I saw it from netflix. I think I saw it before but yesterday as netflix put it on the front page, I saw it again. It is a movie with philosophy and warmth- especially the dialogue between the professor and will - regarding life/ achiement/ goal/ love. 

Will is a talented but lost young kid and he needs a guide and a friend who is with wisdom, and luckily the professor/ shrink he met is the one - whom played by robin williams, who also plays a teacher in a movie "dead poet society".

There are many profound phrases/ dialogues in this movie - "what do you want to do?" "what are you passionate for?" "When do you know she is the one?" 

To be honest, I don't know the answers either and I know that life is not easy. Life is a mystery/ an adventure/ a training/ a path/ a question to us. But maybe what we can do is just to live and mostly there're difficulties- we'll learn to face and deal with them and continue to move forward. 

I think not all the memories are happy but since things happen in our lives and each of us are different and on our own paths. Maybe we'll understand eventually and proceed.

I watched the Godfather before but only have vague memories. All I remember is the beautiful theme song and background music.

Yesterday I watched it again on netflix, which I signed up for half year so I can watch a lot of stuff if there's time. The movie is a masterpiece! The storyline, the interpretation, the camera shooting and music! It is one of the best without question and it was made in 1972! before I was born.

Although movies nowadays are always with advanced technology and colorful graphics, I still love the old movies- the ones which have the atmosphere and focusing on stories.

I don't know if the Corleone-style families still exist in society for now but I believe if there's human, there're always problems and different types of living ways exist.

I watched this movie the other day from HBO. Acutally for all marvel movies, I only watched iron man before and never watched others even though mavel movies are super popular at for some years. 

So this is about another hero ant-man, which was played by paul rudd- a star I like very much and am impressed by his never-aging apperance too! It is quite a good move, full of humor and action and a good plot. Even though it is not as popular as iron man, I think this one is still above the average very much. Share with you. :)

I've seen this movie twice from TV, but everytime it still brought me into it. Started from the opera house in London, the beautful "Nessun Dorma" and sexy figure of the leading actress. After that, the scene was taken in Morocco, Casablanca. The storyline is very smooth and intriging. Tom Cruise of course added many astonishing action scenes and acted wonderfully. 

This one would be one of my best top 10 movies lately for sure.

I saw this documentary Educating Peter from HBO Signature few weeks ago. It was quite real. It basically would like to show a mental-disabled kid, Peter, to attend a normal elementary school and the teacher and other students there were trying to let Peter involve more in school life and meanwhile, to teach him what is right and wrong. I googled on line and found out that some critics think that is not appropriate because Peter may hit kids suddenly without any intention and it may hurt other kids. As I am not a person majoring in education, don't know if it is a right thing to let a mental-disabled kid to be involved in a group. What I saw from the documentary is that kids and teachers at that school are like angels. They're kind and willing to help. I think that is the most touching part in it. The kind humanity.

I saw this documentary in HBO signature last week (gotta say HBO signature has so many good ones). It said about Republicans in the Middle East of USA. After seeing it, I finally understand why Trump won for this election - that is so many people in countryside and they have strong opinions. It just that the main stream media don't care about them and ignore them. The media goes after intellectuals and the rich, well-educated people. That is why after this presidential election, I saw from the hosts in cnn/ nbc etc and they all have shocking faces (which means their jaw dropped). 

This documentary well described the situation in the middle-east, south of USA and the voices of the residence then. This explains everything.

I saw this movie on HBO last night. Can't say it's a good one but Hugh Jackman then was really young and cute. So as Meg Ryan. Speaking of Meg Ryan, my favorite of her movies would be Sleepless in Seattle. That one reallly was a good one (Co-star with Tom Hanks). Especially the songs. There're many good old songs in that move. Anyway, Kate and Leopold was saying about a duke accidentally went to the future in New York. And met the working lady Kate and fell in love.. The plot is a cliche but if you want to see young Hugh Jackman, this one you can see it. :)

I know it's a bit late to write an article about this movie Interstellar. But honestly, this is one of the best movies I saw in 2014. 

Firstly, it's about the universe, the glaxy, the unknown - which brought me to a special place I couldn't imagine. The planets outside from the earth. The astonishing view and atmosphere, especially the wave, which is so hard for us to imagine, but we can see it in this movie (just like the big whale in Life of Pi). Personally I like seas a lot, and this may be another reason that I like this movie so much. 

And another reason is the actors are doing great in it. Matthew McConghey did a wonderful job to play a dad. I was deeply touched by his performances. Also the director Chris Nolan is such a creator that he gave us a masterpiece to watch even if we don't have the change to travel to other planets. 

I heard that Chris Nolan's Inception is even better than Interstellar, but haven't had the chance to watch Inception. But anyway, strongly suggest Interstellar for you can see so many beautiful planets and imagination in it.

I watched this movie the other day. It actually was an old movie back in 2001. But I still was touched by it, especially the pure love. The main girl character was a very pretty girl but had a heart-breaking story in love. The boy accidentally met her and they started a fun and loving relationship. 

It is hard to believe pure love in the world nowadays. But I do believe most people deep inside our hearts still have faith on it. Yes, faith in "love".

Last weekend I went to see "the internship". Since I'm working in IT industry, I'm quite interested in the movie because it's about "google". I wanted to see those smart people in google and also the two comdians I like a lot - Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. But quite disappointing, it turned out it isn't that much an interesting movie. I watched "wedding crashers" before so I like Wilson and Vaughn's performances, even though sometimes they're full of low-end jokes. However, "the internship" has no excitement, or I should say no newness. Honestly I was looking forward to something like "the social network", or even better.

So, compared to other similar movies like "the social network", I have to say "the social network" is better. As I know that the movie about Jobs will come soon. I don't know how good it is. But since it's about "Jobs", it has to be Very Good. Otherwise the legend and fans would be mad I believe.

This is one of the most astonishing and amazing movie I've ever seen. For that I'm a sea lover, especially for the mysteric creature in the deep deep sea, this movie fulfilled the fantasy I dream about the sea.

Even though this movie is really not about the sea creature or fiction or motion, this is actually about brevity and love (from my perspective). I still think the most attractive part for me is the spectacular scene in the move - the beautiful blue sea, the sky, the countless fish, the killing tides, the deserted islet, and the whale! I admit that mostly the scene itself just simply attracted me, no matter what the story wanted to tell.

Strongly suggest to see "Life of Pi" because not only this story wanted to tell us a lesson - to face the fear and learn how to deal with and be together with it, but also it had so many fish and so much nature that we can see only with one ticket price - that is worthless!

This movie said about the relationship between a father and a son. The father raised his son with all his efforts and hoped him to be a musician. Even though he was not his birth-father, he worked hard for money and used all his resources to push this little boy to the top. The story is not new to us but with the beautiful music and the great actors, all these make this movie so good that everytime I saw this movie, I was deeply moved always. The little boy's confusion on music and pure love on the pretty lady. The father's efforts and love. The professor's teaching and cruelty. Most important of all, the great music. I alwasy love seeing movies which has great music, because it makes the movie alive. Strongly suggest to see this movie. We can see the pure parental love in it.

I went to see "The Social Net work" today. It was a great movie. It describes a story about the founder of the famouse "Facebook". The actors played vividly just like Havard students. The lives on campus looked so familiar yet far away. The genius founder is a person not good at networking however is so dedicated on computer stuff and is born to be a creator of something (because he is a genius). According to the movie, the whole networking website initaited actually because Mark (the FB founder) was pissed of his ex-girlfriend leaving him. And at the same time, he also was inspired by some of his friends and then the famous Facebook was founded. It is a movie which can bring us back to the campus life and audience would think it is so familiar because it is about Facebook- the website most of us would have an account of.

"Psycho" and "Misery" are two masterpieces. Both the two movies are very much well-known as best horror movies. "Psycho" was a movie directed by Hitchcock, who was deemed as the master for making horror and scary movies. Even though this movie was made some decadeds ago, as we watched it now, it still had the strong scary atmosphere. There were some classic images in it- the killer stabbed the woman behind the curtain, the reflections from the mirrors, the lonely house on the other side from the motel- all these made the movie classical.

For "Misery", it said a well-known writer had a car accident and was rescued, unfortunately, by one of his big fans, who was a mentally-disordered psycho. He was kidnapped by her and had a miserable life since then. It was an astonishing movie too. The actress Kathy Bates played vividly as a crazy killer in the movie.

These two movies are very popular and well-known as horror movies. If you are a fan of horrors, you shouldn't miss these two.

I've always wanted to write about this movie because it is really a weird one. When I was an exchange student in the US, I went to see this "cult movie" with my friends and really found it, well, weird. It said a couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and stay in a house where have many bizzare people. They sing and dance and wear abnormal costumes. As I said, it is a so-called cult movie, so when I was in the theater, the whole audience could sing along with every line in the movie! Furthermore, some of them dressed like the actors in the movie! There were hosts during the show and they'd have interactions with the audience! It should be so far one of my exciting experiences. So, if there's a chance to join this kind of cult movies, please do try it. It is fun!

Last night there was a movie shown on HBO called "Get Smart", a fun comedy. It's about two agents (spies), agent 23 Max and sexy agent 99, working together for an assignment but facing many difficulties due to Max's stupid moves. The two leading actors, Steve Carrell and Ann Hathaway, are two of most popular movie actors now. Steve Carrell always played clumsy role and is a successful comedien. Ann Hathaway is known for her beauty and sexy figure and plays every role quite well. It's always joyful to see such a beauty to play sexy role. They are becoming quite a perfect match in the end of the movie. If you need to relax and want to see a movie to bring you good moods, this would be a good choice.

I've seen this movie several times. Honestly, it is not as good as I imagined. At first, I was attracted to the two famous actresses, Kate Hudson and Ann Hathaway. They're so popular and beautiful and I felt that I must see the movie. I've seen several movies starred by them and they're all quite good. However, for this movie "bride war", I felt it is just ok. Not very exciting or anything special. The good part might be the two actresses wearing those beautiful dresses and gowns. That was the best scene in it. But anyway, they're still good actresses to me.

My rating: 6.7/ 10

I saw a movie "Beowulf" on HBO today. Actually I've seen it with a guy friend when it showed on theaters. My guy friend recommended it and that's why I saw it in the first place- because normally I never see action movies.:p

This movie was about a hero called Beowulf, who killed lots of monsters and was known for his bravity during that times. One day he went to a country and said he'd kill the sea witch which frightened the country people a lot. He went to the place where the bitch lived and he went back to the country and claimed he killed it, which was a lie- because instead of it, he and that beautiful, attractive witch had a monster baby, which haunted him a lot in the latter of his life... Beowulf made a mistake just like the old king did.

The story wasn't really special but the figures in the movie were quite unique. They were appeared in unreal figures, but, they also all looked so real- thanks to the advanced movie technology. And there're full of figures of strong men and beautiful women and weird, frightening monsters. Frankly speaking, I like it better than Avatar. Strongly recommend this moive if you're an action movie fan.

(My rating: 8/ 10)

This movie is a bit like the movie "He's just not that into you". It talked about relationship between men and women. It is about a career woman, Abby, who worked hard and was not good at relationship. She's beautiful, smart and had a good profile, but she's not that clever when it came to relationships. Accidentally she had the chance to work with a man who claimed he's good at knowing what guys want and the tricks to catch a man. So, he taught Abby how to get a man succesfully. Finally she did succeed. However, she realized she was trying to be a girl who was totally unlike her. She should be with a guy who understands, knows her.

It was starred by Katherine Heigl, who also was in grey's anatomy, and Gerard Butler. Katherine Heigl has an easy-to-get-together trait. In movies, she always shows her big smile which was really adorable to audiences. Gerard Butler has a not easy-going feeling. However, in this movie, he showed the other side of his characteristic. Surprisingly, they're quite a perfect match in this movie. If you'd like to know the so-called "ugly truth", you may try it. It's quite entertaining and might really have some meaningful truth to you.

(My rating: 7/ 10)

When I saw the trailer of "Alice in Wonderland", I was thinking definately I'll go see when it shows in theaters. And yesterday I did go see the movie and kinda of felt disappointed after seeing it. Undoubtedly the images of every character was so actracting and "colorful". Every character has their own personality and their special costumes. Red queen always wore strange clothes with big and funny prints. White queen wore white and clean clothes. Hatter wore funny clothes and alwasy spoke with funny tones and behaved weird. These characters were interesting and vivid. But, the story itself in the movie was kinda slow. My friends and I almost fell asleep during the mid of the movie.

Actually as I can recall the original story of "Alice in Wonderland" should be interesting and full of imagination. I remember when I was a kid, I also imagined there's a total other place that is like the place in wonderland. Someday I may fall into that perticular hole and accidentally be in that world and have an exciting journey. Actually I still believe so now. But that's just to think for fun. The movie was lack of intense feelings and dramatic plots. I do think it should be much better instead of a slow movie like now.

(My rating: 6/ 10)
