I actually laughed hard the 1st time I saw Xian's post about the boobs.
Yeah WTC got boring espcially in the middle part.
[b]@Xian[/b]
Hmmm.. I didn't see any bouncing boobies in the movie. Haha!
One character had huge ones though, I forgot her name, she's pretty muscular there.
Oh I appreciate the repu Xian, and THANK YOU also for keeping this section alive.
You're indeed one of the top posters in this section.

[b]YURERU[/b]
[i]Japan / Pyschological, Drama[/i]
[img]http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/5223/8758475jt1.jpg[/img]
The English name for this film is '[b]Sway[/b]'.
Though it's labeled as a psychological drama, this has a very simple plot.
The movie lives up to it's title, the story is like swaying..
Even with it's simplicity, you could never know what's really gonna happen.
[b]Rating: 3.5/5[/b]

[b]ETERNAL SUMMER[/b]
[i]Taiwan / Drama[/i]

I'm not fond of watching [i]'gay' [/i]movies [i](men w/ men, not sounding offensive here).[/i]
First movie I saw on this topic was '[b]Bishonen[/b]' from Hong Kong back in 2004.
But '[b]Eternal Summer[/b]' was not as torrid and passionate as [i]'Bishonen'[/i].
This was after-all a coming of age film, in fact it reminded me of [b]'Blue Gate Crossing'[/b].
I liked the movie, though it's certainly not for everbody.
If you're going to ask me if they kissed --[i]'yes they did, and yes they did IT.'[/i]
[b]Rating: 4/4[/b]

[b]MYUNGSOO OF REVERSION[/b]
[i]Korea / Comedy, Drama[/i]

Bah! I'm so disappointed with this film.
Aside from the lousy script, comes the unbelievable lousy story.
The nudity was even surprisingly out of place, and still so lousy too!
It made the story really cheap in my opinion.
Keep away from this film, I'm telling you.

[b]SCHINDLER'S LIST[/b]
[i]USA / Historical, Biographical, Drama[/i]
[img]http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/184/895849te4.jpg[/img]
I was 13 years old when I first saw this movie.
I remember my father rented 3 VHS tapes for me and my sisters to watch it.
And we had to watch it with him explaining every scene haha!
I recently saw it again with my housemate.
I wanted her to see it cos she had no further knowledge of the Holocaust.
It's a truly powerful movie, and will be recognized for as long '[i]humanity[/i]' exists.

[i]Korea / Comedy, Drama[/i]

I didn't expect much from this film.. but I ended up liking it.
Funny cute movie, I really enjoyed it.
I love [b]Ryu Seung-Beom[/b], he's soo funny.
From now on I'll take the time to watch more of his movies,
Especially if he directs them.
He looks good with [b]Shin Mina[/b] here.
Watch it! You'll enjoy it!

[b]THE NUMBER 23[/b]
[i]USA / Pyschological, Thriller, Drama[/i]
[img]http://img476.imageshack.us/img476/7864/45984958mj4.jpg[/img]
It tried to hard to be original, but it's like I've seen it somewhere else.
I dunno... I wasn't at all impressed.
Or maybe it's because I expected too much.
Nevertheless, it was a good performance by [b]Jim Carrey[/b].
I just didn't like the whole story, and there are parts in the script that I hated.
[b]Rating: 2/5[/b]

[b]BE WITH ME[/b]
[i]Singapore / Drama, Biographical[/i]
[img]http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5650/9859485ei3.jpg[/img]
Wow.. and I mean WOW!!
I knew this would be good the 1st time I heard it was by [b]Eric Khoo.[/b]
I liked it already from the start.
The stories were remarkably real, and it affects you deeply.
Though the other characters are fictitious, one is not, [b]Theresa Chan[/b],
A courageous deaf and blind woman whose life-story inspired "[i]Be With Me[/i]".
Warning though, it's almost like a silent movie..
There is probably only 10% talk from the 1 hour and a half runtime.
The film consists of three [u](3) different stories[/u] of different people.
But are bound by one common desire - [i]"to be with their loved one." [/i]
Love, isolation and longing.. everybody can relate to this.
It's a remarkable film that everyone should take the time to see.
