I don’t think it has anything to do with aging (I hope). It was a pretty hectic week at work. In some instances, you can almost measure how overloaded one is by observing the number of mistakes one begins to make. I read the showtime of 17:30 as 7.30pm, which was obviously wrong. Saturday traffic [...]

Apple Of My Eye – A Taiwanese Movie, A Nostalgic One For Me
October 10th, 2011 No Comments
How many of us end up spending the rest of our lives with our school day sweethearts? Do you remember the time when love was so awkward, so childish? We kept on reading and sending the signals wrongly, but yet our puppy love affair appeared to be at the center of our universe, all that [...]

Watching Break Up Club The Second Time
July 17th, 2011 2 Comments
If you recall, one night I had a terrible insomnia. And one of the few activities I did awake in my supposed sleeping hours was to watch the Blu-ray version of a Hong Kong movie called “Break Up Club” on my TV (wearing my wireless headset of course). I love it so much that when [...]

A French Movie “Beautiful Lies” Starring Audrey Tautou
July 10th, 2011 4 Comments
Oh yes. I absolutely adore Audrey Tautou. Has it been two years since she graced our local theaters? It certainly seems so. One time, I met one of my readers in person, all because of Audrey Tautou. He is a fan of Audrey; I am a fan; our movie buddy TK is a fan; and [...]

Natali – The Korean Erotic Film In 3D, And What Could’ve Been
March 31st, 2011 No Comments
When asked, my replied to Cynthia was, “Too much talking, not enough drama.” She laughed, in broad daylight, “Not enough sex you mean?” It was my turn to laugh, “No, no, no. I really mean not enough drama.” It was a beautiful Thursday afternoon. I could have felt much happier, if not for that sad, [...]

No Strings Attached – And The Portman Fever Continues
February 21st, 2011 No Comments
I was expecting worse, partly influenced by the mixed reviews. But as a fan of Portman, it would be a crime to give “No Strings Attached” a miss. I do not love her less after watching this romance comedy. Natalie Portman remains as a versatile and witty actress. And she has good [...]

I Give My First Love To You – Cry Baby, Cry!
October 23rd, 2010 3 Comments
One lesson I learned: Try not to bring your partner to watch a Japanese (or Korean for that matter) romance movie after her makeup workshop. Cynthia was weeping profusely throughout the movie, like the rest of the girls around us in the theater. I had no idea it was that emotional. The title sounds harmless. [...]

The main character played by Romain Duris together with his sister and his brother-in-law have made a profession out [...]

Au Revoir Taipei – Comically Cute
July 31st, 2010 No Comments
Friday evening. Time to celebrate the end of a rather long week of work. I picked a Taiwanese romance comedy. Cynthia wondered why the randomness of my choice. Because we seldom watch Chinese movies. At the end of the movie, Cynthia was pleasantly surprised. And I was pleasantly surprised by her not hating it. I [...]

I Enjoy Watching New York I Love You
January 24th, 2010 10 Comments
Despite the mixed review, if I am to examine why I find “New York, I Love You” a pleasurable film to watch, the list would look something like this. I enjoy reading short stories. Short stories often has a faster pace, a metaphor, and a twist as resolution. When I was younger, I found short stories [...]
