Couch Potato...

Mutated to a couch potato over the weekend. The hibernation was quite soothing and felt like i'm suppose to go out and live more..yeah..maybe next week...
Anyways, managed to finished 3 1/2 movies over the last 2 days...
1- Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy
2- Sahara
3- Sin City
4- Lost in Translation

I only watched the 1st CD of Sahara..that's where the 1/2 come from..other than Sahara..i would say two thumbs up..especially Sin City..dun think it will be available in here..R Rated..but it was awesome..its an all star casting..u name it..they have it..even Quentin Tarantino was invited to direct it..it's a movie with 3 director..Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller and Quentin..how cool is that..
Last weekend, an old fren came to town..Tigana..we hang out and he mentioned about a book he bought in Times Square.." Movies you should watch before you die" or something like it...have to get that book one of these days..sorta my midlife crisis..reviving back my old hobby..watching loads of movies...i used to be a movie buff during students life..but have slowly toned down in working life..now..i guess i can revive it coz i've got my streamyx and no need to fight over the remote. In one of the list is " Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" which is a masterpiece!! I watched it while i was in PPP..incidentally anyway...can't sleep so I walk down to the TV room and there it was..huge tomatoes attacking people..it was hilarious.
So now my new life ambition is to get hold of all Akira Kurosawa's movies..One of the best director ever walk on earth..besides Francis Ford Coppola..thy Godfather franchise.I have only managed to watch " Seven Samurai" in black and white..darn..i just remembered..somebody borrowed the cd and now MIA..Seven Samurai was original..subtle..and pure enjoyment..
Lost in Translation was kinda cool with lots of Japs talking nonsense..but i still couldn't understand why she won the Oscar..maybe not my taste..or probably the Godfather had a 'chat' with the Academy people...hehehe..
Ok..in a lazy mood again to write further on the movies..so over n out
