I was curious more than excited to see the movie Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles. With their ads all over the boob tube and their promotions in social networking sites, swanking their landmark use of the "green screen" for the entire movie, made me think that this must be the spark which we Filipinos have been waiting for so long… the spark that will ignite the resurgence of another golden era in Philippine Cinema.
