Juday at Alfie NAGSUSUMBATAN
Time was when the “gory” (genre) became the glory of komiks novelist-turned-film director Carlo J. Caparas. Nineties saw the trend of real-life accounts of gore and mayhem translated to movies, thanks to direk Carlo who made Kris Aquino the “Massacre Queen” and a serious actress that she is.
Ngunit maraming taon ang nagdaan, namahinga ang Golden Lions movie company only to “rear” anew via TV, this time hindi na bilang mga prodyuser kundi mga henyo sa likod ng mga obra translated into teleseryes on GMA 7.
Naging maaliwalas ang kapangitan ni Bakekang, nangabuhay ang mga hayop sa katawan ni Joaquin Bordado, at ngayon, sisiluin tayo sa sapot ng kakaibang adventure ni Gagambino: Lahat ng ito ay mula sa malikhaing utak ni direk Carlo.
Si direk Carlo na yata, na noo’y hamak lamang na security guard, ang siya ngayong most secure with his heavily-guarded comics classics na nag-aakyat ng malaking pera sa kanyang kabang-yaman, despite the dormancy of his Golden Lions with wife Tita Donna Villa.
Not only can direk Carlo rest on his laurels, isama na ang kanyang trademark cap and dark glasses on which rests his continued success.

While (Kuya) Alfie Lorenzo hopes he and Judy Ann Santos will eventually patch up their differences, ewan ko lang sa parte ng aktres after bitter words have been said. This writer knows Kuya Alfie, he speaks his mind just as he speaks to the casino table para papanalunin siya.
But given the casino setting, it seems that Kuya Alfie is not the card dealer, but the player alongside Juday’s lawyer. Nasa kamay ni Juday ang baraha na magpapanalo o magpapatalo sa kanyang manager.
All of 20 years, mukhang ang pinakamalaking pagsusugal ni Kuya Alfie is taking place now kung saan ang jackpot prize does not seem to be within his reach (but he’s rich, anyway).
Umabot na kasi sa puntong isinusumbat na ni Kuya Alfie ang nakaraan nila ni Juday, na pulubi niya itong dinampot from nowhere, na inihanap niya ng apartment sa Cubao in an obscure past, na ang una nitong van ay ang manager pa ang sumagot ng downpayment, na ang only means of transport ni Juday ay jeep.
Para sa akin, let Kuya Alfie curse me to high heavens, 20 years is 20 years. Within that period, there was love and hate, adore and abhor, pero para magkaroon ng sumbatan?
For sure, napapraning si Ploning.
