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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Harrowing Trip Back Home

Filed Under Movies | 15 Comments

Something happened on the way home to San Pablo, after I spent a day in Manila last Saturday. I taught comics at The College of St. Benilde in the morning, chatted with a friend in Makati in the afternoon, then caught a bus for the long trip home. I was very tired, sleepy and hungry, [...]

Kidding aside, it’s hard for us to get together anyway because he lives in a remote part of Quezon City, while [...]

When I was very young, I think I couldn’t have been older than eight, me and my classmates in grade school went to watch a movie. I remember it being part of our school activities because we had our teacher with us. I also remember us walking from school to a movie house in town, [...]
