^ Dang [i]mango juice[/i], I love you taste movies. I love Kurosawa. Where did you watch that? I'll check it out if it's available at bittorrent.

^ That's cool.. I'd like to see the film.

[img]http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9163/imagesui1.jpg[/img] I saw [b]Lady in the Water[/b] the other day. Boy was I disappointed. Some bed-time story's just not my cup of tea. Will give it a low [b]2/5 rating[/b].

^ [b]@Lady In the Water[/b] Hmm.. I didn't really liked it. It's really a bed-time story, but I didn't like the story itself. I was really interested with this one, but I guess I expected too much. You can try watching it, maybe it won't be all bad for you hehe. [b]@Cars[/b] I didn't think it would be good.. So it's great you shared something about it. I'll take a look at it when I find a copy.

Here's a set of movies I've watched since December, after Christmas. Hope you find the short notes useful. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]ONAJI TSUKI WO MITERU[/b] [i]Japanese, Drama[/i] [img]http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/1566/onajitsuki689ue5.jpg[/img] The English title is [i]Looking for the Same Moon[/i], some call it [i]Under the Same Moon[/i]. I watched this without the subs since it wasn't available. It's a good thing I could understand the language. It's a nice drama, the plot was rather simple, But it's actors gave a lot of justice to the story. Stars 2 of my favorite Asian actors -- [i][b]K. Yousuke[/b][/i] and [i][b]Edison Chen[/b][/i]. Yes, Edison! I'm impressed that now he's appearing in Japanese TV/Movies. His Japanese has improved greatly, considering that he doesn't need translators anymore. [b]RATING: 4[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]BEYOND OUR KEN[/b] [i]Chinese, Dark Comedy[/i] [img]http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/5469/beyondourkenad002be324ars9.jpg[/img] Excellent movie, why did I ever delayed watching this. The story's is for over 18 audiences, but it's not offensive. I was surprised to see [i][b]Gillian Cheung[/b][/i] [i](Twins)[/i] in this kind of movie. Here's a movie that showed [i]Gillian[/i] is much better than her [i]Twin[/i] [i][b]Charlene Choi[/b][/i]. I love the story, it was always interesting, and the soundtrack rocks! [b]RATING: 5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]WORLD TRADE CENTER[/b] [i]USA, Drama[/i] [img]http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/63/centertz2.jpg[/img] Based on a true story, it was quite hard to watch it. I'm in awe of these men's bravery. It's not easy doing their work. I can't say much, I'll just encourage you to watch it. [b]RATING: 3.5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]ONE MISSED CALL III[/b] [i]Japanese, Horror[/i] [img]http://img307.imageshack.us/img307/2843/001nd2.jpg[/img] I've seen the 1st movie of this trilogy. I heard the 2nd one was a disaster, so I didn't see it. The 1st one was way better than this, and there are corny scenes here. Shall I tell you the ending? Well the curse never ended wahahah! [b]RATING: 2.5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]IT HAD TO BE YOU[/b] [i]Chinese, Comedy[/i] [img]http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4277/madvd721no1.jpg[/img] I heard from somewhere that this was not good. On the contrary, I enjoyed it. There's some silly stuff on the script but it worked, I like it. Karena Lam and Ekin Cheung were great together. [b]RATING: 3.5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]SEOUL RAIDERS[/b] [i]Chinese, Action[/i] [img]http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/3366/posternp1.jpg[/img] [i][b]Tony Leung[/b][/i] looks like my dad, I was laughing so hard. Wooot, this stars Shu Qi [i](So Close)[/i], too bad she had a few fight scenes. I've always wanted to see this, after watching [i][b]Tokyo Raiders[/b][/i]. I'm disappointed with it though, the story is too simple. And the Korean ladies didn't really do anything except to run around with 'bossi'. I enjoyed all the kung-fu though! [b]RATING: 3/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]DO YOU LIKE SPRING BEAR?[/b] [i]Korean, Comedy[/i] [img]http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/2743/2903nc1.jpg[/img] The English title sounds funny haha! Hmm the story was unique, it seem to need polishing though. Duna Bae had good chemistry with his leading man here, they were funny together. [b]RATING: 3/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]DADDY LONG LEGS[/b] [i]Korean, Drama[/i] [img]http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2991/3479xz9.jpg[/img] My friend insisted I watch this. Hah, but I think it could have been better. The story was dragging, but it went OK in the end. But still, it I think it went a bit off. [b]RATING: 2.5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]MAUNDY THURSDAY[/b] [i]Korean, Drama[/i] [img]http://img316.imageshack.us/img316/8659/1223pimagemediumqk3.jpg[/img] Story's rather slow, it picked up towards the lather part of the movie. It was very sad, quite moving, it's a good movie. I love both actors, especially [i]Lee Na Young[/i]. [b] RATING: 3.5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]SUMMER TIME MACHINE BLUES[/b] [i]Japanese, Comedy[/i] [img]http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/6540/7f9aef512fb9a4180bd7cf8ce6.jpg[/img] Also known as [b]Sama Taimumashin Burusu[/b]. Quiet funny but rather hard to understand, maybe it was just me. I'm a fan of the two leads, and it's nice seeing them again on-screen. [b] RATING: 3.5/5[/b]

[img]http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/387/thetwinseffect92969164zh6.gif[/img] [b]TWINS EFFECT[/b] [i]Hong Kong, Comedy/Action[/i] I saw [i]TWINS EFFECT[/i] again. Even with it's corny romance scenes, I still like it haha! Loved the action stuff, KUNG FU kicks ass! [b]Jacky Chan[/b] is my favorite action star haha, there's lots of HK celebs in this movie. [b]Karen Mok[/b] [i](So Close)[/i] and [b]Edison Chen[/b] were in it too, wooot wooot! It's a lousy title though, promoting the [b]Twins[/b] [i](Gillian Cheung and Charlene Choi)[/i]. But i admit, I like watching the Twins hehe. [b]RATING 4/5[/b]

Here are again some of the movies I've watched lately. I am hoping to see '[b]Babel[/b]' maybe this weekend. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]NOBODY KNOWS[/b] [i]Japanese, Drama[/i] [img]http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/3674/nobodyposter13bw1.jpg[/img] The highly-acclaimed movie, directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. Based on a [b]true story[/b] that happened in Tokyo. About four (4) young children abandoned by their mother. Then 12 year-old [b]Yuya Yagira[/b] wins '[b]BEST ACTOR[/b]' for his portrayal of Akira. The youngest winner to get the 'best actor' award at the [b]57th Cannes Festival[/b]. [b]RATING: 5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]MEZON DO HIMIKO[/b] [i]Japanese, Drama[/i] [img]http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4869/b0008702033777wj9.jpg[/img] Great movie, great actors! I love the story. It's different and artsy. The gay men are funny and endearing haha! [b]RATING: 4/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]A.F.R.I.K.A.[/b] [i]Korean, Drama, Action[/i] [img]http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/4883/afrikacoverej6.jpg[/img] Can be compared with the movie "[b]Sugar and Spice[/b]". College Girls turned Hoodlums (well accidentally). It was a good movie, the message is quite questionable though. This movie was released at the beginning of world-wide Korean Cinema craze! [b]RATING: 3/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]DAISY[/b] [i]Korean, Drama, Action[/i] [img]http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9430/daisyij0.jpg[/img] Sad sad sad movie, but wow. The story's wonderful, it will bring you to tears. About a killer and a policeman, inlove with the same woman ([b]Jeon Ji-hyun[/b]). Great cinematography, and great acting as well. [b]RATING: 4/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]MOVING TARGETS[/b] [i]Hong Kong, Action, Drama[/i] [img]http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/2532/movingtargets0jkux8.jpg[/img] I've seen this movie 2 years ago. I watched it again with my housemate, I still loved it. It's a good police story, starring [b]Edison Chen[/b] and [b]Nicholas Tse[/b]. Along with some Hong Kong greats! [b]RATING: 4.5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]BREAKING NEWS[/b] [i]Hong Kong, Action, Drama[/i] [img]http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/3549/u354p28t3d395844f326dt2oh6.jpg[/img] One of my favorite movies by [b]Johnny To[/b]. I love his concepts, and his stories, they are quite unique. And this movie is one of his bests, another police drama. [b]RATING: 4/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

[quote=miss kita pag tuesday]wow! is this a new movie for lindsay? tnx for this weng..[/quote] I dunno, maybe.

Here's a couple of movies I watched the past week. I haven't seen '[b]Babel[/b]' yet. Not much time to watch movies these days. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]ISABELLA[/b] [i]Hong Kong, Drama[/i] [img]http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4744/toedeblogisabella7gtdp3.jpg[/img] Won in the '[b]Berlin International Film Fest[/b]' & '[b]Golden Bauhinia Awards[/b]'. [i]Isabella[/i] is a wonderful artsy film by '[i]Ho-Cheung Pang[/i]' the director of '[i]Beyond Our Ken[/i]'. Loved the music, loved the cinematography, I like the story. It's a slow-paced movie, and let's you appreciate the beauty of Macau. This is the 1st time I've seen '[b]Chapman To[/b]' do a drama. Canto-pop singer '[b]Isabella Leong[/b]' showed she can act, she sang a little too. [b]RATING: 4/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [b]INNOCENT STEPS[/b] [i]Korea, Drama[/i] [img]http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/2453/posterisjv3.jpg[/img] I've delayed watching too many movies, this was one of them. I didn't know this would be a good one, if not for my former housemate. Cute, sad and funny is how I would describe this movie. I didn't expect to see '[b]Geun-yeong Mun[/b]' dance so well -- she did! She was ever charming as she was in the big-hit comedy-drama '[i]My Little Bride[/i]'. It was a sad-feel-good movie, it'll make you dance a little too hehe. [b]RATING: 3.5/5[/b] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
