Song Kang Ho is the only Asian actor to have won Locarno Film Festival’s Excellence Award. He’s also trending these days because his starer film, Parasite, is up for six Oscars, including Best Picture … Continue reading Song Kang Ho, the Male Muse of South Korea’s Most Prolific Directors
Be it singing, dancing, acting, or whatever talent in the arts he may also possess, Edgar Allan Guzman, or EA Guzman, can deliver. What started as a grand championship in Eat Bulaga’s Mr. Pogi would grow into a stable career for EA. He would star in several indie and mainstream films as lead and support, with Cinemalaya’s Ligo na Ü, Lapit na Me being one … Continue reading EA Guzman Feature: The Underrated Chameleon
I forgot about you. I forgot that I waited for you patiently for over 2 years, all torn up, ‘coz they say your government doesn’t play favorites…until you faded away and I let others distract me for a while. I forgot that I went bonkers over this set of limited release polaroids featuring a less famous you six years ago; Six years ago when your … Continue reading Dear Joong Ki
