Sa larangang ng visual effects at CGIs, napakalaki ng ikinahusay ng pelikulang ito at talaga namang maipagmamalaki na ang kanilang pagsusumikap na pagandahin ang aspetong teknikal upang makipagsabayan sa mga gawang Hollywood. Buong buo ang konsepto ng mga disenyo ng kasuotan, ng make-up at ng set at props ng Ang Panday. Para kang dinala sa ibang dimension kung saan ang mga tao ay nasa gitna ng makaluma at mahikal na panahon at hindi mukhang palabas sa entablado o pipitsugin palabas sa telebisyon. Nadala ni Revilla ang katauhan ng isang maginoo, mabuti at matapang na mandirigmang mortal at nakakasulasok ang kasamaan ni Lizardo sa pagganap ni Salvador. Nagawa ni Calzado na paghaluin ang misteryo at bighani sa katauhan ni Maria at nakakahawa ang kulit ni Bugoy at ng nagdadalagang si Estelita. Maaliwalas at nakakaigaya ang mga panoramic at panning shots na nagpakita ng ganda ng mga tanawin. Dahil sa mga dahilang ito, tama nga na mabigyang gantimpala ang pelikula. Kaya nga lamang, may tatlong kakulangan ang produksyon. Unang-una na ang higpit ng pagsasalaysay ng kwento. Maraming eksena at tauhan ang tila ba isiningit lamang at hindi naipaliwanag mabuti. Dagdag pa ang editing na parang nagtagpi-tagpi lamang ng mga di magkakaugnay na eksena. Ikalawa ang kakatwang pagganap ni Salvador bilang Lizardo na magkahalong Joker ng The Dark Knight at Uncle Fester ng Addams Family. Sana ay gumawa na lamang siya ng sarili niyang tauhan sa halip na manggaya ng iba. Nakakatawa rin na pagkatapos ng bawat laban ay gagawin na ni Revilla ang “panday pose” ng ilang segundo. At ikatlo, sapagkat pinagbuhusan ng panahon at ginastusan ng malaki ang mga special effects, tiniyak ng direktor na makikitang mabuti ang mga ito. Ang resulta, mabagal na aksyon, nakasasawang eksena at mga indulgent special effects.

Book of Eli
Technical Assessment: 3.5
Moral Assessment: 2.5
CINEMA Rating: For viewers 14 and above
The movie takes place in a world of chaos and mayhem 30 years after the apocalypse. Eli (Denzel Washington) has been travelling on foot in search for water source. He is generally peaceful and quiet but has superb combat skills he will not hesitate to use if provoked. He enters a dilapidated town built and run by Carnegie (Gary Oldman), an ambitious gang leader who desires to build more towns if only he can find the only remaining copy of the Bible. Impressed by Eli’s skills, Carnegie decides to have him seduced by his blind concubine’s daughter, only to find out later that he carries the very book he has been searching for. Carnegie then plots to kill Eli and take possession of the only copy of the King James Bible, while Eli, believing that God is on his side, uses all his skills to protect his precious cargo until he is able to properly turn it over.
The movie offers a fresh breath of treatment for an old plot - a peaceful man with a mission who is capable of killing his enemies single handedly if provoked. The production is decent and engaging with an authentic interpretation of a world that survived the worst. One can see semblances of old Western movies and modern action flicks with its staging and cinematography. The script is intriguing but there are several loopholes in the storyline’s logic and Eli’s character. Fortunately, the visual play each scene provides balances its shortcomings. Washington and Oldman play their respective roles convincingly.
The Book of Eli presents a bit of a predicament. On the one hand, it might be possible to excuse the brutality of the film and take this in the context of a chaotic world after the war. On the other hand, one might wish to just look at all the objectionable violence and dismiss the movie's values altogether. The movie may appear to be merely a violent film but if you will take a closer look the movie is interspersed with several religious ideologies. First, there is Eli’s journey to faithfully carry out and complete the mission entrusted to him. Second, amidst a world consumed by chaos and violence, the Word of God seems to be a beacon of hope and change. Third, Eli’s spirituality is almost authentic as he not only carries and protects the Bible but also reads passages daily and has even memorized the entire book. He also prays a lot, frequently quotes and shares passages from the Bible and emphasizes the need to look at the spirit not just the words of the passages. He reveals that he walks by faith and not by sight. However, several scenes have intermittent strong language, violence and sexual innuendos, although not endorsed as a way of life, they will still disturb the sensibilities of most people.
Film might not be appropriate for children younger than 14 and parents are cautioned to guide their teenagers when watching the movie.

The Red Shoes
Technical Assessment: 3
Moral Assessment: 2.5
Rating: For viewers 14 and above
Nang mapatalsik sa puwesto ang mga Marcos noong 1986, pinasok ng mga taong-bayan ang Malacanang. Kabilang dito ang batang si Lucas (Marvin Agustin) na nagnakaw ng isang pares ng sapatos na pula ni Imelda Marcos. Ibinigay niya ang kanang pares sa kanyang ina (Lisa Lorena) na nagluluksa sa pagkamatay ng kanilang padre de pamilya (Tirso Crus III) at ang kaliwang kapares naman ay ibinigay niya sa kanyang unang babaeng minahal na si Betina (Nikki Gil). Sa kanilang paglaki ay magiging magkasintahan sina Lucas at Betina ngunit sila’y magkakahiwalay bunga ng matinding di-pagkakaunawaan na mag-uugat sa pagtataksil ni Lucas. Samantalang ang ina naman ni Lucas ay panay ang pagkonsulta sa mga ispiritista upang makausap ang kaluluwa ng kanyang amang natabunan sa ginagawang Film Center ni Imelda.
Kakaiba ang kuwentong nais ihatid ng The Red Shoes. Nagawa nitong kilitiin ang imahinasyon ng manonood sa pagkokonekta nito sa mga tunay na pangyayari sa ating kasaysayan. Maayos naman ang pagkakalahad ng kuwento bagama’t magulo sa kabuuan ang mensahe nito. Maganda ang mga kuha ng kamera at ang mga lokasyong ginamit. Kitang-kita na nag-uumapaw sa talinong artistiko ang mga nasa likod ng pelikula. Maganda rin ang intensiyon nilang magbigay ng panibagong putahe sa mga manonood ng pelikulang Pilipino. Mahuhusay naman ang mga nagsiganap, yun nga lang, bihira silang maramdaman bilang mga tunay na tao--dala ng masyadong pag-ayos sa istruktura ng pelikula, lumabas na pawang artipisyal at mukhang mga karikatura ang kanilang mga karakter. Sayang, sapagkat kita naman ang sinseridad ng lahat sa maayos na pagganap.
Sa simula pa lang ay problemado na ang pelikula sa maraming usaping moral. Nariyan agad ang "romanticizing" sa pagnanakaw ng isang bata. Bagama’t walang malisya sa parte ng bata ang pagnanakaw, hindi nililinaw ng pelikula kung ang pagnanakaw ay tama o mali. Maaari ding sinasabi ng pelikula na hindi ito mabuti sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakitang hindi naging maayos ang buhay ng pangunahing tauhan sa kabuuan, subalit ang ganoong mga mensahe ay dapat na dumating ng lubos na malinaw upang hindi nakakalabo sa isipan ng nanonood. Umikot ang kuwento sa iba’t-ibang uri ng pagnanakaw: pang-aagaw ng asawa, pagnanakaw ng sandali ng pagtataksil. Nariyan din ang paniniwala ng ina ni Lucas sa mga ispiritista at ilang mga pamahiin. Ipinakita namang ang gawaing pagtawag ng kaluluwa at paniniwala sa ispirtista ay hindi tama at madalas, ang mga ito’y pawang mga huwad. Hindi rin mabuti na ipinipresenta ng pelikula na katanggap-tanggap ang pagtatalik ng dalawang taong hindi naman kasal. Mabuti na nga lang at wala namang hubaran at malabis na halikan na ipinakita. Nakakabahala nga lang na baka isipin ng mga batang manonood na sapat na dahilan ang pagmamahal upang humantong sa pagtatalik ang relasyon. Sa kabuuan naman ng pelikula ay malinaw ang pinaka-mensahe nito ukol sa pagmamahal, pagpapatawad at pagpaparaya.

Watch Harapan: The ABS-CBN Vice Presidential Debate
Senator Manuel “Mar” Roxas II of the Liberal Party faced tough grilling from his closest rival in the vice presidential race during a television debate late Sunday evening but earned the highest “believability” rating among randomly-selected audience from Metro Manila, Naga, Cebu, and Davao who participated in the forum.
During the ABS-CBN’s Harapan: The Vice Presidential Debate held at the La Consolacion College in Manila, Roxas faced sarcastic questions from Senator Loren Legarda of the Nacionalista Party, who, on the other hand, did poorly based on feedback from some 180 citizen-participants monitored using the technology of wireless audience response system.
All throughout the forum, at least 80 to 90 percent of the participants believed Roxas as he answered Legarda’s questions on taxation, agrarian reform and the Cheaper Medicines Law, of which he is the primary author of the Senate version of the bill, and other questions in the debate’s four parts.
Just like in previous pre-election survey, Roxas also led by a wide margin over other vice presidential aspirants during the debate through informal online and text polls conducted among more than 2,900 users that tuned in to the forum.
Based on the online poll, 55 percent of online users chose Roxas as the most believable candidate among those who joined the debate. Makati Mayor Jejomar “Jojo” Binay and former Marikina Mayor Bayani “BF” Fernando were tied at second place with 14 percent each, followed by former Securities and Exchange Commissioner Perfecto “Jun” Yasay with nine percent, and tailed by Legarda and former broadcaster Jay Sonza with five percent each.
As for the text poll, Roxas landed first again with 57 percent of text voters while Binay placed second with 15 percent, closely followed by Fernando with 13 percent and Yasay with eight percent. Only actor Edu Manzano of the Lakas-Kampi CMD turned down the invitation to attend the debate.
During the first two parts of the debate, Roxas and Legarda faced each other as if in a faceoff. In the first round, Legarda asked why Roxas was among those who pushed for the enactment of the Valued Added Tax (VAT) Law if he is true to his pro-poor claim.
“There is nothing wrong with raising taxes especially since VAT will fund all the services that government should be giving. What is wrong is if these taxes are not used as intended—to benefit the people,” Roxas said, eliciting loud cheers from his supporters clad in yellow and blue shirts.

Watch Videos About Gilbert Teodoro.
Its time to know more about the presidentiables. Today we present Gilberto Teodoro Jr.
More About Gibo:
Teodoro is the only child of former Social Security System administrator Gilberto Teodoro, Sr. and former Batasang Pambansa member Mercedes Cojuangco-Teodoro. He is also the nephew of Eduardo Cojuangco, Jr., chairman of San Miguel Corporation. [6]
Teodoro is the second cousin of another Presidential candidate, Noynoy Aquino, son of former President Corazon Aquino and former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr. While Teodoro's mother, Mercedes Cojuangco, is the first cousin of Aquino's mother, former President Corazon Aquino, both families have always been on different sides of the political fence since 1960s. During the administration of former President Ferdinand Marcos, Teodoro's father served as Social Security System administrator while Noynoy Aquino’s father, former senator Benigno Aquino Jr., was a leading opposition leader. [7]
[edit] Memberships
Teodoro, who holds distinct memberships in the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, UP Alumni Association, UP Law Alumni Association, Harvard Alumni Association and the Harvard Law Alumni Association, is also a licensed commercial pilot with a Learjet 31 rating and a Colonel in the Philippine Air Force Reserve.
Teodoro was appointed Secretary of the Department of National Defense in August 2007 at the age of 43, the youngest person to ever hold the position.
In March 2009 he announced his intention to run for President of the Philippines in the May 2010 election.[3] Months earlier, he quit his old party Nationalist People's Coalition to join the merged administration party Lakas-Kampi-CMD and cast his name in the ruling party's contenders for the 2010 elections.
On September 16, 2009, voting 42-5 through secret balloting, the executive committee of Lakas-Kampi officially selected Teodoro as their party's presidential standard bearer for the May 2010 elections, edging out the other nominee, MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando. The announcement was made by Lakas-Kampi Secretary General Gabriel Claudio after a deliberation that lasted for approximately an hour.[4]
On November 20, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo resigned her post as president of the Lakas-Kampi-CMD and handed over the presidency to Teodoro.[5]
From 1998 to 2007 he was a House Representative for the First District of Tarlac province. He assumed the position of Assistant Majority Leader in the 11th Congress and head of the Nationalist People's Coalition House members. He was also a member of the House contingent to the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council.
Following his three terms in office—the maximum number allowed by the constitution—he was succeeded by his wife, Monica Prieto-Teodoro.
While being a member of Congress, he was part of the "Bright Boys" political clique, labeled by then president Joseph Estrada, as he thought they had a bright future in congress.[2]
Teodoro completed his grade school and high school education at Xavier School, an all-boys school run by the Society of Jesus, which is considered to be one of the most elite and selective private schools in the Philippines.
Teodoro attained a Bachelor's Degree in Commerce from De La Salle University in 1984. In 1989, he completed his law studies at the University of the Philippines, where he was awarded the Dean's Medal for Academic Excellence. In the same year, he topped the Philippine Bar exams.
For seven years, he honed his skills as a lawyer in the EP Mendoza Law firm. He went to the Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts for his Master of Laws and completed it in 1997. He was also admitted to the State Bar of New York during the same year.
While practically all congressmen had a long list of committee memberships, and were jockeying for committee chairmanship, Teodoro was listed in only one, the committee on dangerous drugs. And this was because the committee chair, Ilocos Norte Rep. Roque Ablan, insisted that he included in his committee.
Instead of getting committee positions, Diaz said Teodoro gave way to his partymates in the NPC.
As NPC secretary general Michael John “Jack” Duavit said, Teodoro “never needed a position or title.”
“As long as it’s Gibo (how Teodoro is referred to), he’s the boss. When he speaks, that’s it. He doesn’t need any formal position, he just shows himself, that’s okay,” Duavit said of Teodoro’s position in the NPC, a party his uncle, Danding Cojuangco formed when he ran for president in 1992.
Cojuangco has left the NPC under his favorite nephew’s care, although his two sons, Mark and Charlie, are also congressmen representing Pangasinan and Negros Occidental, respectively, under the same party. Teodoro has often been referred to as Danding’s fair haired boy, his “political son.”
“He has been in favor of amending the Constitution from Day One of his first term as congressman,” Diaz said. And, he added, this has been clearly included in the legislative agenda of NPC

I Miss You Like Crazy Movie Review
no video available this post is about the plot only. full movie is on the other post.
Si Allan (John Lloyd Cruz) ay nagta-trabaho bilang account executive sa isang bangko na pag-aari ng mga magulang ng kasintahan niyang si Daphne (Maricar Reyes). Sa kabila ng pagkakaroon ng halos lahat ng bagay sa buhay, tila may hinahanap-hanap pa rin siya. Magbabago ang lahat nang makilala niya si Mia (Bea Alonzo) sa isang kakatwang eksena sa Pasig Ferry. Sapagkat simple at masayahin si Mia, pawang may kakaiba agad na mararamdaman si Allan dito. Isang araw ay muling magku-krus ang kanilang landas at sila ay magkakausap at magkakasama nang matagal. Lalong mahuhulog ang loob nila sa isa’t-isa. Ngunit mayroong problema sa parte ni Allan, hindi magawang iwan ni Allan si Daphne dahil kaakibat rin nito ang pagtalikod sa magandang buhay na kanyang matagal na pinagsumikapan at pinangarap. Nang hindi piliin ni Allan si Mia, ay bumalik ang huli sa Malaysia kung saan siya nagtatrabaho bilang hotel receptionist. Makalipas ang ilang taon ay hahanapin at susundan ni Allan si Mia sa Malaysia ngunit si Mia ay may iba ng mahal at malapit na ring ikasal sa isang Malay. Magkatuluyan pa kaya silang dalawa?
Maganda ang daloy ng kuwento. Kahit pa sabihing alam na ng manonood ang kahahantungan ng kuwento, nagawa pa rin nitong papaniwaling ilihis sa inaasahan at pahirapan ang dalawang pangunahing tauhan na magkatuluyan. Iyon nga lang, sadyang may mga elemento sa pelikula na nagbibgay-dahilan para asahan na nang manonood ang katapusan nito. Sa kabila pa rin nito’y matagumpay ang pelikula sa pagbibigay ng bagong-bihis sa isang kuwentong pag-ibig ng dalawang taong nagkahiwalay, kapwa nabigo at kapwa nahirapan sa pagpili at sa bandang huli’y tadhana pa rin ang nagpasiya sa kanilang kapalaran. Hindi matatawaran ang husay sa pag-arte nila Cruz at Alonzo. Maging si Reyes ay lutang ang kahusayan kahit pa kung tutuusin, siya’y baguhan sa larangan ng pag-arte. Maganda ang kuha ng kamera na nagpakita at nagdala sa manonood sa ilang magandang lugar sa Malyasia. Marami ring makabuluhang linyang magpapa-isip at magpapakilig sa manonood.
Patungkol sa isang wagas na pagmamahalang nagkatagpo sa isang maling panahon ang pelikula. Ipinakita kung paanong ang tunay na pag-ibig ay nahihirapang gumawa ng desisyon dahil sa takot nilang makasakit ng damdamnin ng iba. Ang dalisay na pag-ibig nga naman ay nagsasakripisyo at nagpaparaya. Ipinakita sa kuwento na maaring magmahalan ang dalawang tao kahit pa hindi pa sila gaanong magkakilala. Hindi ito gaanong makatotohanan at maaring magbigay ng maling pananaw sa manonood ukol sa pag-ibig. Lumutang nang husto ang konsepto ng mabilisang pagmamahalan at pag-asa sa tadhana ang kuwento. Mga mahika sa pag-ibig na maaring totoo lamang sa iilan. Higit na nakababahala rin ang pagpapakita ng relasyong sekswal ng mga tauhan sa labas ng kasal. Pawang ang mga ito’y katanggap-tanggap na sa lipunan at hindi na pinagtatalunan kung tama o mali. Nakababala ang pelikula sa aspetong ito. Pero ilan sa mga mabubuting aral sa pelikula ay ang pagpapakitang ang tunay na pagmamahal ay matiyagang naghihintay at sa pag-aasawa, ang kinakailangan ay parehas ang pagmamahal at respeto ng dalawang tao sa isa’t-isa. Ipinakita rin sa pelikula ang pagrespeto sa relihiyon at paniniwala ng isang tao. Gayunpaman, dahil sa ilang maseselang tema sa pelikula, nararapat lamang ito sa manonood na may gulang 14 pataas.

Si Allan (John Lloyd Cruz) ay nagta-trabaho bilang account executive sa isang bangko na pag-aari ng mga magulang ng kasintahan niyang si Daphne (Maricar Reyes). Sa kabila ng pagkakaroon ng halos lahat ng bagay sa buhay, tila may hinahanap-hanap pa rin siya. Magbabago ang lahat nang makilala niya si Mia (Bea Alonzo) sa isang kakatwang eksena sa Pasig Ferry. Sapagkat simple at masayahin si Mia, pawang may kakaiba agad na mararamdaman si Allan dito. Isang araw ay muling magku-krus ang kanilang landas at sila ay magkakausap at magkakasama nang matagal. Lalong mahuhulog ang loob nila sa isa’t-isa. Ngunit mayroong problema sa parte ni Allan, hindi magawang iwan ni Allan si Daphne dahil kaakibat rin nito ang pagtalikod sa magandang buhay na kanyang matagal na pinagsumikapan at pinangarap. Nang hindi piliin ni Allan si Mia, ay bumalik ang huli sa Malaysia kung saan siya nagtatrabaho bilang hotel receptionist. Makalipas ang ilang taon ay hahanapin at susundan ni Allan si Mia sa Malaysia ngunit si Mia ay may iba ng mahal at malapit na ring ikasal sa isang Malay. Magkatuluyan pa kaya silang dalawa?
Maganda ang daloy ng kuwento. Kahit pa sabihing alam na ng manonood ang kahahantungan ng kuwento, nagawa pa rin nitong papaniwaling ilihis sa inaasahan at pahirapan ang dalawang pangunahing tauhan na magkatuluyan. Iyon nga lang, sadyang may mga elemento sa pelikula na nagbibgay-dahilan para asahan na nang manonood ang katapusan nito. Sa kabila pa rin nito’y matagumpay ang pelikula sa pagbibigay ng bagong-bihis sa isang kuwentong pag-ibig ng dalawang taong nagkahiwalay, kapwa nabigo at kapwa nahirapan sa pagpili at sa bandang huli’y tadhana pa rin ang nagpasiya sa kanilang kapalaran. Hindi matatawaran ang husay sa pag-arte nila Cruz at Alonzo. Maging si Reyes ay lutang ang kahusayan kahit pa kung tutuusin, siya’y baguhan sa larangan ng pag-arte.
