MQuest Ventures brings yet another notable cinema masterpiece to the Metro Manila Film Festival with the much-anticipated action-drama Manila’s Finest. Headlined by Piolo Pascual and an ensemble cast of the finest Philippine actors today, the film promises a bold fusion of powerhouse performances, stunning cinematography, and a story that immerses viewers in the gritty yet vibrant streets of Manila.
Aside from the scares, the disturbing images, and the disgusting scenes, what makes a good horror film is when you get to root for the characters and join their intense journey of survival. This is what ‘Shake Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins’ stars Fyang Smith and JM Ibarra promise to the audience – a rollercoaster ride that will give you an adrenaline rush.
The comedy in ‘And The Breadwinner Is…’ may not be as snappy as Vice Ganda’s previous films but this is by far her best, her most emotional and Vice at her most vulnerable. The film knows the struggles it wants to show and presents it with a lot of heart and exceptional performances. A cautionary tale for families with breadwinners.
‘And The Breadwinner Is…’ is an official entry to the 50th Metro Manila Film Festival. Now showing in cinemas nationwide from Star Cinema and The IdeaFirst Company. Rated PG by the MTRCB. #AndTheBreadWinnerIs
‘Uninvited’ delivers what is promised – a suspenseful story of revenge with performances unlike anything from its cast, led by Vilma Santos. It’s not perfect, having a non-linear story makes the first half of the film a bit rocky. But nevertheless, it didn’t affect its thrilling climax.

The Kingdom’ promises a different world but still familiar and they delivered. Performance-wise, there’s no complaints on its cast. What makes the film impressive is that the country they’ve developed, while fictitious, feels authentic to the characters. It doesn’t feel half baked. I wish the mounting felt more cinematic though.
