Cheng Gerald S. Cruz Related Project or Lucky Chinatown Cinema Ticketing System Module Copyright © 2015 Mobilegroup Inc. 1. OVERVIEW 1.1. Revision Information Date Version Description Author 2015-01-08 1.0 Initial Release Christopher Cheng / Gerald S. Cruz 1.2 Introduction This document describes the Schedule API. 1.3 Scope This document is intended to be used by 3rd party developers to pull movie schedules and other relevant data. Available are only READ-ONLY functions. As a publicly available API system, no authentication is necessary. 1.4. Architecture The API is a .NET 2.0 ASMX Webservice. It uses primarily SOAP as a protocol, and supports SOAP 1.1 and 1.2 as per the framework. Integration is easy via languages that support WSDL. The API also allows HTTP GET for clients that may have trouble with implementing a SOAP framework. However, this is only applicable for APIs that use purely native types. It is possible to call the API via JSON, but it requires changing the HTTP header MIME type to JSON manually from the caller end, due to a limitation of the .NET framework in that regard. 2. SCHEDULE API 2.1 Webservice URL Webservice URL is at: Live: http://blockbusterseats.com/dataapiws/dataapiws.asmx WSDL: http://blockbusterseats.com/dataapiws/dataapiws.asmx?wsdl Test: http://blockbusterseats.com/testdataapiwsmw/dataapiws.asmx WSDL: http://blockbusterseats.com/testdataapiwsmw/dataapiws.asmx?wsdl 2.2 Details The Webservice methods are structured such that they pull data in a specific distributed way. This is to limit the bandwidth and other overhead costs of pulling textual data. 2.3 Constants 2.3.1. Filter Most of the APIs require a filter to denote which Screen types are to be displayed. Value: ALL (or 0) - for all cinemas 2.3.2. Running Most of the APIs require a parameter which determines if the schedules for the whole day are to be displayed, or if it filters by time. True – Does not show lapsed schedules False – Shows all schedules for the given date, 2.3.3. Screening Type Some of the APIs return a Screening_Type parameter of type Integer, which is interpreted as follows: 1 – Reserved Seating 2 – Guaranteed Seating (Free seating but limited seat capacity) 3 – Free Seating (Free seating regardless of seat capacity) 2.4 APIs 2.4.1 GetBranchesWithSchedules () This Method is used to retrieve all branches with schedule on a given date. 2.4.1.1 Inputs Parameter Type Description Date DateTime The date from which is to be pulled Filter String See 2.3.1 Running Boolean See 2.3.2 2.4.1.2 Returns XBranch object containing: Parameter Type Description XBranch List[] List of string containing branch details Branch_Key Integer Branch key Branch_Code String Unique code for each branch Branch_Name String Branch name Cinema_Count Integer Cinema number where the movie is shown 2.4.1.3 Sample Result <XBranch> <Branch_Key>1</Branch_Key> <Branch_Code>LCT</Branch_Code> <Branch_Name>Lucky Chinatown</Branch_Name> <Cinema_Count>4</Cinema_Count> </XBranch> 2.4.2 GetMoviesWithSchedules() This method returns movie with schedule at a given date. 2.4.2.1 Inputs Parameter Type Description Date DateTime The date from which is to be pulled Filter String See 2.3.1 Running Boolean See 2.3.2 2.4.2.2 Returns XMovie object containing: Parameter Type Description XMovie List[] List of movie details Movie_Code String Unique movie mode Movie_Name String Movie name Mtrcb_Rating String Movie rating RunningTime Integer Movie running time Genre String Movie genre FilmFormat String Movie format CinemaType String Cinema type Synopsis String Movie synopsis The party that stores this information stores the data with escaped special characters (HTML format).

  • Women in Filipino Religion-Themed Films
    Review of Women’s Studies 20 (1-2): 33-65 WOMEN IN FILIPINO RELIGION-THEMED FILMS Erika Jean Cabanawan Abstract This study looks at four Filipino films—Mga Mata ni Angelita, Himala, Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa, Santa Santita—that are focused on the discourse of religiosity and featured a female protagonist who imbibes the image and role of a female deity. Using a feminist framework, it analyzes the subgenre’s connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God, and the imaging of the Filipino woman in the context of a hybrid religion. The study determines how religion is used in Philippine cinema, and whether or not it promotes enlightenment. The films’ heavy reference to religious and biblical images is also examined as strategies for myth-building. his study looks at the existence of Filipino films that are focused T on the discourse of religiosity, featuring a female protagonist who imbibes the image and assumes the role of a female deity. The films included are Mga Mata ni Angelita (The Eyes of Angelita, 1978, Lauro Pacheco), Himala (Miracle, 1982, Ishmael Bernal), Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa (The Last Virgin, 2002, Joel Lamangan) and Santa Santita (Magdalena, 2004, Laurice Guillen). In the four narratives, the female protagonists eventually incur supernatural powers after a perceived apparition of the Virgin Mary or the image of the Virgin Mary, and incurring stigmata or the wounds of Christ. Using a feminist framework, this paper through textual analysis looks at the Filipino woman in this subgenre, as well as those images’ connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God.

  • Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 275
    Mendoza / Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 275 REINFORCING MYTHS ABOUT WOMEN IN PHILIPPINE CULTURE Semiotic Analyses of the Sexbomb Girls in Eat Bulaga’s Laban o Bawi Trina Leah Mendoza University of the Philippines Los Baños [email protected] Abstract Movie and TV stars are an influential part of Philippine society. Not only do they entertain audiences with their television shows or movies, but their private lives and actions are arguably as interesting to the public. Celebrities and stars are admired, idolized, and looked up to by many of their followers, such that their values and actions can greatly influence their fans. However, their images may hold various meanings that are not evident to many people. This study analyzes a group of unconventional stars that changed the landscape of noontime viewing—the Sexbomb Girls—using a semiotic approach. It seeks to reveal the different images of women portrayed by the Sexbomb Girls, and understand how media can reinforce myths. The Sexbomb Girls were a social phenomenon and a product of production that depicted binary oppositions and metaphors: virgin/vamp, loud woman, and ordinary woman. These signs, binary oppositions, and metaphors served as myths that naturalized, influenced, and reinforced sexy female background dancers into becoming an ordinary part of noontime and game shows. Because they appeared six days a week in Eat Bulaga, the Sexbomb Girls have desensitized the Filipino masses such that seeing sexily clad background dancers in these shows has become ordinary and acceptable. Keywords binary oppositions; metaphors; semiotics; Sexbomb Girls; signs; social phenomenon Kritika Kultura 33/34 (2019/2020): 275–298 © Ateneo de Manila University <http://journals.ateneo.edu/ojs/kk/> Mendoza / Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 276 About the Author Trina Leah Mendoza is an assistant professor at the Department of Development Broadcasting and Telecommunication, College of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).

  • Filmography of Filipino Films 2012 Introduction by Lucenio Martin L
    DOCUMENT Filmography of Filipino Films 2012 Introduction by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon Compiled by Lucenio Martin L. Lauzon, Maria Regina V. Mendez, and Alex Nicolas P. Tamayo Introduction Philippine cinema in 2012 can be pretty summed up by the box-office triumph of a most unlikely release in The Mistress and the international presence for the country’s national cinema courtesy of Brillante Mendoza. The Mistress is from the country’s leading studio, Star Cinema and is the kind of adult romance that is a throwback to love triangles of circa-1960s dramas involving the likes of Eddie Rodriguez, Lolita Rodriguez and Marlene Dauden in the film cast. It’s not exactly family fare and its success at the tills may hint at the changing dynamics of audience taste and patterns of consumption for local movies. As to the waves the country made overseas, two films directed by Mendoza gained significance. Captive—by all means an international film with a French legendary actress Isabelle Huppert in the lead role—vied for top plum at the main competition in Berlin. Superstar Nora Aunor’s comeback, Thy Womb, managed to land a slot in turn in Venice similarly for main competition. With a phenomenon that may prove distinct for Philippine cinema, industry production was much propelled by a kind of festival craze. Sustained endeavors for Cinemalaya, Cinema One, Cinemanila and Metro Manila Film Festival were matched no less by the Sineng Pambansa National Film Festival under the auspices of the Film Development Council of the Philippines—the national agency tasked to oversee the state of affairs pertinent to the country’s film industry.
