Man of Steel Broke My Heart

Filed Under General, Movies | 21 Comments

“Keep an open mind.” That’s the thing I kept repeating to myself for days leading up to the day I watched Man of Steel. I carefully avoided all the spoilers, and from whatever comments made by other people, I tried not to let it affect my own judgment. SPOILERS AHEAD! There was a lot to [...]

Why Star Trek Matters

Filed Under General, Internet, Movies | 2 Comments

Someone added me recently to a Star Trek group in Facebook. It made me realize how much of a Trekkie I am. A Trekkie for much of my life, actually. I dug up this rather long piece I wrote about Star Trek in 2004, expressing my anguish at the cancellation of ENTERPRISE after only 4 [...]

Tin-Tin, 15 Short Film

Filed Under Movies, Video Blogs | 1 Comment

During the first week of May, I was involved in making this short film on child trafficking and prostitution, directed by Lem Garcellano (Batibot) . I don’t think it’s a film for commercial purposes as it will be used for information rather than entertainment. I wrote a little bit about it here. Naturally, I made [...]

Filed Under Komikero Group, Movies | 2 Comments

For the last couple of days I took a short diversion from comics to participate in the making of a short film called “Tin-Tin, 15″, designed to tackle the issue of child trafficking in the country and its devastating effects. I played a really, REALLY bad guy. Johnny Danganan (playing a straight guy), Jonas Diego [...]

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. I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
