One of the chapter composed by Sigur Ros, and that's the tune that is playing on my players now.
It's been a week of topsy turvy that i had. Events was so busy that i am losing sleep on it. gosh...i must take a good look at the mirror once this event is over. I HAVE TO SEE HOW MUCH I'VE AGED.
And thanks to the pressure i had rite now, i hardly had the time to hit the gym and pool. Now, i am binging myself with food whenever i feel stress. Thanks to the events, i don't think i can go for Almodovar's Matador and Jet Li's Unleash. For Unleash, i will get the home video, cos the distributor has choose to screen a censored version (Boo!) even though i am elegible to watch the uncut version, which has been rated NC16. Matador, on the other hand, had an extended run for another week, but at a bad timing. They would rather have extra showtime for B Korean porn than Matador. Anyway, i supposed the ah peks do not bother how old or how new those XXX shows are rite? So long as 'those cheo bu got strip naked can liao lah.' So, why not have a long run of Matador?
Oh yeah, 2 movies that's worth watching opens in theatres this week. One of the most anticipated blockbuster Mr and Mrs Smith. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is the selling point of the film, where they are brought together by Doug Liman, the man behind Go (which i catch on Star Movies last sat) and Bourne Identity. About a boring couple who works as professional killers without letting their partners know, until their clients want them dead.
Another that is worth talking about: Eros aka Ai Shen in mandarin. Exclusively at Cine Orchard and Golden, this is a movie featuring 3 short stories by 3 directors : Wong Kar Wai, Steven Soderbergh and Michaelangelo Antonioni, who becomes the most well known directors of the world, with the style of direction and their stories. However, the film seems to flop badly, with Antonioni causing the fall of the artsfare.
Hands is the short film by Wong, with Gong Li and Chang Chen playing an extend of Wong's In the Mood for Love and 2046 (you will knwo what i am talking about if you know the background of Hands), but nothing got to relate with Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung. Chang plays Xiao Zhang, a tailor apprentice who is measuring high class hooker Miss Hua's (Gong Li in beehive hairstyle which is a to die for.) body. Miss Hua, in return, took off his clothes and slept with him. From then onwards, Xiao Zhang has been crazy over Miss Hua and he vows to made the best cheongsam for Miss Hua. Wah...this story is definitely worth dying for.
Soderbergh's Equilibrium seems to be so so after Hands comes to an end. Featuring Robert Downey Jr as a patient and Alan Arkin (who appears in Audrey Hepburne's Wait Until Dark) as a psychiatrist, the b/w short film in the background of the 50's is about a patient who told his psychiatrist that he has been having sexual fantasies with a girl, and it has been in his dreams over and over again.
Antonioni's The Dangerous Threats of Things pulls the whole movie down. It make the reviews sucks and makes Eros gotten an R21 rating. About a couple in their 40's do not have anymore love for each other. One day, the hubby met a cheo bu and have sex with her. Days later, he found out that the cheo bu becomes his wife's good friend....
The reviewer's comment: Wong is good, Soderbergh is so so, Antonioni, being the Italian movie master, comes out with a short film full of nude women, full of cheesy dialogue, bad script and bad acting. Unsurprisingly, Eros was pulled down, thanks to Antonioni.
I can't judge anything at the moment, cos i've not watched Eros yet. But i am dying to see it. I want to watch Hands.
Oh yeah, since it is screening at Golden, that reminds me of getting a tees at Golden Mile Food Complex. Sigh...no time to go leh...
