Wang Fam Film Trailer Review


What can be said about the Wang Fam official movie trailer? Wang Fam is a comedy film by Wenn V. Deramas and if you have followed the films by the "all-time blockbuster director" you'll know what exactly you are getting at. Wang Fam is a film about aswangs, well the good kind of course as it probably is hard to root for evil aswangs. Wang Fam is reminiscent of the American comedy horror film "The Adams Family" but only with aswangs. Although there is a scene in the trailer where there are human body parts hanging on the wall, if these are "real" human body parts, then that sure is messed up.


Well to the trailer's credit, I did manage to make me smirk at the immaturity of its humor. That's it really, immature humor as seen in past works by Wenn Deramas which you either love it or hate. This time Wenn Deramas gathers an ensemble of highly likable comedians, a teeny-bopper love team though Andre Paras and Yassi Pressman which covers the romantic comedy side of it; and a cute child actor Alonzo Muhlach (son of also former popular child star Niño Muhlach) to amp up the cuteness factor. Wang Fam definitely uses parody (of Twilight), and the usual stereotype comedy cliches in scenes and dumb (usually self-aware) characters. When watching this movie expect for the worst and hope for the best kind of entertainment.


How about you guys? What do you think of this 2015 aswang movie from Viva Films? Do you like Wenn Deramas films? what's your favorite? Share your thoughts and opinion about the wang Fam in the comments section below:

Let's check out what this latest love affair of a romantic drama film from Star Cinema has to offer.


The Love Affair

The Love Affair Film Trailer Review

So what is there to say about The Love Affair uncut trailer? Well besides some additional swear words that didn't made the local "family-friendly" television trailer, The Love Affair trailer is your basic drama film that once again deals with infidelity. This time it deals with the wife (Dawn Zulueta) cheating on her husband (Richard Gomez) who laters find it out and ends up encountering Bea Alonzo's character who was supposedly the bride-to-be to another cheater, Tom Rodriguez' character. Both Richard and Bea found solace and romance with each other's company and another movie dedicated to illicit affair ensues.


Now that we had another illicit affair premise tackled, there is nothing really that this film has to offer than a change of actors playing the title roles. The chemistry is always good with Richard-Dawn pair-up and Bea is always pretty to look at. Well, it is also probably exciting for fans to see Richard and Dawn back in the big screen again and one could say that it is probably enough for them to plow through the cliche'd and milked-to-exhaustion premise of adultery in Filipino films. Heck, we might even see a Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla with this kind of film ten to twenty years from now and people would still buy that thing. Well, to its credit, the film does make you question if it is justified to correct one wrongdoing with another... well, NO!; There, we finally answered it. So can we now not see the film? :D But seriously speaking, this film would probably bring up talks about divorce, grounds for annulment, morality or justification of committing acts of adultery. Well, I want to think that the film would be smart that way. Well hopefully I can hear that from you guys or someone who'll go see it. Give us a heads up here if ever it became a smart romantic kind of drama flick. Oh and one last thing, I'd call that Richard and Dawn will patch things up in the end. Call it a hunch or I could be wrong. :D


How about you guys? What do you think about this Richard Gomez, Bea Alonzo, and Dawn Zulueta illicit affair Filipino movie? What local film titles that focus on cheating and adultery that you have seen or enjoyed recently? Do you think it is okay to use such cliche premise over and over again in Filipino films but only with minor tweaks and change of characters?

Chain Mail Trailer Impressions: Horror Comes via Chain E-mail

Let's check out what this latest horror film from Viva Films has to offer.

Chain Mail Film Trailer Review

So what is there to say about the Chain Mail official trailer? Let's start with the positives. On what we can observe from the trailer, the film uses some creepy practical effects and costumes for its featured demons which could also work against the Filipino horror flick. So that's basically what I can observe list down for the positives. Now down with the negatives...


First, the premise. Chain letters via e-mails, really? This is the best premise that Viva green lit and the writer (and director) can come up in 2016? Guess, pass Philippine and international (mostly Asian) horror film titles and television horror shows have already been forgotten that they used this uninspired cliched theme again. Add in Nadine Lustre into the mix and you already have something that horror film goers will flock, right Viva? I guess anything for the "newer" generation of film going audience then. There is also something to be said on showing the demon featured in the film. While I mentioned that it is a positive of this trailer, it also works against it because the shock value is no longer there. The trailer so lamely showed what the demon looks like along with scenes on which very much cashes in to jump scares where the monster will be. This is what I don't like in trailers in general. That it tells and shows so much about the film that when you actually see the film, you already are aware of what is going to happen. Well there is always the mystery of what this demon and how would it be defeated, but how can you take a demon who takes it sweet time composing an e-mail to spread its evil via e-mail on which if you succeed you will be blessed and if not you will die? Who still believe in chain letters, messages, and e-mails nowadays anyways? The true horror is on how did those chain text (SMS) message about you winning a raffle promo which you or the people around you never participated on arrived in your phone and expect you to fall for it. That's the true horror that we can observe in today's society but that's not worth turning into a Filipino horror movie. Let's just stick with the tried and tested formula then, a film studio and screen writers might conclude. :D


So how about you? What do you think of the demon shown in this trailer? Is the trailer scary enough for you and actually convince you to even spend a few pesos on it? Are you even a fan of Filipino horror films? What is your favorite horror film? Share your thoughts and opinion about the Chain Mail official trailer in the comments section below:

Segunda Mano Trailer Impressions: Ladies, Beware of Antique Handbags!

Segunda Mano is a 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival horror entry from Star Cinema under the direction of Joyce Bernal starring Philippine's "horror" queen Kris Aquino. What does this MMFF 2011 horror entry has in store for Filipinos who likes being scared to death this Christmas? Let's check the trailer out.

Segunda Mano
Plot / Synopsis

Segunda Mano which directly translates to "Second hHand" tells a story of various cursed antique objects that haunts its unfortunate new owners.

Segunda Mano Trailer Impression
Segunda Mano Trailer Review

Watch out for that seemingly expensive looking antique handbag, it might be cursed! Silly as it might sound, that is what seems to be main evil that would linger in the entirety of the film. A malevolent spirit or a curse in a bag or in whatever antique object offers the film showcase. Antiques have always been used as a good source of curse or evil in various horror film and that is what Segunda Mano is all about. Of course, the fun in such preposterous idea is how each victim gets to be killed by such evils.

Segunda Mano is probably guilty of being using second (third or how many times) hand concepts that most horror films have been using from day one. But guess what, even if that is the case, this film will still get a good number of Filipino movie goers watching it this Metro Manila film Festival 2011. Who does not want to see that ever sophisticated and controversial sister of the Philippines President Noynoy Aquino get smothered by water. That scene alone is funny and would convince me to go check it just for the laughs hahaha. Seriously speaking, given to choose only one horror film to watch this MMFF 2011, I do not think Segunda Mano will be my choice. Well, that is me, but many may beg to differ.

Yesterday Today Tomorrow Trailer Impressions: A Regal Films' Metro Manila Film Festival 2011 3-in-1 Drama Extravaganza

Yesterday Today Tomorrow is a 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival entry from Regal Entertainment Inc. starring Philippine cinema's best and new faces in a drama film this Christmas. Yesterday Today Tomorrow is the only MMFF 2011 entry amongst the list, so will it mean that it will bag the most when it comes to awards? Let's check out the trailer first.

Yesterday Today Tomorrow
Plot / Synopsis

Yesterday Today Tomorrow tells three different stories of love, family, passion and lost.

Yesterday Today Tomorrow Trailer Review

Yesterday Today Tomorrow is the only drama entry in the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival which could possibly spell two outcome for the film: First is that the film may bag most of awards in the Metro Manila Film Festival Awards night, specifically the best actor, best actress, etc. The second is that there is also a good chance that the film will not do good when in it comes to sales as families will usually prefer a much happier films and there is quite a lot to choose from on the entry. But that does not mean the film will suck as it features Philippine cinema veterans like Maricel Soriano and Gabby Concepcion, not to mention some of the more contemporary actors like Lovi Poe, Dennis Trillo, Paulo Avelino, and Jericho Rosales. But what about the trailer?

There is nothing much to tell about the trailer, that it is much a straightforward drama with all of the complications that you can regularly see in one. A cliche of some sort. The only difference is that the film does not ponder on a single story alone. That is why they made it into a 3-in-1 kind of drama. The film features three complicated stories that may eventually intertwine or interconnect onto one single event (shown in the trailer) which may very well be the climax and turning point of all three stories. For fans of any of the actors involved in Yesterday Today Tomorrow, or drama films in general, there will not be any second thoughts when this film hits the theaters this Christmas. As for regular Filipino movie going audience though, I am really not so sure about it. In a festive season when everyone feels so happy, I do not think that they would first prioritize a drama title over a list of comedy and drama.; not unless they consider such title as a masterfully crafted film.

Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 Trailer Impressions: Your Annual Triple Horror Treat from Regal

Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 is a horror thriller film and an official entry to the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival entry form Regal Films. Regal Films has made it to the point to make the Shake, Rattle & Roll series an annual thing ever since Shake, Rattle and Roll 2K5 back in 2005. So what is in store for Filipino movie goers this Metro Manila Film Festival 2011?

Shake, Rattle & Roll 13

Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 Trailer Review

Besides having a variety of film to choose from, the Metro Manila Film Festival has also become the permanent venue of the Shake, Rattle & Roll film franchise. Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 is an official 2011 MMFF entry from Regal Films which features three tales of horror which does not always ends in your regular "happy ending". So what is there to say about Shake, Rattle, & Roll 13? It has always been a requirement that in order for a trailer to be considered "good" it has to actually need to be able to have a good balance between showing and not showing things. So far, the Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 movie trailer features both. Although it featured the monstrosities in the film, there is this element of mystery as behind them. How will each episode use them?

What is there not to say about the SR&R film series? It has its share of good and bad parts, installments, acting, direction, and special effects. Hopefully the latest installment has the good ones outshining more of its bad parts. I for one am against too much dependence on computer graphic effects. I not for the bad quality of CGI used in past films, I will not be saying this but they have proven to be a headache everytime a film depends on CGI so much. When it comes to providing the scares, nothing beats a good old wax molding and makeup for the creatures, convincing acting and an engaging plot. After seeing the trailer, all I can say hat it has its bard parts (especially the CGI water in the car), but hopefully it doesn't take that much away from the whole film experience. I am looking forward to see the kind of directing, acting and writing provided by each Shake, Rattle & Roll 13 episodes.

Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story is in full black-and-white presentation which is a first in 21st century mainstream Philippine cinema.

Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story Trailer Review

When I first heard that there is an Asiong Salonga film included in the 2011 Metro manila film Festival, I was really skeptical. They don't make entertaining action films nowadays and I somehow thought that the action film genre already died out together with the ST genre. But as the saying goes never judge a book by its covers, so eventually my skepticism was replaced by genuine interest after seeing the Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga trailer.



Manila Kingpin: the Asiong Salonga story has kalesa gun fight chase sequence now where else can you find that badassery? Only in the Philippines my friends... only in the Philippines. Hahahaha

Let me ask you, when was the last time you actually watched and appreciated a good Philippine-produced action film? As for me the last time that I could remember was way back on FPJ (Fernando Poe, Jr.) days. I regularly watched it with my father. So it was quite a surprise to see the return of action film back to mainstream Philippine cinema this 2011. Not only did it return with the Manila Kingpin: the Asiong Salonga Story, but it returned in a very classy and artistic manner. The 2011 MMFF biographical period action film is beautifully shot and presented in black-and-white which gave it the period look without making it feel cheaply dated or low quality. The trailer proves that you do not need any expensive or flashy 3-D CGI effects in a trailer to actually captivate and convince movie goers to go watch a film. Some of my cinephile friends who usually prefer a more sophisticated, complex, artistic, and "Cannes Film Festival" like films seems to really like this film, so that has to account to something, right? But even as an ordinary movie goer/reviewer (with simple and non-sophisticated nitpicking taste), I appreciate and liked The Asiong Salonga Story 2011 film trailer.

My Househusband, Ikaw Na! Trailer Impressions: A Modern Filipino Marriage Family Arrangement?

My Househusband, Ikaw Na! is a comedy drama film under OctoArts Films starring real life celebrity couple Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo.

My Househusband, Ikaw Na!
Plot / Synopsis

When Rod (Ryan Agoncillo), a father of two decided to quit his job, his wife (Judy Ann Santos) eventually decides to pursue a life of a career woman. As if this arrangement was not difficult enough (for an ordinary middle class Filipino family) for the two loving couple, a new neighbor (Eugene Domingo) comes along which may possibly put the couple's marriage to the test. That plus the malicious rumors spread by neighbors and the meddlesome relatives of each party. Thus the comedy ends and the family drama begins.

My Househusband, Ikaw Na! Trailer Review

Filipinos have a strong affiliation and love to their families. So when you put two highly a list of highly acclaimed and adored actors into a film about family, then that is one perfect mix of a Metro Manila Film Fest Entry this 2011.



The trailer is pretty much straightforward, husband loses job, wife gets an executive position, and the couple struggle with the arrangement not usually seen on traditional Filipino families. You can obviously tell where the drama would come from the trailer alone... via its meddlesome relatives (which has always been the case for most Filipino families). But that is what Filipino movie goers like... the reality of married life; and the the joys and complications that goes with it. Thanks to the real life chemistry of Judy Ann and Ryan, plus the funny and lovable aura of Ms. Eugene Domingo the movie trailer is just oozing with appeal. But do not let the humor shown in the trailer fool you as it could just hide a more heavy drama inside it. A very easy recommendation for Pinoy Movie Blogger.

Ang Panday 2 Trailer Impression
Ang Panday 2 Trailer Review

I have a couple of rules that would make me call a movie trailer an effective and successful in creating buzz and building hype to attract movie goers to watch it. One is that you should never spoil the film audience by summarizing the entire film in a trailer. Second is to to not show the best parts of the film or just simply give a small glimpse of it to engage and intrigued the movie goers to actually see it. And that ladies and gentlemen is what the Panday 2 did not do.



Do not get me wrong, I am still hopeful that the Philippine movie industry can once again get back to its golden age state like what it was before, but only if they learn to adapt the ever increasing and changing demand and taste of film fans. Although Ang Panday 2 features an impressive array of computer generated effects not regularly seen on a Philippine produced film, this does not mean that it is automatically considered or be called a good or quality film. There are so many factors that constitute a good film, but let us discuss that for another time. Let us go back to Ang Panday 2 2011 movie trailer. The trailer to me is very sloppily made, first you see an old fairy saying about his experience about the war, then you jump to someone reminding the protagonist that he is relying too much on the sword, and he next the hero is making some twisted belief that sacrifices are needed to fight for peace. Maybe that is the underlying plot featured here but it is so vaguely touch and if that is what the entire story is about, Flavio undergoing a confusion of what truly matters then it might just spoil it a bit, for those kinds of struggle are best watched than stated in a trailer. Then we have those other characters which just made it more chaotic. We have computer generated fairies, dragons, sea monsters, "aswangs", giant scorpions, sandhenchmen, and a witch who introduced herself as the queen of darkness but is obviously just a henchwoman. Seeing the last Ang Panday film, the trailer has once again made its same mistake as it had before. Throw in all the good CGI part in the trailer for they believe it is enough marketing for the film. In a way, it works especially when trailers for Ang Panday 2 have proliferated in various commercials in the Kapuso Network (it really helps that a television station is a producer of the film), but to those who have been disappointed by Imus Production created films know better than not to be fooled twice. The trailer is really aimed for the children. Cashing in on the sense that parents are forced by their children to watch Ang Panday 2 because of the shiny stuff rather than the actual story itself. I maybe wrong in pre-judging it but the trailer isn't just convincing me that it is any better from what it was before. A film that does not explore and give justice to the popular iconic comics character Panday, but rather rely on CGI to do the work for them. I remember seeing a classic Panday film starring the late Fernando Poe Jr. and it was something. Although it is unfair to compare the before and after as film audience might have a strong sense of nostalgia in the past, I believe that it is more important for studios to emulate the writing and progression of the story, than depending too much on CGI and a more Hollywood-ish effect. I will no longer touch touch the very obvious as everyone has already notice the "Clash of the Titans" and "Eragon" computer graphics that "inspired" the look of Ang Panday 2 characters. The argument that every movie takes the inspiration from another is valid, so I will end it with that.

The funny thing is that families will still flock the theaters to watch Ang Panday 2. I know I would which is a quite a surprise actually as how I negatively receive this trailer. I also believe in the "if you do not like it don't watch it" kind of thinking, that's what I did with the Twilight series... a boycott. But like I said I am still hopeful that this is just a case of ineffective film trailer creation that at its core there is something special in it. I am more critical of this trailer review than my Enteng ng Ina Mo one because the film wants to be taken seriously but fails. At least to critical and film veterans (let us not include the "high class taste" of the Cannes film fest cinephiles into the mix), the films falls short as the trailer is obviously aimed for children. So will I recommend you guys to see it? Well, yeah. But i wished that ang Panday 2 trailer made it abit easy for the Pinoy movie Blogger to recommend it without doing this massive trailer impressions. This seems already a movie review itself Hahahaha.

Enteng ng Ina Mo Trailer Impressions: This is it! The Ultimate Blockbuster Film of MMFF 2011

Enteng ng Ina Mo is the second crossover Enteng Kabisote film and the eighth installment in the Okay Ka, Fairy Ko! film franchise. "Enteng ng Ina Mo" puts two blockbuster actors into one mega movie for the entire family this 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival. So what is there to say about this seemingly ultimate MMFF 2011 blockbuster film?



Enteng ng Ina Mo
Plot / Synopsis

Enteng Ng Ina Mo tackles the two completely different worlds of Enteng Kabisote (Vic Sotto) and of Ina Montecillo (Ai Ai delas Alas) as they cross-over to eachother's lives and face challenges beyond their expectations.

Enteng ng Ina Mo Trailer Impression
Enteng ng Ina Mo Trailer Review

We somehow had it coming when the Enteng Kabisote franchise started to feature a character outside of its universe with Agimat last 2010. This 2011, Star Cinema, M-Zet TV Productions, APT Entertainment Production and Octo Arts Films made it happen, another Enteng Kabisote movie crossover. Featuring the mega-movie that everyday ordinary Filipino masses have been praying for since the very beginning, a movie starring the Metro Manila Film Festival Blockbuster King Vic Sotto and Comedy Queen Ai Ai delas Alas.



Enteng ng Ina Mo has the best of both worlds, well the latest from those worlds. Don't expect Christine Hermosa (Enteng Kabisote) or Heart Evangelista (Tanging Ina Mo) in this film. The characters featured in this film are taken from the both of the film franchise's last films, but it doesn't take anything away from it. As long as you have Vic Sotto, Jose Manalo, Ai Ai delas Alas and Eugene Domingo then you are usually guaranteed with laugh out loud moments; and effective writing I just hope that the MMFF 2011 crossover title will have decent writing in it. We are not really watching it for the special effects, but for the humor. I hope they flesh out a little more of Enkantasya on this one. The trailer made me smile a bit, so that should count for something. Knowing the humor of Tanging Ina; and the usually slapstick and "sexual innuendo-filled" comedy of Enteng Kabisote (and this is supposed to be a family film), we can expect a perfect blend of comedy (or an awful horrendous mix) this Metro Manila Film Festival. One thing is certain though, that Enteng ng Ina Mo will definitely be another blockbuster success (in terms of sales).
