Dialing it Back

Filed Under Movies, Philippine Comics | 11 Comments

Allow me to dial it back a bit and take it easy. The case has been submitted to the Supreme Court so all we can do is sit back and wait and see what happens.
All throughout this, I have of course been continuing to work on these comics projects. It’s been kinda crazy. [...]

First time in an IMAX, with Star Trek!

Filed Under Movies | 15 Comments

Thanks to Azrael, me and Ilyn were able to watch Star Trek last night at the IMAX cinema at the SM Mall of Asia. When Az first sent the email asking if I wanted tickets to an IMAX showing of the movie, I immediately said yes. How could I not? I’ve been a life long [...]

CHICKEN LETHAL
by Ruel S. De Vera
Philippine Daily Inquirer
December 20, 2008
‘…but “Wasted,” reprinted twice in book form, was widely recognized to be his greatest work. Until now, that is-because he has unleashed something even more original and crazier than “Wasted.” ‘
For the rest of the review you can check out today’s Philippine Daily Inquirer or see [...]

Crazy October

Filed Under Books, Elmer, Movies, My Comics, Timawa | 6 Comments

October 2008 will go down in my personal history as one of the most eventful. I’d rather not mention the more sordid events, but I can say that I was horribly sick at the start of the month. It took me more than a week to recover. A week later, my wife Ilyn fell sick [...]

Comic Book Movies

Filed Under Movies | 6 Comments

What an awesome movie poster. The buzz is really good about the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, specially due to the late Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. I have to make a confession. When I first saw Heath Ledger in “A Knight’s Tale”, I didn’t like him. I couldn’t stand looking at him. [...]

Noel F. Lim’s Sex Men

Filed Under Comics Artists, Filipino Artists, Movies, Philippine Comics | 33 Comments

Running along the spine, there is a disclaimer: “Warning: This material is for mature readers”.
Well, duh?
In short, Noel F. Lim is INSANE. There’s really no other word for him. Insane in a sense that he’s at the absolute border of what separates sane and insane and can still function relatively well in society. I always [...]

Punisher War Zone

Filed Under Movies | 6 Comments

I’m an old time Punisher comics fan. By old time I mean I liked the very early Punisher comics, some of which were written by Frank Miller on the pages of Daredevil. But I think I mentioned it here before that my favorite Punisher comic book was the first issue of the very first Punisher [...]

Hulk Stuff

Has anyone seen Incredible Hulk yet? Well, don’t tell me what happens because I haven’t seen it yet! I am looking forward to it though. I just hope that when I go to Manila they don’t show the damned movie on the bus! It can happen! I remember seeing them show Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor [...]

What Do You Think of “The Spirit” Teaser?

Filed Under Movies | 14 Comments

THE SPIRIT Teaser
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEv7z9GeHdk
The Spirit movie is based on Will Eisner’s The Spirit comics series, written and directed by Frank Miller, creator of comic books like Sin City and 300, and writer of Batman: Year One, Daredevil: Born Again and Elektra: Assassin.
Frank Miller has always been very “cinematic” with the way he told stories, and with [...]

The Greatest Sci-Fi Movie I’ve Ever Seen

Filed Under Movies | 19 Comments

Joss Whedon created a TV series in 2002 called Firefly which lasted only 14 episodes. In fact, the show was taken off the air before all 14 episodes were shown. Bad ratings. It should have ended there. It would be commercial folly to pursue it further. Ratings had proven that the show didn’t have much [...]

Filed Under Movies, Philippine Comics | 15 Comments

The page above from “IFUGAO“, written by Cirio H. Santiago and illustrated by Alfredo Alcala came out in Hiwaga #95, cover dated May 19, 1954. Curiously, in the very same issue, this movie poster appears as an ad:

In this issue, Ifugao is at part 23. Since Philippine comics serials of this time come out 5 [...]
