Moo-vies

Back in December, I carried out one of my ambitious plans. To start an amazing blog with kirakirashahida. It would be amazing, with a Facebook page and I don't know what else. I posted, once, or twice? And then , it died. It's hard to get a following for something so new. And, without followers, what inspiration or incentive did I have? The only two readers of the blog were the two authors. :P Yes, I know, epic fail.

Well, the main objective of the blog was to be a popular reviewing site. Review movies, tv shows, Japanese and Korean stuff (dashi), songs and books. :) I am not releasing the site just yet, I have to double-check with my co-editor first. But since that site is dying, and my co-author has already moved on and started reviewing stuff on her own blog (My co-author's blog) , I have also decided to do the same.

So, right now, I want to make use of the amazing download speeds that I can obtain. Up to 500 kbps, actually it was 600kbps at one time :). I already downloaded four movies, Oscar-winning stuff. :) So, give me suggestions on what movies to download. I'll give ya'll hints on what I like.

I almost always watch English movies, (no, saya bukan racist) but also the occasional Malay, Tamil, or Chinese. Actually occasional means once in a blue moon filled with blue cheese and double cheeseburger™ . The last foreign language movie I watched was quite awesome, "La Vie en Rose" starring Marion Cottilard.

I watch movies across genres. I watched all Disney Pixar movies multiple times. But I like discovering new unknown movies that are illuminating. I don't really like slapstick comedy, save for a few exceptions,  and my movie judgement skills are improving. In contrast with some of my friends, who like thriller/action/gunslinging & shooting , too much action kills a movie for me. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button had an extraordinary idea, that's why I liked it even though it was slow-paced. I HATE TWILIGHT and all those sparkling vampire wannabes.

Oh yeah, I suggest that you suggest movies from last year, because I don't want to download a movie with crappy film quality. :)

Musings

Would you rather think of bad and good as being something based on perspective?
Or is it something that can be define by particular tangible limits?
But there is not a question without an answer. No wrong or right, for who are we to judge on the basis of mere fancies?
It is all a matter of perspective
Our lives are based on perspective
Laws are based on perspective
Lies are based on perspective
