TUHOG, the movie type that I've waited for so long. Why is it so? Because this movie completes the recipes and ingredients to be called an asian films like other asian countries famous in film makings are presenting. Actually Filipinos are really good film makers unfortunately the ones that are indie films, having the criteria of a best movie happens to a have a little budget. Honestly I'm not an avid fan of mainstream movies, I'd prefer to watch cinemalaya , cinema one originals, movies more than mainstream movies. I'm not saying that mainstream ones are ugly movies, its just that I am more hooked with the Indies, because I find Indie movies more realistic,I can see the true mirror of life thru Indie films. That is why I can't hide my gladness to discover that Skylight Films' latest offering - TUHOG is a Maindie Film - or simply Indie gone mainstream!

TUHOG definitely defines a how life should be treasured by everyone, its an eyeopener movie. It explains how death is surprising as well. The whole movie was really done perfectly although there are still loopholes but its anavoidable, if nobody is perfect, movies of course can't be that perfect but I really congratulate everyone behind this film for lifting up the standard of filipino movie and mainstream movie. Skylight Films and Star Cinema broke the gap of mainstream and indie film which very impressive to be combined. Aside from indie films, I am a fan of asian films from Korea, Chinese and Thailand etc films because of their technique of filming but I guess that more TUHOG kind of movies will definitely change my taste to love only filipino movies, I really look forward more filipino movies of this kind. The story of TUHOG is really one of a kind idea, I'm sure every audience of the movie will give compliment to that, another interesting kind of the movie is the Sci-Fi effect of the angel/beggar role, that really adds a very good rule-breaking technique in a philippine movie. Of course big plus are the actors of the movies that seemed very suitable for each role, not just the main cast but all of the casts in the movies played important roles of the movie. Each of the stories are really mirror of life, the three stories are realistically done, I'm really clapping to this film so many realizations in life to absorb.

Therefore, I congratulate Skylight Films and Star Cinema for this one of a kind movie, thank you to Eugene Domingo, Leo Martinez, Empress Schuck, Enchong Dee and all of the stars in this films. Thank you to Direk Veronica Velasco, Miss Jinkee Laurel (writer) and everyone behind the success of TUHOG. Lets all cheers for the success of Philippine Cinema. I am rating this movie 10/10!

TUHOG MOVIE STORY BOARDS

It didn't sunk in my mind that we, my friends, planned to go out for a movie date in a horrible Friday! I'm always thankful for everyday I live. So I should never thank for Friday, for its given, (hihi). Our meeting time for that date was supposed to be 6:30 - 7:00 PM since we picked 7:30 movie playtime. Since I 'll be coming all the way from the South (Laguna) I alotted 3 hours for my travel time expecting I'l only consume 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours of travel, expecting I will have 1 hour spare time. But since we are  here in Manila (EDSA) that itinerary became a just illusion for me.

I was just so excited to leave our home to Finally see "Minions"(The yellow potato-like stuff or should I say PNOY like stuff, JOKE! haha). The travel from Laguna til SLEX was just fine and moderate til the bus reached Nichols, (along C5 rd, near Asia Pacific College) that stucked me for two hours and more just to reach Ayala Station, since the BUS was 'B' Route. As expected, I came at the Ayala Station with tons of people falling in line over the station - so I was like WTF! My friends gathered already by that time and I was just about to ride the MRT train?! I think I have counted3 trains passed before I finally made it to be like in a  "Sardines Train." I almost ran-out of breath and collapsed inside the train because we were like sardines there, I mean you won't be able move a muscle once you get inside the train.

And.. I missed the 15 minutes of the movie. Thank God "Minions" welcomed me as I entered the Cinema. Whew! the Bad Vibes became Good now! My mind was then alloted for Despicable Me 2 and the Minions. The movie was really great and fun! I am not able to count the Minions that I saw in the movie, I was surprised to know that they have names, thinking how difficult that would be, remembering their names hehe. I enjoyed even all the movie characters, every characters had a great role. The movie was not that long taking maybe 1:45 - 2 hours or I was just mesmerized by Minions to see the movie short, hihi. I would score the movie perfect 10! for saving my day and giving us a perfect goodvibes Friday :)
