The Longest Hundred Miles (1967)
Please release on DVD
This war-action-drama movie is personally memorable and I'm sure it is too for many Filipinos, especially the WWII veterans. I saw this on television when I was a child with the whole family in the early 1970s re-run and remember liking it so much not only because it was filmed in the Philippine countryside but also because of its historical theme, and the action scenes too. It was also a delight seeing Hollywood actors on-screen with Filipino actors, including the little Vilma Santos. A theatrical release would have been a hit too.It would be great to see it again on DVD as a grown-up. A 40th anniversary DVD release and TV re-run would be perfect in 2007. Howabout that?
Inagaw mo ang lahat sa akin (1995)
Fine masterpiece
An ugly disturbing theme of incest turned into a fine masterpiece by Director Carlitos Siguion-Reyna. An ugly scenario set in the scenic Philippine countryside. Absolutely not a 'feel-good' movie. Gross yet unpredictable. Shocking as it is, the story's twists and turns even got uglier up to the end. This ugly is beautifully-made. Well-crafted from script to cinematography, from the plot to the music. Most laudable were the cast's solid drama. Both lead actresses, Snooky Serna and Maricel Soriano delivered brilliant performances. So did Armida Siguion-Reyna, Tirso Cruz III, Eric Quizon and Robert Arevalo. This film deserved to be the Philippine entry to the 1995 Oscars.
