Artsy fartsy weekend

I'll be treating myself to an italian movie this tuesday. My friend Moises (hope I spelled his name right) asked if I'm free this tuesday (no not for a date stupid). He works at CCP as an usher and he told me that CCP will be screening an italian film this tuesday at 4 pm for free. I searched google if it's really true (I don't trust people that easy no? Hehe) and if so, where in CCP will it be held.

So I found out minutes ago that it's true. They'll be showing "I cento passi" or "One hundred Steps" at the CCP Dream Theater. So I invited my mom and my aunt to join me this tuesday. My aunt was hesitant at first because she thought it was another porn flick because she saw me watching "Amelie" and "A Very Long Engagement" (both Italian films by Jean-Pierre Jeunet), which both had *ahem*... very revealing scenes. Nonetheless, I convinced them to join me since the admission is free. Hehe. I'll be posting the details next week if my plan works.

While searching for the schedule of the screening in the net, I found out that there is this certain place in Vito Cruz called "Instituto Cervantes" is showing Spanish films (with English subtitles, of course) every Saturday at 5 pm for free! Wow. If I have a boyfriend (or a fling, or a movie buddy), I'll be there every Saturday.

I'm a sucker for art films and foreign films with english subtitles. I love seeing other countries and I'm really bored with the kind of films shown in movie houses. They show either porn films, sci-fi films (sorry, I'm not a fanatic of this genre), or Asian horror films. The themes are very cliche already and some are just a waste of my hard-earned allowance.

But there is this one film I really want to see. I guess you've seen it advertised in local channels, it's entitled "Pinoy Blonde," a digital film directed by Peque Gallaga starring Epi and Boy2 Quizon. They claim that this movie is not like any other pinoy films. Hmm... It got me curious so if I have extra money by next week, I'll watch it. I'll also tell the details after I watched it.

That's all for now. Ciao!
