...clumsy. You need two hands to work it, the touch screen is hard to read (it gets all smudgy and fingerprinty in about five minutes), and its high-level functions are so inscrutable I felt like I needed another remote just to operate it. Give me a simple, no-fuss, no-muss controller like the Home Theater Master SL-8000 any day. Now that's a universal remote I'd kill...

...this dispiriting little film about sexual gymnasts worth all the fuss? In the Philippines, yes. For most Filipinos, it's impossible to have a conversation without quoting a line from a Hollywood hit or a show tune, as if cinema were the grand sum of all the world's philosophy. Movies and politics are also melded together. Even with Estrada gone, movie stars still want to be politicians, and politicians yearn for their close up.
