This movies are well crafted and being gay, I am very very proud of it. The scenes were so realistic… I have seen ang pagdadalaga ni maximo oliveros and I can’t help but cry. These are the kind of movies that we, as gays, shold support and patronize…. This movie expresses homosexuality far better than any literature could ever have…..

Both movies are commendable efforts by Cris Pablo to dissect the intricacies of the Filipino homosexual psyche. Though there is ubiquitous room for improvement (particularly in plot progression and some casting choices), both definitely make for a worthwhile viewing experience and quite inarguably recommendable fare even for straight audiences.

(Ay, talagang napunta kay Tim Yap? Sige, sasakay din ako, haha!)
Tama naman si Tim Yap ah, metrosexual nga sya… Di ba ang ‘metrosexual’ eh pinaganda, pinabango, at pinasushal na term para sa nagpapa-mhin-pa’ko-sa-lagay-na’to-kahit-halata-namang-badidang-ako type of guy? LOL!

I saw Moreno and got disappointed. It looked rushed, the actors were self conscious, the story went somewhere that made me ask, “What’s the point?” It ended with a flashback that made me look around trying to find a confirmation of what just happened. “Ito na yon?”, but in a silent way.
Bilog was saved by the Nora Aunor look-a-like. Ara Mina was too big a star to do a role that outshone all the other actors. If she downplayed it a bit, she would’ve blended in instead of a digital film being visited by a diosahh (ngaba?).
Bathhouse was good. I guess i rank the film in the order they were made.
Duda was a surprisingly good pink digital film. But i got disappointed when i viewed the VCD version that i was too proud to send to my friends abroad. Why was Rey Pumaloy’s scenes deleted? Is the DVD version complete? Uugh!

I agree with RonTab, the Nora Aunor-look alike unintentionally saved the Bilog digi-movie
