Rakenrol (2011)

Odie and his best friend Irene are two outsiders who find a second home in the Philippine underground music scene. The two decide to form a band and put together an unlikely crew that consists of the school bully, an ex-punk-turned-barista, and a former-childstar-turned-band-manager. The film follows their misadventures as they face satanic S&M bands, samurai swindlers, narcissistic rockstars, the pretentious Philippine art community and the freakiest music video auteur ever.

Pinoy rock inside joke! If you’ve been around long enough to witness (and are aware of) the local rock scene you’d definitely get this flick. Cameos and jokes from the hay day of rock, before the demise or local Rock and Roll FM stations…

An edgy start with cuts and tunes, from the iconic to the underground. Cliche rockstars, memorable joints… and the trials and tribulations of REAL bands. A story we are all familiar with, brought to life by (writer/director) musicians Diego Castillo (Sandwich) and Quark Henares (Us-2 Evil-0).

A character film with character. It’s always great to see friends (people i work/ed with) on the big screen. (YES, i actually stepped into a theater for this one.)

TV actor Jason Abalos stars as Odie, the lovestruck hero with a passion for music.

The apple of his eye “Irene” is played by Glaiza de Castro! - who i’ve worked with (as a segment writer) in the TV prank show Laff En Roll (2010). She was absolutely stunning in this movie. Shining and capturing my gaze the entire film. She had many “looks” that reminded me of singers and renowned actresses. This girl is gonna be big!!!

The quartet is filled in by the brutish drummer Alwyn Uytingco. Shredding the guitars is Award winning actor and my former co-host Ketchup Eusebio - who never fails to entertain and bring on the laughs.

The band rubs elbows with members of a “who’s who” of local rock! The cameo list is LONG. It’s was a definite treat to see indie film masters: Jun Sabayton and Ramon Bautista rock their quirky style/characters on the big screen. And Ei! A cameo by Director extraordinaire (recovering tumblr addict) RA Rivera of Pedicab! - you can find a deleted-scene on youtube, Where he plays a radio DJ at the now debunked NU 107.5fm .

Who the hell is Jacci Rocha?!? On my… the star of the show! Literally. Diether Ocampo excellently played the douchebag of all douchebags. He embodies every rockstar asshole we love to hate, he was hilarious!

The inside scoop: This film was actually finished, and shelved for almost 3 years. Finally we get to see the fruits of labor after a long wait. Hmmm… You can sort of feel where the film got “sketchy”. Strong start with a dramatic end… somewhere along the line you can feel the film “change”. I loved the film but was not satisfied… It could have been greater.

My one bone to pick with this film would be shaky camera. Once i noticed the movement, i couldn’t let it go. It gave me a migraine…

Overall, i believe this is a MUST SEE. All biases aside, this has got a lot to offer audiences. And REMEMBER, they are musicians and NOT actors - so please be gentle with the criticisms. Kudos to everyone/good sports who were part of this socially relevant film.

“In loving memory of Filipino-Canadian film critic Alexis Tioseco.”

This film made me smile :)
