BLOODY GOOD MOVIE or FXXKING GOOD MOVIE
It has been so looooong that I ever come across a quality & good film, most movies nowadays are flooded with so much special effects while all the actors/actresses need to do is just to look good. 2006 year was a year with a lot of disappointments if were to compare to Malaysia KLCI (Composite index) haha, exactly flip side of one to another. 2006 year was the year that I noticed the movie industry had been so crowded with animations that makes me wonder what were all the actors/actresses doing nowadays, but I guessed I was wrong, looks like they were working hard for 2007.
The year 2006 ended with a bang when I watched "The Sinking Of Japan", I LOVE the movie, it was touching and thrilling, although it was flooded with lots of special effects, but those special effects were GOOD ONE! These are the movies that we can start to say the world is flat (a word my gf used a lot nowadays), whereby the superiority gap between west and east is narrowing. But maybe do you all know the writer to the story wrote another book about "The Sinking of The World, except Japan", straight after writing "THe Sinking Of Japan"….haha
2007 was the year I had very few expectations for the movie industry after going thorugh 2006, although there is spiderman 3 for the summer blockbuster but I bet that wont be enough to lift my spirit for 2007. Damn I was wrong, KLCI continue to go strong, and what happened is, the movie industry also rebound!
2007 started with the bloody good movie of one of the actors in my top 10 hate list, Leonardo Di Caprio, because I was not impressed with his titanic act as Jack. But bet I fall in love with Leonardo Di Caprio after this movie and he had immediately rebounced from nothing to something, and now entered to my top 10 favorite list(top 3), his acting had matured sooo much that he is so good in this film and he is COOL - dashing, I think even cooler than "Mr Andersen" (Keanu Reeves) in Matrix. The movie is… "BLOOD DIAMOND".
Before I can take a breath and while my mind still runs riot on "BLOOD DIAMOND", another movie outflanked my position, "THE HOLIDAY". I guessed Leonardo must have ganged with Kate to come back in winter 2006(but it is a 2007 movie in malaysia). "THE HOLIDAY" is the kind of LOVE movie with a hidden message about lives suitable to be viewed by all audiences, but more suited for the female audiences. "THE HOLIDAY" might not be appealing to the audiences who are looking for lots of bang-bang!. Anyway I think it works for the male audiences as well. The trick about this movie is the director try to put 2 different people from 2 different cultures into one film, One in US and One in UK, more interestingly they swapped places under a rental vacation after both had hit a snag in their love life. And the movie took off wonderfully, and ended gracefully. This is the best Movie I had ever watched which involves Jude Law, Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. (those are the people in my top 10 hate list) Jack Black also starred in this movie, but he is always my favorite. When "bloody" (UK) clashes with "fxxking"(US), it turns out to be lots of laughters…..and kills off the boredom.
Anyway perhaps the movie industry will take a turn from worse to bloody good in 2007, lets sit tight and hope things will continue to get better!
