Billie Piper's "Because We Want To" is a catchy cheery teenage anthem that lacks a video that suits it. The video's gray and quite dull, no color or spice. In my mind's eye this was filmed in a brightly lit studio with rainbow colored balloons and synchonized back up dancers wearing cotton, and at least one lollipop would make an ( Read more... )

Oh sheee, I forgot to post this TWO days in a row. Blame it on the fever. >_<

So, three MV's for the price of one & a promise this will not repeat itself.

This Korean MV by singer Shin Hyesung (whom I adore) takes the tragic love story to an extreme that makes it somehow not as tragic as laughable. Basically. A man falls in love with a mermaid. ( Read more... )

Sowkiyamma from Sangamam is one of my favourite Tamil songs, from my favourite A. R. Rahman soundtrack. The picturization is not incredible, but includes some nice Bharatanatyam dancing and the heroine is cute. The youtube rendition lacks in quality; sorry about that. The movie itself is nothing to write about.. It's one of the ( Read more... )

When people think of Shahid/Kareena, they hopefully think of Jab We Met. But I got to know the jodi in 36 China Town, an okay Abbas-Mustan comedy that was mispromoted as a murder mystery of sorts. The soundtrack is offensively bad Himesh Reshmiyya but that doesn't stop me from ( Read more... )

I got into Buddy Holly trough a fantastic nostalgia movie American Graffiti (best George Lucas movie ever) and haven't looked back. Love, love, love this guy. Love how 50's rock lyrics are so simple and clichéd but since they were the first, whatever comes after ( Read more... )

The song is from Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke, one of my favourite Bollywood films, starring Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla. Aamir here has fallen prey to Bad 90's Haircut (And Fashion) Syndrome, but let's not blame him for it - everybody looked like that, if not worse, in Indian cinema around 1994. Juhi on the ( Read more... )

If you want to know what Korean movies are like, watch Korean music videos.

Words That Are Hard to Say by Lee Seung-gi (seen here as the nerdy boy in the video) is a rather typical Korean MV in that it's sweet and sad, resembles a mini-movie and can move you to tears. A small love story about a good boy and a bad girl and oh god, I just love it.

My year more or less began with the discovery of this song on some version of Singstar. There are no words to be watching a video like this at something AM on New Year's. So it's only appropriate I post it as the first edition of this idea I got from filmi_girl's LJ.
