AAAHHHHHH I LOVE YOU ALFRED! Undisputed teacher of the suspense. He film many informant films, all of them by order, Hitchcock equal tell that loved the “voyeurismo” of the espionage`s films.
“The Departed” is incredible, not only because is very well counted but because also surprises and in some Scorsese point the personage of Leonardo Di Caprio manages to recreate the hell in which this and he is heartrendering. A man without name, leaving its life without recognition some, completely imprisoned of its own ideology, that luck to let to the life by a cause or an excuse not to take I finish a normal life because it cannot take a normal life, karma of all super man, am east secret agent, super hero, a vampire or a man scissors hands. A constant in the development of the personage of Jack Bauer in “24”, who I hope finishes dead.
“Duplicity” is a disaster and I hope is no fanatical fence with desire to beat to me. It is a bad film watches it after where is watched it, are takings (shot ?) that do not beat, the assembly is of terror and the planes that do to him to Julia Roberts do not help much to try to show it but pretty, question that is strange to me. They had to offer much money to him or to need it not to be corroborating like her saw in camara.
That there is in stock-market yellow with black handles? Je je I am not peculiar, I am concealed agent of the FBI.
I love the closed showy packages, are so mysterious. I am as Mirtha Legrand always I say that I am going away to go and I never do it.
AAAHHHHHH TE AMO ALFRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maestro indiscutido del suspenso. Filmo muchas peliculas de informantes, todas ellas por encargo, igual Hitchcock decia que amaba el “voyeurismo” del espionaje.
“The Departed” es increible, no solo porque està muy bien contada sino porque tambien sorprende y en algun punto Scorsese logra recrear el infierno en el que el personaje de Leonardo Di Caprio esta metido y es desgarrador. Un hombre sin nombre, dejando su vida sin reconocimiento alguno, completamente preso de sus propios idealismos, esa suerte de dejar la vida por una causa o una excusa para no llevar acabo una vida normal porque no puede llevar una vida normal, el karma de todo super hombre, sea este agente secreto, super heroe, un vampiro o un hombre manos de tijera. Una constante en el desarrollo del personaje de Jack Bauer en “24”, quien espero termine muerto.
“Duplicity” es un desastre y espero no haya ningun fanatico cerca con ganas de pegarme. Es una mala pelicula se la mire por donde se la mire, hay tomas que no pegan, el montaje es de terror y los planos que le hacen a Julia Roberts no ayudan mucho por intentar mostrarla mas bonita, cuestion que me extraña. Debieron de ofrecerle mucho dinero o necesitarlo para no estar corroborando como ella se veia en camara.
¿Que hay en la bolsa amarilla con manijas negras? Je je no soy curiosa, soy agente encubierto del FBI. Amo los paquetes llamativos cerrados, son tan misteriosos.
Soy como Mirtha Legrand siempre digo que me voy a ir y nunca lo hago.
And Cary Grant is very attractive! je je
Yeah, The Departed was pretty good but it ran a little long. One of those films that’s got good stuff but the bloat makes it tedious. Will check out Infernal Affairs.
The best thing about The Departed was Jack. He was robbed by the academy that year. Seeing the Sneakers trailer makes me sad that River never reached his full potential. Such a waste.
hey what happen ?you have a new haircut..i feel like i like your haircut before.. well anyway,i saw infernal affairs triology and the story is good and the casting is big .. everyone is an A list actors in hongkong.. departed the movie is an adaptation of infernal affairs..
oh yeah, the hair…it took me to long to make them do what I wanted them to do and then I thought I just shave them off as a punishment
I think that’s what they call a Ricochet. I prefer ‘infernal affairs’ to ‘departed’, not only is it a top cast but they have more characters, i.e. The Departed pressed the two female characters into one single female which always takes away some dynamics. The third IA confused me a bit…
ow thanks for the reply right away..actually,you look so hot with your hair.. its been 2 o’clock am here.. anyway,as far as i could remember it confused me a bit also(i watched the movie last 4 years ago)and i need to watch it again continously..i was thinking before maybe i was a little bit slow of watching a movie like this..well im glad you’re also confused..ow shawn yue is hot,better drop edison chen..i’ve seen a movie before(its good also) title’PROTEGE’ casted by my all time fave daniel wu and andy lau..
왼쪽의 흡연을 더 치르고 Tomas! ja ja

(Smoking to dress not to smoke)
@athenayesha: nobody told me before that i look ‘hot’ with the hair, otherwise I might not have shaved it off
In doubts, never blame yourself when you don’t understand a movie.. blame the movie!
@Juli: Where did you find this random piece of unfinished sentence..hahahahaha! Ja ja
Ja ja I do not understand what tell me Tomas, better tell me in Korean that to perhaps I understand better than in English ja ja it
hahahaha….so im the first one to give a compliment..let’s just say it like this,you’re so ‘cool’ with your new cut,ok?it feels like its a burden to you being called “hot”…no, you have to go for it dude…yeah,we have to blame the movie but you know sometimes it draws me a lot..anyway,have you already discuss a movie like Taken(Liam neeson),Lust caution,kit runner,the boy in striped pajamas? im looking forward to be discussed soon.. fihhting!
I mention Taken very shortly in the Revenge episode on the side but I didn’t really enjoyed it though because it is too much like Rambo just with an Irish man with a wannabe Matrix jacket (if I remeber rightly). But yeah, there are a bunch of movies left that i would love to address…if I run out of good movies maybe I should talk about bad movies because there are soooooooo many of them..hahaha. Anyways, fihhhtinnn!
well maybe the bad movies you’re going to mention soon maybe its my type of movies…hehehe….when i saw all your clips and read all those comments its like,oohh everyone had a brilliant ideas..i myself couldn’t fit in..maybe im too shallow for this…anyway ,everything in koreanovela and movies well im #1 addict, that’s where i belong..i saw the billboard of J.I joe with all those pictures of lee byung hun, oh gosh he really made it to the hollywood.. can i ask you something? regarding with the movie’a bitter sweet life’what’s your views about the ending?until now it made me think a lot.. i have my own answer but i was looking an answer similar to mine… here’s my views, he didn’t die but if he’s going to disobey his boss that’s what supposed gonna happen to him..

@athenayesha: well, i don’t think you’re shallow because simply you consider youself ’shallow’. And I have to agree that the comments on here are very good quality because these ladies and gentlemen know a lot and have good thoughts….which makes me sometimes wonder why they listen to me
I personally started this blog to show good movies. Entertaining for the eyes, ear and heart. I didn’t like the reviews i read so much since they go such much into detail where I thought “so is it good for normal person like me?”. On the other hand I remember a good deal of films that made it worth my time watching them and we live in such a fast paced world, where everybody is chasing the newest rumour, that it makes sense to stop and turn around and have a look at the ‘older’ films.
BItter Sweet Life…hmmmm….I have troubles myself because the final monologue is very poetic and not very clear but this is what I made of it (SPOILER ALARM)…He just fantasised about the whole thing like a long daydream. In my opinion, the movie shows the angle of a man, who is living this normal life and he misses some ‘emotion/excitement/passion’ even if it’s a hard as the one he imagines. It’s bitter but it’s sweet in a sense because he feels more alive…something to die for. But hearing your interpretation, I will think about it from your point of view. That’s another good thing about movies, it means different things to different people.
by the way: I bet you know more about FarEastern Films, Drama, TV then others (including myself) so I am glad you are with us..
well, yeah i got it (im won’t considered myself anymore a “shallow” one)..im convince now ’bout the ending …
of course i do know a lot of foreign films and tv series also.. actually,almost all of that stuff are available to me its just that my line of interest for now is different..but someday soon i’ll be clinging into it.thanks..im glad also that im one of them, your follower…”treat the day as if it’s the last day”..
hey dude about your new clips,i’l difinitely watch “5 minutes in heaven” tomorrow and il give you updates about that..im just an ordinary moviegoers so hold on my comments tomorrow. hahaha…signing off the time 3:26 am here..
No money back guarantee…haha. Might be a bit slow but interesting characters. Definitely let me know!
Jack is fantastic, I really wish they should hurry up with the final film if they’re going to product it!
