The Scene Around: The Rest is Noise Yearend

12/20/2015 4:26:48 AM

Well, after hitting the EP launch of Mind Money Circuit, yours truly hit up Route 196 (well, for the second time, actually) that evening for another heavyweight night from Vandals on the Wall.

The Scene Around: Oh, Flamingo! EP Launch

1/10/2016 3:08:31 PM

Perhaps one of the bands who emerged the most this 2015, Oh Flamingo arrived in the nick of time to release their EP last 14 November 2015 at the full-house Route 196 in Quezon City. Yes, just days after they released their new single Two Feet on Jam 88.3 and two weeks before winning the Wanderband contest; thus, being the top Philipine band to perform at the Wanderland festival this coming year!

Regal Entertainment has been known for producing several memorable drama and horror films in the Metro Manila Film Festival. In fact, their Shake, Rattle and Roll was so notable it had like 15 editions.

But the 41st MMFF saw two horror movies (or even three, if you count Nilalang) in Buy Now, Die Later and Haunted Mansion, with the latter doing more serious than the former.

Isang open letter sa isang batikang direktor ang naging viral nitong mga nagdaang araw. At ano ang dahilan? Pagmamaltrato sa “ekstra.” Sa isang liham na kumalaht sa Facbeook, sinabi na siya at ang kanyang boyfriend -- na wala namang backgrounds sa acting -- ay paulit-ulit diumanong nababastos at pinapahiya ng direktor na si Cathy Garcia-Molina. Oo, siya nga na naging direktor ng ilang mga pelikula na pinapanood mo sa kasalukuyan.

Long night ahead. After crossing cities like a coast-to-coast play on basketball, I finally arrived down south. 

Playback: CHEATS (ALBUM)

Long before I get acquainted into their music. All I then-knew was CHEATS was one of the reasons why the Philippine music here in the country was very much alive. And I’m not talking about how wild their usual sets are. Also, forget the stereotyping of mainstream and underground thingamajigs.

Last July, they formally launched their self-titled album at SaGuijo. And fair enough, nearly half of their released singles became part of the record. 

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: 2015 MMFF Edition (Part 2)

12/28/2015 2:46:44 AM

Disqualified ang Honor Thy Father mula sa Best Picture award sa ika-41 na Metro Manila Film Festival.

Alam ko, nabanggit ko na ito sa previous na Tirada Ni SlickMaster ukol sa 2015 MMFF. Pero mukhang naging masalimuot ang proseso ng pagkakadiskwalipika nito.

Okay, another Vice Ganda movie. Obviously, another sure-fire hit in the box office; but moreover, another garbage in the eyes of movie geeks and critics.

Tirada Ni SlickMaster: Drive Pa More!

1/10/2016 2:22:16 PM

Isang siklista ang namatay matapos gulungan ng isang trak sa Marikina city. Yan ang isa sa mga balitang gumulantang sa lipunan sa simula ng bagong taon, maliban sa mga isyu ng naputukan at nalalapit na eleksyon.

Hindi nga lang yan isang trak e. Isang trak na pagmamay-ari ng gobyerno. Aray ko po. Mantakin mo ang mga mas dapat na nangunguna sa pagsunod sa batas gaya ng mga sasasakyang pang-gobyerno ay ang siya pang pasaway?

Ayan. Deads tuloy si ate na naghatid lamang ng kanyang bunsong anak sa pinapasukan nitong paaralan.

Horror and comedy converged once again as the same prods who brought you Walang Forever came up with their second entry at the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival titled Buy Now, Die Later.

Sumakabilang buhay si German Moreno noong nakaraang araw ng Biyernes, alas-3:20 ng madaling araw. Ayon ito sa kanyang pamangkin na si John Nite.

Good Fight, Ugly Decision-Making?!

I saw the main event of UFC 195 last week. It’s been a very long while since the last time I have seen a very good fight at the MMA world.

Perhaps, a good fight; but with a ‘disgusting’ result. A split decision was awarded to Robbie Lawler; thus making his title defense successful once again despite his opponent Carlos Condit (the fourth contender for their division) dominating on majority of the fight.

Seems the Star Cinema-Antonette Jadaone experiment turned out so well for the romcom scene, eh? Perhaps, it was since her project with then-Cinema One Original That Thing Called Tadhana days.

One vs. All

As far as the live tweets of WWE Monday Night RAW is concerned, Roman Reigns faced Sheamus with Mr. Vince McMahon as the match referee. Obviously this created buzzing stirs among wrestling fans, even if we all know it’s scripted as fuck.
