Zaido the movie???

The man prophesied doom for us all.

I can't seem to shake the feeling that I'll be seeing a locally made version of the Matrix in this film, particularly the last remaining human sanctuary bit in the movie. However, I'll still be giving this a chance as I have seen film that have the feeling of other films but manage to pull every single bit of it of very nicely. For example, the Korean war movie Tae Guk Gi, AKA The Brotherhood of War as released internationally, might be compared to legendary war movies such as Saving Private Ryan and does have some similarities with the later film, including the intensity of the action sequences. Despite this, the film has enough merits in itself that distinguishes it from other war movies such as its setting during the Korean War and the focus on the relationship between the two brothers over the course of the film.

I would want to give this movie the benefit of the doubt as well. It's just that given that Bong Revilla is in it, I can't find the heart to take it seriously anymore.

Besides, the Metro Manila Film Festival itself feels like a joke, especially considering that most of the entries are probably connected to Mother Lily one way or another. Talk about Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Did I forget to mention that the judges include guys like Bayani Fernando? I may be mistaken, though he was in last year's fest
