Houston In Film
I am a lover of movies; old and new, romance and adventure, documentary and historical.

Location shoots lend an aspect of realism to a movie, and boost local economies at the same time – I appreciate that. Today’s CGI and 3-D blockbusters are great, but I really enjoy when a film puts characters into a physical reality of a location shoot – even...

The Angelika offers a “Student Monday” special, where a $7.25 ticket inclues free bottomless...

Cinemalaya Cinco: Movies Travellers Should See

These films are not tied to the major productions houses so there is more creative freedom and the works can be defined as pseudo-indie. Judging from the trailers, there’s a good selection that ranges from feel-good, “Kung Dinig Sana Kita” to artsy, “Mangatyanan”. From comedy. “Last Supper No. 3” to horror, “Ang Panggahasa ni Fe”.

But the Message Sticks Indigenous Film Festival looks to change all that by bringing indigenous movies to the masses. The program will features seven world premieres of seven short films by seven new Australian directors. Amongst the talented newcomers are acclaimed actresses Deborah Mailman and Leah Purcell.
