He's Just Not That Into You

Obviously... you are just not that into me. ;)

Religulous

"Obviously you don't have the same relationship with God like I do." Hmm... sounds familiar somehow.
"You don't have to pass an IQ test to be a senator." -Mark Pryor (D)

The Visitor

It's a cute story about love. Love between friends, between families, and people. It's a depressing movie about people who hides behind their mask.


Oh... and I hate airports.

One More Time

NYC's two L's

I finally went to watch Sex and the City. The end is totally way too cheesy, but I love some lines in the movie; from Samantha, mainly.

Carrie: Labels and Love.

I know soon I will be able to buy labels, but love... what can I say, I love me more. ha.

Charlotte: I curse the day you were born.

That will not be the line, but I can't stop wonder... what will I say or do when I see... never mind.

India.Arie: She said you found someone.

There were nothing in between, yet, my thoughts were scattered.

You come to me in the summer breeze, then you softly leave. Even so, you are still so clearly there. I guess I should learn from forgive myself first.

Infernal Affairs vs. The Departed

I do very much have to say, with all the respect to the great and hard working Hollywood film industries, I LOVE INFERNAL AFFAIRS MORE THEN THE DEPARTED.


I absofuckinglutely LOVE the cast in Infernal Affairs I, II, III, and the Departed; I mean, come on they are all really really dreamy. But the story line, yes I know the Departed borrowed the story of Infernal Affairs, there are just some tension lacking in the Departed somehow.








In the Departed
The life, the unfair life was not presented. The good guy was not bad enough and the bad guy... just not bad enough for you to love. It was a clear line between good and evil, you can tell from the beginning that who's the hero and who is the tramp. You know it's just another story about the hero sacrificed himself. And the bad guy, the mole in the police department, he is just try to be bad. He makes you hate him, dislike him, there is nothing in him that is likable. Maybe not the part when he's with the shrink, but he is just a rat and you know it from the beginning.

In the Infernal Affairs I, II, and III
Good guy was just like one of the criminals, he just sniff all the cocaine, he beats the crap out of others, he went in and out of the jail. He had way cooler way to leak the informations to the police, the Morse code. And the bad guy, he just seemed like the great guy next door. He busted some drug dealing, he is a hard worker, he is a man trying to build his family, he is trying to be one of the good guys. He is a... surviver, a higher class of rat, he showed that there is justices, but it won't come until... the bad guy is tired of himself.

I like the tension and the emotional "torture" that hunts you. I like the fact that it's more like real life, the bad guy is the one who managed to go though everything. I love those quotes they showed in the end of each Infernal Affairs, I'm not Buddhist, but they are some good quotes to remember for life. I like how they curst Other then all this great things about this serious of movies, I love the gorgeous faces in all those films. ;)

景物依舊，人事全非。

A friend of mine told me about this movie. He said it's good. I like it.

There are parts that definitely reminds me a lot about home, I mean it is shoot in Taipei in the end, and the familiar faces in the movie.

The Corporation Film

The Corporation is a documentary that take us look at the concept and the great dark side of big corporations; the psychopath nature of this legal "person".

What kind of the world am I actually living in right now? Where am I going to stand? What is my principles? How much would I give in to the corporations and compromise? When is it enough?

When the corporations are more powerful then any government in the world; when corporations mark prices on practically everything, even a rain drop or a square feet of air; when corporations determine what you should think it's important, what you should spend your money on, or what are the informations a consumer could get. The majority of the world become weightless, are they? There are some good things a corporation could potentially bring to a community, but there are more things corporations done wrong all over the globe. Stand up, stand up and against the unethical part, the non-environmental friendly part, the unmorality part, and more; fight for what you believe a human right should be. With the power together, a small fish can still take over a big shark.

Annie Hall

It is a romantic movie that makes you constantly have to focus, think, and be nervous. Woody Allen is just one brilliant man, I rarely seen movies being so dark and complex yet so wonderful. I guess that's what relationships brings out. Loved it.



"I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light." -Alvy Singer, Annie Hall (1977)

I Wish You Love

It's amazing how a song can explain so much.



(to be continued...)

The Movie: Sex and the City

"Why did you move to New York?"
"To fall in love."

Will you come watch it with me?

Barack Obama: 'A More Perfect Union' (Full Speech)

偉忠媽媽的眷村

This is a documentary about the villages of military families back home in Taiwan. Memories for the people whose parents came to Taiwan with the formal President Chiang, memories of the Chinese food, memories of the smell, memories of the way they grow up. I never got a chance to live in a cool place like that, but that's the kind of the place where my parents grow up in. It's definitely cool to see how it was like, feel so much closer to home, so much closer to my parents and my grandparents. Sorry all the videos are in Chinese, so... for those who don't speak Chinese, just watch the views and tones. Hope you'll like it.

Where Will Life Take You?

I love this ad by the very exquisite Louis Vuitton.

"What is a journey? It's a process of self-discovery. A journey shows us not only the world, but how we fit in it. Does the person create the journey, or does the journey create the person? The journey is life itself. Where will life take you?"

Where will life take me? I don't know but I know I can't wait for this journey to begin.

Chris Rock - Never Scared

I love Chris Rock, he is just so f*ing fabulous.

Darfur

There are 2 documentaries released in this passed couple months about the most heartbreaking, shocking, scaring, and horrifying things that is happening in Darfur right now, even as you are reading.

Sand and Sorrow. This is a documentary made by HBO. You can watch the whole documentary till 12/9 online at HBO: Sand and Sorrow.

Darfur Now. This is a documentary about 6 people try to make a change, bring peace to Darful.

Get involve on saving Darfur.

It just kills me whenever I saw things like this. It is just not acceptable. I mean, most of us live in a nice comfort life while there are people who just try to live through another second. They didn't chose to live like that. What can I do to make a difference? What can we do as a human being to change it? Some friends told me that "it is just an evidence of we are approaching the end of the world." I don't care, we are here breathing, is not just welcoming Jesus coming back. we are here breathing is not just let the devil do whatever he/they want to do. We are here to prove to the devil that we will perform the responsibilities as a human beings, we will fight to the end, and we will win. I am not going to change the world, but I will contribute whatever I could to just make it a little bit better.
