I've been watching too many movies.
Easy A
Due Date
Going the Distance
The Social Network
I Love You Philip Morris
Despicable Me
I liked them all (except Going the Distance - it was a little like watching an extended version of the trailer...predictable and meh), but none of them were those watch more than once movies.

I went on a little Korean romcom spree over the past few days, (prompted by FFF's suggestion of Antique Bakery) and watched 100 Days with Mr Annoying and My Sassy Girl. I hasten to add, these films should not be judged by their titles :') They were cute and funny, and sometimes even touching. I particularly liked My Sassy Girl. Funnily enough, now I think about it, they're pretty similar films just with the gender role reversed...Anyway, I've decided I really like what I've seen of Korean cinema. It's, for lack of a better word, fun.

100 days with mr arrogant was a great movie! loved it! reminds me of someone  and my sassy girl! one of my favorites!!! Jeon Ji-Hyun is my favorite korean actress.
Also you should watch Baby and Me if you haven't already... another good korean movie. and The Beast and the Beauty.

It's strange that when you study film making, you have to watch films for you dissertation. But then, you can't be bothered – so you watch another film to procrastinate from watching films.
Been going to the cinema a lot. Saw HP7(1) yesterday. Was good.
And then watching very old German films for my dissertation.

Saw the first part of HP7 today! It was loads of fun. Weird being in a full theater for the first time in ages.
I kinda wish they'd just kept going and shown both parts together...seemed to go by really fast.

I saw HP7 on friday and it was good, but it did kind of feel like half a film to me. I'd rather have sat through an extra hour and a half and just had them editing the two parts into one long film. I saw Phantom of the Opera in the cinema and that was over three hours or something crazy.
I watched The Beast and the Beauty jusome  I loved it! It was one of the funnier ones I've seen. I loved the gang member character.
Last night I watched Oldboy - it was phenomenal. I was watching it thinking "this can not be by the director of I'm a Cyborg But That's OK'. Talk about versatile! It was just an amazing, amazing film. Every second of it felt crafted, the cinematography was beautiful and the plot twists kept me gasping - and there was a hint of Chan-wook Park's quirkiness in a train scene with a giant ant. The ending was perfection as well, a moral mindfield unfolding in a field of snow. Beautiful.

Metropolis confused me, though maybe I just didn't understand it.
I saw a movie called "Train Man" (Densha no otoko), about an otaku who meets a girl when he rescues her from an abusive drunk on a train.
It was really endearing! The acting was sometimes a little thick, but I really started to adore the main character. And cleaned up, he was pretty cute too...!

Lol, you're not alone. It is a bit confusing but I like it anyways.
And Densha Otoko was super cute. I didn't think I would like it but I really did.

Yes it was, you should try it. It has quite a following.
I watched How to Train Your Dragon while doing homework. I'd watched it when it first came out but it's so adorable. I love the scene where the dragon and the kid get to be friends. Forbidden Friendship is such a pretty track. ^^

I saw Toy Story 3 too quite recently. I had to fight so hard not to cry when I saw it! Aww...
My face was all scrunched up and buried in my elbow sleeves.
Good movie.

So I watched Deathly hallows part 1 today. I enjoyed it just as much as any other Harry Potter film. Still it was out of my head the moment I stepped out of the cinema. Maybe I would enjoy them more if I hadn't read the books? I don't know but i feel like the movie didn't give me everything I wanted from it. Although it did recreate the same sad feeling I got when I read the book at the part where Ron and Harry had the fight.

I watched How To Train Your Dragon last night, I had reasonably high expectations about it from what I'd heard and I wasn't dissapointed! It wasn't sensational filmmaking, but it was very cute and funny, Toothless was damn adorable.
So now I'm watching Dragonheart  classssic!

This week:
Narnia: Prince Caspian (Ãt's okay, nice shots but TOO LONG!!)
Tudors Episode 1 of Season 4 (not really a movie but my favourite series at the moment so..it's beautiful)
The Lovely Bones (which I found fascinating, original story and nice actors)
Amadeus (the movie of 1984, I saw it on VHS but the movie was still beautiful and the actor who played Mozart played it very good, he was such a childish, bit of a dirty little man and the actor portrayed his life in the most amazing way)
aaanddddd:
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 1 (It was exhiting, scary and amazing. I only hated the end, I want more now! Really. Best HP in my opinion)

Omg, I need to stop.
This all started because I watched The Next Three Days (which actually had some really good moments) with a friend. And we apparently had not had enough of movies so came home and watched Ocean's 11, 12 and 13 and Dogma. And somehow transitioned to princess stories.
Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella and The Swan Princess (even though it's not really Disney...) and then the first twenty minutes of The Swan Princess 2 (apparently there's a third part as well...).
And then we returned to Disney...Brother Bear. And then we watched the sequel. Haha, I don't actually remember what kind of reviews it got but I liked it. Some moments were a bit much (especially in the sequel - but hey, it's a Disney sequel) but it was also really sweet. Coda <3.
