to be colorful

Last night I watched a movie called “the heartbreak kid” on HBO. It’s a very typical ferrally brothers movie. Farrelly brothers’ movie is always full of comedy, fun, nudity(?) etc. One of their famous movies was “there’s something about Mary”, which I believe most of people have watched it. That movie also brought Cameron Diaz to even more popular and made her an American sweetheart. So, for this movie “the heartbreak kid”, the main actor is also Ben Stiller, who is an intellegent and famous comedien actor in the U.S. He acted quite well in this movie. He brought out the spirit of a man with bad luck and his facial appereances were always so… full of different kinds of complicated emotions.

There’re two actresses in the movie. For the first actress Malin Akerman, the blonde girl, well, she sacrficed a lot in the movie, because she had to do many unlovely behaviors. The second girl shown in the latter part was Michelle Monaghan. She’s very cute and sweet. I quite like her part in the show and her figure was very pretty as well.

For the story itself, not really special or new. It’s typical Farrelly brothers’ style. So, if you’re tired and just want to see a movie to relax or to laugh. This one probably is a good choice, because you don’t have to think in the movie. All you do is laugh and have fun. But, it’s not a movie with high class or profound meanings. So, don’t be surprised if you see quite many inappropriate behaviors in it.

Wow, hanven’t logged on the blog for so long and haven’t written anything for so long. Lately I’ve watched quite a few movies. I’d like to share some thoughts for the movies here.

Firstly, of course, the hot “Avatar”. I have to say I’m not quite into this movie even though so many people like it and thought it’s incredible. I do like the amazing technical of it but the story isn’t really that special and different. It said a guy went to Avatar and had relationships with residents there. And of course, the good people win even though so many people died in the end. Anyway, the amazing techniques are quite good. Manay people like the 3D shown in this movie. So, if interested in tech show, can go see it and should be fond of it.

(My rating for "Avatar": 8/ 10)

Secondly is the movie “the Proposal”. Actually I didn’t go to a movie theater for it. I watched from my laptop. So, still, not quite enjoyed but the story is quite interesting. It said a female supervisor would like to have citizenship in the US and she came up with an idea to get married to her employee. Of course in the end the two people accidentally fell in love… Well, to me, it’s too much hollywood feelings. Too unreal and not possible happened in the real lives. Sandra Block in this film acted good. However, I like her more while she’s in “Miss Congeniality”.

Few days ago, I saw a movie "Enchanted", a very loving and adorable movie. Well, I have to admit that I haven't seen fairy tale movies or cartoons for so long- I think that is because as in my age, it's hard for me to believe in beautiful fairy tales. However, while I was seeing this movie, the beautiful melody and romantic story (ok, not really very much romantic) totally led me back to the age while I still bought disney stories. I think a small part of me still hasn't died. Deeply inside my mind, I still would like to believe in beautiful and romantic stories. I have to say the loving and warm songs totally drew me into disney stories- this is why I still can sing the theme songs in "little mermaid", "beauty and the beast", "lion king". Ha, I remember while I was in junior high, disney songs are some of my favorite. Both the melody and lyrics are so touching. Anyway, "Enchanted" is really a good movie. It is about a princess fell into NY city and tried to wait for her prince to save her. However, everyone knows that NY city is completely unrelevent to "happily ever after". So, you can understand there is so much conflicts between the princess and the guy who saved her in NY city, a guy who is a lawyer for divorce cases! However the story goes to unexpected way. The pricess started to re-think about the "happily ever after" and a brand new word to her- "date". The songs are pretty and the story is fun. I strongly recommend this movie to you all! You will feel again the strength and be in a good mood after seeing this movie!

(My rating: 8.5/ 10)

Yesterday I saw a movie called “Mystic River”. I must say it’s a good movie. Even though this movie is with slow pace, the story of it is so good that I couldn’t leave the TV. (I had to push stop button and run to kitchen and got some water.) The story is about three friends and how a murder caused changes among them. How the differences among them appeared with an ugly way. How their thoughts, lives changed. The best part would be the three actors’ performance, and also the tension in this movie. It’s a story with mystery. You won’t find out the answer until you see it till the end. The three actors are very popular actors in movies- Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Beckon. Though it’s a good movie, compared to the Shawshank Redemption, I like Shawshank Redemption better, because it’s with more meaning in it. Anyway Mystic River is a good movie too. The mystic atmosphere and the astonishing story are quite intriguing. I’ll recommend this movie to my friends if they’d like to see some mystery movie.

Today I went to see a popular taiwanese movie "Cape No.7". Hm, this was really a good and touching movie. It took me to the old time while I was a kid living in the countryside. It brought back many memories to me. The scenery, the people in the movie, the music- all these gave me lots of nostalgic feelings. I felt like I went back to the time while I was just a little kid and had a life without any worries. The people in the movie were sincere, fun and full of energy. They just showed the loveliness of taiwanese people. The music were so warm and touching. I got nostalgic a lot while I watched it. There was a song I like "野玫瑰". When I was in chorus in elementary school, this song was the one we practiced a lot. Below are the lyrics of this song. Share with you all and strongly recommend you to see this movie. You'll love it!

清らに咲ける　その色めでつ

Today on HBO, it played a well-kown movie "the shawshank redemption". It was about stories in prison and human nature. There were lines I liked- "laws are made to be broken", and "keep busy living or keep busy dying". I loved this movie a lot, not only because the  great story but also the many good lines which made people think deeply on everything in lives. Do we keep busy living? Or dying? We should think more on this. Anyway, strongly suggest you all to see this movie. It will give you a lot to reflect.
