Like last year, we committed to watching Cinemalaya this year. As always, the line-up of feature films is very intriguing. This year, more and more superstars are going indie. Nora Aunor, Richard Gomez, Dennis Trillo, even Ai-Ai delas Alas are all in. Of course indie-loyals have a movie or two - the Buencaminos, Mara Lopez, Alex Medina.
We are most excited about how Philippine indie have become in the past X years. We wonder who watches Cinemalaya this year.

We are most excited about:
1st ko si 3rd - Nova Villa and Freddie Webb reunion (Ines and Jimmy Capistrano, remember?) is a dream come true for many of us who grew up in the 80's Chicks-to-Chicks. I probably would not care if it is a good film, you watch this for sentimentality reasons
Hustisya - Ate Guy again in a Lamangan film. Enough said.
Mariquina - the plot, the script by last year's best director and best film winner
Hari ng Tondo - we miss CSR. It's been a while that I could not remember his last film. So a must see for CSR fans and even non-fans
