It's always been the trademark performing crutch of stage actors, i.e. to churn out big thespic strokes once in cinema. <br /><br />I'd have loved to watch director's cuts in UP but, though I live in QC, UP Diliman is kinda out of the way... In that regard, you're fortunate to see some films in their "unbastardized" glory far removed from the archaic eyes and standard of the MTRCB.

I was also at the premiere of that movie sa UP. Punong-puno ang Cine Adarna. Sad to say eh kabaligtaran 'yan ng Butas 2. Though very similar ang story ng dalawa, IMHO eh mas maganda yung Butas 1 kasi hindi ganun karaming beses inulit-ulit ang eksena. <br /><br />I commend Mocha sa performance niya pero dahil sa lackluster ng mga co-actors niya, namgmukha tuloy siyang OA which is hindi naman. <br /><br />Just so you know, Dodie Dizon was my World Lit professor back in college :)Bb.

Nakakahilo at nakakalito kasi yung perspective na paulit ulit na nagpapalit until you're wondering from whose perspective the story's playing. As for "Salome", hmmm interesting thought. :)Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-81150550872466511632012-10-05T10:40:32.922+08:002012-10-05T10:40:32.922+08:00Napanood ko 'to nung premiere night sa UP.

While "Boso" gears on exposing the female anatomy and the psychology of voyeurism, "Butas 2" is oriented towards the Pink Market. I find that this gives the two films very distinct difference. Somehow, Pink leanings imbue inferior artistry. This is sad because it shouldn't be the case. :(Cathy Penahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208160859321153472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954980542950250593.post-77824385120533322402012-10-02T13:47:05.182+08:002012-10-02T13:47:05.182+08:00what's the better voyeurism film?
