Koizora The Movie (2007)

This movie is so full of dramas. Can Mika's life be much more dramatic than that? Hahaha.
Anyway, I still love this movie. In fact, this is one of the movies that I didn't skip any part of it.

So many sweet scenes and dialogues that would make one goes "awwww".

Although I don't really like the first half of this movie (yes, I am quite conservative), but I think that is what really happens in our society, isn't it?

Plus, Mika is so lucky to have two sweet guys that love her so much.

Overall, 9/10 from me.

The Little Match Girl

Is it just me, or is this year's winter colder than ever? Ok, maybe it's just me.

Walking back home from class on a windy and snowy night, I remembered a story that I read when I was little, The Little Match Girl.

Mind Your Language

Mind Your Language (1977-1986)

Found this series on YouTube.

This British comedy series is about an English teacher (Mr. Brown) who has to teach a bunch of foreigner. It's funny, hilarious, awesome, enjoyable, cute, and addictive.
There is no single episode that I don't like.
Too bad the show was ended due to it being not "politically correct".

Unstoppable (2010)

I was 20 minutes late and the person who sold the ticket at the cinema let me see the movie for free (since the movie had already ran for 20 minutes). Weird.
The movie is about a giant train that due to some technical errors, moves on its own at a speed that is too fast to be stopped, hence the title.

To make matter worse, the train is carrying chemical that is dangerous to the population (cliche huh).

Coming to the rescue is a train engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Christ Pine).

What I like about this movie?

The noise and the explosion of course. What else do you expect from an action thriller film?
And, don't you wish you were in the devil train, running 74 mph? (this is coming from a person who think 100 times before taking a roller coaster ride)
Plus, the movie takes place in Pennsylvania =)
Denzel and Christ's acting were great too.

Overall I'll give it a 7/10 for lack of originality.

Hanamizuki

I'm looking forward to watching this movie. It was released on August in Japan.
Although I'm not a big fan of this genre (slow romance), but I'll watch it for the sake of Aragaki Yui.
Isn't she cute? Her smile is so bright ne. Plus Ikuta Toma is in the movie as well.
So yeah, more reasons to watch it.

December

It's December FTW. December!!!


1 week to go before my final exam week.
Of the 5 subjects that I take this semester, I think that so far I did pretty well in 4 of the subjects.
However, I have a VERY bad feeling about the other subject. I hope everything goes well.


It's snowing finally. Pretty late considering that the first snow fell on October/November on the previous years.


Ja.

 

Cute Maru holding a giant frog. Watch here

你是我的天使

I heard this song for the first time a while ago.

And now I can't stop listening to it.

Angel by Mayday.

The lyrics are simple yet meaningful.

Do listen peeps 五月天－天使.

Finding new good songs always make my day.

It's just like a 'eureka' moment to me :)

What have I been watching lately 3

1. The Mirror (1997)
A movie turn documentary. Weird but still I kept watching it for the sake of not wanting to waste it. (3/5)

2. Offside (2006)
I just realized as I write this review that the director of this movie, Jafar Panahi is the same person who directed The Mirror. The story managed to move me. (4/5)

3. In this World (2002)
A docudrama (first time coming across this term) portraying the journey of 2 Afghan refugees. (4/5)

What have I been watching lately 2

Not so lately as the title goes. But I really feel like writing about them. These movies are graphically awesome. You can definitely tell that they put so much money into these movies. It's a good thing that all of them are box-office films.

1. Hero (2002)
I like how they play with color to indicate the different point of views.

2. House of Flying Daggers (2004)
The twist at the end is perfect. I, at least, didn't expect it.

3. Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)
Jay Chou FTW!!! And oh my... don't you wish to live in a palace like that?

4. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)
Only early this year that I finally had the chance to watch it. The love story in the desert is cute.

5. Red Cliff I (2008), Red Cliff II (2009)
Tony Leung FTW!!! Zhao Wei's love story is very touching, I cried when the man she love died :(

6. Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon (2008)
The story also explain the battle of Red Cliff. It's weird though to watch this movie right after watching Red Cliff since the characters are portrayed differently.

Making full use of my local library membership, I rent many CDs each week. Here are some of them:

1. Memento (2000)
This movie does give me a headache since the scenes are presented in a reverse order to portray the feeling of a person suffering from anterograde amnesia. Very creative although at the end I went "What? He's the one who.....". (4/5)

2. Paris, je t'aime aka Paris, I love you (2006)
A nice collection of several shorts stories although not all of them are my taste. (3/5)

3. Le Grand Voyage (2006) 

A very interesting story about a journey of a father and a son driving a car to Mekah. (4/5)

4. Linda Linda Linda (2005)

A story about 3 Japanese high school girls and a Korean exchange students practicing for their school festival. Very heartwarming and refreshing. I was so surprised to see Matsuyama Kenichi aka L plays a small role in this movie. (4/5)
