Charlie Puths My Feels Into A Song

I'm Palaya

While doing French & Spanish filmfests, it dawned on me how much I miss watching plays & musicals. 

Today, I went for it. 

Ampalaya Dialogues #TwoIsBitterThanOne is something. 

Spoken Word Poetry moved me like I’d never been before. Talented, talented artists fill this country to the brim. May brighter light shine upon them. Kahuhusay at tataba ng mga utak that I suddenly feel mediocre or craving to learn as much, if not more. The show exceeded expectations but this Leandro & this Carlo exceeded “ordinary looks.” Geniuses in disguise! 

Film / Película: My Christmas 2017

German Film Week last week, Película-Pelíkula: Spanish Film Festival this week.

I call this season "My Christmas" and boy was it merry for me this year.

KUNDSCHAFTER DES FRIEDENS - Senior citizen agents. Outsmarting present-day agents. Recipe for witty-slapstick comedy. 

7.1 out of 10.

NEBEL IM AUGUST – Nazi Euthanasia. Depressing. But boy’s phenomenal acting gave the powerful message some softness off-balance filmmaking emanates. 

7.4 out of 10.

MEIN BLIND DATE MIT DEM LEBEN – Feel-good. Positivist. Naturally charming. Much-needed destressor I needed. 9.1 out of 10.

SELFIE – Organic. Subdued satire. 

7.5 out of 10.

LA PUERTA ABIERTA – Surprisingly entertaining. For a prostitute film. Can imagine Jaclyn Jose portraying this & still come out funny. Unique storytelling. 

8.9 out of 10.

LA DELGADA LÍNEA AMARILLA – Started out dramatic. Unfolded comic. Ended dramatic. Surprised dark fantasy master Guillermo del Toro produced such a simplistic movie. Packs some disturbing punch though towards the end. 

8.7 out of 10.

BONUS: VICTORIA & ABDUL. Managed to squeeze in some mainstream. Right amount of gloss & inspirational.
