SubscribeI haven’t seen any Metro Manila Film Festival 2008 entry. I want to watch Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat but no one wants to go see it with me. I might see it by my lonesome next week. My friend wants to see Baler. But I really don’t like Jericho Rosales at all. With his pa-American accent that’s grating on my nerves… never mind! I will just ask my friend to make a review of the movie that I will post here.
I have read mixed reviews on the entries. What is sad is that Dayo, which is an animated film, was reportedly pulled out of cinemas showing it because of very poor box office returns. Iskul Bukol the Reunion is competing with Ang Tanging Ina Niyong Lahat for the number 1 spot.
What I find funny with this annual MMFF is that there is always a Shake, Rattle and Roll in the entries. I think we’re on 10th now. Hahaha… I wonder until how many Regal Films can produce.
Anyway, here is the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2008 Box Office Gross as of January 2, 2009.
1. Ang Tanging Ina N’yong Lahat – 102.5M
2. Iskul Bukol… 20 Years After – 72.6M
3. Shake Rattle and Roll X – 45.7M
4. Desperadas 2 – 27.3M
5. Baler – 24.5M
6. One Night Only – 5.7M
7. Dayo – 4.1M
8. Magkaibigan – 1.6M

I saw both Baler and Desperadas 2. Love the first one, the second one not so. I would have wanted to see Dayo but it got pulled out of the cinema I frequent too.

Hello Em Dy… I know that Jericho Rosales is a good actor but I really get annoyed hearing him putting an affected accent. It grates on my nerves, to be honest. With Baler, I just find it hard to believe that the mestiza (Anne Curtis) is the Filipino while the moreno (Jericho) is the Spaniard.
