Viva La Aunor!
UNAHIN PO NATING PANOORIN ANG THY WOMB AT EL PRESIDENTE. SALAMAT PO MR. SIMON.
I will watch "One More Try" first. A friend of mine who is a member of the Cinema Evaluation Board who gave it an A rating said it is very good.
Suportahan po natin ang pelikulang Pilipino! Kudos to all the participants!
SisterCHAKAS, rated B? Bakeeeeeeet??? Ang nilalait na Sosy Problems at hindi man lang nakakuha kahit na B ay siya pang pinuri ni Mario Bautista na isang film critic.
cinema evaluation board has been abused by its members. even films which have no quality are graded. just one summer, no other woman, in the name of love, pak pak dr kwak? excuse me!

- pfft! as if! ginagawa pang tanga ang mga manunuod. obvious na panatiko ni angel locsin ito. nagpo-promote lang!
Akala ko, ako lang ang nakakapansin ng pang-aabuso ng CEB (Cinema Evaluation Board) sa kanilang paggi-grade ng mga pelikula. Sisterakas, rated B? And yet, ang Sosy Problems na na-review na at maganda raw ang pagkakagawa ni Direk Andoy Ranay, eh di nakakuha kahit B. Maraming rason diyan. Una, wala naman talagang alam sa pagkilatis ng mga pelikula ang members nila. Pangalawa, for some reason, takot sila sa Presidente dahil isang utos lang nito ay tanggal na sila. Imagine, pati ang basurang pelikula na Segunda Mano (sorry, Direk Joyce) eh graded A? Bakit? Dahil kay Kris Aquino! Kaya nga graded B na naman ang Sisterakas. Kasi, feeling nila, mamahalin sila ni Kris at ng mga iba pang producers ng pelikula kapag binigyan nila ang movies ng grade A or B kasi maibabalik ang amusement tax. Nagpapalakas? Tama! Kasi, matagal nang reklamo ng mga taga-pelikula na hindi sila nabibigyan ng karampatang panahon at atensyon ng gobyerno. So, itong mga CEB members ang gumagawa nito kahit na ang kapalit ay kahihiyan at karangalan nila.
Aba, sunud-sunod ang mga pelikulang graded A at B ha.
Teka, yung kapitbahay naming dealer ng insurance, gusto raw maging member ng CEB. Isama nyo na rin ang tita kong dating OFW at businesswoman ngayon.
