Black Eyed Peas - Money Business Album

I've been listening to thier Monkey Business album recently. Good lyrics.

Keane - Spiralling

Keane's song Spiralling in album Perfect Symmetry is wonderful. Like his voice a lot.

HSM3's soundtrack is superb too.

Travis new album Ode to J Smith is so-so.

Hancock (2008), Get Smart (2008), The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008), 88 Minutes (2007), High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)

Haven't updated for quite a while, watched a lot of movies during these months.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)'s plot is kind of seen-it-before. The storyline doesn't make sense. But CGs are good!

88 Minutes (2007) is about the 88 threatening minutes of Al Pacino. Not a very remarkable movie.

I wanna produce an Indiana Jones 4 spoof. I just need a hat and a whip!

Hancock (2008) Trailer

Thumbs up for Hancock. Charlize Theron is so pretty and her character is tough. Like her a lot.

Get Smart (2008) Trailer

Get Smart (2008) is American version Johnny English. Silly and makes you laugh.

The Magic Hour is a Japanese movie. The theme is clear and each scene is relevant to the theme. There are a lot of gags. Interesting and fun to watch! Recommended.

I watched High School Musical 2 before. High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) (HSM 3)'s songs are fabulous. The broadway style scene for the song I Want It All is cool. There's so much more to talk about the movie~

Magnolia (1999)

Magnolia (1999) Trailer

The songs of the movie are so compelling, especially Wise Up and Save Me by Aimee Mann. 9 characters are bonded together by strange events on the same day. Life is more interactive than you think it is. This is another movie that I must re-watch after I Heart Huckabees!

And I watched a lighter comedy How To Steal A Million featuring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. It is less excited that I think it is.

But I must say 3D version of Journey to the Centre of the Earth is spectacular! Even the subtitle pops out! Very interesting. I can expect when the special effects of 4D version would come out, e.g. breezes when the characters are falling, water splashes when they are near water, etc. That is fun!

Good Charlotte - The Chronicles of Life and Death & Good Morning Revival Album

The Chronicles of Life and Death Album and...


Good Morning Revival Album...are two splendid albums!

I like the remix version of "Put Your Hands Off My Girl". I love Pop & Rock!

I've been listening to quite a number of good albums recently, e.g. Keane's Under the Iron Sea, Orange Range's Ikenai Taiyo.

For TV, I like the voice of Robin Hood so much. Hotel Babylon is on season 3 now. Pace of the programme is so well-controlled. Life on Mars is a bit boring. Maybe I'm not that into 1970's. Though Damages is just a TV drama, I think it's quite bloody real. We're forcing ourselves to do something "right". But is that what we want? Who can determine who and what is right? Heard that there is a second season.

Do you know the difference between director/ filmmaker/ producer? I'll tell you next time.

Komaneko

I watched the short clips of the cat making dolls and and shooting them. It got me because I have shot my dolls too. It is hard to place them in position while shooting from the other side. The lighting, the props, the actors, the scripts, the sound, the editing. It is complicated yet fun to direct a movie.

I shall produce my masterpiece very soon. Stay tuned.

Sex And The City (2008)

Sex and The City Trailer

The opening is so powerful. It's brief but gets to the point. It's a nice movie to watch but not very memorable. Some people cried for the scene on the Brooklyn Bridge. The costumes are fabulous. It's like a fashion show. I'll give it a 3 out of 5.

Travis - Under the Moonlight

Under the Moonlight is a great song. Battleships' lyrics are fantastic. I'm crazy about this band now. The MTVs are humorous. Really good music. I like their accent.

There are so many good bands in Britain. And I like indie bands.

Film critic, The OC Season 4

The O.C. Season 4 Promo

It's so ironic that in the OC 4, Summer said why don't Seth be a film critic.
It's easy to point out the shortcomings of others but it's hard to see our own.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) Trailer

The is adopted from the second out of seven books of Narnia. It's been a long time since the first chronicle. I can hardly remember the storyline. But everything seems so familiar. The lion, the witch, the four brothers and sisters, the war, the beasts... The movie is quite long and boring sometimes. CGs are good. The movie is not very remarkable, nonetheless, it's worth watching yet another enchanted story.
