Flick Side

My movie review blog is now born!
I am a film addict. No doubt about that. And just how appropriate for me to have a movie review blog to call my own. I sometimes fancy myself as a critic, I don’t know, maybe I’m just too familiar with everything cinematical. I was always the one to ask for that inescapable, “Teej, sino nga pala yung bida sa?“, “Teej, ano nga pala yung movie ni ano?” during small talks and heated movie discussions. I always had an answer but if didn’t, I make sure I’ll find out about it the next day.
Out of IMDB’s Top 100 (as voted by users), I’ve already watched 61 of it, straight 9 out of the top 10. Although that list doesn’t really speak for every one’s taste, it does contain the best films ever. But still as of now, I’m not sure which film is my favorite. Apocalypse Now, maybe.
Flick Side will be a success. Ah well, I hope so. For sure the “wired” demography would find a discerning movie review useful. My blog wouldn’t be jologs, I effin’ swear. I owe it to the pinoy moviegoers. Let me be the one to watch ugly films so they don’t have to. And let me tell them YOU those that are good. Plus, trusted friends are joining me there. These people are co-cinephiles, so what they say has great value.
One of the greatest work-related advice given to me was this. Career-wise, find yourself a job that to you isn’t actually work but instead, you find it as play. I heeding it. Writing about movies, especially the ones you love, isn’t work to me. It’s play. For sure, there’ll be some rough times ahead but it’s ok, I play hard after all.
