1. Trailer for Ang Nawawala
Go see Ang Nawawala at this year’s Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival on July 20 to 29 at CCP, Greenbelt, and Trinoma.
3. Mario O’Hara (April 20, 1946 - June 26, 2012)
The country suffered a big loss last Tuesday. On June 26, Mario O’Hara, award-winning actor, filmmaker, and screenwriter passed away due to complications from acute leukemia, of which he was diagnosed only this past month. O’Hara was behind such seminal films as Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang (as a screenwriter and actor), Maynila sa Mga Kuko ng Liwanag, and Ang Babae sa Breakwater (as a director).
Pay tribute to the man who was integral in the development of independent cinema at the Mario O’Hara retrospective at this year’s Cinemalaya on July 20 to 29 at CCP, Greenbelt, and Trinoma.

4. Nora Ephron (May 19, 1941 - June 26, 2012)
The loss didn’t stop with the passing of Mario O’Hara. On Wednesday, the world lost another gem in Nora Ephron. The screenwriter/director behind such iconic films as When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You’ve Got Mail passed away after fighting a losing battle with leukemia. In “I Remember Nothing”, Ephron used this list of things she won’t and will miss after she dies, to close her book.

5. Andrew Garfield confessed to Jon Stewart on the Daily Show what a pain it was to pee in the Spidey suit. He took a series of photos documenting A Day in the Life of Spider-Man while filming the movie.
"I was so frustrated certain days in that suit that I needed to do something stupid, so we just went around the Sony lot. I think there's one of me taking a s***. I mean, who wants to hear an actor complain about being Spider-Man? No one, right? But it sucks. Spandex isn't fun, spandex is not fun."
The Amazing Spider-Man is out in theaters today.
1. Trailer for Ang Nawawala
The teaser trailer for Marie Jamora’s feature-film debut Ang Nawawala, the story of Gibson Bonifacio, a young man who stopped talking at the age of ten, now at twenty, he returns home after studying abroad to find his family struggling to keep it together. Set against the backdrop of the local indie music scene, this tale of self-discovery and young love looks like a promising contender at this year's Cinemalaya, and we can't wait to see it.
Go see Ang Nawawala at this year’s Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival on July 20 to 29 at CCP, Greenbelt, and Trinoma.
2. Bee Eyes - Double Sunrise music video
Local indie darlings Bee Eyes just dropped their music video for their swoon-worthy song Double Sunrise. Directed by Steve Tirona and shot in Los Angeles, the video makes us want to quit our dayjob, move to the beach, and shack up with a dreamy surfer babe.
