I watched "DEPARTURE" last night. It's Japanese movie. Damn good. Recommended to all.... Don't forget to bring lots n lots n lots of tissue. Humor and Drama side by side....

ow is it? i thought it is not in cinema coz how come this great movie didnt appear in newspaper..or it appear but i didnt notice it. thanx for ur corection.wow. u got a pretty good blog. just do a lil bit more on the design and put the movie posters so that it will be more attractive.

Also saw The Hurt Locker. It's basically a smarter, rawer, and more realistic version of The Kingdom. Not sure if it's deserving of all the lavish praise it's been getting, but it's very good.

*Sigh*

Used to be, you cannot talk any studios into product live action fantasy movie, because

1) They are TERRIBLY expensive to produce
2) They TERRIBLY difficult to make.

In the Eighties, 3 such movies, defied odds and were produced,

1) Legendary puppeteer Jim Henson made a movie called Dark Crystal (Critically acclaim, but didn't do much in the box office, apparently had a sequel in production limbo)
2) with then not yet A-Lister Tom Cruise and Ridley Scott directed mildly successful in the box-office Legend, only mildly. A huge set burnt down halfway into making the movie, causing a big chunk of the movie not to be flimed.
3) Producer/Director powerhouse George Lucas directed another mildy successful Willow.

Also not forgetting movies like Krull (not to be confused with Kull The Conqueror) and The Neverending Story (both more European produced and later US released) [both movies, I in love with]

Yes, I did, and I apologised

I also left out my all time favorite movie, The Princess Bride (it always gives me a warm fuzz feeling on the inside... )

When I was writing above, I was thinking BIG budget

But then it could be argued that Conan the Barbarian, Dragonslayer, Excalibur were big budget...

There were also "interesting" fantasy movies during the 80s like Sword and The Sorcerer and the terrible Barbarians (with twin muscled laden actors).

My bad

12 Angry Men. 1957 black & white version starring Henry Fonda.

All time classic. Just watched it again earlier while idling away the night (WoW servers down).

Great film about 12 jurors discussing a murder case. Very interesting to see the speech patterns and mannerisms of the times, and the scene when Lee J. Cobb's character's eyes bulged in blinding rage will stick in my mind for a long time.

my dad made me watch 12 angry men when i was like 14 to entice me into law. it worked until i came across american comics when i was 16.

2) A Few Good Men has nothing on 12 Angry Men.

watch setem last saturday with my friends
2 thumbs up
the effect is superb (considering msia quality) and guaranteed non-stop laughing
totally not a waste money unlike some malay movie out there

lol, it's quite a popular book I think, but it isnt surprising that you dont know many who have read it because... you know how malaysians are.  

Its my favourite Gaiman book. Ingenious and hilarious at every turn.

4)    Had always wanted to read Stardust the book. Have you had the chance to read it? Any good? (If you had read it)

I could not agree less. HGTG was an absolute mess - a trainwreck. I didn't find it funny, I didn't find it absurd, I just found it boring.

Have you every read the stand alone 50th issue of The Sandman. If yes, what did you think?

It is just a matter of opinion..calling it as suspect taste is just somehow..rude? don't you think so?

the ugly truth...3.5/5.0

(500) days of summer

I would love to have more Hitchcock conversations here, any time.

u mean those horror part ? (zombie eating the human organ) ?

no oo.. dont have any censored also
