i say: a very slow paced movie though the twist makes everything worth it.

84. dancer in the dark
a woman who never lose hope in darkness, a mother who wanted more than she has for her son and the world she have lived within the music she hears.

i say: a must watch!

83. madrasta 1996

how can a woman fit herself in a home that isn't hers?how can she win someone elses' heart, if she knows that someone already own them? and how can she exert her right, in a position and place that doesn't provide her one?this is a story of the life of a stepmother in filipino home and how it go outside the typical impression about them.

i say: the only sharon cuneta movie i liked... impressive

82. pusong mamon.

probably one of the earliest gay themed movie in philippine cinema that tackled outside the concept of prostitution. it is a story about two gay couples and how there life has been changed when a woman entered their bond.
