I am a hopeless romantic. One who likes chocolates and good romantic comedies. I am also quite macabre sometimes, favouring a darker point of view (says the girl who has a encyclopaedia of killing methods).

Little did I know that this French Film was going to appeal to both my hopeless romantic as well as my other not so sunshine and daisies side. I have now decided that this is my favourite film.



Child's Play )

Guillaume Canet is officially on my Lust List. His little version, Thibault Verhaeghe, is also tre bien!

If anyone know where I can find the OST for this please tell me! I absolutely love this.

I always seem to have to deduce the ending to a film before the actual ending. When I do so, I whine about how it's such a no-plotter. When I don't do so I complain that it's too complicated and the ending is crap. It's an annoying habit that I just can't seem to shake off. I don't even know how it started

I realised this while watching Confession of Pain. My friend had told me many many months ago the basic sketch of the plotline so that I would watch it and I finally did today. It was weird because from what she had told me and from what I had watched at the begining, I had already started forming the answer to the movie.

Yet for some reason when it had ended exactly as I had deduced, it wasn't so unsatisfactory. Confession of Pain is really powerful. It's not hard to guess what's happening but it was kind of hard to follow. It doesn't really take the same route of a story yet all the clues are laid out on the table.

All the actors were very experienced and put together with the soundtrack, the movie was very polished. It's not really a tear-jerker, but it's not really happy either. It's "hard to swallow" but it leaves a nice aftertaste.

Overall, it's worth watching but just don't do so as a light relaxing film.

Once again, I downloaded it from [info]jdramas. Take a look at the trailer:



Also, Takashi Kaneshiro is SERIOUS love.

Ok so it's been four(?) days since the start of my Easter Holidays (hols as my art teacher Ms Cheney puts it). And in that four days I've managed to accomplish quite a lot of stuff.

All righty so bit a of pimpin' for starters :D. I've had this pet project caged up in my mind for a while now, and seeing that it is the holidays, I decided to unleash it :D. I've always thought that there weren't enough Jay Chou comms on LJ and even less places to find such resources so I thought I might as well start my own :D. Come join [info]everythingjay if you like Jay Chou. Better yet, come and have a look, you might just end up liking him :D

I've managed to fall in love with Kang Dong Won after watching two if his movies, The Duelist and A Romance of Their Own (both of which are availiable on [info]jdramas). It's been a while since I've been a fan of a pretty boy.
Dong Won Pic Under here~! )
The Duelist was a beautiful movie, though I hated the female actress(Ha Ji Won). She was loud and crude and I really didn't think that it was necessary for her to be that way. I understand that she's meant to be a tomboy but it was just too unpolished( I agree with whoever said that she was chanelling the acting style from 100 Days with Mr Arrogant). However I thought that Kang Dong Won was pretty good XD.

Which is why I went to watch A Romance of Their Own. That movie of course furthered my belief that Korean movies don't really have that subtlty. It just wasn't my cup of tea, though I did manage to enjoy myself drooling over Dong Won.

I also went and saw 300 today. I was dissappointed. I guess I just had too high of an expectation. I mean I did enjoy myself drooling over the 100% genuine abs in the movie (especially Gerad Butlers xD), I did love David Wenham's voice and the graphics were pretty awesome but it lacked something. I guess I was comparing it to The Duelist subconciously and 300 just lacked the beauty. But what can I say, I kinda just went and saw it for Gerad Bulter wearing "armour" that was really just a red cape and steel undies xD.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed your Easter :D.

And don't forget~
