The producer of this movie has publicly thanked users of BitTorrent who have distributed the movie without express permission, saying that it has lifted the profile of this product far beyond the financier's expectations.
This film is to science fiction what "Before Sunrise/Sunset" is to romantic movies. It's talky. It isn't extravagant. It has no special effects or big-name stars. However, what it has is a screenplay that is wildly interesting, engaging and full of substance. All it is is about an impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman, which becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar claims to his colleagues that he is a Cro-Magnon man who has walked the earth for 14,000 years, unable to die.
Plot Summary: After history Professor John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his startled colleagues impulsively invite themselves to his home, pressing him for an explanation. But they're shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he does not age (and therefore does not die of natural death), and must move on to create a new identity when people begin to notice he does not age. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John's fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax.

resolution
I was telling a friend recently that New Year's Resolutions are weird. Kung gusto mo naman talaga magbago, kahit kelan pwede mo gawin eh.
There are some things that have to change now.
I've never been one to successfully pull off a resolution, but I'm hoping this one works out in the long run… even if it does take me one baby step at a time…
Madrama sobra itong taon na to. Huling pagdadrama ko na to dito.
Hopefully.
