Quid Pro Quo (2008)

Public Radio investigative reporter Isaac Knott just happens to be confined to a wheel chair. In the course of doing a story about disability wanna-be's, Isaac traverses a surreal world of fetishism and transgressive eroticism that recalls the unique perspectives of Luis Bunuel and Alfred Hitchcock. In the course of Isaac's investigation, he finds Fiona--or she finds him--and she offers him a window into a dark place that exists somewhere between reality and dreams. Her life's aspiration is to be crippled, or at least perceived as such. She's beautiful and successful, yet she longs to be physically destroyed to regain some spiritual transcendence in her life. Her complexity, along with her erotic compulsions, prove irresistible to Isaac. Isaac is drawn to Fiona's dark side because somewhere in the strata of her perversion lies an underlying truth about himself. He is confined to a wheelchair because of an accident. What can he possibly learn about himself from Fiona's desire to be like him? The answer of course is everything.

Ikaw ang Pangarap
(Martin Nievera)

Mula ng makilala ka
Buhay ko’y biglang nag-iba
Kay saya ng bawat sandali
Kailanma’y hindi ipagpapalit

Ikaw ang aking hiniling
Sa habang buhay ay makapiling
Ngunit mahal ikaw ay nasaan
Aking minimithi ay ikaw lamang

Ikaw ang aking pangarap
Ikaw ang sagot sa ‘king dasal
Puso ko ay inaalay
‘Pagkat minamahal kitang tunay

Ikaw ang aking pag-ibig
Ang nagbibigay kulay sa ‘king daigdig
Wala nang nanaisin pa
Kung magpakailanman ay kasama ka

Ngunit mahal ikaw ay nasaan
Aking minimithi ay ikaw lamang
Ikaw lamang…

Ikaw ang aking pangarap
Ikaw ang sagot sa ‘king dasal
Puso ko ay inaalay
‘Pagkat minamahal kitang tunay

Ikaw ang aking pag-ibig
Ang nagbibigay kulay sa ‘king daigdig
Wala nang nanaisin pa
Kung magpakailanman ay kasama ka
Ikaw ang pangarap…

Ikaw ang aking pangarap…

What will it sound like when you die?

In "One Missed Call," a chain of people receive terrifying cell phone messages of their own final fatal moments. Though the messages can be deleted, their number is up.

The police think Beth is delusional-except for Detective Jack Andrews (Edward Burns) whose own sister was killed in a freak accident that bears a strange similarity to the deaths of Beth's friends. Together, Jack and Beth work feverishly to unravel the mystery behind the ominous calls. But even as they get closer to the truth, Beth's cell phone begins to ring with an eerie tune, and the readout says "One Missed Call"...
