Trip The Light Fantastic: Super Inday and The Golden Bibe

Super Inday and The Golden Bibe

With a movie title like that, how can you not want to watch the film or at least ask what the hell is it all about?!

I thought it was a joke when my friend Marie asked me to watch the premiere with her last night. I haven't seen a Tagalog film nor have I stepped inside Megamall's cinemas in A-G-E-S.

Me: Mars, ano klaseng title yan?? Who stars in them? Do you even know what BIBE means?!

Marie: Doesn't it mean some sort of magical object?

Me: It means EGG. The Golden EGG!

Marie: OMG!

The first thing I did when I got n the car was to grab the tickets and see who was starring in them. Aba high profile stars pala! Marian Rivera, John Lapus, Jake Cuenca (my crush), Pokwang and Mylene Dizon! Hmmmm. Official entry to the Manila Film Fest Festival 2010 too. Sige na nga.

Much to our horror, we had to walk down this long red carpet with fans on both sides all staring at us. People started cheering shortly so unless they had completely mistaken me for Pops Fernandez there must have been some stars walking behind us. True enough when I turned around there was this couple walking down. I thought it was Marian and Dingdong so I snapped a photo naman. Hindi pala. It was one of the supporting actresses. Nyek!

Right before entering the cinema, we saw these guys which I presumed were the villains in the movie.

Check out all the paparazzi going nuts inside the cinema.

That's Jake Cuenca standing up to greet the people! Turn around!! TURN AROUND!!!

Here's Marian Rivera's back. Seated next to her was loverboy Dingdong syempre.

The movie was a total of about 2 hours and maybe 15 minutes (TAGAL). I only found out after that the film was actually a remake of 1987 film starring Maricel Soriano. Anyway, it's about this probinsyana (Marian) who goes to the city to find her real mom. The Golden Bibe is actually this fallen angel (John Lapus) who, alongside a little girl tiyanak sidekick, tests Marian to see if she's worthy of becoming a superhero. Jake Cuenca is another superhero who ends up liking Marian. Mylene Dizon is the bitchy stepmom (she still looks great) and Pokwang is this maid who turns into a superhero as well.

The film is a combination of all typical Pinoy cliche scenarios--slapping of people, sobbing because of some family drama, kenkoy comedy scenes, action scenes, and kilig moments all happening one after the other. Would you believe throughout the movie people were cheering and squealing the entire time?? Whenever Marian would complete a fight scene they'd all go nuts. Or when Jake and Marian would talk and smile at each other, all the women would go wild! It was crazy! Hahaha

Here's the crowd AFTER the film. Naglabasan na ng mga banners!

SOLID! hahaha

And just like how it is on TV, the camera crew was set up outside asking people to shriek and squeal their praises! Mars and I ducked out of their way! Good lord!
