halloween is way beyond me but there you go. Kris Aquino, together with leading man Dingdong Dantes shall be paired together in this screaming wonder in the big screen. What awaits for moviegoers shall be a complete mystery and suspense. Highly recommended for those who would like to experience a terrifying Christmas.
Shake, Rattle & Roll 13
Another horror movie (and sometimes with comedic takes) that has turned into an MMFF classic, Shake, Rattle & Roll is a series of three stories put together in one movie that is guaranteed to shake the very core of moviegoers. Another movie highly recommended for those who want a dose of Halloween in the midst of December.
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
For those with more melodramatic taste or those who just want to experience the pangs of genuine drama, this movie is a total must-see. Maricel Soriano, together with a powerhouse cast and a riveting storyline, this movie shall be a tear-jerker that is guaranteed to move even the stoniest of hearts.
Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
Another one reminiscent of the good ol’ days, the bad boy gang leader of Tondo is back but to the beginning as this is the prequel to Former President Estrada’s notorious Asiong Salonga.
There you go people. See you in the theaters, have fun and most of all, a Merry Christmas to us all!
