Mini Movie Marathon!

MMM!

haha ok not exactly a movie marathon since it wasn't even consecutive...but yea watched quite a few films off youtube during the exam period up till now. Was watching 드림하이 2 dream high 2 too but stopped at episode 10 cuz they left it hanging at a potential JB-Rian reunion scene and I liked that. Dun like Hyesung...the actors and actresses who plays the parts are very important. I find Kang Sora too old-looking. Only after googling did I realise that she's actually of the same age as me =-= while the rest of the cast are still so young. Or maybe the fact that she was Leeteuk's "wife" on WGM, made me think that she must be born in the 1980s cuz if the memorisation of the members' birth years (when I was still young and crazy and suju was still producing half-decent songs has paid off), Leeteuk is the oldest and was born in 1983. N she is/was fat, the fat ard her cheeks are not disappearing n no it doesn't give her the cute appeal cuz of her frigging fat lips. Rmb seeing her on an advertisement in Korea and she hadn't slimmed down then and was looking quite, just not nice. Anw just dun lik her as a whole, I think her character makes her very irritating too, so I'm picking on her hahaha on the other hand, I like Jiyeon and I think she's doing a great job with her acting. Despite her supposedly being the "bad" guy, I see how she is actually suffering inside. N i dun like JB nor his acting, so I am very hating on the JB-Hyesung couple. I mean, their lovey dovey scenes are 100% cringeworthy while JB-Rian couple has some cute times together =) And I think this has to do with the age gap, like JB is 1994 if I remember correctly and Jiyeon is 1993. Sora is 1990 so quite 姐弟恋 feel exuding from their scenes. Arghs. I like Jinwoon so I'm also digging the Yoojin-Rian couple~ Anw so after exams ended and work started, I began dream high 2 again and well, I still like dream high 1 better. This second season has left me wondering about many aspects of the whole drama, its not as well executed as the first. And the lead was good in singing that time k, i.e. Kim Soo Hyun. When I thought he isn't a singer, totally blew me away. Plus his acting was really 최고 like really left me crying at parts. This Dream High 2, pfft. Not even close. I get sad at Rian's part if anything but I don't feel sad for JB nor Hyesung.

OK BACK TO MAIN POINT...so the movies I watched are:::

Starstruck

You are the apple of my eye aka 那些年，我們一起追的女孩

Scary Movie 3

Panic Room

Mysterious Skin

Our Idiot Brother

And during the exams, I did watch "Speak" and perhaps others which I have forgotten oops haha ok quick movie reviews here cuz I left my Dream High 2 episode hanging and I have to catch The Secret Circle later, which by the way, is pretty nice.

Starstruck

It's some Disney movie, expected it to be cringeworthy, but the acting was pretty ok. Just found the guy's smile highly disturbing. No idea why though. Very cliche story line. Famous star falling in love with ordinary girl, while trying to hide from paparazzi and still try to be true to himself.

3.0/5.0

You are the apple of my eye

Been wanting to watch it since I was in Korea but never got to it. It was pretty good. Read online that there were 18+ scenes or something, got rating de I think but well, I think the one I watched is cut version liaoz, v clean ah. And it doesn't even destroy the storyline or what by deleting some scenes. So yea, sometimes I don't get why directors wanna put in weird scenes or put in lotsa vulgarities just to get a 16+/18+ rating slapped across their poster and reduce their profits =-= but it was nice overall, the flow of the movie was good the plot is also good,but sad that the girl actually liked him before de, why never just tell him!!! when they set the kong ming deng off...haiz. But I wonder how the full story came out after all these years, did that friend of hers like tell him? And I wonder exactly how much of the movie is the truth as in exactly what it is. I know I know, there are reports where he said that some parts exaggerated like the quarreling in the rain VS over the phone, but like the wedding's kiss (no spoilers), did it really happen? If it did, eww.

4.0/5.0

Scary Movie 3

erm. a very no-need-use-brain movie. Best for watching when it's one of those lazy days and you very sian to watch any deep-meaning movies that you cannot understand. And hell it's always so obscene =-= but some parts not as funny too =(

1.0/5.0

Panic Room

The plot quite simple I guess haha and I like the bloooooodddddd and I get the good guy stuck in a bad guy role as played by Forest Whitaker but I don't really get the purpose of the story...but the acting was all good. Love Jodie Foster man, and it's refreshing to see Kirsten Stewart in a tomboyish role heh

3.0/5.0

Mysterious Skin

The main actors were both pretty young at that time and so I didn't really expect the kind of acting I saw. If I were to compare the two, Brady Corbert did an even better job than Joseph Gordon-Levitt for certain parts or maybe it was just the role I guess but really, both did a great job. And it was VERY VERY HIGHLY EXTREMELY disturbing at parts. N the comments on that youtube page agree with me too...most agreed that it was disturbing but a must-watch. I will never think of fruity loops or cereal in general in the same way again zomg.

4.5/5.0!!!

Our Idiot Brother

It was just ok-ok. The kind of movie you wouldn't have anything good or bad to say about. Like some parts yea he really sounded super honest yet stupid and yet I'm suspecting that he may actually realise its an idiotic thing to do but like just do it out of spite or sarcasm. The sisters' different personalities are quite vibrant haha all so different...n yea moral of the story is family matters most? cuz i dont think its advocating ppl to be awfully honest as it doesn't get u anywhere.

3.0/5.0

Speak

This one had Kirsten Stewart too. Her character was supposed to have been raped and thus decided to stop talking all together when people accuse of her being attention-seeking and calling the police to a party when actually she was just a victim. But in the movie, she doesn't really stop speaking totally or anything and I felt that the synopsis I read on wiki did a much better job and perhaps made him have too high expectations.

3.0/5.0

ok end here. back to drama.
