Movies and more movies

For me, watching a good movie gives me a sense of satisfaction, just like having a good meal. A good movie will need to have that impact or effect on me after watching it. There are movies I have watched and totally forgot about it the next day but there are those that teach me a few lessons and indirectly made me see the truth that is out there. Depends on whether we want to accept it or not.

An Inconvenient Truth
Everyone (especially our generation) should watch this movie. It's more to a narrative documetary. And the narrator- Al Gore. I have always been passionate about conserving the environment, protecting mother nature but I know that I have not contributed anything. Watch this movie, my friends, though many will find it uninteresting but it shows what is happening to our earth now. We might not see the consequences of our actions yet but the next generation will. Visit www.climatecrisis.net for more info. So, start now by doing our own little part- print less, use less electricity, recycle.

Protege
Good movie, great cast (Daniel Wu....can't get enough of him) and simply shows us the real world of drug addicts and drug lords. Andy Lau gave a superb performance. One part of the script caught my attention- the part where Andy Lau said that no one forces the drug addicts to take drugs and it's not his fault to be a drug lord. If the demand stops, the supplies will. So, who is to blame, the people selling drugs or the people taking it? And I do agree that the part Daniel Wu screamed like a girl when he found the body is a bit over-reacted. Read this in www.kennysia.com. Hilarious. Overall, really a good movie.

Pay it forward
A must watch. Not a big budget, hyped up movie but just a simple movie that is trying to reach out to the people. You will know the meaning of pay it forward after you have watched this movie. Haley Joel Osment gave a fantastic potrayal of a simple little boy from a broken family, trying to do something to change the world. It started as a class assignment and he came out with the idea of helping 3 people, any 3 people and hope it will be passed on from these 3 people to 9 and then to 27 people and so on. It's just a simple deed that we can do each day and pass it on to the person we help. Imagine if everyone embrace this idea. The world will be a much better place to live it. Very touching movie and I have learnt a lot from it. Special apperance from Jon Bon Jovi as well. Tried to find the VDC or DVD but it's quite an old movie so not able to get it. Wish to share this movie with everyone.

Ghostrider
Typical superhero story. I like Nicholas Cage. He can look so timid and innocent one moment and turn into a fearless superhero another moment. But his bike is supercoollll.....
