The Legend of 1900

One of my top 5 favourite movies, ever.
Ennio Morricone's theme song for the movie, "Playing Love" is also one of my favourite piano songs ever.

Garden State

The Shins
Unplugged version of "Such Great Heights"

The movie? Great. I think it has too much talking which ruined some of the superb scenes which could have conveyed more by silence. Instead they tried to fill it up by some mumbo jumbo cliche talks.

Still,
"I swear I'm going to kill that motherfucker"
"Pun intended?"

Classic. I was hoping the music would set the mood, but sadly, they decided that words speak louder than action, in this case.7/10

In The Mood For Love

What can I say, what can I say.

Stunning simplicity. Only two tracks can be heard throughout the movie and they were used extensively. Actions, not words dictate atmosphere.

It was all Garden State could be never can achieve. It was a tale of two person trying not to be what their spouses has become, it was a guy feeling hopelessness in life, it was a woman afraid of taking one step forward, out of fear or not we'll never know.

It was what we want it to be. It was to me, almost perfect.

City of Gods


8/10.

Gritty, fast paced and don't hold back. The fact that it's based on a real story seemed shocking a the end to me but I can relate more or less to it since many people around me are gangsters.

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

Funny in certain parts. Would have been funnier if I watched it when it first came out back then, because alot of movies has been using their jokes nowdays so it seemed abit predictable. Still a classic though from the talented sibligns of Wayans, makers of Scary Movie series.

Oldboy

Watched it over the weekend, it's about a guy trying to find out the reason why he was suddenly kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years, while serving some cold revenge.

Tops. 8/10. Acting is tops, a bit dodgy storyline though. No wonder it was raved all over in Cannes.
