Midnight in Paris (2011)
No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest, and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure.
Amen to that ;)
Liked the movie. It’s asking the viewer to have a bit of patience with it in the beginning, but then, which good movie doesn’t? ;)
But if that car ever stopped to pick me up, it would be a car model of the ( Read more... ) -
The Avengers (2012)
Watched it today. At the cinema. Not only because of the 3D; I still believe that at least the first viewing of a movie should be done on the big screen, at the theater, not the TV/computer screen at home. That comes later ;)
There's something magic about the moment the lights go off and the film starts rolling (well, the file starts playing. or ( Read more... ) -
The Killer (1989)
Watched it because IMDb mentions it was inspired by Melville's ' Le Samourai'.
IMDb reviews praise it up, down, left and right. Me, ain't impressed that much.
I can understand why the praise, though. It did establish a genre. I liked the choreography; the physical and emotional tango the two main characters dance. It did help me understand better the ( Read more... ) -

... if anyone wants to hear Chris Evans' attempts at speaking Cantonese... watch this.
Getting fond of the kid; he's like the little brother I never had ;) :D
I like his confidence, his on-screen cockiness; his Captain America; his two-for-two next to the jaded and haunted Ludlow.
He's still new to the game, and I'm really curious how he'll evolve ( Read more... ) -
Le Samourai (1967)
A photo at tumblr led me to it. IMDb says Jim Jarmusch's 'Ghost Dog' was inspired by it. So I was curious.
Turns out I've seen the 'samourai' movie several times in my childhood - after all, it's 7 years older than me - but never paid attention to what I watched. Story of my life.
But while I could see the similarities between this film and 'Ghost ( Read more... ) -

tired. tired of routine, tired of people, tired of ... almost everything. especially stupid requests from people who really really really should know better...
just want to lock myself indoors and throw away the key, shut off the phone, set Skype on offline... read books and watch movies 'till kingdom or Armageddon or Mayan-prophesied-end-of-the ( Read more... ) -

You Are The Moon
You represent the unconscious side of life, what happens in dreams.
You are capable of great genius - but also of great madness.
Emotions tend to be primal for you, both your fears and your fantasies.
Your intuition is always right, listening to it is the difficult part.
Your fortune:
You are about to embark on a very ( Read more... ) -
Margin Call (2011)
Watched it yesterday.
it's 'the little film that could' :)
I liked how they left even less character development in the final cut, but the film still works.
'we' don't need to know the back story of each character, not beyond the few lines dropped by another character/s. What 'we' get to see in the film are 24 hours of a historical moment; and in ( Read more... )
