Theater Cruising

Have you visited a moviehouse not to check out the movie being shown but to pick up or be picked up? Have you had encounters in a dingy cinema which features movies out of current circulation?

I would admit, my very first encounter has been in a moviehouse in Quiapo. I was a late bloomer. I was strictly guarded by my parents and I would just be travelling from the house to the school and vice versa. It would not be until I got to college that I got to explore. I have heard of the old moviehouses in Quiapo and after a long period of mere curiousity, I got to experience it myself.

Back then, there were a lot of these moviehouses near Quiapo Church that show "bomba" films. Two were along Quezon Avenue at the same side as the church while another two were on the other side of the street. Three were nearer Isetan, along Recto while there were another two along Rizal Avenue. Many of these have already been closed or demolished but back then in the 80's, you can take your pick.

For the uninitiated, what would expect if you do take the excursion. Guys will normally be in the foyer area or near the comfort rooms. When you enter the cinema proper, it would normally be very dark, with hardly any track lighting so you really have to grope your way when finding a seat. The best seats for me is near the electric fans. The place can get hot and unless you have a spare shirt with you, you can get drenched with sweat.

If encounters in movie houses is not your peice of cake, various motels are located nearby but there is not assurance that they are any less dingy than the moviehouse you came from. Back when I was young and naive, I let others lead the way and take me where they wanted me to be but now older, and maybe wiser, I would rather be in a comfortable place. I have heard some modus operani that people get cornered by their hook ups because the owner of the motel conspire with the conmen.

It is a gamble when meeting people in these kind of places so always be careful. You don't have anything to hold against them - no picture, no identification. It might be safer to chat and start with a date then progress from there. However, if anonymity and the possibility of danger is what brings you thrill, then these encounters will probably give you a boost.

Though there are still moviehouses like those, even in Cubao, many have opted to cruise in more upscale cinemas like SM North Edsa or Megamall where staying in the backrow now would probably yield a hook up.

If you plan for an adventure, take care of your belongings. If possible, don't bring a watch or a cellphone. Don't bring a large amount of money and always be mindful where you drop your clothes because the floors can get sticky. Be happy but safe guys.

Monti Parungao's The Escort - Surprising Serendipity

There’s something implicit about Karlo’s (Miko Pasamonte) disposition about his trade. He’s straight forward without being intrepid. Yet a sense of innocence surrounds his demeanor. Karlo works as an escort, accompanying gay men in concupiscent holidays in Boracay, performing prurient private shows with his hustler friend (Jommel Idulan) for gay old men, etc. “Kung gagamitin niyo lang ako, mag gamitin tayo,” he reasons. He is quite celebrated too with referrals coming in from satisfied customers.

One day, he meets 18 year old Yuri (Danniel Deramayo) in a bar. The young virgin strikes up a conversation with the escort who later finds out that the charming, albeit hapless lad is inflicted with an illness that, though non-infectious, might be terminal. He also meets a psychic who could foresee an individual’s future. And something numbing worries the latter. Later that night, Karlo finds Yuri in a carinderia near his pad. The two strike up a genial conversation that soon had sparks flying. And the unexpected happens in the most romantic way. Check this conversation:

Karlo: “Ikaw, nagkajowa ka na ba?”
Yuri: “Wala rin.”
Karlo: “Bakit naman?”
Yuri: “Ngayon pa lang kita nakita eh.” (and he sheepishly grins)
Karlo: “Loko loko.” (Karlo moves closer to Yuri who then quips…)
Yuri:  “Wala akong pambayad sa yo.” (Yuri whispers and smiles tentatively.)
Karlo: “Huwag kang mag alala. Tumatanggap naman ako ng utang.”
Do we foresee a happy-ever-after?

Some of the lines may be simplistic or cheesy, but the execution gives them a veneer of warmth and tenderness unusual in local homoerotic flicks. There’s no denying the inherent charm of a serendipitous romance tackled in the film.

Monti Parungao’s “The Escort”, based on Lance Collins’ story, with a no-nonsense script by Lex Bonife, took me by surprise. If you’ve been following this blog, you should be aware how much  I despise many of these gay-oriented flicks because they tend to be exploitative, dull and unimaginative. I always maintain that good films should have a universality that comes through and could be appreciated even by a straight crowd; something that’s almost rare among Philippine Pinks. This is why we hold Brillante Mendoza (who has his share of Pink ouvres) and Joselito Altarejos in high regard. They don’t dumb down their audience.

The film is short, but the exposition that follows a few days in the life of a pragmatic hustler is compelling. Sure, there’s a de rigueur shower scene, but you realize that it isn’t the raison d’etre of the narrative. And we clearly appreciate this. Too bad the film has limited screening.

Miko Pasamonte passes muster, but he isn’t disadvantaged by a borderline script. In fact, it helps him acquire a sense of legitimacy. Danniel Deramayo, a member of the “Hotmen”, does even better. He imbues his character with innocence and fragility, allowing his “first time” to come off as sweet and tender. Yup, BFF Kyle, just like a Purefoods hotdog. J  Bonife pays attention to particular details - like when he shows Karlo collecting stones because they remind him of home. I like that.

Of course there are loopholes in the narrative: when Yuri gets taken to the hospital, none of his relatives come for a visit. He’s said to get admitted 2-3 times a year. So who foots the bill? At his hospital bed, you hear the respirator working, yet Yuri is merely hooked to an oxygen nasal cannula. And what seizure disorder has him unconscious for days? I’m sure it was mentioned, but there’s room tone distraction, thus audio is patchy. Some lines are out of sync as well.

And yes, it concludes in the same artifice as Bill Condon’s “Twilight – Breaking Dawn Part 2” – but then this validates  Karlo’s pragmatism. It was almost delectably funny. For the ninnies who only appreciate pink flicks with full frontals, they should be leaving the cinema with tongues a wagging. Pasamonte generously displays his considerable chorizo in a morning-after scene where he wakes up naked in bed. Yes, Urduja, it’s a full frontal flopping-down-the-stomach glory. Yet somehow the scene didn't seem gratuitous.



Corollary to this concern, whenever we travel abroad, we’re embarrassed by the spate of Filipino Film releases that get peddled overseas. Let's take Silom Road in Bangkok, for example: if you scour the street leading towards sleazy sois of Patpong (and even soi Cowboy), you will be amazed with their benevolent collection of Filipino Films proudly represented by the likes of “Lagpas”, etc. If these epitomize our slice of the film pie, reflecting Pinoy artistry, for foreign cineastes, then we should all troop down the gunungs of Indonesia and hide in a cave forever, debah?

Imahinasyon at ang REMAR Cinema

Matagal ko nang gustong masubukang makapanood ng gay-themed indie film sa sinehan pero di ko talaga magawa. Pero on my way home kagabi, I saw na showing pala sa REMAR cinema sa Cubao yung Indie film na "Imahinasyon". Sobra ang kaba ko habang tumatawid ng kalsada. Hindi na rin kasi ako baguhan sa mga ganitong uri ng sinehan at alam ko ang mga "kababalaghang" nangyayari sa loob.

Naaalala ko pa ang unang beses kong panonood sa ganitong uri ng sinehan. Sa isang sinehan sa Quiapo na katabi pa mismo ng simbahan. Nasa 3rdyear college ako noon at kasama ko si Paul, ang unang boyfriend ko. Since that time eh may kasama ako kaya siguro walang nangahas na lumapit. Siyempre kami ni Paul yung nagkapaan hehe. Pero di na namin tinapos ang pelikula nang mapansin naming halos lahat ng tao ay wala sa pelikula nakatuon ang pansin kundi sa paghahanap ng laman.

Kapansin-pansing napaglipasan na ng panahon ang REMAR cinema. Tinanong ko ang matandang babae sa ticket booth kung magkano ang isang ticket, pero yung guard na ang sumagot sa tanong ko. "P110.00", ang wika ng guard. Pagkaabot ng ticket ay agad akong pumasok sa loob. Agad kong napansin ang kakaibang amoy sa loob, amoy luma at mabaho na hindi ko mawari kung bakit. Pagkabukas ko ng pintuan ay agad na nagsilingunan ang mga tao sa loob, marahil ay sinisipat kung "yummy" ako. Agad akong umupo sa pinakadulo ng upuan habang halos lumukso sa kaba ang aking dibdib. Agad na umagaw ng pansin sa akin ang isang chubby na lalaki sa kabilang dulo na abalang-abala sa pagjajakol ng kanyang sandata habang pinapanood ng iba. Napansin ko rin na halos lahat ng tao sa loob ay matatandang lalaki, at waring di sila mapakali sa paglalakad sa loob ng sinehan. Agad kong kinundisyon ang aking utak na tanging panonood lamang ng pelikula ang aking pakay, at hindi ako papayag na matikman ng mga gurang na ito.

Nang magdilim ang buong sinehan ay nagsimula na ang palabas. Pinigilan ko ang aking sarili na matawa dahil hindi ko nagustuhan ang pelikula. Ang babaw ng plot, saka walang lalim sa pag-arte ang mga tampok na artista.Pero aaminin ko na cute yung bidang lalaki (yung napapagitnaan ng dalawang lalaki)

Uminog ang kwento sa paghahanap ng kasagutan ni Jeram sa katauhan ng diwatang laging laman ng kanyang mga panaginip, si Diana. Kasama ang kanyang kaibigan, binagtas nila ang masukal na kagubatan hanggang sa mapadpad sila sa bahay ng bagong kasal na magsing-irog. Si Ana, ang babae sa bahay na kanilang tinuluyan ay malaki ang pagkakahawig sa babae sa panaginip ni Jeram. Nang minsang mapag-isa sa bahay sina Jeram at Ana ay naganap ang isang mainit na pagtatalik. Batid nina Ana at Jeram na mali ang kanilang ginawa, kaya naman kinabukasan ay agad nang nagpaalam ang magkaibigan na upang bumalik na ng Maynila.

Dahil sa pagod ay napagpasyahan ng magkaibigan na matulog sa damuhan. Muli ay dinalaw si Jeram ni Diana sa kanyang panaginip. Lingid sa kaalaman ni Jeram ay may lihim na pagtingin sa kanya ang kanyang kaibigang lalaki. Dito na pumasok ang M2M sex sa pagitan ng magkaibigan. Pagkatapos nilang mailabas ang init ng kanilang katawan ay nagtapat rin si Jeram na may pagtingin rin sya sa kaibigan. (Promise tawa ako nang tawa sa part na to! Haha)

Sa kanilang pagbagtas sa masukal na gubat ay naligaw ang magkaibigan. Hanggang sa may nakasalubong silang matandang lalaki na nagsabing maligno ang mag-asawang kanilang nakasama sa loob ng ilang araw.
Nang matapos ang pelikula ay agad na akong tumayo, kahit na ang susunod na palabas ay Avengers. Di ko kasi trip magahasa dito noh! Pagkalabas ko sa pinto ay ramdam na ramdam ko ang mga titig ng mga matatandang becky na nag-aasam na makatikim ng sariwang karne.Mabilis ang aking mga hakbang hanggang sa nakarating ako ng LRT station.

Hindi na ako babalik sa sinehan na yun! Once is enough hihi.

Indie Movie 'Pikit-Mata'

“Pikit-Mata (Blind Submission)” written and directed by Ronald Carballo for Gerron Entertainment. Ferdie Lapuz, who coordinates the entry of local films sent to various international film festivals, said the programmers of Toronto International Filmfest has seen it and is very much interested in it, even praising Ronald’s direction of the film. In all fairness to the movie, it has a solid narrative and is not like the usual local sexploitation gay film that has very flimsy stories and just bank on the sex scenes.






“Pikit-Mata” stars newcomers Jay Austria (who’s from Tagbilaran and works in a call center before taking the audition for the movie) and Victor Escobar (who used to work in Resorts World) as the sons of a poor couple, Nadia Montenegro and Mike Lloren, who earn very little as ‘tahong’ vendors in Navotas. To augment their family’s income, Jay sidelines as a male prostitute, later followed by Victor. The film is titled “Pikit-Mata” because the parents turn a blind eye to what their sons do in the flesh trade.
The title also refers to the sex scenes where partners close their eyes while in the throes of sextacy. And there are many such scenes. Jay has a kind and loving lover in an elderly barber, Ernie Garcia, who did bed scenes in his heydays as a male sex symbol in the 70s, but never like this. Jay also has a bed scene with Soxy Topacio, a dirty old gay who does all sorts of perversities with him. Soxy even has his own unabashed nude scene in the movie.






Jay likewise does a love scene with Romano Vasquez, an older callboy who teaches him about their trade and turns out to also have the hots for him. But his most shocking sex scene is with RS Francisco, a gay customer who asks Jay to do a threesome with him and another partner. This is also one of the most moving moments in the entire film but we can’t reveal the details since it’ll surely spoil your viewing pleasure. For this scene alone, we’re sure foreign audiences will find the movie far different than any other gay film they’ve seen before.

Victor, in turn, has a hot love scene with Ross Uy, his Kuya’s best friend, and with his classmate, Juancho Revilla who’s a former Ginoong Sta. Cruz, Laguna. With the latter, he figures in a deadly love triangle with another gay classmate that ends up in a fatal shooting in a mall, reminiscent of what happened to SM Pampanga. Victor is also shown being abused by a hunky closet gay cop, Dax Alejandro.





The film, that can definitely stand some trimming to quicken its pacing, takes a tragic turn when someone is diagnosed to have a terminal disease. Well photographed and with shot in fresh locations, the film will certainly do well in gay markets abroad, which we believe is their actual target. For his next movie, Ronald and Gerron Entertainment are now shooting “Kalam (Hunger)”, which is not a gay film but a socially relevant one about hunger among the poor, also starring new actors.

Richard at Eugene, romantic ang halikan!

Apat na artistang babae ang makakaulaya­w ni Richard Gutierre­z sa Valentine movi­e niyang My Valentine Girls mula sa Regal at GMA Films. Tatlong seksi na sina

Rhian Ramos, Lovi Poe at Solenn Heussaff at ang magaling, pero hindi kagandahang si Eugene Domingo. Kasama rin ang child wonder na si Jillian Ward.

Anyway, inumag­a raw sa shooting si Richard kaya late siyang dumating sa
press­­con nila, na sinamahan din ng konting pa-raffle ng cash.

Since apat ang kapareha niya ngayon sa MVG, ano ang puwede niyang maging deksripsyon sa kanila?
“Ang hirap naman nu’n! Si Lovi? Kagabi magkasama kami sa shooting hanggang more or less 5 a.m.

First time ko to work with her. Alam naman nating magaling na artista si Lovi and she’s very hot right now! It’s not a secret! We all know that and I am very excited to work with her and I think we were able to nail a couple of good scenes last night!

“With Solenn naman, it’s her first time ever to be in front of the camera and act. So I’m so excited to work with her. She’s a bit nervous in the beginning but I assured her that everything’s gonna be fine.

“I think direk Andoy Ranay can attest to this as a beginner, she’s doing good! She’s very natural!” pahayag ni Richard.

Kumusta naman ang kissing scene nila ni Solenn?

“Wala pa!” sagot niya.

Eh, si Rhian?

“Si Rhian naman. First show niya ako ang kasama niya sa Captain Barbell and I can say that she has matured as an actress. Tala­gang very passionate na siya sa acting and she’s very good also. Very natural. Kumbaga, kompor­table na kami sa isa’t isa at kung ano ang sabihin ng director namin, very comfortable kami.

“I think we have a good working relationship ni Rhian kasi matagal na kaming magkasama.

“Si Jillian naman, ngayon lang ako naka-experience ng batang tulad niya. Kakaiba siya. Very talented, hyper at kahit na anong oras sa shooting, very energetic si Jillian.

“I think nagsu-sugar loading siya bago mag-take. Nonstop kasi ang energy niya. Natuwa ako minsan sa kanyang dramati­c scene. Rehearsal pa lang umiiyak na! Tapos nang shot na, pero hindi pa siya kita, tanong nang tanong kung kita na siya sa camera at iiyak na! Sabi ko, hindi pa.

“Finally, nu’ng shot na niya, ang galing! Mahusay sa dramatic scenes! Take one
siya! After niya umiyak, balik sa hyper mode si Jillian. Hindi siya mahirap turuan. Hindi siya nagrereklamo,” kuwento ni Chard.

At ano naman ang masasabi niya sa kakaiba niyang leading lady na si Eugene?

“Speaking of positive energy, ‘yon ang dinadala ni Miss Uge sa ating lahat! Sa set namin, walang dull moment. It’s great working with her! She’s fun.

“Napakahusay ni Miss Uge talaga. Sinasabi niya na komedyante ako and I think, she brings out the best in me! Because of her kaya lumalabas ang pagiging

komedyante ko. ‘Yung comic side ko,” tugon ng Valentine Box-office King.

“Thank you, leading man! You also bring out the leading lady in me!” sagot naman ni Uge.

Eh, ginawa raw niyang tunay na babae si Uge sa kanilang kissing scene, huh! Pinaka-romantic daw ang kissin­g scene nila! Girl na girl daw ang feeling ni Eugene!

“Siyempre naman!” sambit ni Chard.

Wala ba siyang choice kaya nakipaghalikan siya kay Uge?

“Sa istorya, wala talagang choice, JN!”sey ng komedyana.

“‘Yun kasi ang premise sa story! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ms. Uge I think has established herself as one of the best comedians in this generation. What­ever she has achieved, I think, she deserves everything!” deklara pa rin ni Richard.
