Ding Dong Ding Dong !!
Movie Time !!

Recently it began again
I have been watching many movies in a ridiculously short span of time
And its not stopping
Ah I love it!
Oh Yea this one.... A direct to video for Spore. But this is actually pretty good. Produced by Wes Anderson from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, I know this one is no ordinary family flick. The story is structured around a normal family where the parent is undergoing separation. Ok well not a normal family. Dad is a dickhead who thinks he is super clever and very egoistic. Mom is unfaithful once in a while and is not contented with who she is (wife, mother) esp when she has literary talents. Older bro wans to fuck(He's about 16, 17) and younger bro jus discovered masturbation(he's about 11, 12?). As the family breaks down, every member has their own issues to grapple with too. This movie is good at taking the most difficult time anyone can ever relate to at different points in their lives and make it all happen at the same time in the same family, in this film. Imagine Dad can't take losing a game of ping pong to his own kid or a game of tennis to his wife, and having his own child say to him: suck my cock. Well, as I said, this is no family flick. The dialogue cuts like knives and at certain points, I felt the pain.


Latest update: Scream 1 and 3 has been finally released on video uncut at M18. Heh I've been waiting since secondary school. I won't be surprised if Scream 2 comes out as NC16 cos compared to 1 and 3, 2 is chicken shit.


Hmmm...to be honest I was never quite interested in Judi Dench. Cos she looks boring (and old). Esp when she walked away with Oscar Best Supporting Actress with a 8 second scene in Shakespeare in Love. But what drew me to Mrs Henderson Presents was the display of nudity on theatre at a time where England was conservative. And war came in. Interesting? Ya I think so. The songs are nice and the performance is dazzling. And the nudity is NOT erotic. Its actualli rather artistic as the laws governing the display of nudity in the film is that they must be like those portraits in the art museum. They cant move. So the naked chicks are all stationary. Ok tat aside. I actually find this movie very cheeky. Haha. All the old people inside are very cheeky too. And the people watching these art shows are all soldiers. Which tells us something very true even up till today. A man is at his peak of horniness when he's in army. Very True.


Reel life turns real life. Ok the progress of the story is a chain reaction. Nothing that happened in this movie was deliberately planned, except for the murder la of course. Firstly this movie is about people in the show-business. Fame, money, luxury. Murder, cover-up, sex. Is this the LA Confidential of 2005? Cos there is so much in this movie tat reminded me of LA Confidential. This movie starts off ok...i was dozing off but something happened and I was glued to the TV from then on till the end. Its quite a good detective show as you cant reali tell what e fuck is really going on unless you are the culprit or the corpse or the producer. Yea. So its not cliche. Good. But sorry Hung Yi, the dialogue is not as witty as i imagined. Haha... But the film is interesting as the visual is closely linked to the narration. Eg. Narrator says that this is the part where the good guys despite getting shot dun die. So the main character who was injured is lying on the hospital bed when the other guy who is supposedly dead comes to visit him in a wheelchair. Then the narrator goes on saying like why not jus bring everybody back to life. Haha then we can see all the bad people shot in the head in the chest all the dead corpse walking into the hospital room all looking fine. But later they all go away when narrator says: But it will never happen. There!

I like this version of the poster as compared to the Spore one. This one more class. Anyway Cache is indeed a well made movie. I like the way the credits opened. I cant reali describe it but its the first time i saw opening credits appearing like tat. The whole movie was intercut with images from the video the psycho in the movie took of the family he was terrorizing. And that is a lot of minutes of looking at the same thing. Boring at first but later on it gets creepy. The psycho forced the main character to dig up a childhood memory he wans to forget and bring that dreadful reality in his face. and the climax is very IN HIS FACE (inclusive of the blood splattered as shown above). The trauma also brings out the paranoia and anxiety experienced by this particular family. The Dad. The Mom. The Son. And honestly it could be any family. But I dun like the ending cos there isn't like one. I'm still thinking about whether it was something i missed thus i din get i. Fuck.


Akira Kurosawa is regarded as one of the most prestegious director of modern film. Yes? No? Well I've only seen this so i cant reali compare. But I know Seven Samurai and Ran are classics. Though I heard from people how bad they were. NVM. Dreams is a colourful collection of 8 stories which are all dreams. The images you see in this film are supposed to be something you onli see in dreams. So it is surreal. And the mood of each and every short is very well paced. It feels like you are watching the same movie but actualli they are all different. Cinematography is beautiful and I wonder if there were any digital effects. If not I would love to go Japan sometime. But camera work is shaky. So tats a minus right cos when we dream they are not shaky hor? Either way....A great piece of work lor.

By the way Mirrormask And Final Fantasy: Advant Children, 2 very CGI films which are supposedly very outstanding, did not even register as nice to me. Both i watched halfway and gave up. But they have merits la. Mirrormask is very inventive I must say. And for FF7, im quite surprised that I din like it for someone who spent countless nights playing FF back in those days. I guess its just because i forgot the story. Cos this is connected to the original FF7 u see.

I wanna catch Lie With Me. Supposedly the most sexually explicit film to hit cinemas as of now. Just wanna check out how explicit it is. Anyway its cut. So no matter what there is still something explicit not seen here. And reviews told me its not just about sex, it actualli has some heart. Ok la. Go try. I dun mind watching R21 shows cos I know I cant get them on DVD here later on.

AV is a Hong Kong show about uni students who took loans to hire a Japanese adult film actress to come to HK to star in their movie. Actualli they jus wan to fuck her. Ok but this is not just another dumbass horny HK CAT III movie. In fact, AV is not even rated CAT III. Well the movie discussed how youths can feel lost and confused at a certain point of their lives. How they are driven by physical attributes more than any other things. And how, from the Japan AV actress point of view, people exploit other people's determination to be famous to earn money. How a person can dun care about who u sleep with but must now control everything when emotions are now involved. Hmmm. Good stuff. And the girl is cute too. I dunno how she took it doing it with the fat dude who drools.

Watch Movies with me leh......I'm sian of watching alone.

Dad.

hey frens. my dad's health ain't doing so well at the moment. i guess i should be staying at home to look after him more. not tat he needs taking care of. jus for me to be around and make sure everything is alright. until this period of time when his body returns to normal and stablizes. in e meantime, i guess i should be here. well. i know we dun exactly share the most terrific father-son relationship. we dun talk much. and just now lecturing him about eating medicine and stop smoking and stuff. first time in my life. and probably the longest stretch of sentences ive said to him in the past decade. weird. worried. i hope he knows how to take care of himself. after all im his son. we are family. ain't family the most important thing in our lives? worried. worried.

THIS ROTTEN FEELING
arises from the lack of company
from talking to myself
not that im a loner
in fact i spend most of my time surrounded by people i know
the problem i believe is tat i do not
talk to them as in TALK
jokes. gossips. nuthings.
and at the end of the day
i get the time to think about whats wrong
but there will be no one there to listen
and i will jus talk to myself

am i losing my mind?

THIS ROTTEN FEELING
arises from the loss of something I held so dear
from having something that is not really mine
not that im in love
or out of love for that matter
i spend time understanding myself
and how to be a better person
and how to create the perfect future
for us

what us?

THIS ROTTEN FEELING
arises from the fact i no longer know myself
from the fact that my frens dun reali know me anymore
im wearing a mask i tot was a face
i wan to be an open book for all to know
cos that is honesty and trust
fundamentals of frenship isn't it?
but this open book is blank
cos i ponder upon the words that i hesistate to let everyone see

does anyone accept that?

THIS ROTTEN FEELING
arises from the fact that i feel rotten for every reason
from my being as rotten
for being increasingly self absorbed
for being decreasingly understanding
i wish i could jus reboot
and be the me when i tot i wasnt good enough
yet wasnt bad yet
what am i?
where am i?

hello?
TRY / EMPTY
TRY is about a boy who decides that he wan to venture into the next phase of his sheltered life.
to love.
but eventually he pulls out.
uncertain of the heartaches, agony as well as the joy and contentment it promises.
uncertain whether fate has a plan or he has a plan for fate.
just uncertain.
EMPTY is about the aftermath of a broken relationship.
it explores the mind of the broken hearted.
inflicted pain.
how everything is sort of still there but
its not.
and no matter how hard u try to get over it and start anew
it jus sinks u deeper into what u r crawling helplessly out of.
love sucks dun it?
LEE RYAN vs SIMON WEBBE
WHO IS BETTER?
For ignorant parties out there,
Both dudes were from the now-fate-unknown boyband BLUE
Both came out with solo albums to kick start their career
So its time for a SHOWDOWN.
LEE's album is kinda like mature pop
Emphasis is on his pretty powerful vocals
And a slight ability to be groovy.
Overall the CD is pleasant.
His vocals giving the whole experience a notch up
Cos if someone like JUSTIN were to sing his songs
He must jus carry it to far far away (ala SUCK)
WEBBE's CD is radio friendly
Every song is clearly different from the other.
but 1 min into every song
esp once he starts singing
it sounds the same.
So there.
LEE RYAN wins
HAHA

And kArMoUr's selected LEE RYAN fav
Parking (Trk 05) > Enjoy!

"Parking"
Waiting watching the clouds
Breathing like I'm gunna stop
Knowing this doors gunna knock
And there you'll be
And i pick you up,
In my car
Take you away

Somewhere we'll sit parked in my car
Minutes turn into hours
We'll watch the bright lights of the city
Just you and me.

Dreaming
Your lips dance across mine
Our hands, fingers entwined
There we'll for fil our desire
Set me free
REGRET
Brokeback Mountain and Broken Flowers taught me something
Both movies have key characters growing old alone.
Having lost the love of their respective lives.
In Brokeback
the love is dead
In Broken
the love found someone else
if ever there was a gauge to tell u who u love most
isnt it logical to be with that person?
unless u wan to wait for that person to die
or move on to find someone else
whom he/she may not love the most but is gd enough?
i wont
cos i dun want to grow old, be lonely and regret.
DARK CLOUD DAY
which is today
TAMPINES on a sunday
Hell on earth thats for sure.
Its like NY's eve countdown.
You can barely walk.
But at least Party crowd will giv way.
Tamp crowds comprises of mainly old folks and family and, gasps, kids.
Thus they are socially less aware
Like i was blocked at the top of the escalator because old folks and families were trying to get past upcoming crowd and go down the escalator.
I know u can't reali paint the picture reali well
but bottomline is
the whole escalator of people were this close away from having to walk on the moving escalator
and if some idiot falls.
DOMINO effect will occur on the moving escalator.
Personally I dun blame Old folks or Families
But i just think this is totally avoidable if they had made a slighly bigger round to get to the downward escalator instead of cutting directly in front of the upgoing escalator.
Anyway
Outside my favourite VCD shop
a little girl was holding a plastic bag containing red wind when the (thin) plastic bag gave way.
the bottle smashed at her feet
red wine broken glass all over on the floor
some glass cut her of course
and u cant realli tell which is wine
which is blood
poor girl
was crying her ass off for mummy.
this is totally avoidable too.
If there was jus one more layer of plastic bag
and who lets young girls like her carry glass bottles
(heavy + dangerous eh?)
ok
heavy rain + dark clouds
stirring about the Tamp CPF building like a scene from
TWISTER or DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
instead of thinking of how to get home
I was relating the dark clouds stirring to my uncertain uni place this year
Am i even going to get in?
its so fucked up
I dun even know anything
fuck.
I should have just stayed home and watched DVD.
JUNK
my brother got married
the room is now all to myself
so what's junk & what's not?
I still feel like i'm staring at a lot of things i dun need
but dun bear to throw away.
what is this thing called sentimental value anyway?

NEW FRIENDS
why the need to make new frens?
2 ways
one is fate brought us together
school, NS etc
cant fight fate
the other way is thru various means to make it happen
online, 2nd degree frens etc
i guess sometimes when we find ourselves surrounded by people who dun understand us anymore
we need new frens
to start a new frenship at a new level of understanding
to actualli have fren(s) to feel at ease with
dun u think so?
of course this is not like migration
old frens of course remains
as close still
but the need for new frens
is undeniable.
READING
i have yet to finis my extremely loud and incredibly close
the small paparback even came out already
im still stuck with the big version
im takin my sweet time on this I am
And a trip to KINO made me wanna read more
so i have decided to finis this extremely nice book
and MOVE ON
well.
i was thinking of getting this book
WHATEVER YOU THINK. THINK THE OPPOSITE
seems like an interesting book
one page goes
'if u think about university, go work instead'
basically about how thinking opposites can actualli make ur life better
GOSPEL OF JUDAS
apparently quite controversial
jus wanna see what is different from what I already know
yes people surprise i know the account
from AHS bible studies and Passion of the Christ
by the way u know Passion means suffering and not emotion right?
TABLOID TOKYO
a book of short stories taken from TOKYO papers
not stories actualli cos all these r real published articles
very VERY scandalous
I heard in Japan people engage in kinky sex by playing with shit.
hurr hurr, hear`say only larr
FASHION
If ever i get into NTU Arts
I was thinking maybe i need to redefine my dressing
after all i need to be slightly more ARTY FARTY than now right?
running around naked and hail to the thief wont get me far

anyway i was thinking of painter look
beret + tight black top and bottom + hand carry water color brush
OR
rugged look
demin jacket + white tee + torn jeans + sweaty smell
OR
Ah Beng
Yellow sweater + shoulder length yellow hair + tapered jeans + nokia phone with embedded blue lights
OR
GOTH
Dark Mascara + Lip piercing + a lot of leather bling bling + black lipstick + rusty metal chains

HMMM....anyone wanna go shop with me?

FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WHO THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY MY RIGHTS TO BLOG WHAT I FUCKIN FANCY. GO SUCK SHIT!....Thanks...Now Fuck off. And of course i apologize if the above msg was not intended for you. Hope to see you again. Posted by Picasa
KARMOUR
MEGA 2006
MOVIE
CRITICISM

Ok...I confess. When this realli happened back then, despite all the political issues and agony surrounding the 9-11, I actualli tot of how the movie based on it will look and when it will actualli come out. Well it actualli came out sooner than I expected. But this Oliver Stone pic looks like an emotional one...so i guess the story probably starts off after the collision and the collapse. But still watch it anyway. Be prepared for angry walk-outs and tearful breakdowns.


Oscar Best Foreign Film 2006... Just watched it for the sake of the honour it received lor.


Looks like a Documentary to me. On censorship. This topic interests me since sec sch. Those in my class would know right?


Park Chan Wook...Woohoo...I liked Oldboy. And just like night, I liked this as well. I never derived more satisfaction then the one i get from seeing the bad guy getting tortured over and over again, with different weapons! Yummy Revenge flick.


Firstly i think this poster will nv make it to singapore. Nudity. And I believe this is like a biopic of The Rolling Stones. So if anyone would be interested it would be Guang. Right bro?


A same brand of horror flick as per The Devil's Rejects and The Hills Have Eyes. In your face GORE. woohoo. and This is a horror-medy? perhaps? cos the story is kinda ticklish.


Gore. Gore. Gore. But this looks like its gonna suck.


From the writer of Minority Report. And with Keanu Reeves. Hmmm i suppose it will be futuristic with a hint of Matrix and Constantine and the poster looks like its inspired from V for Vendetta.


Violent western flick. I guess I would only watch this becos the story is a bit gripping (brothers killing brothers) and because Guy Pearce is inside. Great actor by the way. Memento. LA Confidential.


Gael Garcia Bernal. Yeah..haven seen him since Bad Education and Motorcycle Diaries. Great actor too. And a daring one(Y Tu Mama Tambien). Well the King is about him finding his Dad. And his name is Elvis. But i bet with you...no link.


Gore!!!!!!!...I saw a clip of the fingers getting sawed off. Goodish Fuck Shit


Another documentary. This is directly for the heart string one. But I scared it might be sian.


Is this another remake of the classic? Or it jus happens to be titled the same? Anyway Halloween H2O sucked. That guy (whoever is making this) better do better than that. I still like Dawn Of the Dead the most. the 2005 one please.


My God. I loved the soundtrack. And the Monkey is super cute. Hor? Super cute hor?


I bet this is a political satire. But whatever the case it will poke the politics of everything. If I have the time I might catch. Cos Im not interested in politics...actualli


Justin Timberlake debuts in this show. The guy from The Girl Next Door is in it too. Chilling crime thriller. Or just another Justin MTV. We'll see what other people say when they see it.

BLOGGER'S BLOCK

Yesh Y'all
I am having the above mentioned syndrome.
I can't think of anything to blog.

Lee Ryan(surprise!) got me singing along all day too. And for action buffs, Please Please Please catch District 13 and also gore fans, The Hills Have Eyes is for US!!!)
Fashion(Run around naked...u get wad i mean biatch??)

I dunno why I have some slang here and there...
