[ feelin’ | sniffly ]
we had our first movie nite in a while last nite at alice and marisols. asian movies have for the most part taken a bit of a dip lately (2003 was a damn good year for asian cinema)…so we’ve been substituting asian movies with your standard american fair. well, in the case of last night…love actually’s british, but its all good. for anyone whos watched movies with me enough, you’d probably start to get the impression that im a sucker for romance comedys. which um…in part is true. but hey, i dont just watch any crap romantic comedy. the thing had better be of love actually/my sassy girl quality, and have at the very least one cutie from my top 10 (or someone potentially able to break the top 10). harsh guidelines…but hey, im a very particular cinema viewer. anyhoo, its been feeling a bit like a hump week, so love actually was something to brighten the day.
SUMMER CINEMA
the summer movie seasons upon us yo…woo! so along with the upcoming ny asian film festival and the (hopefully) 2nd annual ntt film festival, summer movie releases that im considering laying down money for include:
> troy – this week | hmm…this is still up in the air actually…
> shrek 2 – may 19th | might wait a week or so after its release…
> the day after tomorrow – may 28th | i never understood emmerich-haters. what exactly are they expecting? coppola?
> the prisoner of azkaban – june 4 | premium seats premiere night yo.
> zatoichi (beat takeshi) – june 4 | thought this would be perfect for the nyaff, but it got a theatrical release instead. swish!
> the chronicles of riddick – june 11 | warrants a look
> garden state – july 30 | zach braff yo!
> avp – aug 13 | it cant be helped
> hero – aug 20 | ha…dumbass miramax. i would already have seen this at the nyaff…not to mention countless times on dvd.
> sky captain and the world of tomorrow – sept 17 | september…yesh.
I’m usually not that big into asian chicks, but Zhang Ziyi in Hero…
forget hump week…ahhh sassy girl, i suppose it’s been replaced with love actually for a while now huh? i think you need to drown your sorrows…or maybe better…sweat it out!!
i saw zaitoichi,it was pretty good but beat takeshi has done better like violent cop not to mention hana-bi
