Shooting Gallery

I just finished watching a post-apocalyptic film entitled “ZOMBIELAND”.  The apocalypse was triggered after a man ate a contaminated cheeseburger which in turn made him into a walking dead-person or a zombie.  Of course, the infection spread exponentially that in no time at all, there were more “walking-dead” people than the actual living people.  There were a lot of blood and guts spilling all over the place that it felt you were watching a giant shooting gallery where the zombies gets their heads blown off by different gun calibers.  When the heroes run out of bullets, they use everything that they can put their hands on and whack the heads of the zombies.  Talk about being up close and personal!   Nothing beats an old fashioned head-bashing!

Dito sa pabrika ng posporo, dahan-dahan na ring kumalat ang “birus ng kaingayan” dala ng isang kontaminadong zombading.  Oo, zombading ang tawag ko sa mga maingaya o magulo dito sa pabrika. Kahit anong baril ang iputok mo sa mga ulo ng mga taga-sunod ng reynang zombading, hindi sila maubos-ubos. Mayroon at mayroong makakagat at magpapatuloy ng kaingayan. Isa lang ang solusyon, tamaan ng dalawang beses sa ulo ang reynang-zombading(double-tap) para tumigil ang pag kalat ng birus.  Hay….wish ko lang na may Remington Shotgun ako para rak-en-roll  hanggang umaga!.

If you’re into “Ïndi” or “Independently” produced films, get your copy of “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank.” Definitely not your run of the mill film. It’s so refreshing because you would not see the “genetic finger print” of  HollyWood in this movie.  This movie is so innovative in theme and structure.  It tackles the complexity of  making an independent film. There is so much wit and undertones in the film that it leaves me in amazement as to how the writer and director must have painstakingly put their collaborative talents together.  Movie making with zero commercial value in mind is a financial death-sentence. But then again, I think the Filipino audience has just have had enough of the commercially produced films that they are now opening their minds to Independently produced movies.

Sinasalamin ng pag-gawa ng “indi movie” ang tunay na buhay.  Hindi laging masaya ang buhay. Mayron ding mga pag-subok, iba-iba lamang ang antas. Nasa desisyon na ni Juan Dela Cruz kung pipiliin niya na lumaban o mag paka lugmok sa hirap.  Ganito kami sa pabrika ng posporo. May mga epal na zombading. Hindi naman pede putukan ng Remington Shotgun. Kaya kami na ang gumagawa ng paraan para malibang ang aming mga sarili at hindi magpatalo sa lamang-lupa.      

Can’t wait for the next Zombie or Indi films to come out.  The life of a pirate is certainly hard, but life is just a matter of choices and I already made mine.
