Rescue Dawn wasn't great but defo a worthwhile watch. Great actor, that Bale guy

I just got my "Requiem For A Dream" dvd.

Seriously, thats one of the most depressing movie i have ever seen.
I almost cried during the ending scene of the movie.

Well yeah, maybe so but Kelly was gorgeous lar and you can't say the same with Novak. How much was it? I bought North By Northwest the other day for RM 39.90. Returned it the next day (no DTS sound as promised on the cover) and exchanged for Strangers on a Train [preferred Train].

You still dare to *** despite the huge fines imposed?

The Golden Compass

The Man from the earth. A story bout a Caveman who had live until present world after 14,000 years.
He decided to revealed the mystery of his immortal life to his friends before he starting a new life.

The starting could be no idea how fancy the story would go on. I thought i can see some supernatural scene like from "The Powder".

Once the guy confessed his identity in the farewell gathering. The atmosphere is getting interesting & attractive to me.

At this second, you can decide to listen or turn off this show.

The whole movie is about argument amongst the friends which believed their immortal friend either had been lose his insanity. The so called "Cave man" friend had destructs his friends's trust against their own religion & mass scientific logical knowledge. 

Some bull crap sounds so like to entertain peoples for wild times. Some bull crap could be so real that you can't deny it could be convincing based on your own believable judgement.

Listen to his talk-show if you not afraid to be challenge like a fool.

In the end, there is a firm answer to tell you whether he is a Caveman or not. It won't end up like X-files. Dun worry.

This is a well-written sci-fi story which is not involved with any CG effects, Action stunt or exposed female beauty.

The most simplest sci-fi movie which only using the wisdom of words to applause.

The whole concept is even interesting than "Da Vinci Code" as it is also a fiction which challenge the history of religion.

Wonder u had watched The Magnificent Seven too? It had been said to be a western clone based on 7 samurai concept running.

I watched 7 samurai over 5 years ago. And i was amazed by the whole story running & character details.

Weeks ago, i just watched The Magnificent Seven. It is one amazing show wif some simple and depth message. I truly got touched in a conversation when Charles Bronson disallow the kids to say their parents is a coward to fight back the villains. Aiks..it is just not easy to become as a father.

Makakeke,
Do you mind intro some classic work from David Lean and Sergio Leone? Thx..

Cool... Leone's The Good, THe bad & the ugly & Once Upon A time in the west are my father's favourite. He told me to get a copy for him to re-watch. I only watched a little for fun. And the "Malboro" theme is so classic which was applied in TV commercial after dat.

Yeah, you are right bout the Americanism. They just want to be as cool as they can to "flirt" with the ladies audience?!

Hmmm, The american movie always like dat one since so long time already. haha.. At least, a few of them still need to die to be legend. haa..

The crazy guy in "7 Samurai" still one of the interesting character until today. I need to get another copy of this. I watched in VCD last time.
Anymore classic work you recommend from Akira Kurosawa. I always think to watch "RAN". What do you say?

Need to grab Iwo jiwa & flags of our fathers. Will get "letters" first for sure!.

Across the Universe - I'm a bit of the Beatles fan, so I enjoyed this very much, despite the cliched story, uneven pacing and being overlong by about 20mins. Loved the radical alterations on some songs, especially I Want To Hold Your Hand. A good looking film, both visuals and cast wise. I also think the Let it Be sequence is probably the goosebumps moment of the year.

3.5/4 stars

LOL. Bought Eastern Promises and Superbad. Ought to watch it later when my parents sleep later

Bloody hell, you had the ORIGINAL dvd that fast? And Speedy sold me an unclear version of Superbad Will probably just throw the disc away. Fed up of going all the way to Speedy. Treat it as 100000 and EIGHT ringgit gone

are we talking about the same original? Or you misunderstood me? 

The Usual Suspects is a very good movie, bloody good if you ask me but like Memento or The Sixth Sense, once you have seen it, spotted the twist, it kinda spoils the subsequent showings.

the lives of others

lan : german

the movie is good, its the one that beat pan's to the oscar. the main character was acted to perfection ( sad the actor passed away ) think the german kevin spacy in his best performance ever. his stare tells soo much emotion.

the movie its a somewhat spy story but a very realistic one. no bond or bourne, this is the real way how its done by recording and bugging (in that era at least). even the issues that it touchs are very realistic, east germany russian controlled not very politically free.

highly recommended 4/5

I still like L.A. confidential and Fight Club even the twist is just one time only and I can see it coming even the first time watching it.

Anyway recently watched,
The Lookout, kinda good and entertaining. Good storyline and great acting by the Blind guy and Villain guy. Some little flaws and a cliche black glass guy but overall still good. One of my top 10 in 2008. 7.8

Mr Brooks, the ending part with the daughter was kinda lame. It's so unconvincing and spoil the whole thing. In fact every scene with her daughter is unnecessary, so does the Demi Moore sub plot. Otherwise would be an a solid one with more times on Kevin Costner and William Hurt dialogues and on works. 6.7

Big Fish, my X times watching it and still like it. Probably my favourite Tim Burton's movie. Obi wan McGregor is so well cast and the lady is too lovely. Just couldn't figure out why the Circus boss has to be a werewolf or something. 8.5
Can't wait for Sweney Todd

Trainspotting, simply amazing. Loves every seconds and every bits of it. Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle, Johhny Lee Miller, Ewen Bremner are all great. Highly recommended for those who hasn't and especially those with some experience of you know what. 9.0
