So's Reel Thoughts

DONT JUDGE ME.

ok, im not a "twilighter" but the twilight: new moon soundtrack is quite amazing. i dont know how alexandra patsavas, the music supervisor managed to get death cab for cutie, thom york!, lykke li, bon iver, and grizzly bear all in one soundtrack but its glorious!!! and despite that the soundtrack is related to twilight, be assured that it is nothing less than perfection. ok fine, im exaggerating a little but its good. im sure all the twilighters are going crazy but im sincerely just trying to say that the soundtrack propelled the film from being another teenybopper film to a time capsule of our modern day generation. there is one song is particular that makes me fall in love again and again with the soundtrack. aaaaand, it is lykke li's possibility.

There’s a possibility
There’s a possibility
All that I had was all I gon’ get
There’s a possibility
There’s a possibility
All I gon get is gone with your step

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You’re the only who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There’s a possibility
I wouldn’t know

Know that when you leave
Know that when you leave
By blood and by mean
You walk like a thieve
By blood and by mean
I fall when you leave

So tell me when you hear my heart stop,
You’re the only who knows
Tell me when you hear my silence
There’s a possibility
I wouldn’t know

Tell me when my sigh is over
You’re the reason why I’m close
Tell me if you hear me falling
There's a possibility
It wouldn’t show

By blood and by mean
I fall when you leave
By blood and by mean
I follow your lead

PLEASE VOTE AND COMMENT. AND HELP SPREAD THE NEWS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

p.s. all i have to say while watching my short is dont be afraid to think.

the coffee night girls and i saw quentin tarantino in westwood, ca on thursday! at first i dont think it registered in anyones head that it was actually him and that it was actually happening! for me, i was like " that guy looks soo much like tarantino but just chunkier...waayy chunkier" and oh my god, its him! and i was in such shock that for the first time in my life, i didnt know what to say. all that came out of me was "HOOOWS IT GOING?" hahah i think he replied, "hey girls, its goood." and walked off.

by the time we absorbed everything that happened, he was already gone. i wonder where he was going? the thought of following him entered our minds but it was too late. we can only speculate that he went to go see the coen bros' a serious man at the regent.

so there you have it! i saw spike jonze and quentin tarantino all in one week! i honestly cant believe it. my life is glourious!!! muwhahaha now, my next target: BRAD PITT.

ladies and gentlemen, on november 15 of 2009, i met spike jonze. and then EVVVERRRYTHING CHANGED. haha jk.

but yes, this past weekend at los angeles' family bookstore, spike jonze came down for the launch of his book, heads on and we shoot: the making of where the wild things are. aaaaaahhhhhmazing!

taking the words right off the family bookstore's blog,

HEADS ON AND WE SHOOT unveils the unique collaboration behind Where the Wild Things Are -the combined work of Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, Dave Eggers, and all the cast and crew. The book design is heavily image-based, a mix of early sketches, storyboards, character designs, and extensive behind-the-scenes photographs that show both incredible live-action puppetry and computer animation. The text includes forewords by Jonze and Eggers, interviews with the cast and crew, stories from on and off the set, and early drafts of the screenplay. The resulting book will be simultaneously a beautiful object for collectors, an insider′s guide for devotees, and an intimate window into the creative process.

my friend michael ebert took this and unfortunately, its the only photograph i have of him from the event. but aint he soo darn cute!!

this is how our conversation went:

shake hands

me: 2 questions. one is, what advice can you give for a fellow filmmaker?

spike jonze: wear comfortable shoes.

me: haha, always got my boots on!

family worker: oh come on, nothing like how to get into the biz?

sj: well for you as an artist, what would you recommend?

fw: i dont know, just do and make stuff

sj: (turns to me) yeah just do and make stuff

me: ok, now who is your favorite director?

sj: aww man, i dont know

me: come on make me proud!

sj: (eyes sparkle) YOU.

my favorite director is So.

me: (inside) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! omgomgomgomgogmogmgomgomogmg. kill me, i have died and gone to cinephilia heaven!!

(outside) alright! i thought you would say like i dont know stanley kubrick or something.

soo numb. i honestly walked out feeling like i just effing diiiiied!

i have really bad scanning skills. but there it is! and sooooo.... here are a few of my favorite spike jonze piiictures.

how epic is that picture with spike and brad? i repeat, not photoshopped. apparently, jonze directed a japanese commercial with brad in it.

i remember saying long time ago, "one day, i want to meet spike jonze." hahaa check! ahhh. i feel as if my life is a bit more complete now. spike actually made a bet with my friend michelle saying she wasnt in the picture she took with him. and he lost and as a prize, she got his pen. wooohoo!! all in all, it was a very successful night!

now, my next goal is just to meet daniel day-lewis or brad pitt. even breathing in the same air as both of them will suffice for a lifetime!

warning: do not read on if you are easily annoyed by overly enthusiastic people.

i dont think anyone has a clue about the passion and attachment i have to daniel day-lewis. i DO NOT care if he is 50 years old or what not. i can honestly say that he is one of the most phenomenal and mesmerizing actors i have ever laid my eyes on. daniel day-lewis and this film is my twilight fix. edward to millions of screaming tweens is daniel day-lewis to me. yes, i am the millions of screaming tweens in one body. imagine that.

and here comes a film based on my favorite italian director, federico fellini's 8 1/2. kill me. this is way too much. im probably gonna do a whole post on just the history of day-lewis' career before the film comes out. and i know i already posted this trailer before. but i think you deserve and owe it to yourself to watch it over and over and over again!!! wheew, i think im going to pass out....

AHHHHHHHHH!!! adgkjhsdkjgfjdjgsdg. how epic was that?! and yes, i think im more excited about this than toy story 3-D. there i said it! this comes out dec 18!!!

now the real question is....CAN DANIEL DAY-LEWIS SING? haha

the virgin suicides? nonono, you heard me right the first time, the bunny suicides. andy riley is the genius behind the bunny suicides. and lately, ive become obsessed with them. riley wrote the book of bunny suicides: little fluffy rabbits who just dont want to live any more back in 2003. and it created a sensation and became the bestselling collection of one image black comedy cartoons EVER!!! haha. and so by popular demand came the return of the bunny suicides in 2004.

i came across this epic creation recently when i went to barnes and was immediately attracted to the morbidly humorous 2010 planner that was the bunny suicides. after that, i was hooked. i went online and found the most entertaining and cute ones i could get my hands on. and amazingly, they have many references to iconic films of the past.

The Terminator--

stanley kubrick's dr. strangelove--

Star Trek--

Star Wars--!!

and of course, my other favs

click here for more!!!

arnt they just the effing cutest thing ever?

oh and p.s. im probably gonna get the planner. haha

kurt vonnegut has to be one of my all time fav writer and ive read most of his stories but this one. 2081 is based on his short story, harrison bergeron, which is in his book--welcome to the monkey house. i came across this trailer through multiple youtube links and it looks interesting enough. i know people may be sick of these dystopia films but as long as the picture and story is well told, i dont see a problem. apparently the film blog, filmonic is comparing the film to children of men. and let me tell you, children of men was both inspiring and heart-breaking. check it out.

p.s. i found out that 2081 is a short film that premiered at the seattle international film festival. i dont know where and how it could be seen but i just finished reading kurt vonnegut's short story, harrison bergeron and let me say that it is just simply beautiful.

ive been watching a lot of films with strong/different women characters lately. and thats what we are missing the most these days, esp in the oscar race. i heard that this year, the candidates for best actress is lacking, which is horrible. that is why, im trying to encourage and create more strong female roles in my life and in my films. thats the last thing we need, more men! ha! hehe. jk, im just busting your balls. but needless to say, we should continue making a difference in today's society as strong willing women who can be just as successful as men or even greater. god, i sound like such a feminist but its true! lets make it happen ladies...

catherine deneuve in roman polanski's repulsion.

brigitte lin in chunking express.

rinko kikuchi in the brothers bloom.

the lisbon sisters in the virgin suicides.

empty, i echo to the least footfall,

museums without statues, grand with pillars, porticoes, rotundas.

in my courtyard a fountain leaps and sinks back into itself,

nun-hearted and blind to the world. marble lilies

exhale their pallor like scent.

i imagine myself with a great public,

mother of a white nike and sever bald-eyed apollos.

instead, the dead injure me with attentions, and nothing can happen.

the moon lays a hand on my forehead,

blank-faced and mum as a nurse.

-sylvia plath

this is my second sort of experimental film. im going to get out of my experimental phase and into a narrative phase. chhhheck it out.

REALLY NEW YORK, I DO LOOOOOOOOVE YOU!!!

this film, hands down, has the best assemble of elite actors i have ever seen. like Paris Je T'aime (2006), these are vignettes of the people living in the love fused air of the big apple. but unlike, je t'aime, the stories integrate and intertwine with each other like the lives of the busy city.

Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding, The Namesake, and Amelia), Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men), Natalie Portman, and much much more directs this hugely talented cast including natalie portman, anton yelchin, julie christie, olivia thirlby, shia labeouf, bradley cooper, rachel bilson, and much much more. i honestly was gasping every five minutes from the range of actors that accumulated together to make this beautiful portrait of classic new york.

it was wonderful and very different from that of Paris Je T'aime considering the huge culture difference from both places that is essentially a blueprint for the film. and if i had to choose if i liked paris je t'aime or new york, i love you, i would have to say paris je'taime.eekk! but seriously. i should not even compare because they are completely two different work from completely different people from all over the globe.

and unlike paris, new york is a melting pot of all cultures. and thats what makes new york so much more special than any other place on this glorious and mysterious earth. and in a city that doesnt sleep (maybe vegas too?) the little incidents and moments that people share bring the inner love and makes new york the place to be for love. i love new york and plan to live there someday and possibly, i too will find love. B

Where the wild things are (2009) lived up to its hype! no joke, spike jonze has surpassed his own reputation and can easily be compared to the epicness that is michael gondry. everything in this film was so surreal and beautiful that you honestly couldnt imagine a more heavenly utopia. max records who plays max, is really a rambunctious spirit who like every kid just wants to be uninhibited. after acting out in front of his mom's (catherine keener) new boyfriend (mark buffalo), he runs away from home to the place of the wild things.

i dont want to spoil anything but just seeing the "creatures" for the first time, it was very surreal experience. this is what every film should be like! not only is it a good escapist film but it entails a deep story about the human condition, no wonder kids didnt understand it at first. with its shakycam, the audience is in for a loopy and mind-blowing visual spectacular!

spike jonze can do no wrong. after directing being john malkovich (1999) and adaptation (2002), he had me. he creates another exclusive world that only you and him can enter and makes it so you never want to leave!

i cannot express enough how much this film means to me personally and professionally. as an aspiring filmmaker, jonze has been one of my many inspirations from day one. his visionary and universal subject injects the audience with an adrenaline that only drugs can provide. and while some may be high during the two hours of this spectacle, it is no wonder why that spike jonze has been one of the the most avant-garde and ground-breaking director of our generation. A

ooooh yes. the coen bros are back after winning four freaking oscars in 2007 for no country for old men. and i guess its easy to say that after you win an oscar, you basically have the freedom to do anything they please! so here comes a new coen classic that is a more personal and mature work that has never been seen from them.

and at first, i didnt really like it. and usually, the things i dont like at first, i end up loving. like park chan-wook's thirst. i think its this preconceived notion i have of a certain director that i expect the same kind of style from them every time. but how would they advance if they keep doing that? they dont. and where do you go after perfecting a film and winning an oscar? ha, i guess in the coen bros' case, the only answer is up.

larry gobnik's life is spiraling out of control and slooooowly unraveling itself for the worst. after numerous incidents that will kill any normal person, gobnik seems to be holding himself with god knows what. the setting is in the mid-west where the coen bros grew up. and they paint a portrait of their jewish background in this 1967's remote town.

i dont know what to say except i havent seen a more jewish film in my life. the set design and costumes were magnificent. cinematography was exceptional. the actors were more than appropriately picked for their role. i cant imagine anyone playing gobnik's pathetic character besides michael stuhlbarg.

the coen bros let me down a little bit only because of my preconceived notions. but all in all, it was a hilarious and beautifully photographed picture. B

joesph gordon-levitt is starring in yet another indieish film with lynn collins and olivia thirlby ( indie film goddess!) in the upcoming thriller uncertainty. i dont know what to presume from the trailer but im sure i will understand it fully when i see it. mmm... maybe they edited the trailer like that intentionally. i mean the film IS titled uncertainty... hehe

i loved levitt since third rock from the sun and his choices of films have been improving as the years go by. his selection of roles to play never ceases to amuse and impress me. if you havent seen a film of him, check out manic, brick, or this summer's indie hit, 500 days of summer! i guess you can say he at me at hello... :)

it comes out nov. 13!

OHHHHHH MY GOD!! THE FULL TRAILER FOR TOY STORY 3 IS FINALLY HERE!! I KNOW KIDS OF THE 90's AND BASICALLY EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET ARE MORE THAN EUPHORIC ABOUT THIS.

TOY STORY 3 COMES OUT JUNE 18, 2010!!! PIXARS TRYING TO TEASE THE CRAP OUT OF US BY HAVING THE FILM COME OUT SO FAR AWAY. HMPH!

DONT TELL ME IM THE ONLY ONE EXCITED HERE!

i rather not put up a poster of the film because im honestly scared to death just looking at it!! i just watched a pre-screening at my school and all i can say is wow. i came home to research the film (like i always do) and found some creepy things on the internet. and considering that its the internet, not everything should be credible but it does make me wonder, who IS abigail tyler?

i almost glad that they showed almost all of the good footage already in the preview because it really does force people to reconsider the notion of aliens, no matter what belief system you have. who knows how well it will do in theaters seeing how liberal the contents are. and let me tell you, when milla jovovich came out in the trailer announcing that some things are very disturbing, she was not lying! ive watched unfathomably grotesque things in my day, but a live footage wrapped itself around my neck and choked me more than i expected.

and honestly i dont know what to believe! for those who refuse to believe in the film, i would probably ignorant denounce them as close minded! but watching this film, does make one think so critically if we're really alone. the film is not a masterpiece and looks more like the set of twilight with every progressing scene, but that should not hinder you from at least sneaking in to the theaters or bootlegging it online (but PREFERABLY, go to the theaters!!) just watch it and hopefully something will stir inside of you, something you've never felt in your life before: TRUE FEAR. rated: C. it comes out nov. 6.

what can i say besides that it was AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH-SOME! i must admit that it is THE ultimate chick flick with cool-ass chicks, hot boys, and some niiiiiice tunes. honestly it doesnt get better than that! and i think even boys will enjoy this. what kind a guy will turn down a movie thats inundated with hot chicks kicking some serious ass and have their underwear practically hanging out while doing it? come on man!

this is drew barrymore's first debut film and let me tell you, it was a wild ride. i had a lot of fun just mindlessly watching this. i got so into the roller derby scenes that at one point, i too wanted to take my shirt off and just yell "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

ellen page NEVER lets me down. this is possibly the third mainstream film shes been in out of a million other indie flicks youve probably never heard of (hard candy, mouth to mouth, an american crime). and even though in my book she is considered to be one of the finest young actresses around, it was incredible to see her share the screen with mainstream media veterans like marcia gay harden, kristen wiig, juliette lewis, drew barrymore, and even eve (yes, the rapper). what was the coolest/scariest part in this film was the fact that juliette lewis was the "enemy." and honestly, i would never ever want to be on lewis' bad side cause she will literally KICK. YOUR. ASS!

overall, it was a fun movie with awesome action and even a bit of a love story which makes me squeal like a 9 year old gay boy every time i think about it. page falls in love with the quintessential rocker guy ever girl dreams about, but can rarely maintain.

i was very lucky today. i was one of the very few who got a sneak peek of this film (which i got in for free, but long story) and even got a free shirt! honestly, i cant be happier. B

cool right!? this film comes out oct 2.

denzel washington in an aammmmmmazing actor. i saw a clip of training day and i almost pissed my pants cause he scared me shitless. sadly his last film, pelham 123 flopped big time. we havent seen him in a good film in a very long time until now. check this trailer out for the book of eli. turns out the hughes brothers directed this. (say who?) honestly, i dont really know who they are considering ive never watched their films. (ie: dead presidents, american pimp, from hell) they all sound like they couldve been great films, if it hadnt been for their b rated stories and horrible titles. (american pimp. seriously?)

anywho, the cast is great, cinematography is awesome, and i love badass movies. denzel and gary oldman are by far (next to daniel day of course!) some of the few outstanding male actors ive ever seen on the screen. im hoping this film will not disappoint.

(the sound quality is bad)
and mila kunis is just not believable to me.

the second version of this trailer is out now but this one explained more of the story. but check out the second one cause most definitely its better.

p.s. what is this i hear denzel doing a inside man 2. inside man was great! why is spike lee trying to ruin his own film by making a sequel. come on spike, youre better than this!

hmm... what can i say about jennifer's body, besides that megan fox is hot. its honestly just another showcase of how hot megan fox is blahblahblah, yeah im jealous. from a horror film stand point, its not much of a horror film. i would call it a horedy. horror + comedy = horedy. really, it is. i must admit, as an amateur horror viewer, at some points it was unnerving but varsity horror watchers should have no problem with it. (on second thought, horror buff shouldnt even watch this unless, they just want to make fun of it) i dont know think the audience is ready for a movie like jennifer's body. it IS more of a cult movie, like teeth (hehe).

i think half the audience i sat with were saying to themselves " what the fuck am i watching. " this teenage boy behind me was squirming in his seat and im sure he was only watching the flick because of fox. it was such an absurd film about demonic subjects that i couldnt help but laugh. at some points, diablo cody's writing seemed like she was trying too hard to make up new teenage lingo like jello for jealous and whatnot. but i admit, i give her props for making fox say one liners ive never heard said in a teenage movie, ever.

like i said its not for everyone. for me, i thoroughly enjoyed watching high school boys with drool stains being devoured by fox one after another. im not going to lie, this film was mediocre. nothing special. nothing new. but it was still fun. C+

p.s. theres also a cameo from our once favorite teen crush. and im surprised that hes even in this film.

you see that up there? yeah, matt damon, 30 pounds heavier and sporting a stash. thats the exact face i had throughout the whole entire movie. "what the eff is goin on?" this offbeat and zany film about, wait let me have imdb do the talking.

imdb: The U.S. government decides to go after an agri-business giant with a price-fixing accusation, based on the evidence submitted by their star witness, vice president turned informant Mark Whitacre.

mark whitacre played by matt damon was superbly played and does it with such conviction that i almost believed it. his corky thoughts just dribble out of his chubby lips like a stand up comedian and guess what? theyre actually funny. i didnt know what to think going into the theaters knowing that i had not watched the trailer previously or anything. but to my non-existent expectations, all assumptions during the film were thrown out the roof. if you like surprises, you will enjoy this. theyre not like the sixth sense or seven kind of surprises, they are like small and little gifts of shock that just unravel one by one.

considering how the tagline is: based on a tattle-tale, he just reminds me of that one fat kid in elementary school who would spill the beans to the teacher by mumbling his confession while sucking on a chocolate fudge. (no?) hahha anywho, i give it a B.

check our these hilarious and well done mash ups.

sooo fantastic.

duncan jones is soon to be my favorite director. why? first of all, he directed this summer's indie hit, moon. second, he is david bowie's son. third, his style and idea of filmmaking is something i couldnt even dream of myself. and everyone in the film industry, including me is drooling and patiently waiting for what he'll do next. liberty film (jones' production company) has highlighted a project in development called mute.

firstshowing says: The single piece of art paints the picture of a Blade Runner-esque future with the dark tones of a film noir. All we know is Mute is a thriller about a mute bartender looking for his abducted girlfriend in a future Berlin and the antagonists of this story are a comedy duo.

some people might say it sounds a bit mr. vengeance-like but nonetheless, i believe in this fresh talent and i really do hope to see more of him. people need to bring film noir back. and judging by the photo alone, i have very high expectations of him after his phenomenal first feature film.

JEALOUS.

yes, that tom ford. the iconic fashion designer has now gone behind the camera to make this visually stunning film starring an all star cast. colin firth plays a gay professor who's dealing with the death of a longtime lover. and naturally, their wardrobe is absolutely flawless. i hear that this film doesn't have a distributor(?) yet so hopefully it gets one so this piece of artwork can finally show in theaters!!!!

p.s. the guy is suppppa cute. you can see more of him on oct. 2

the genius behind monty python and the holy grail, brazil, twelve monkeys, and fear and loathing in las vegas is coming out with another film, i KNOW for sure that wont disappoint. this is heath ledger's last film and already by the preview, you know that he will surely deliver. as well as three other a-list actors and the hottest studs around tinseltown-- johnny depp, jude law, and colin farrell. i honestly. cant. wait! gilliam always does films that seem to tap into the human brain to wholly show in mind-blowing visuals whats actually going on in there.

this film comes out on xmas. you can count on me to skip my family dinner and be the first one in line with my red and green knit santa sweater with a gallon of popcorn wrapped around my barely visible fingers. tehehe.

this is my first experimental short i made. check it out.

or go to my vimeo page.

this is what you should do before you watch this. ISOLATE YOURSELF FROM EVERYONE. watch it in total darkness. i want you to watch this whole short in one sitting. if you choose to call it quits half way, and im SURE some will fail, then dont even view it at all. dont be afraid to feel. now watch.

p.s. this is really bad quality.

i know october isnt till another month away but a serious man, the new film by the coen bros havent been getting much publicity. i felt like it came out of nowhere. but whos complaining! i love the coen bros. this just seems like another great black comedy like raising arizona, burn after reading, and etc. they know how to tell a good story and never cease to amuse me. and at this point all i can say is HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. and im serious. a serious man comes out oct 2!

or go here...

The Dark Knight's Christopher Nolan is back again with a new film with Leonardo DiCaprio as jacob, a CEO-type who becomes involved in a blackmailing scandal. i dont know what to think of this little clip but that it has many similaries to the matrix. (and not just the flying part.)

Inception comes out next summer 2010

where the wild things are's soundtrack will be featuring original songs by karen o and the kids. and heres the first song off the album. in my opinion, its not as godly as the arcade fire's wake up, but it goes hand in hand with the film's main theme: childhood. click here to listen.

DAYBREAKERS!!! (jan 8. 2010!)

or go here..

i love the concept here. nowadays, it seems like EVERYONE is obsessed with vampires from the twilight sagas to the true blood series. now, it shows what the world would be like if everyone really was a vampire.. hehe.

they showed this featurette at comic con 2009! it'll make you appreciate what jonze is doing with the film even that much more. its all so great.

ive applied to volunteer at the new york and los angeles international independent film and video festival as a photographer, blogger, videographer, and projection assistant! awesome. it really is expensive to actually go but check it out anyways!!

there seems to be a lot of films coming out (aprox. 3) with the number 9 in it: 9, the animated action flick, directed by shane acker. district 9, which is this trailer. and nine, the musical by rob marshall, staring daniel day lewis!

or go here...

ive seen a trailer for this film before which had more explanation of what the movie was going to entail. but this was one of the previews for bruno and i found this version to be absolutely stunning and empowering. the sound effects and how the whole trailer came together was enough to give me chills up and down my spine. i cant wait. district 9 comes out august 14!

p.s. i hear that how theyre promoting this film is quite good. like on bus stop there are district 9 posters saying " this bus stop is only for humans. " hahahah nice. i hope this film shows the audience that at a certain point we should stop discriminating against people or ... anything! but as far as ive been alive, i think people have found usless reasons to hate and sadly, i dont think it will be going away anytime soon.

Thirst is the upcoming korean film from renowned director Park Chan-wook about wait what? a vampire you say? and it may be bloodier than his previous work, the vengeance trilogy? IMPOSSIBLE!

or go here...

A beloved and devoted priest (Song Kang-ho) from a small town volunteers for a medical experiment which fails and turns him into a vampire. Physical and psychological changes lead to his affair with a wife of his childhood friend who is repressed and tired of her mundane life. The one-time priest falls deeper in despair and depravity. As things turns for worse, he struggles to maintain whats left of his humanity.

ive loved park chan-wook ever since ive laid my eyes on old boy. so im hoping he does NOT disappoint! this comes out in limited theatres on july 31st! get ready for some blood fest!

p.s. im writing a film book. dont expect a lot but if you want one, tell me.

EDIT: a better idea is that if you want, we should make an even exchange. my creation for your creation. i think that sounds good.

NEVER in my life have i laughed so hard at the movie theaters till i saw Bruno. rarely, does anything at the theaters make me laugh but i assume it was the combination of sacha baron cohen's ruthless acts to acheive famedome by any means--even if he has to bring peace to the palestinian and israeli fued-- and with the hint of realism that really made me have a laughing seizure in my red velvet seat. with all his satirical acts and trickery, it all came together beautifully as he further explores how gays are perceived in the u.s.

of course, this film is not for everyone. it was almost rated as NC-17. and amazingly, i wasnt really shocked with any of his ridiculous acts and more amused at the way he went about his tactics. and when i really think about it, i can almost call it a love story. yes that's right, a love story. And if you thought Borat was outrageous, DO NOT expect anything less than that from Bruno, because he will take you to the most uncomfortable places on earth that will surely make you feel like theres something up your back door. A-

this is my friend luwam.

ive been trying to film more and more and this is just the first video. ive been just filming random things that will help me become a better director and such. i need to really start doing more things considering how our art show is coming up very quickly... but check out my youtube page. there is more information about this particular video and about the meaning behind the many videos i will soon make.

this film was perfection. review is on the way. but know. KNOW, that this film is an A.

Tim Burton is making his own remake of Alice in Wonderland and of course he is having his two beloved actors, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter respectively, to play the mad hatter and the red queen. to my surprise, anne hathaway is chosen to play the white witch. and newcomer mia wasikowska is set to play alice.

firstshowing.net said that "Interestingly, this is somewhat of a sequel to Disney's animated movie from 1951. "Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember."
