Revisitant Working Girls

Le film original 'Working Girl' était un de mes films préférés du decennie 80.  Cétait trés drôle et mémorable pour moi.  J'ai vu la suite hier soir et le nouveau film n'était trés drôle par rapport l'original.  Sauf pour Eugene Domingo, les histoires des autres n'étaient pas trés interessant, c'est dommage!  En ce moment, comedienne Eugene Domingo commençait encore sa carierre mais tu veux voir son talent.  Son partenaire dans le film, Ricky Davao était bien aussi!

Movie Review: Wedding Tayo, Wedding Hindi

Ok, I'm not really much of a fan of this format of Filipino comedy and I'm still not.  The movie talks about two women whose marriages are on polar opposites.  Eugene Domingo's character wants out of her marriage from Wendell Ramos, while Toni Gonzaga's character is in the process of getting married to Zanjoe Marudo's character. 

There are some funny scenes due mainly to Eugene Domingo's fantastic delivery.  I haven't really warmed up to Toni's portrayal of her character but she can be funny at times.  Both Zanjoe and Wendell cut dashing figures as their beaus.  I forgot the story soon as I left the theater and I suggest you just buy the DVD since there's nothing much here that has not been done before.  Or maybe couples squabbling over their failed relationships just doesn't interest me.

Movie Review: Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank

It's ironic that this film won the Cinemalaya Best Picture honors since it pokes fun at indie filmmakers who romanticize local poverty. I don't know if the filmmakers here were trying to poke fun at a particular local indie filmmaker but their point comes across very clearly, since it's done in jest and with so much humor. 

Only four actors talk in the whole movie and it's great that the director cast two of my favorite local boys - JM de Guzman and Kean Cipriano!  Well, the whole movie hinges on several dialogues done by Eugene Domingo which literally brings the whole house down!  In three or four particular scenes, Eugene's delivery of her lines is so good, the whole theater bursts out in laughter loud enough to drown out the dialogue!  She's really funny here - and she plays herself (well, maybe just an alter ego of herself). 

If you want to relax and just have a laugh, this movie may not be it since half of it pokes fun at poverty cinema porn, but Eugene will reward you loads for your patience.  She doesn't come out till about 20 minutes into the movie.  Don't come late though or you'll miss the whole point.
