cc review: jay

when the bakla review told me that jay was available on dvd, i immediately got myself a copy. but i was able to watch it only last weekend, with moony. i like watching the pinoy indies with him. he seems to enjoy it.

jay is a reality-tv styled movie done right. really loved it. the pacing is tight. the story is real, the characters are fleshed out. baron geisler is convincingly plu, acting so typically like a "produ". i alternately laughed and squirmed at the way the story turned out 'staged'. im remind of broadcast news, that old movie of holly hunter and william hurt. the anchor, the handsome, idolized anchor, could fake everything, including his tears for impact.

if i had to criticize one thing, it would be coco martin's character. i found it a bit of stretch that he'd allow himself to be interviewed on cam. and he is still too pretty for me.

one scene i can't forget: nanay recreating the morgue scene, retouching her powder. artista na si nanay.

magaling. magaling. magaling.
