I AM NOT WHAT YOU WANT

ANG LIHIM NI ANTONIO ( Antonio's secret)

I just finished watching this film last week and i don't know why i am not still over with this movie. I am super impressed with the acting. The characters are too true that you can see yourself in them one way or another. The delivery of lines are perfect especially Kenji, the "15 year old" main star. The story is so light, very young but intense. The plot is so easy to understand but not predictable. Acting is the best. I super duper recommend this movie to all. The movie is already hardcoded with English subtitle.

Antonio is a curious fifteen-year-old boy who is beginning to realize his sexuality, being attracted to men. His straight best friend, Mike, has been supportive of his admission. His first sexual exploration, however, destroyed his friendship with another friend, Nathan.

His father has been working in Dubai for at least 8 years, but refuses to come home, for having a new family there. His father keeps this as a secret to the wife, Tere.
Antonio then meets Uncle Jonbert and becomes his sexual obsession. But Antonio was caught unprepared for things that would be, and in a sudden cascade of events, Tere killed Jobert.

SIKIL

Three friends, two boys and a girl growing up in a small town south of Manila, share the same dreams, the same pains, the same visions and the same passions.
As they reach adulthood the love they have for each other reaches a new intensity and in this perfect friendship, choices have to be made testing their loyalties while discovering their preferences.
From being childhood friends they become three individuals struggling to find their true identity, looking for a deeper meaning to their existence. This friendship was almost perfect but for the choices they have to make, the very choice that is capable of ripping their friendship apart when boy loves girl, girl loves boy and boy loves boy.
A different kind of love that brings on the true beauty, the deeper meaning of forgiveness and the joy of letting go.

DAY BREAK

Love the movie. Emotions are so deep. Kisses are so real.
Love the setting and super duper love the soundtrack.
Very recommended! Enjoy

Daybreak is a movie that happens entirely in one place: a rest house in Taal, Batangas and only with two actors: Coco Martin and Paolo Rivero.
It's a movie filmed in a single location, in a single narrative time, intending by way of voyeurism, to discover what happens to two men spending one night contemplating whether to break up or continue their relationship.
William (Paolo Rivero) a pedetrician and JP (Coco Martin), a local boatman/tour guide, spend the night in William's resthouse in Taal trying to find words, answers, and tears to decide whether to break-up or take their relationship to the next level- William leaving his wife and finally living with JP.
Memories and dreams, truths and lies, fears and desires, honesty and betrayal, a love and hate- they all closely entwined in this night. Behind the veil of words, they become intimate, but will the light of sunrise bring this intimacy to end?

KAMBYO (2008, DVD RIP)

*fixed links!
I find this movie interesting. The first 30 minutes of the film is boring, everything you see is a mini van moving from one location to the other. But as the movie progresses, the story gets interesting and believable. The love scene between Johnron Tanada and Rayan Dulay is extraordinary. This is the only pink pinoy movie ive seen so far that the tougue is involved in kissing. Man, Johnron is effin hawt! Also, Kenjie Garcia is the better actor that the rest of the cast. Enjoyed watching it. :)

It's the last summer of their university life. Cousins Macky (Rayan Dulay, Bathhouse) and Manuel (Kenjie Garcia, Ang Lihim ni Antonio) start on a road trip to look for the Macky's long lost friend Philip (Johnron Tanada). They bring along with them their fun loving friend Xavier (Harold Macasero), who tags along a hunky guy named Aldo (Gabz del Rosario), whom he just met right before their trip.
As the engine of Macky's old van begins to accelerate, their relationships start on a new journey. Love blooms. Secrets unfold. Insecurities collide. And hidden desires set in.
As they drive their way up north of Manila, this unrestrained group of three friends and a stranger explore the boundaries of their friendships, their sexualities, their dreams and the future that lies ahead of them.
