ang darling kong aswang

4 . ang darling kong aswang ( 2009 ) . vic sotto comedy . ‘nuff said . i’m passing on this one .
selected as 2nd best picture of the festival is star cinema’s “i love you , goodbye” and following behind as 3rd best is “ang darling kong aswang . ”
this year , the comedian - host is in contention again with ang darling kong aswang . this early , many are already saying that it will grab the top spot at the tills when it opens on dec . 25 .

it’s also worth mentioning that tony’s apt entertainment merged this time with vic’s m - zet tv productions and orly ilacad’s octoarts films in bringing a must - see christmas presentation for the family . with three of the country’s top film outfits collaborating for the grand horror - fantasy - comedy , there’s really no reason why ang darling kong aswang won’t be a blockbuster .
victor then will face the leader of the aswang clan to save his beloved elisa .
like his previous mmff entries , vic’s latest potboiler is a certified winner when it comes to budget , casting , visual effects and storyline . for vic and his team , they are ready to give anything for the satisfaction of the viewers . for the last seven years , the comedian has been able to create a huge cult following in the mmff and is bent on continuing his winning streak this 2009 . for one , ang darling kong aswang possesses all the elements of a potential hit .
corazon : possibly the neatest , freshest , most hygienic aswang in the history of ever .
the release of tiktik : the aswang chronicles , along with a review by jessica zafra , made me think what my favorite ( and not - so - favorite ) aswang movies are . being a horror fanatic , i’ve always enjoyed aswang cinema and had not realized i’d watched so many across the years .
wendell : bringing sexy to the beast . ( what , only female aswang can be sexy ? )
these numbers confirm “ang panday” as the official top - grosser of the film festival and “wapakman” the box - office flop that it was earlier blogged about .
6 . corazon : ang unang aswang ( 2012 ) . directed by richard somes ( lihim , yanggaw ) , this film earned mixed reviews around plot and production values . i’m intrigued enough to plan on watching it ( given that somes helmed two of my other favorite aswang movies ) , but it has one major point against it : it’s set post - wwii , implying that the aswang has 20th century origins and ignoring its folkloric roots from pre - hispanic times . we’ll see if that impression is wrong when i watch it .
in these lists , i included the manananggal because , although i think them slightly distinct if not altogether different , many consider them under the “aswang” category . besides , i’m not sure i could come up with enough manananggal movies separate from aswang movies , hee .
aswang - dering : films unseen . let me begin with aswang movies that i’ve never seen . some of these i still want to watch , though at least one of these i’m sure i won’t bother with . in a few of them , i’ve read up on the plot ( thanks , internet ) and some reviews .
) who turns out to be an aswang . but even so , victor love elisa so much that he accepted who she is and even live with her as his second wife .
to begin with , the love story between an aswang and a mortal is interesting . their funny and breathtaking adventures are sure to tickle audiences . then , there’s the exciting fight and suspenseful chase scenes among the aswang and mortals which are guaranteed to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats . here’s where the state - of - the - art visual effects come in .
laurel was discovered by star magic ' s big boss mr . m ( johnny manahan ) in a play of repertory philippines . luckily , she was given a break to be part of ang tv 2 , then she played as ina raymundo ' s daughter in pangako sa ‘yo .
3 . sa piling ng aswang ( 1999 ) . i missed this maricel soriano movie when it first came out . it also stars gina alajar , gardo versoza , a very fetching young cogie domingo , and manilyn reynes . wow , manilyn sure loves being in aswang movies , doesn’t she ? that’s why i love her . this being a peque gallaga and lore reyes film ( the tandem that brought us so many good horror films , including several aswang features ) , it’s a must that i see this . i recently saw it posted online and will soon take the time to view .
awe - swang : favorite frights . my top ten aswang movies , in a semblance of order from good to best ( but ranking may change occasionally depending on my mood ) , are as follows .
early warning : zhang yimou – whose ju dou ( 1990 ) , raise the red lantern ( 1991 ) , and hero ( 2002 ) were shortlisted for the best foreign language film academy award – will be the recipient of the 2010 asian film awards ' lifetime achievement honor . the presentation will take place at the hong kong film festival next march .
3 . emergency , srr x ( 2008 ) . this preceded patient x by a year and had a similar premise : aswang woman in a hospital , aswang husband to the rescue , hospital siege . however , it suffered because of jan lapus’ misplaced comedy , poor production values , and the unnecessary human love sub - plot . it’s a shame because mylene dizon is one of our best character actresses whose talent was wasted here , and i’ve always liked wendell ramos .
4 . aswang ( 2011 ) . again not to be confused with the 1992 alma moreno film ( they just get creative with titles , don’t they ? ) , i did think it was a remake of the alma movie at the start : family massacre leaves children as witnesses on the run who end up in a town besieged by aswang . after that , it went downhill as a gumbo of various movies . aside from alma’s movie , others vaguely or blatantly ripped off were vampira , srr ii’s aswang , and the deplorable twilight series . it doesn’t help that the irritating lovi poe is the lead . i could watch paulo avelino over and over , but he wasn’t sufficient to keep this thing alive . the climax was a non - climax , and who didn’t see the ending coming ?
“ ang panday ” ( the swordsmith ) was adjudged best picture in the ongoing metro manila film festival ( mmff ) and bested 6 other movies by cornering a majority of the awards handed out last night at the smx convention center . the gma films / imus productions venture , which garnered 7 trophies in total , is also gunning to be the top grosser in terms of box - office earnings .
* the other two , non - aswang - themed srr episodes of the new millennium that i think are good are srr 8’s lrt ( despite a stilted ending ) and srr x’s nieves ( which was a deliberately - funny pinoy take on the awesome buffy the vampire slayer ) .
zhang yimou on the set of a woman , a gun and a noodle shop a . k . a . a simple noodle story . best known for his lush collaborations with gong li ( raise the red lantern , shanghai triad , curse of the golden flower ) , zhang yimou has been announced as the recipient of the asian film awards ' lifetime achievement honor , to be presented at the 2010 hong kong film festival in march .
though they belong to different “races , ” ida tells eliza that it’s not bad to fall in love with victor for it might free her from the curse of being an aswang because there’s a legend that only the purest of love can turn a “creature of the night” into a normal human being .
9 . punerarya , srr 12 ( 2010 ) . as mentioned above , recent srr movies have been mediocre , but they produce an occasional gem . there are probably only four really good episodes since 2005 , two of which are aswang - themed * . this 2010 episode is one of those two . not your typical aswang story , it had sid lucero turning in a scary yet nuanced performance . carla abellana and the rest of the cast also shone , including mart escudero in a short role . i did not see that twist ending coming , but that’s testament to a well - made film that still had unpredictable surprises .
through the prodding of tom and gerry , victor eventually courts eliza and they became sweethearts . his daughters also came to like her in the long run . but at one point , eliza reveals to victor her true identity : that she’s an aswang . she asks him if he will still love her despite her dark secret .
1 . aswang ( 1994 ) . not to be confused with the 1992 alma moreno film , this is actually an american production of the b - movie kind . it is set in the usa as well . reviews range from “awesome cult classic” to “awful trash , ” so i cannot gauge if i want to attempt looking for it or not .
2 . yaya , srr 8 ( 2006 ) . aside from re - using the title of an srr classic ( from srr iii ) , this story about a yaya after her young charge is basically a rip - off of said episode , except it’s an aswang instead of a spirit . what also ruined this are the un - scary costumes . not even iza calzado , of whom i am a huge fan , and tj trinidad , an underrated great actor , can save this drek .
aswangit : the hall of shame . here are , in my opinion , some of the fails of the aswang genre . perhaps “shame” might be too strong a word ; most aren’t too good , but they’re not downright despicable . it’s interesting that most of them are episodes from the “shake , rattle , and roll” ( srr ) trilogy series , which has generally been mediocre since its 2000s comeback except for a random episode here and there ( yet i still watch it year in , year out – go figure ) .

manila , philippines - vic sotto’s box - office record in the annual metro manila film festival ( mmff ) is phenomenal . from 2002 to 2008 , his entries are consistently proclaimed festival top grosser . who would ever forget lastikman , fantastik man , the enteng kabisote series and last year’s iskul bukol ( 20 years after ) ? these films catapulted vic as the undisputed box - office king of mmff .
apart from vic’s box - office charisma , there’s his tried - and - tested partnership with director tony reyes . the box - office director handled all vic’s previous mmff entries .
another come - on is vic’s team - up with cristine reyes . it’s a new combination so the public will get curious how they’ll fare on screen . cristine is definitely one of the hottest among the younger crop of actresses . her presence in the movie can’t be ignored . and what’s good is that vic believes she has a long way to go in the business considering the dedication and professionalism she shows towards her craft .
for cristine , it’s a big honor to be vic’s leading lady in the movie . she knows that she’s with a winning team . not all new actresses have the chance to get paired with an icon like vic so she’s thankful to land the role of the female lead . she’s aware that many young actresses wish to be in her shoes .
playing support to vic and cristine are jean garcia , agot isidro , jackie rice , denise laurel , empress schuck , rafael rosell and gian sotto .
richie d’ horsie , dante rivero , allan k , joonee gamboa , luz fernandez , jenny miller , wally bayola , tita swarding , mosang , shalala , mika dela cruz and barbie forteza are also part of the cast .
joey de leon , pia guanio , oyo sotto and jacky woo will appear in cameo roles .

cinemalaya 2018 : everything you need to know about this year ' s film festiva . . .
here is the final update of box - office grosses for the metro manila film festival ( mmff ) which ended last january 7 , 2010 . combined , the 7 movies earned a total of p437 . 6 million , a dip from the 2008 edition which accumulated an all - time high of p450 million .
nothing much has changed in terms of rankings , except for ‘mano po 6’ inching its way one slot higher to 5th . the top 3 has remained as such and manny pacquiao’s ‘wapakman’ continues to miserably languish in the 7th and last place . here are the updated box - office grosses of the metro manila filmfest entries as of december 31 , 2009 :
the 7 movies have up until thursday , january 7 , to dominate the multiplexes nationwide . by friday , its back to regular programming when ‘sherlock holmes’ and the ‘squeakquel’ of alvin and the chipmunks finally open .
early official figures for the box - office performance of all 7 movies in the metro manila filmfest ( mmff ) have started pouring in and it looks like a neck - to - neck battle among fantasy - driven flicks , except for manny pacquiao’s ‘wapakman’ that is .
manny pacquiao ' s
wapakman
is doing poorly at the tills and painfully crawling to make at least a near - decent share of the box - office grosses . what went wrong ?
the world - famous filipino boxer failed to sustain the kind of crowds watching his ring bouts at the multiplexes . perhaps , his rumored affair with starlet krista ranillo ( who plays a villain role in the same movie ) is adversely affecting its performance . anyways , here are the december 25 grosses of the mmff movies , as provided by festival organizers :
the filmfest awards night will be held tomorrow night and if the acting trophies land on mano po’s lap , the movie can still zoom past its current box - office placement . and that means , ‘wapakman’ will still remain the cellar - dweller in this year’s edition , given the significantly wide lead of the 6 other entries .
i took the liberty of making one full blog showing the trailers of all 7 movies entered in the metro manila film festival 2009 so that you can take a glimpse on what’s in store for moviegoers in the philippines during the long holiday break .
check them out and see what looks promising enough to be seen in the multiplexes .
so which film have you decided to watch during the festival ? let’s support the local movie industry by going for at least one or more of the 7 entries . i hope i can squeeze the time for all .
here are the remaining filipino movies participating in the annual metro manila film festival ( mmff ) which runs from december 25 , 2009 to january 7 , 2010 – comparatively longer than previous years’ editions .
i always have to keep in mind that the mmff is more focused on generating success at the box - office than short - listing movies for competition in filmfests abroad . hence , i don’t expect the highest of praises from critics . nonetheless , entertainment is the key word . so i want movies that truly entertain , even if for only 2 hours .
synopsis . there are two kinds of aswangs : the white and black aswangs . the white ones are merely mischievous while their black counterparts eat human flesh .
the black aswangs in isla negra are led by the wicked barang ( jean garcia ) and in her group are nieces alfa ( jackie rice ) , beta ( denise laurel ) and keka ( empress schuck ) , nephew joaquin ( rafael rosell ) and the cruel warlock gino ( gian sotto ) . ida ( agot isidro ) and her lovely daughter eliza ( cristine reyes ) are part of them too but they are reluctant to eat human flesh and without barang’s knowledge , they feed upon animals .
when joaquin pressures eliza to marry him , ida decides to escape and goes to the city . they sought shelter and protection in ida’s cousin banong . it is in banong’s community where eliza meets victor ( vic sotto ) and there was instant attraction between the two of them .
victor is a call center manager who is already a widower . he has two adorable daughters , darlene ( barbie forteza ) and angel ( mika dela cruz ) . they live with victor’s father tata do ( dante rivero ) who is the barangay captain of the place , nana simang ( luz fernandez ) , the housekeeper and tom ( richie d’ horsie ) , victor’s cousin who also works in the call center as a janitor . gerry ( wally bayola ) , the barangay aide is a fixture in the house as well .
many girls in the workplace are attracted to victor but he keeps distance from them . he says his loves are his two daughters . but when he accidentally met eliza , things are bound to change .
find out when this fantaserye opens on christmas day on december 25 , 2009 .
every year , regal films has made it a tradition to scare families with their horror franchise shake , rattle and roll . this 2009 , moviegoers will be able to watch the 11th installment of srr for the annual metro manila film festival .
also known by its initials srr , this three - part movie takes inspiration from filipino mythology to shock and entertain viewers at the same time .
the episode “lamang lupa” features young stars jennica garcia , rayver cruz , iya villania , mart escudero , bangs garcia and twin brothers dominic and felix roco .
the story focuses on the lamang lupa of philippine mythology . a group of friends go camping only to find themselves relentlessly pursued by ferocious creatures who are not dwarves but lamang lupa . unknown to the barkada , they “disturbed” the creatures’ sacred area and they will pay the price for their mistake . the director for this episode is jessel monteverde .
“diablo” stars maja salvador and mark anthony fernandez , two of the finest performers of their generation . directed by rico gutierrez , the episode revolves around claire , a young doctor - intern at a provincial hospital who is haunted by demonic visions after she encounters a female patient suspected of carrying a deadly flu virus . claire’s aunt brings her to fr . ronnie who turns out be claire’s ex - boyfriend . old flames are rekindled as fr . ronnie and claire battle the demons .
completing this “horror - fest” is the “ukay - ukay” story with ruffa gutierrez and zoren legaspi as a would - be couple kayla and harold whose wedding plans are deterred by a possessed vintage gown . when it falls into their hands , heavy breathing , nightmares , dragging footsteps and an apparition of a headless bride start happening . instead of planning a wedding , kayla must now fight against the evil spirits . megan young is also cast in this episode . writer - turned - director don michael perez is at the helm .
“srr 11 is still the same scare and excitement that people have grown to love all these years , even more , ” says producer roselle monteverde - teo . “this year , we’re tackling horror concepts that are very unique to our culture in more thought - provoking and exciting ways . ”
synopsis . juan ( played by dolphy ) is a senior citizen who lives in a nursing home in the united states . in his younger days , he was a vaudeville performer who was part of a comedy duo called wan and tu . the younger version of wan ( dolphy ) is portrayed by his son epy quizon while tu is portrayed by his other son , vandolph .
to entertain himself and ease the loneliness , juan watches wowowee on the filipino channel ( tfc ) . his enthusiasm for the show rubs on his friends in the nursing home , and they too , turn into “wowowee” converts – much to the chargin of the strict son of juan who runs the nursing home .

by allancarreon on nov . 12 , 2012 , under film & tv , travel & culture
2 . manananggal in manila ( 1997 ) . i barely recall this alma concepcion starrer , but it has eric fructuoso and poppo lontoc . therefore , i must find a copy .
5 . surviving evil ( 2009 ) . another american production , this time with billy zane and our own joel torre in the mix . set in the philippines , a fictional tv crew film a survival special in the jungles and get more than they bargained for . i recently obtained a copy but haven’t had a chance to watch it .
still , out of these four , i’d watch three of the films again even if they’re not very good – if only for miguel rodriguez , wendell ramos , and paulo avelino .
1 . madre , srr iv ( 1992 ) . miguel rodriguez with aiko melendez as manananggals had promise since male manananggal specimens are rarely depicted . then a young , sorta - straight ic mendoza defeated them with hot effin’ sauce . this idiotic feat won’t be topped for another twenty years when , in 2012’s tiktik , a kid gets armed with boy bawang .
10 . impaktita ( 1989 ) . i barely recall seeing this and had to research its plot , but i clearly remember how terrified i was of this movie . for a movie i hardly recall to elicit a memory of fear – that solidifies a position on my list . i remember one horrifying image : that of a taxi driver , mauled and all bloody in his cab , a growing crowd of curious onlookers around . jean garcia is the title monster , and both aga muhlach and richard gomez were apparently in this movie . also , for 1989 , the transformation effects were fairly seamless .

zhang , 58 , has been making movies since the late 1980s . his remarkable first film , the 1987 period drama red sorghum , starred gong li , with whom the director was associated off - screen as well .
among zhang ' s best - known features are the story of qiu ju ( 1992 ) , to live ( 1994 ) , shanghai triad ( 1995 ) , and curse of the golden flower ( 2006 ) , all starring gong ; in addition to the epic house of flying daggers ( 2004 ) , starring andy lau and ziyi zhang .
zhang yimou ' s latest , a woman , a gun and a noodle shop ( a . k . a . the simple noodle story ) , is a remake of joel and ethan coen ' s violent crime thriller blood simple . the film has become a major box office hit in china . ( update : $ 38 million after six weeks . )
john woo and lance henriksen on the set of the 1993 action thriller hard target , starring jean - claude van damme . in a career spanning more than four decades , john woo – the recently announced recipient of the 2010 venice film festival ' s lifetime achievement golden lion – has directed more than 30 features , chiefly in the action genre . notable examples include a better tomorrow , bullet in the head , and the tom cruise international blockbuster mission : impossible ii .

the release adds that “the acknowledgment recognizes a filmmaker who in recent decades , with his revolutionary conception of staging and editing , has renewed action movies to the core , introducing an extreme stylization ( close to visual art ) ” both in asia and in hollywood .
that extremely stylized “visual art” – slow motion , close - ups , quick cuts , revolting violence – can be appreciated in varying degrees of sadism in thrillers such as a better tomorrow ( 1987 ) , the killer ( 1989 ) , bullet in the head ( 1990 ) , hard boiled ( 1991 ) , broken arrow ( 1996 ) , face / off ( 1997 ) , and the two - part epic war drama red cliff ( 2008 / 2009 ) – a huge blockbuster in east asia , outgrossing james cameron ' s titanic in mainland china .

and in 2007 , he was the producer of alexi tan ' s debut feature blood brothers , the 64th festival ' s closing - night film . daniel wu , liu ye , and shu qi starred in this 1930s shanghai - set gangster drama inspired by bullet in the head .
woo is currently in the dongyang area ' s hengdian world studios , working with su chao - pin on reign of assassins , a ming dynasty - set , martial - arts actioner starring crouching tiger hidden dragon actress michelle yeoh .

isshin inudô ' s zero focus , a mystery drama set in 1950s japan . in this remake of yoshitaro nomura ' s 1961 film , itself based on seicho matsumoto ' s novel , a newly married woman ( best actress nominee ryôko hirosue ) goes on a search for her missing husband .

lost horizon is a 1973 american musical film directed by charles jarrott and starring peter finch , john gielgud , liv ullmann , michael york , sally kellerman , bobby van , george kennedy , olivia hussey , james shigeta and charles boyer .

the film is a remake of frank capra 's film of the same name , with a screenplay by larry kramer .

both the 1937 version and this one adapted their story from james hilton 's novel lost horizon .

lost horizon was not a critical or commercial success at the time of release , nor has its reputation improved since .

it was selected for inclusion in the book the fifty worst films of all time , co-written by critic michael medved , and is listed in golden raspberry award founder john wilson 's book the official razzie movie guide as one of the 100 most enjoyably bad movies ever made .

this was the final film produced by ross hunter .

one fact helps to explain why the 1973 film got so much criticism : between 1937 and 1973 the standard of political correctness had changed . what was business - as - usual in the thirties was unacceptable in the years after the 1960s .

savaged by the critics in 1973 , this version of lost horizon — a musical , no less ! — was considered by some to be one of the worst films of all time , and everyone connected to the project tried to disown it . yet over the years , people have discovered and loved this film despite being told they should hate it .
the 1973 version starred peter finch , who would go on to win an oscar in network . in lost horizon , he is world - weary and reflective . it ' s not a flashy performance by any means and seems almost lethargic at times , but it fits the situation perfectly .
only those with a young heart can enjoy the 1973 version of lost horizon . that is why people either love or hate the movie . the ironic part is that the transformation of the hearts of the visitors to shangri - la from hardened to young is the essence of the movie .
the musical remake of ' lost horizon ' has been almost uniformly panned over the years and has long been unavailable on home video . so is it really that bad ?

it’s not my intention to turn this blog into a celebration of the worst that cinema has to offer ( although there are those who would say i already have ) , but the recent dvd release of the notorious 1973 mega - flop , lost horizon , is an event of considerable note . a cause for celebration , if you will , for both lovers of entertainingly bad cinema ( yours truly ) , and those who have come to regard lost horizon as an underappreciated classic .
famous novels - ( unabridged ) lost horizon , knight without armour , goodbye , mr . chips , random harvest , the story of dr wassell , & so well remembered by james hilton
( 1973 ) , another critically savaged musical based on a novel previously adapted in highly regarded non - musical versions . by my reckoning
studio synopsis : celebrate the 80th anniversary of the lavishly produced frank capra classic , lost horizon , based on the best - selling novel by james hilton . ronald colman and jane wyatt star in this unique journey to the enchanted paradise of shangri - la , where time stands still . now restored in 4k and featuring an additional minute of rarely seen footage long missing from the film , lost horizon is a sumptuous experience for lifelong fans and newcomers alike .
the conjunction of truth and lies hardly seems accidental in a film that sets out to recall a kind of filmmaking now lost , but succeeds only in denting pleasant memories .

although i am very fond of lost horizon and have seen it many times , i don ' t number myself among those who actually think it’s a good film . i like it because of the nostalgia it invokes ( the pro - lost horizon cult is comprised chiefly of individuals who saw it as children . bless their undiscerning little hearts ) ; my love of burt bacharach ; and because i have a decided taste for cheese . lost horizon is a banquet of tacky aesthetics , risible dialog , awkward performances , wince - inducing lyrics , and moldy choreography . and i wouldn ' t have it any other way . movies this wrong - headed are just too much fun .
lost horizon ( 1937 ) is a timeless , widely - acclaimed classic - a romantic fantasy and science - fiction adventure film , produced and directed by frank capra for columbia pictures . the film was faithfully adapted by screenwriter robert riskin from james hilton ' s best - selling 1933 novel of the same name . the story was inspired by real - life mountaineer george leigh - mallory , who was lost during a fatal climb of mount everest in 1924 .
now , for the first time since that calamitous opening week in 1973 , the curious and devout alike can witness lost horizon in all its fully restored , digitally enhanced , wide - screen splendor , with all but one of its five deleted musical numbers reinstated ( a brief sally kellerman / george kennedy reprise of
living together , growing together
is still mia ) . sure , the recovery of lost footage from lost horizon is a bit like a bizarro world reenactment of the restorations of stroheim ' s greed or lang ' s metropolis ; but it’s rare for a studio to treat one of its money - losing embarrassments with such respect .
please show lost horizon ( 1972 ) . it ' s been about 12 years since i last saw it . enjoy the music of burt bacharach . like singing along with the actors . . . .
but besides that , i think the biggest problem was that 1973 was just a bad time for a musical with the sort of message that “lost horizon” was putting forth : the world is terrible and the only good place is somewhere you can never reach ! remember , we’re talking about the cynical days of watergate and a new found distrust in how government worked , maybe for the first time in us history by the masses . on that point alone , “lost horizon” was working against itself before the cameras even started rolling . that’s an element that can’t be underestimated .
lost horizon , james hilton’s paean to peace and spiritual life everlasting in a magical land called shangri - la , was first adapted to film by frank capra in 1937 . thirty - five years later , mor pop sensations burt bacharach and hal david were hired by producer ross hunter to score this big - budget , semi all - star , musical remake . alas , lost horizon fell prey to the prevailing twisted logic of the day which held that what modern musicals needed most was dramatic talent , so , columbia pictures , not having learned its lesson from camelot ( whose revamped set serves a shangri - la’s lamasery ) , populated lost horizon with a cast of dramatic actors who could neither sing nor dance .
just one asian actor was employed in a major role , yet that was an improvement over the 1937 film . in 1937 few cared — except perhaps asians who might have liked an opportunity in the film industry . in 1973 , critics were offended that any non - asian actor was cast to play an asian .
sony pictures home entertainment has officially announced that it will release on blu - ray director frank capra ' s film lost horizon ( 1937 ) , starring edward everett horton , jane wyatt , sam jaffe , thomas mitchell , and ronald colman . the release will be available for purchase on october 3 .
in 2016 , the film was selected for inclusion in the united states national film registry by the library of congress as being
culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant .
originally released in 1937 , the film also nominated for seven academy awards .
yet against all odds , lost horizon is finally arriving on dvd on october 4 courtesy of columbia pictures’ mod ( made on demand ) dvd - r program . but this won’t be a bare - bones release ; the studio is promising that it will be “packed with extras” and fully remastered ; in other words , the kind of treatment usually reserved for a classic , cult or otherwise . if the time hasn’t come and likely won’t for lost horizon to be reappraised as a cinematic masterpiece , we can still appreciate it without irony for its one unmistakably terrific element : its music by burt bacharach . today’s friday feature celebrates the music of lost horizon .

wrong . i found the 1937 version of lost horizon to be inferior on every point of comparison . the story is the same — even much of the dialog is the same — but the earlier film suffers from worse production values on every measure . this amazed me . how could the classic be worse than the
turkey
?
the saga of lost horizon began in 1933 with james hilton’s novel , imagining an idyllic shangri - la tucked away in a tibetan valley where illness , age and poverty are unknown . one year later , after the success of hilton’s goodbye , mr . chips , readers discovered lost horizon , and it became a bestseller . in 1937 , frank capra adapted it into a well - regarded film version starring ronald colman , which won two academy awards out of seven nominations , and in 1939 the paperback edition of the original hilton novel became pocket book no . 1 . both the novel and capra’s film can be interpreted as explicitly anti - war ; when a 1942 re - release of the film cut one of colman’s speeches in which he mocked war , capra balked .

by 1973 , the intelligentsia ' s views on imperialism and relations between the races had changed . famed new yorker critic pauline kael put it this way : shrangli - la was
we were told not to like the movie by the critics . they lambasted the picture with a preconceived grudge against ross hunter ( even pauline kael of the new yorker began her review with a repulsed reaction to ross hunter on a tv talk show , calling him mr . bland ) . once the negativity foisted upon us by the press thankfully subsided , we were left with the film–which is pretty wonderful . campy , yes , silly , maybe , but meticulously designed and crafted for commercial enjoyment . viva 1973’s “lost horizon” !

the film is often cited as a case of movie - making excess . after the record - breaking success of the sound of music in the early 1960s , hollywood had been trying to repeat the formula for years , hoping lightning would strike again . by 1973 , many thought the movie musical was dead , especially as members of the 1960s youth movement piled contempt on their parents ' music . that didn ' t stop producer ross hunter from trying with lost horizon . many , in retrospect , wondered what he was thinking .
lost horizon ‘s march 1973 premiere was such a big deal in hollywood that governor ronald reagan was persuaded to return to his roots to attend , and the picture was selected for a royal command performance in the united kingdom . but it was quickly savaged by the critical community , with pauline kael and judith crist among its many vocal detractors . its camp excesses couldn’t help but leave most cold , but it inspired bette midler’s oft - quoted quip , “i never miss a liv ullmann musical ! ” john simon , the famously acidic critic of both stage and screen , commented that lost horizon “must have arrived in garbage rather than in film cans . ” the folks at urltoken may have put it best , though , and most accurately : “ lost horizon is not the jaw - dropping catastrophe that many people insist it is , nor is it the camp classic that generates therapeutic cynicism for its audience . it is actually more of a sincere but inert bore , a good idea that went nowhere strictly because it lacked the imagination to fly . ”
i was in one of those rare moods to revisit a renowned cinematic turkey that i saw during its original release when i was a kid . sometimes the years are kind to such movies , and a reconsideration brings a new appreciation . there wasn’t much that i could recall about the 1973 musical remake of lost horizon . after watching it again , i realized that the trauma of seeing it the first time must have resulted in amnesia .

for decades , sony pictures refused to release the 1973 film lost horizon , despite considerable demand by the public . then , late in 2012 , the studio bowed to public pressure .

hey joe , thanks for reading and for sharing this information ! i’d also be remiss if i didn’t thank you ( however belatedly ! ) for your wonderful work on the laserdisc , which has really done such a great part in keeping the music of lost horizon alive .
this is the true diamond of the film world ! i have loved this film since the first time i saw it all those years ago . it has stayed with me throughout my life , i am 37 .
your article is quite informative . i didn’t know that there had been an earlier broadway musical version of “lost horizon” in the ’50s , for instance . in my opinion , i think that the pooh - pooh naysayers who hated hunter’s film version of “lost horizon” at the time it came out were being quite unfair . of course , it’s not the greatest film ever , but it’s not as bad as they made it out to be either . i am prejudiced about the music , however , because for me , bacharach can do no wrong . i like everything that he has written , unconditionally . i even accept his stupidly horrendous “the blob” ? that’s what kind of fan i am . i mean , come on , everything an aritist does can’t be a masterpiece ! i am a creative artist myself , and we all have hits and misses . but i do like the songs in “lost horizon . ” i have “if i could go back” in my repertoire , in fact . i am a professional singer , too , among other things .
hi clifford . now , what you wrote is exactly what i find stimulating about film discussion ! you offer insight into your personal experience of the film that illuminates for me your perspective and illustrates how terrifically personal the cinema experience can be . trust me , as a fan of 1980 ' s
xanadu
, i ' m no stranger to seeing a film i ' ve always loved dragged through the gutter online . . . but i really get a charge ( a quite a few laughs ) reading about how deeply some people hate a film that has only made me happy . the points you bring up about
lost horizon
are points well - taken , well - observed , and intelligent , and i ' m sure there are many who feel the same way . that you show some objectivity and are aware of the film ' s flaws yet still love it , speaks to what i try to call attention to in my posts : that no film is flawless , and that the enjoyment of cinema is not confined to the oscar winners and
prestige
films . if a film ( any film ) touches or inspires you . . . in my book , that is a successful film . thanks very much for sharing your opposing voice on a much - maligned film . it was actually refreshing to read a differing point of view !
hal david’s lyrics expressed a sentiment shared by many of the optimistic generation who hadn’t yet felt their ideals vanquished by the reality of vietnam and growing dissension under the white house of president richard m . nixon . david’s words were captivatingly sung by folk artist shawn phillips , signed at the time to the a & m label , and set to a haunting melody from burt bacharach that’s removed from both the exuberance of “i say a little prayer” and the soul of “walk on by . ” bacharach and david composed the song for producer ross hunter’s 1973 motion picture lost horizon , described at its release by the new york times’ vincent canby as a “big , stale marshmallow . ” canby continued to call out the film’s “surprisingly tacky…appearance , ” asserting that “the second rate auspices just about destroys everyone in the film , with the possible exceptions of [ peter ] finch , [ bobby ] van and michael york . ” and canby was one of the kinder critics . lost horizon became one of the costliest flops and most notorious disasters in film history . what happened ? where did it go wrong ?

to promote lost horizon , ross hunter—the comb - overed , leisure - suited , closeted - gay producer ( his 40 - years lifetime partner was frequent co - producer jacque mapes ) responsible for the tammy films , douglas sirk , and those rock hudson / doris day comedies—appeared in a flurry of self - congratulatory , back - slapping , print and television publicity declaring how proud he was of lost horizon , and how ( in a subtle slap in the face to the new permissiveness in films ) his musical was to be a return to the wholesome family films of yesteryear .

offends our most sacred feelings and also our artistic souls .
lost world : the high mountains all around mean that no one ever goes to shangri - la except the porters that visit once every few years .

secondary adaptation : while it ' s officially credited as an adaptation of the novel , it ' s self - evidently a musical remake of the 1937 film , including importing the canon foreigners that were added to that film with some minor changes .

for the 1973 film , the filmmakers wanted toshiro mifune , the leading actor in japan and an international star , known for roshomon , among other great films . because of scheduling conflicts , mifune couldn ' t take the role . the producers went with a backup plan , casting the great english actor sir john gielgud in heavy makeup . in the film he speaks with his familiar english accent , but chang is supposed to have been educated at oxford before returning to shangri - la .
the musical remakes of both

and
goodbye , mr . chips
might explain away why remakes of classics are usually duds . the biggest part of the problem is that several of the leads cannot sing and are terrible - - making possible decent songs sound horrible - - especially liv ullman , an usually reliable and talented actress , and peter finch . ( the same could also be said of peter o ' toole in
chips
. ) that said ,
lost horizon
does have some really delightful pieces - - especially the haunting title track which takes the place of the prologue from the original frank capra film , which is a classic , and
living together , growing together
a truly wonderful song about the strenghts of family living . so buyer beware ! there is some good stuff here , but it has a few songs that you scream ouch ! ! ! ! ! by the way , if you ae looking for an excellent film of this book / film story try the capra version .

in the end , you can ' t enjoy this film if you look at it unkindly . the most important rule of shangri - la — the only rule , it turns out , that matters — is
be kind .
looking kindly at the 1973 film lets it come to life . this was no shoddy , cynical attempt to make a quick buck by packaging buddhist sayings like fortune cookies . it was a product of many talented people working very hard and doing some fine work .

bowdlerize : one of the reasons that the film now exists in mostly complete form was due to the studio reissuing the film in periods where some elements would be considered controversial . the first re - release was in 1942 , and the anti - war elements were toned down for wwii - era audiences . 10 years later , the film was reissued again , though since it was at the height of the red scare , the studio eliminated anything that would give the illusion that the film was
pro - communist .
this “lost horizon , ” with peter finch at the head of a not‐quite‐all‐star cast , is a big , stale marshmallow , notable , perhaps , in that most of it was filmed in and around hollywood at what is reported to have been a rather large budget . money apparently doesn ' t go very far in hollywood these days , for the film , in addition to packing all of the dramatic punch of a moral re‐armament pamphlet , is surprisingly tacky in appearance .
it actually sounds to me like this needs one more rendition , and this time as a biting philosophical critique of utopianism and progressivism… even a black comedy… or , for that matter , even a black comedy musical that centers around all the logical contradictions inherent in most models of utopia . if they’ve got the sneering nerve to make a mocking musical out of the disco film xanadu , which sported one of the best soundtracks ever , then they can make another lost horizon .
let’s be honest . “lost horizon , ” the 1973 movie musical , really can’t be considered a “masterpiece , ” no matter how you spin it . it seems like it was a concept that was put together on the run and not fully fleshed out before production started , which is clearly where the trouble began . the casting was abominable , especially considering that pretty much everyone in the cast were going to sing burt bacharach songs ( challenging , even for accomplished vocalists ) . but george kennedy and peter finch as “singers ? ” there is suspending disbelief and then , there’s this !
hal david later reflected with candor , “ lost horizon was a film that just didn’t work . and the score suffered because of it , in my opinion , ” though he acknowledged , “i think we did some beautiful things for it . ‘where knowledge ends , faith begins’ is a song i always loved . ‘the world is a circle’ is becoming a little bit of a standard…but if the picture doesn’t work , nothing works . ” bacharach agreed : “there are some good songs that came out of lost horizon . ‘if i could go back’ is a pretty terrific song . ‘living together’ is okay . ‘the world is a circle’ – that’s a good one . on their own , these songs were very good , but when you saw the movie…if you have a dog picture , the songs are not gonna fly . ”
have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all where the air you breathe is soft and clean and children play in fields of green and the sound of guns doesn ' t pound in your ears ( anymore ) have you ever dreamed of a place far away from it all where the winter winds will never blow and living things have room to grow and the sound of guns doesn ' t pound in your ears anymore . many miles from yesterday before you reach tomorrow where the time is always just today there ' s a lost horizon waiting to be found . there ' s a lost horizon where the sound of guns doesn ' t pound in your ears anymore .
not to everyones taste but i thought it was very good . i wish i could get a dvd of the hal david film .
i will definitely be buying this ! for years , only the cut version was aviailable , called lost horizon of shangri - la , until finally , in 1986 , a restored version was shown theatrically , then released to dvd , with about 30 mins . added , though some of the scenes were stills , accompanied by the still existing soundtrack .
thanks clifford for reading the post and commenting on
lost horizon .
i like that you sincerely seem to enjoy a film that i love exclusively for its flaws . but isn ' t that the point behind the song
the world a circle
? taking a cue from another one of the bacharach / david songs from
lost horizon
:
different people look at life from different points of view .
the experience of film is a subjective one . there isn ' t a film made , no matter how excellent , that doesn ' t have its champions and its detractors . that ' s the way it should be . if i hold the opinion that a film is lousy or good , it ' s just that . my opinion . i don ' t insist that it ' s the only opinion or that it ' s even right . . . but i defend it as being authentically my experience of a film , and therefore not a subject for debate . if someone wants to share their opposing view , i love that . it ' s fun to learn how different audience response can be to the same film . it ' s illuminating of the moviegoing experience . but differing views isn ' t a effort to convince one another of a position taken . . . it ' s the sharing of the uniquely personal points of view of the viewers . no more , no less . when i write that the dubbed voice for liv ullman is artificial and disembodied ( which it is , to me ) i ' m not insisting that you find it to be so , i ' m expressing my opinion . you can say otherwise , but you can ' t say that i ' m wrong if i don ' t agree with you . it sounds like you enjoy
lost horizon
a lot , but in the spirit of the film ' s theme , i think it ' s totally wonderful that we live in world where some people can think this is a terrible film and some people really love it and that both opinions are ok . that feels like shangri - la to me .

hello poseidon thanks very much for reading my post . i am glad to finally chuck my old tv - taped vhs of
lost horizon
too . i can ' t wait until you post about the film on your site . there are not enough good posts about the film online and you seem to have a library of backstory and little known facts about every film you cover . sorry about the id thing , which seems unique to my site . for the record , someone told me that if you disable the
stay signed in
box on the google account page , your id comes through ( why ? i have no idea but it worked when i went to your site ) . i ' ll be keeping an eye out for your poseidon ' s underworld site .
the rest of the 1973 cast is rounded out by george kennedy , olivia hussey ( who played juliet in a famous film version of the shakespeare play ) , sally kellerman , song - and - dance man bobby van , and michael york , whose performances all hold up today . kennedy is particularly sympathetic as a former billionaire on the run , who got blamed for everything when his company tanked .
if you ' re going to criticize musicals for their artificiality , you can certainly criticize lost horizon . in the song
the world is a circle ,
there ' s a clumsy moment that still makes me shake my head : liv ullman lifts a kid in the air while he sings
whoa–oo–oo–oo…

thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment , jaime ! i ' m glad you enjoyed the post and that you are a fan of the good / bad
lost horizon
. had i seen this film as a child , i would very likely have fallen in love with it . seeing it as an adult has its pleasures , but mostly of the unintentionally comic side . and yes , i wish i had devoted more time into talking about michael york and some of the others . however , it ' s very easy to get carried away picking apart a film like this . i tried to exercise a little restraint and keep the piece under 7000 words . : - ) thanks again for sharing your own history with this film paired with
jaws
? what a double feature !
although this long - awaited dvd may be enough for connoisseurs of both lost musicals and classic pop , we’d really be in shangri - la if an expanded , complete soundtrack recording would follow . ( with the soundtrack controlled by sony music through arista , bell’s successor , and the film itself owned by columbia pictures , another sony unit , perhaps that isn’t completely implausible . bacharach’s orchestral underscore is too good to remain languishing in a vault ! are our film score label friends reading this ? hint , hint… ) and a dvd release of the television special burt bacharach in shangri - la , guest - starring bobby van , richard harris and the 5 th dimension would be welcome , too ! alas , that’s for another day and another column . in the meantime , don’t be frightened away from exploring the singular monument of cult cinema that is ross hunter’s lost horizon .
