It Happened One Night

An old Hollywood romantic comedy is so much better than the ones of today. 

Apparently, these actors hated being in the film but you would not have seen a single scene in which they manifested that. They're both professionals!

Clark Gable...sigh. He is wit and charm personified. 

And it's so gosh darn funny but not too stupid-funny and sweet but not too cloying, I loved, loved, loved it.

Oh god, the FRENCH

French Film Festival.
I suppose gobsmacked would be the right word after seeing all the nudity, sex and intense french kissing in most of the movies. We started with Demon Lover, went in a few minutes after the film began, got confused by the plot, the hentai and the sex and then they started shooting and abusing and what the hell, I enjoyed it when the girl shot the guy in the head in the middle of his orgasm, it was morbidly funny. All the films were well made but I really only enjoyed watching The Artist (i love those black and white films!). I expected some films to have at least a touch of Godard or like Amelie but no, the films were about people I could not sympathize with. Cebu got the bad picks in this year's French Film festival. I was not amused.
