The Banquet.
this movie wasted my time and money.
i hate the part when Daniel Wu and gang dance at the begining of the movie. i wanted to laugh...but the only thing that shoped me was no one was laughing. another thing why i think this movie is boeing is because it sucessfully made me feel like i wanna sleep. *btw, there were people snoring in the cinema that day.*
it sux! the end.

Goodbye Boys
9 BOYS, 5 DAYS, 100KM. One coming of age journey...
Thumbs up for Bernard Chauly’s movie, Goodbye Boys! I LOVE THE TEAM SONG FOR THIS MOVIE (Nitrus - Hujung Dunia) Gosh! I got Bernard’s autograph too… (Thinking of framing it up :p) other than the autograph, I also got a poster, a cd, 3 postcard and a t-shirt (I’m wearing the shirt to bed tonight!!!) haha… I’m really happy I got to meet him again(the previous time I met him was at the Japanese Film Festival, he did the interview on the Japanese director, Shinohara Tetsuo) and toke his autograph this time. Darn! Come to think of it I really should have brought a camera along... Despite meeting him before the movie start, outside the cinema when he was going around greating all those people that came for the movie, he came into the cinema right before the movie started and gave a short speech. From the way he speaks, I realize that he’s a guy that has a good sense of humor! He said that if the movie is good he asked us to go tell all our friends about how good the movie is, but if we do not like the movie, he asked us to go tell all our enemies about how good the film is to cheat them. Haha… funny guy! Anyway, back to the movie, the movie Goodbye Boys have a lot of good message to send across to the audience. Some messages will actually make you “wake up” from your sleep in your walk in life. “This journey we toke was like walking through life, we all headed to the same destination but we toke different paths to reach there.” “When you are drowning, life seems so real… (I forgot the ending of the sentence already…anyone care to help me out?)” and yeah… there were many more messages in the movie but I couldn’t possibly remember all la. I got so much to talk about the movie…don’t know how to put them down in words. I felt like some of the characters are not fully developed as in their family background. But I like the way Bernard first introduce the characters to the audience. Bernard is good at placing the camera to shoot all the shots. Btw, the 8 boys did sing a lot of sings throughout their journey too. And oh! In the movie, there was one part where Xiao’s mother gave Xiao a RM20 note!!! Where in the world can you still find a RM20 note anymore??? There are lots of things more I wanna say about the movie but I rather talk than blog about it :p So, anyway,The ending part where they show what happened after a few years was really funny and good! Overall, I am really glad I watched the movie.
ps: My favorite character in the movie is still Glenn (the most handsome one)! So manly! haha... :p Although most of the characters like Wei Heen, Jin, Ivan and Leonard are cute too. (the above was updated 23/9/06)

My Super Ex-Girlfriend
I’ll give the movie an average rating. There are some scenes that are pretty funny la… and if I were a guy, I definitely would not want a girlfriend that has super powers….

Jenny Johnson: [after breaking the bed while having sex] I'm sorry. I'll get you a new one.
Matt Saunders: A bed or a penis?
Jenny Johnson: Both.

Work on the Grass
We reach ASWARA (FORMALLY KNOWN AS ask, Akedemi Seni Kebangsaan) at 8.30pmfor the talk by Mr. SHINOHARA Tetsuo, the director of “Inochi” and “Heaven’s Bookstore”. Bernard Chauly, the director of Gol Dan Gincu was there at the talk too. The event started by showing us Mr. Shinohara Tetsuo’s 1st film that he wrote and directed, which was Work on the Grass. Starring Naoki Goto and Hikari Ota.
[Synopsis: Two field workers--one experienced, the other an aspiring writer--spend spend a hot summer day cutting a vast expanse of tall grass. The two men clash hen the novice begins botching the job. Eventually, through an exchange of stories during their lunch break, the two achieve a rapprochement that has ambiguous sexual overtones.]
It’s a nice movie, with lots of close up shots and there are certain parts in the movie that was quite funny. It’s suppose to be a Japanese comedy, but we only laugh 3 times at 3 scenes, that also only when people start laughing then only we laugh (not to say that it’s not funny, but it’s just that maybe we were a bit slow in catching what the Japanese were saying in the movie) There were only 2 characters in the movie, 2 Japanese lawnmower, an experience one and the other not. The movie shows the relationship between the 2 men from the beginning of the movie, which they barely know each other until the ending of the movie that shows that they were closer and more comfortable with working and conversing with each other. There was even one part where the 2 men were so close to each other… I really though they were going to kiss. Haha... they didn’t la of course.
So after the movie was showed, it was the Q & A session. About the movie Work on the Grass, Mr. Shinohara Tetsuo said that there were other sponsors coming in for him to produce this movie, but he chooses to do it in his own funding and budget. He implied that he used to work part time jobs when he was a student and he wanted to show the experience he has gone through in this movie. After this movie, was release back in year 1993, the public started to question him, asking if he was gay. (He’s a straight guy) If he was given a choice to re-shoot the movie again, he would do it in another different way. More about Mr. Shinohara Tetsuo himself; he studied and graduated Law in a law school but had never been a lawyer before. He became an assistant director for 10 years before he became a director himself.
