    No Other Land

    ★★★★★

    Should we be around to witness the fall of Israel--and implicitly, of the US--in our lifetime, we should consider ourselves extremely fortunate.

    The Prince of Egypt: The Musical

    Terrible musical given just the most awful film capture that saps the theatricality out of it; you can barely get a sense of how this thing was really like onstage.

    For the record, I love the 1998 original.

    He Who Is Without Sin

    Alternate title: The Sexual Exploitation of 2020 Twink Icon Elijah Canlas and One Enzo Pineda, Giving Off Steven Yeun in Burning Vibes.

    Seriously though, I enjoyed Pineda's performance A LOT--maybe "enjoy" isn't the best word, but he was really the only element that kept me going. On the other hand, this script--and how it was transposed onscreen--well, where to begin? Maybe I should post this on Facebook for fun so Mr. Laxamana can come after me.

    A Rustling of Leaves: Inside the Philippine Revolution

    ★★★★★

    Younger, browner, and less rotund Bato already being a proud butcher for the government will be hard to beat for cameo of the year for me. Made in the immediate aftermath of the fall of the Marcoses, but watching this in 2020 only confirms the Philippines is still that same mess of a country as in 1988--only with a different, more powerful and histrionic Bato.
