It’s Independence Day weekend and for those who will be staying home (like me) during the long weekend, I am recommending the films below. They are all foreign films (not if you’re Japanese or Korean). I have them as part of my tiny DVD collection. They aren’t new. They’re about at least 3 years old [...]

I can’t sleep if I didn’t write something about this film. This film is one of the two best examples (the other being the “Thank For Smoking”) to tell the world that some things cannot be controlled however one tries to because these things are designed to be that way. There is no moral ground [...]

Okay, before the night passes, let me make an entry. I won’t be commenting on a subject because I’ve realized that I’ve been onto a single subject and that’s the movies. I should get out more… Soon, that time will come [my dear once-in-a-blue-moon reader should know]. Anyway, I’ll record my day so that I [...]

Last night I saw on DVD Julie Delpy’s film “2 Days In Paris”. The film hit home. The film has so many features that I will probably miss most of them in this entry. “2 Days” is about a couple – an American and a French – who stopped over in Paris for two days [...]

The film is about the resistance of the weak against the bullies. Bob Maconel (Slater) is an employee who keeps a six shooter in his [...]

Sunday. Boredom struck me. I was in the verge of depression – I may as well have been. I tried to sleep it off, but I can’t. My eyes are being pulled inside, yet I can’t keep them closed. Thoughts are empty, yet I feel tireless. I wanted to get out and watch a movie, [...]
