Opening in Philippine Cinema this week are Sinister, This Guy's In Love With You Mare, Salmon Fishing in The Yemen, Flying Swords of Dragon Gate, Pitch Perfect and Dama. While we're in for some fun watches, I fear to announce that some might be a little off that league.
Theatrical Releases
I'm in good faith that horror fans (including myself) will finally be rewarded for patiently waiting for some actually "scary" horror films. [director of Exorcism of Emily Rose] Scott Derrickson's Sinister feels like it, which trailer is legitimately spooky is no less than efficient, a thriller concerning a true-crime novelist (Ethan Hawke) who finds himself tortured by supernatural entities after watching the found footage of the family who was murdered, and ex-owners of his new home.
Wenn V. Deramas's This Guys In Love With You Mare, looks like one other of his overrated comedies like Praybeyt Benjamin (which I partly liked anyway), which sacrifices cinematic elements in favor of "box office". Vice Ganda's comedics is equally worrying and guarding, and one can only hope that the addition of Toni Gonzaga and Luis Manzano is enough to make amendments to what will be the damages. Sometimes it's fun to see some quirk, but mindlessness and unevenness is kind of a different story, something that Deramas usually fleshes out. Not like Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (READ OUR 'SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN' REVIEW HERE),
Flying Swords of Dragon Gate stars Jet Li and I can only hope for a film with first-rate action and visuals. Everything else, I won't be expecting of; besides, a new Quentin Tarantino movie is coming up (The Man with the Iron Fists) and thereof I could totally expect more.
To those who enjoyed Hairspray, Rock of Ages and say, High School Musical, Pitch Perfect is the one for you. Anna Kendrick (End of Watch) is a testament that the film will be very well-casted (she's a great singer, and obviously an actor. She has quite a musical background...I looked her up in Google. Lol, I'm a stalker). Anyhow, Pitch Perfect looks like a film too fun to pass up.
Direct-To-Video and V-O-D Releases
In addition to theatrical releases, I'll also do some from DTD (Direct to Disc) and Video-On-Demand films that will open this week. I'm following three films this week, all of them horrors, Grave Encounters 2, a sequel to the first, which was about a group of horror television fraud who fakes a supernatural investigation in an actual haunted medical institute. Excision, which details I won't be announcing, and Smiley, a YouTube sketch which was turned into a feature-length horror film. All of the mentioned, with the latter as exception I'm much precise will do good, if not average.
