2008 Review

I just list the music i bought this year.

1. White Williams - Smoke


Uplifting beat. Interesting Cover.

2. These New Puritans - Beat Pyramid

I only bought LP Record. Of course because Heidi Simone... i wonder he will like Tom Ford... waiting for his own fashion release... Back to music, their music is full of code that their fans want to decode them ...

3. My Brightest Diamond - A Thousand Shark's Teeth

She chooses a right name: sings like diamond...

4.The Notwist - The Devil, You + Me
First heard of this band from the film The Edukators. (Actually, as i remember, i have not heard this tunes in the movie...).

5.Shiina Ringo - Watashi to Hoden
Her first collection of b-sides. Shows her ability to handle different music style and her preference thruought the year.

6.Noah and the Whale Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down Best to hear with your partner, or with yourself...

7. V/A: Perfect As Cats: a tribute to The CureOnly track one is the best ...

Dark Knight

No puedo imaginar cómo puedo vivir en ese mundo ... me siento afortunado de que vivo en esa segura ciudad. sin esperanza, todo se convierte en un desastre.

Comercial película debe traer algunas esperanzas al público. una escena que es alrededor de dos buques. un buque cargar los ciudadanos; otro lleva las cárceles. joker órdenes a volar otro buque con el fin de sobrevivir. finalmente ninguno buques de ellos explotar. "hay largo noche antes del amanecer"... es muy difícil esperar.

Time Stood Still ...

After seeing Wall E. I like the songs in the movie.



The song is put in the opening of the film, also throughout the film. The galaxy scene really fit the song...



Even robot needs LOVE...


As i'm learning spanish... I would like to practice my writing... hope you guys don't mind...

la película presenta buena imagen de futuro. buena relación entre humanos y robot. todos los seres humanos son inocentes. Me siento tan optimista para el futuro!

Be Kind Be Rewind

My wise kid younger brother said, "The boxing box may not be promising at the beginning, but word of mouth works. I think more people would like to see this film."

My friend once said he would like to watch but he doesn't like Jack Black very much. that's true. Black seems spoiled the film, he acts so exaggerated.

I haven't seem audience laugh so much in other movies i saw before. this is the first time i laugh with almost all audience nearby. You can't have those experience at home. so please treasure and rush to cinema, watch this film.

After seeing the film, you can log on to their official site and enjoy those "remake".

Lagerfeld Confidential

Now HKIFF seems went more commercial. Most of the films they chose are so gimmick. Like these one.

When I arrived, most audience wear trendy clothes. They wanted the film can nourish their mind to become more fashionable. However, these film does not teach you how to wear clothes, but a way of living who under a spotlight.


Karl Lagerfeld who is the mastermind of chanel and Fendi. Living in a way that many people admire. In this film, he tells you "Fashion is not the way most people think". In the film there is a number of his interesting quotes like "if you feel uncomfortable with injustice, don't went into fashion industry"; "i hate people who cannot be alone" ... after viewing the film, you have to convinced yourself that some elements maybe created by the directer himself.

Outside the venue, Chanel's mobile art exhibition is just held nearby. such a coincidence ... under the control of Lord Lagerfeld ...

The Tracey Fragments

Some of viewers chose this film is because of her another film "Juno" so do I. Those Mondrian multi-frame compositions and soundtracks by broken Social Scene makes the film more stylish.

Very normal plot: Tracey Berkowitz ("Tracey Berkowitz, 15. Just like a normal girl who hate herself. ") has unhappy school and family life. One day her brother Sonny gone missing. And she started a journey finding his brother.

The film does not went in order, it progresses with Tracey's monologue. During Tracey speaks something, another frame on the shows us that scene. Those flashing frame gives us a whole picture of Tracey's life.


I am not say it is a masterpiece, though. I enjoy viewing it. The soundtracks are so cool. The music lead me to the mind of Tracey. And remind me those day when I was young...

Cassandra's Dream

The reason i watch this film is Woody's previous one "Scoop", which lol to me. A chemistry is made between Woody and Scarlett Johansson. Scarlett's acting appeals me. Then I expect Woody's next film continue this kind of style ...

But out of my expectation, he tell story very seriously, with sad ending. This film is similar to his film "Match Point": making a fortune. What makes me sad is, in the film always stresses that America dream. You are just nothing if you stay in England... Poor ... Well, it is correct as the two main characters (Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell) now mainly starring in Hollywood films.

Cassandra's Dream, Scoop and Match Point can be treated as Woody's England trilogy. Gotta watch them at the same time.
