I am never watching a movie without hearing or reading about its reviews. I never learned my lesson, which is why I end up ranting about the movie after the tail credits. To give you guys a favor, I now give you my movie shit list part 1.

Legion has become an addition to my shit list. I thought the movie has some creepy Biblical interpretation of God’s wrath, but no. It just has demonic angels, and two archangels battling over what they believe in. At first I thought it was blasphemous to interpret apocalypse in a gory and morbid kind of way, but I give the director the freewill. Even if the director sent more creepy angels to possess mankind and torture the audience, still Legion won’t make it to my A-list.

It’s possible that I am just biased because the movie contains scenes not suitable for pregnant women who love their child very much. However, even if I’m not pregnant, I would still find it crappy to characterize an old lady as a demon angel-possessed entity trying to kill a baby.

I give this movie a 1/5. 1 for choosing the perfect setting for demons angels to bombard.

The next movie in my shit list is Superbad.

Superbad is super bad. I’m not really a fan of Hill-Cera movies (except Kocked Up because it starred one of my all-time female crushes Katherine Heigl). I don’t know what’s the point in watching a movie made entirely of awfulness and booze. I’m just not into no-brainer movies anymore (that if I watch Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion for the first time today, I’d throw away its CD). I felt stupid the entire movie.

I give it a 1/5. 1 for Mclovin and his fake ID.

The Spy Next Door is in this list too.

Oh yes it’s *echo*Jackie Chan! But why would somebody make a carbon-copy of Vin Diesel’s The Pacifier? Just why? The plot and characterizations are the same but this time, instead of starring a duck, the movie starred a pig.

Yeah, it’s *echo* Jackie Chan but watching him just felt like watching Vin Diesel doing martial arts. I somehow lost respect for *echo* Jackie Chan for this.

And by the way, ducks do it better than pigs.

Fourth is The Zodiac.

The biggest irony about this movie is that it’s based on true events. How can life be so mysteriously boring? If the events were portrayed in a non-boring way, the movie would have been good.

I’m trying to recall some details about the movie but all I remember was feeling utterly bored. I wasted more than an hour figuring out who the Zodiac is.

One thing I learned from this movie is “don’t judge a movie by its poster”.

I give it a 1/5. 1 for the outstanding showcase of how the 60’s looked like.

The Mist.

Stephen King, I don’t really like you.

The Mist is another alien-meets-mankind movie. It’s creepy on the first part, because of the mist that mystifies every audience. While watching for the first time you may ask “what could be in the mist?” I just gave out the answer.

Okay, it’s an alien movie. Alien movies are supposed to be good. It’s normal for then to mutilate human bodies and squeeze their blood out, but what’s not normal is the ending. It is the worst ending written in the history of bad endings.

The Mist. A clever title with a clever poster. It is a failed attempt to make another blockbuster alien movie. Had I been curious enough, I would have skipped to the last five minutes of the movie and suited myself. That way I shoouldn’t have wasted roughly two hours.

I give it 1/5. 1 for the mist, which is supposed to be cool during the entire movie.

Enough with the part 1. I’m taking a good afternoon’s rest, which includes clearing my brain from these five crappy movies.

RIP, Johnny Delgado

Johnny Delgado was born Juan Marasigan Feleo on February 29, 1948 in Manila, Philippines.

Delgado was known for his acting prowess, both in television and film. He is a writer and a multi-awarded actor know for his usual kontrabida (villain) and father roles.

Since 1968 Delgado started acting in film, in movies like Ito Ang Digmaan (Solano Gaudite), Bawat Kanto Basagulo (Rizaldy), and Mali-Mali Meets Batangueno (Ben Feleo). His acting career began rising since then.

Delgado received awards such as Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) awards, Gawad Urian, Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), and Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) Awards.

His role in the 2000 multi-awarded film Tanging Yaman is considered one of his most unforgettable and remarkable roles (he won Best Actor at the MMFF). His TV roles in the 90’s and 2000’s have greatly influenced Philippine television viewers, by being one of the best veteran actors who portray antagonistic and father roles.

Full filmography and works at his IMDB profile.

Johnny Delgado has been battling lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes), which was initially thought to be colon cancer. He died on November 19, 2009.

Johnny Delgado has contributed a lot to the Philippine film industry, therefore making him a big loss to such industry. Personally, I find his father roles really moving. There’s something in him both as a father and an actor that makes his roles persuasive, and yes, touching. He is one of my favorite veteran actors, whom, I never thought, would leave this year.

I felt the same thing when Francis Magalona passed away in March of this year: personal loss. For me, their loss means they will never be seen again, which is rather felt for an immediate family member or a really close friend. There’s something about father images that make me utterly emotional.

I looked forward to Johnny Delgado’s new television productions (after May Bukas Pa and Mga Anghel na Walang Langit). Nonetheless, he has been to many productions which will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Johnny Delgado.
