Movie blurts... #1 (movies i watched recently)

I'm too young and inexperience to do movie review, so... please bear with me...

1) My Blueberry Nights (Wong Kar Wai) 2007, Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie Portman n Rachel Wiez.


from IMDB.com :
A young woman takes a soul-searching journey across America to resolve her questions about love while encountering a series of offbeat characters along the way.

Cal, you have to watch this, Wong Kar Wai directed the film. the colors and lightning is so his style.



2) City of God /Cidade de Deus (Fernando Meirelles) 2002 Nominated for 4 Oscar


from IMDB.com:
Two boys growing up in a violent neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro take different paths: one becomes a photographer, the other a drug dealer.

Shouldn't watch this in library... =.='' ay ay... explicit contents. But have to praise the actors, their acting are brilliant. The way the story are told one after another is interesting. You can see the previous character 'll influence the next.



3) Misery (Rob Reiner) 1990 adaptation from Stephen King's novel


from IMDB.com: Novelist Paul Sheldon crashes his car on a snowy Colorado road. He is found by Annie Wilkes, the "number one fan" of Paul's heroine Misery Chastaine. Annie is also somewhat unstable, and Paul finds himself crippled, drugged and at her mercy.

KATHY BATES I LOOOOVVVEEEEE YYYYOOOUUUUUUU!!!!!~~~ this is kinda similar to "Hard Candy", intense interaction between lead male and female actors. Kathy Bates totally pulled off the image of crazed obsessed fan. creepy but at the same time begs sympathy from the viewer. Kathy Bates simply magnificent!

I shall go back to work now... more reviews to come.

Basically i'm spreading some movie-love disease. but trust me, the titles mention are worth watching.

Heavy serious s***....



Next month i'll be graduating, and i'm in between either continuing studies or jump straight into the industry. I havent send out my resume yet, havent refine portfolio and havent even put it up on the world wide web yet. I also havent search which school to apply, when to apply, and how to apply yet. WHY??? WHY?? you'd probably kick my ass and yell "JUST do it already! why have i not been doing what i'm supposed to do by now? Today everything finally became crystal clear.

I'M SCARED shitless. the fact that i'll be finishing school soon is so overwhelming that i refused to acknowlege it. But then after some serious thinking and short talks with friends and lecturer, i realized that the core of the problem is my fear of growing up. Everything had been laid out and dictated to me all these years. Now is the time to move forward. Become an adult, take on the role and responsibility.
I also realize that i dont really want to continue to study, it is partly because of my selfish motive of buying time so i dont have to face the music so soon. Guess, cant do this anymore. Take the bull by the horns. Here i come FUTURE! Bring it ON.
I just hope that the person i am today can contribute to the person i am going to be in the future.(does that make sense) anyhoo, to end this heavy rant post, lets listen to Shannon Noll's - Shine.

random post...#21

This poster made me cringe. Jackie Chan and Jet Li in one movie. Whoa!

but i like the poster layout. the way they arrange the names and coming soon into a border is brilliant. It looks like a scroll.
Anyway....it latter made me feel like this.

I'm sorry for the bad analogy.......

WTF?!!!! Jackie!!! why are you wearing a mop??

Heres the plot,
"Based on the Chinese legend of the monkey king, revolves around an American teenager who discovers the king's legendary stick weapon in a pawn shop. He is transported back in time to ancient China, where he joins a crew of warriors fighting to free the imprisoned king."



They freakin add in too many elements already. shees.... i like Lionsgate movie but i WOULD NOT WATCH THIS CRAP! look at the trailer. total turn off. I mean COME ON! Jackie Chan and Jet Li! two brilliant martial artists, at least do some great movies like Heroes or House of Flying Daggers which show the ultimate kung fu beauty! not this commercialize type! aish aish!
