Although I don't feel competent to write a film review for some reasons, this review will serve as a personal guide to keep track of whatever I read or see. My Siete Pares buddies have this tradition of watching a film during the Manila Film Festival, and having dinner together. It's our official bonding time, and a time to talk about anything from high school teachers to escapades to SM North Edsa, a stone's throw away from our beloved Quezon City Science High School.

Okay, so this is a film review. But let me not follow standards.

First, why did we watch this film? Since Maan has already watched Mano Po 3, that is out of the game. Melissa wanted to watch Sigaw but since she couldn't join us, that was also out of the game. We trimmed down our choices to 2: So Happy Together and Aishite Imasu. We decided to "toss coin". Kris Aquino's movie won in our Toss Coin Best of 5.

As I walk towards the ticket booth, we changed our minds. 'Parang ang babaw ng movie ni Kris", we prematurely judged. So we ended up watching Juday.

I had no idea what the film was all about. All I know is that Dennis Trillo, who was introduced in this movie, won the Best Supporting Actor award. I haven't seen the other films so there's no way for me to compare, but his acting was effective enough. In fact, he shone throughout the film, even more intensely than the lead actors.

Another thing I remember vividly is not part of the movie, but this group of guys in the audience who were talking so loudly that they were distracting us terribly. What should we do to these kind of people? Mahal ko kayo.
