Wth I don’t remember writing this and I certainly don’t remember putting it up on this site.
But I guess I did write it… funny how the internet can preserve your stuff when it has been long lost in both your mind and your file cabinet.
Too bad I probably have to pay to get MY OWN piece of work back, complete.
Taking advantage of the 30 dollar/movie deal at the cinema downstairs, I finally finished watching all 5 best picture nominees! This is the first year where I’ve actually seen all the nominees. I gotta say, the front runners were a little boring. I wonder if I will ever understand the “art” in say a movie like “No country for old men”. What is it they were trying to portray? The evils of life in Texas?
Why does it have to be so bloody and gory?
The movie that I did like, Michael Clayton, only gathered one award, Tilda Swindon for Best Supporting Actress. This movie got mixed reviews – most Hong Kong audiences found it cliched, and mundane, and too many tangents – but I appreciated the subtle portrayal of Clooney’s character – a brilliant fixer who had so many areas of his life that he failed to ‘fix’ himself. Noone is perfect, and noone can have it all.
Juno wasn’t bad too, but I guess Ellen Page is a little green to win the actress award. My dad really wants to see “LaVie en Rose” just because he’s in love with that song, but I have a feeling he’s fall asleep in the cinema.
On a side note – I saw Vincent, Yin Da Gor, and Kawaii of åŒäº‹ä¸‰åˆ†è¦ª at Elements today. They were eating noodles at the noodle place – and sat in the “car”seat facing the mall corridor! I was kind of staring and Kawaii and Yin Da Gor kinda starred back. What was interesting – I saw them not once, but after I went home and came back 3 hours later, I saw them again, coming out of the Sunglasses Store! This time my parents also saw – but why can’t they let me see Esther…
I recently realised- after 13 years of adoring Esther Kwan, I’ve never actually seen her in person. I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance?
