Movie buff (March 2009)

Almost end of March. I've watched a lot of films. I think if I was on a house arrest for some crimes I did, just buy me DVDs and I'll be a good boy. Continuously.

My preferred films now are something that gives impact. I really look into scripts now, and the characters in the films. I think I wanna be an actor. But based on my looks and the typical demands in Malaysia, I think I better not. I might end up being a waiter, or fishmonger in it. Not that I look down on the roll, but come on?!

One cannot watch too many films, as one will probably suffer later. Most of the movies I watched were heavyweights. Something with a lot of thoughts in it. Something that can stimulate my mind. Not that I don't watch lightweights such as romantic comedy, spoof, and whatnot. I'm a movie buff, give me anything worth watching and I'll ride them on!

I love movies, just as much as I love music, among others. But music, you can listen everywhere - driving the car, on the way to sleep, on the radio, while you are cooking, when you make love, etc. But don't watch movie while you are doing any one of those mentioned above otherwise you will:

- Hit the dividers
- Burn down your house
- Sleep on the couch
- Too many dangerous possibilities to mention

This time I will only post some (if not all - I watched one too many, I can't recall already) of the films I've watched so far this month. Plus some that I believe worth watching. But I don't think I'll review them this time. Probably just a short one. My head is still drowsy from the cough syrup.

Wait let me take a picture of the films.

Dude, Revolutionary Road was awesome pawesome man. The acting, the storyline, the plot, the script. Crazy. I almost dropped tears, among other mixed feelings.

Those films you mentioned were good too. Those were the days, and now there are more good films man. Like, FUCKING LOT. Just don't be afraid to dig for un-commercial films. Trust me.
