It's complicated a movie review

Sigh...I wanted to write so much movie reviews! like the movie A single man, which is directed by Tom Ford. However, Since I watched "It's complicated" and I genuinely love it, I do have a strong motivation to write a review of this nice movie.

okay, lets talk about the story. I am not going to spoil the movie by telling the whole storyline, all I can say is the story is strong and solid, yet I still hear people who in the forum are complaining about how unrealistic the setting of the movie was. The movie was set in a upper-class family who live in Santa Barbara, California. Jane, portrayed by Meryl Streep, own a FANCY bakery shop and her ex-husband, Jake, portrayed by Alec baldwin, is a successful lawyer. I do agree with that accusation in some degree since all the characters don't seem to have anything to worry about except their relationship state and if they don't have enough to drink, yet, I don't think it affects the thing that this very movie wants to tell their audiences, because this kind of complication in relationship does exist in every level of living, and it the fact that this old couple are successful just makes them have less side factors to concern about and be able to think and act in a mature way. (think about if Jane is just a poor women who have to rise three children herself, would she even need to think about if her husband tell her he wants to go back to her?).

One the thing that I really enjoy in this movie is all the characters actually think, especially Jane, unlike most of the Hollywood movie characters who only think in one direction, the character would think about why she does certain things the situation, she doubt, she hesitated and Meryl's delivered it perfectly. Other actors, such as Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, also did a very good job in this movie. I just have to say I love this sort of old people movie. Yes, the characters suffered in the movie, but they also know how to enjoy their live. Seeing those characters were easy to be impressed by every little thing, like having chocolate croissant and smoking pot, makes me very happy too. I have to say although the situation of these two old couple is complicated, the way that the story is narrated is very articulate, and the complicated situation came very naturally by the weave of different events and emotions. The other good things about this two hours long movie is it doesn't even have a single boring moment, and there are lots of humors scenes and they would just make you burst into laughter. However, the only negative thing I want to say about this movie, which is not even a big deal, is since the scenes are so tightly arranged, few scenes were cut so suddenly from sad to humors and from humors to sad, sometime you would just found yourself riding on a emotional roller coaster, but over all it is still one of the this best dramas of it's kind. I really recommend it. Oh, lastly.....humm......I personally, found John Krasinski very very very cute in this movie, I've never watch The Office, I dont know how he's like in The office , but in this movie, he is just how I want my boyfriend to be!!!!!!!!!!!!awwwwwwwwww >w< (sorry, I'm a bit of an idiot here!! but i can't help myself!)

TureBlooding ep11

Okay, I know I said I was going to talk about the guy who I DID NOT meet in Vancouver in this post but I just can't not talk about trueblood



Since I was in Vancouver when the last episode was aired and I didn't have a chance to watch it until few days ago.



I have to say the last episode of the famous vampire series is very disappointing! When it started to show the end credits I was like "what the fuck? It’s finished? No way!". That entire episode only included trash talks between Jason and Andy, the boring scene of Bill staying in the vampire queen's mansion and Lafayette's stupid panic over Eric. I have no fucking clue why Sookie would lay down with that old guy in her house for so long with no reason, It was just stupid. I really hope all the boredom this episode has is just the strategy of presenting the season finale, which is going to air two weeks later.

Cross-dressing Eric, cute!

if you want to see more alexander skarsgard do cross-dressing, you might want to check out the movie Kill your darlings.

Have you drunk TrueBlood today? ep10

minor spoiler attention: this post contains minor spoilers of the TV show TrueBlood episode 10

I KNEW IT, I knew sookie is more then just a telepathic and she has the power to destroy that bitch Maryann. I knew it! really!

but wait...Sookie Stackhouse, how could you have sex with Eric!?!? Huh?? How could you do this to Bill !? I know Eric is super hot, but still...you've got yourself a handsome vampire already, girl, you got to learn to embrace of what you have and stop being greedy.

So far the story is going as I predicted - When Bill left sookie to found helps from Lorena, Sookie will somehow be in a danger position again and Eric will save her life once again at the very last minute then Sookie will fall in love with him after then. Sigh......poor Bill, I will totally take you if Sookie is really going to leave you for Eric. Hey, here my neck (yes, I am proud to be a gay fang-banger).

By the way, there is actually another Hottie in the show that I really like. Nope, not Jason. Its Terry!!

Terry Belleflur is played by Todd Lowe. He is sosoosososososo Cute, He looks like a gentle teddy bear in the show!!

Have you drunk TrueBlood today? ep9

minor spoiler attention: this post contains minor spoilers of the TV show TrueBlood episode 9

wahhh!!!!!

OMG!! Today's episode is sososo good!!

key scenes in today's TrueBlood:
Sookie sucked Eric (you have to see why !!)
Yaoi scene between Eric and Godric!!! ( I love it !!!)

Eric was being such a bad ass it made him even more attractive! Damn!

this episode also starts the classic battle between a gentleman (Bill) and a bad boy (Eric), just like many other "love battles" like Mark and Daniel in Bridget Jones's Diary, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal at the Wimbledon glass field, lol

Who would you choose if you were sookie??

you know Bill is always my favorite character through out the whole show, not only because he is very mature, both body and mind (yes I admit i like mature guys and he is exactly my type), but also he is so sincere, gentle, caring. the part that he almost kill himself to save sookie at the last season's finale it just melts my heart......sniff*

HOWEVER, since there are more and more depictions on Eric's character I start gradually liking him now(when I first start watching the series Eric is nothing but a bad ass with supper pretty face). But now it shows that he could be quite gentle too (at least to the one that he likes, like sookie). Therefore if the show continues showing the tenderness of him (I am sure it will), i will not be able to resist to fall for him just like how sookie will (i am sure).

please allow me to predict whats going to happen between Bill, Eric and Sookie in the later episodes. Bill will make a big mistake by putting sookie in risk again (he has done it million times) and since Eric is able to sense sookie now he is able to save her life in time and that is when sookie start falling for him and start dating him. At the same time bill feels really guilty by putting sookie in risk again and decides to let go of her and go back to Lorena. However, Eric finally realize who sookie really love is not him but stupid Bill. Therefore he would finally let her go back to Bill.

Sookie sucked Eric........'s chest!!!

Godric's love confession to Eric.

awwwwwww, poor lovers. lol

District 9 Review

*Spoiler Attention : skip this post if you're planning to watch this movie

I used to write a lot of film reviews when I was younger because I think the analyzing process would make me be able to appreciate/depreciate the film even more. However, since I've seen more movie as i grew older, I also have more insight in movies. It makes it really hard to write a decent review to cover every aspect of the film. However, since I've got this blog, I think I should share my thoughts here, at least those films that i enjoy watching and i am writing the movie "district 9" today.

First of all, I must say this movie is really good

Allow me to broke the movie down into different categories so i could express better.

Storyline/plot: Honestly the major story line isn't that impressive. Aliens who are stuck on earth for 20 years wants to found a way out and one of them ends up team up with a mutated human to against the avaricious government who wants to have the control of the alien weapon. However, what it really impresses me is the message behind his story and the way of how its presented. The setting of the story raise up a bunch of interesting questions:

First, Why there are so much similarities between this alien and human? why alien has to similar to human at all? They are aliens!!! they could be in any form and any size that we have not yet seen in our planet. However, In this movie, they are not only having similar body size, body figure, but also similar emotions, psychological mind set and even language as human (these high intelligent creatures use the vibration of air (sound) to deliver messages just like how human does! ha! how amazing!) . I seriously think this is a deliberate idea,humanizing the aliens, to create the metaphor of how strong nations treat the "alienated" nations.

Why those aliens have greater intelligence but they act like savages on earth?

Why don't they have a huge attack against human with their powerful weapon?

I think all of those questions are led to the same question - How Human treats others who are different from us (or majority) when we know/think we have more power over "them".

Character development: Brilliant! One of common problem in Hollywood productions is characters are usually too flat. What I meant by "flat" is in those Hollywood movies, good guys are only presented as a good guy and bad guys only do bad things and they can never "think" and "change". However, in this movie, the depiction of characters' mind are so well presented especially the main character, Wikus, the good guy in the movie, however, as the story goes by it shows more and more flaws in his personality. The depictions of the changes of his mind set are so well done it really surprised me.

Acting: excellent. The movie is basically only led by the main character, Wikus, who is played by Sharlto Copley, originally a screen writer and movie producer, I just can't believe this is his first movie and I seriously think he would trump over most of the so-called Hollywood actors if he tries to be a full time actor. As i said, since there are lots psychological changes in the main character's mind through out the entire movie, his interpretation of the character is so well it perfects his performance.

Cinematography: Very well done as well. Obviously this is not the first movie that shot as a documentary (I am sure lots of people recalls Cloverfield when they watch this movie). However, in my opinion, I think the cinematography in this movie is slightly better then cloverfield because the control of the balance of between being too documentary or movie like is handled very well. Moreover, audience wouldn't feel dizzy after watching it like after watching Cloverfield.

In my opinion, although this movie might not be a classic, it definitely is one of the best movie in the same category. :)

District 9 official Trailer

Owen Wilson & Woody Harrelson - You guys are so cute!

photos source : http://laragmag.com

These photos are taken when they were in Portofino, Italy

I am not a big fan of Wilson brothers, i think Wilson brothers (luke and owen) are one of the most horrible actors in Hollywood. On the other hand, I actually quite like Woody Harrelson and his acting and his craziness in his acting. Honestly i think This is very hot since both guys look very straight, especially Woody. Anyone remember Woody Harrelson in Will and Grace? he is once grace's boyfriend and he is super straight in that role (well, he played a lot of manly role in general). Therefore It makes these photos even hotter to watch! hmmmm I guess Woody is the top and Owen is the bottom if they are really couples :P
