NO FRILLS, NO BUDGET BUT GREAT ACTING MOVIES

Subject: NO FRILLS, NO BUDGET BUT GREAT ACTING MOVIES Fri Jul 02, 2010 4:32 pm

Okay, A-list actors like Angelina Jolie, Piolo Pascual, Judy Ann Santos, Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Brad Pitt, Leo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise make blockbuster, hi-budget flicks, but they also make small movies that showcase their acting prowess and not their stellar good looks. This only proves that no matter how much money you make in tinseltown, you're not a true actor if you've got no Oscar, Urian, Cinemalaya,Sundance or Cannes nomination at least. Now there are so many gifted actors who are often overlooked by the box-office but not by the award-giving bodies. This is where we pay homage to them who do it for the love of acting.

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind is a brilliant movie. It stars Jim Carrey..Should have earned better promotion if only for the name. I did not hear any positive recommendation but I got the dvd and....LOVED it.
Hello to both amazing authors Smile

I'm still looking for a copy Peque Gallaga's Oro, Plata, Mata until now. Hanggang ngayon bits and pieces lang ang napapanood ko.

I used to see this guy in the hallways of LSalle Bacolod (he is a Negrense) almost everyday pero never ako nagkaroon ng guts magpa-autograph. To think he is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Neutral

I also like "Namets" kaya lang it's an ilonggo film. But it's about food. And food is universal. I watch this film whenever I miss my hometown. Smile

@jonah: Ganda ng Cinema Paradiso no? Best ending ever! cheers

And nope, Engineering kinuha ko noong college (pero super bobo ako sa math lol). I was one of those girls who go to school na calculator lang at ballpen ang dala sa likod ng bulsa ko, sneakers and all. Mga five years ago ko lang yata nalaman ang existence ng make-up at palda. Razz

even with a limited budget (compared to its American film counterparts), the British period piece "The King's Speech" delivers. loved colin firth here.
