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.
