match point

a romantic drama by woody allen: match point. quite enjoyable, supported by strong characters played by the actors, however i would not score it as one of the first-rate movies. at the beginning the story draws rather slowly although it's building up neatly to the climax and finalised by a good ending. but well, it's basically a story about... a love affair. and talking about an affair, it just reminds me of unfaithfull back in the year 2002, which i personally think more remarkable than this movie. ***

mutant hand

through a reference by a colleague, i finally know the artist whose beautiful work decorates my computer screen! such brilliant artworks by james wignall, an english graphic/motion designer! started with drawing silly little cartoons while he was a kid, james fell into design and has worked with some high profile clients. he said he always had a different way of looking at things since he was a young child.

life of pi

title: life of pi author: yann martel
an adventure about a 16-year-old boy who remained after the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, together with a hyena, a zebra, an orang-utan and a Royal Bengal tiger. i personally think the book was a bit too long. however with its philosophical message, this is a book that makes you think. the story has an open-minded approach about survival and faith.

aeon flux

another movie night, we went to see aeon flux, a futuristic science fiction. i'm not really a big fan of science fiction, yet this movie has incredible settings and cinematography. but guess what, i fell asleep for few minutes in the middle of the movie! i believe it was not a boring movie at all, it was just because of the couple glasses of wine i had after work and i was just really really tired, it's been such a long week for me. ***

a history of violence

a history of violence is an action-thriller movie. it is full of blood, strong violence and sex scenes. i personally think the story is a bit strange and i wasn't really satisfied with the ending. yet the 95-minute movie is still quite entertaining to watch. ***

"thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon
but something happens
don't see it coming
now you can't stop yourself
now you're out there swimming
in the deep... in the deep..."

"life keeps tumbling
your heart in circles
till you let go
till you shed your pride
and you climb to heaven
and you throw yourself off
now you're out there spinning
in the deep... in the deep...
in the deep... in the deep..."

"and now you're out there spinning
and now you're out there spinning
in the deep...
in the deep...
in the deep..."
