Monday Movie Review - The Book Of Eli

Tonight we had 'The Book of ELI' played on our DVDs. Just by coincidence that its Monday so I made it my Monday Movie Review..

Actually this is the second attempt in watching, first attempt ended up with a shuteye, well I'm a romantic-drama-comedy lovers. But, after being convinced by the lovely hubby of mine, I decided to give a second shot.
So I like it...i guess everyone knows Denzel's quality, Gary Oldman (Carnegie) and Mila Kunis (she played Solara).. she's a beauty... I also like the story, only hates the post apocalyptic setting...
Well, despite of the shooting, killing and all the violent shown, it tells one thing for sure (at least for me) that when God had a plan even if it looks impossible it'll miraculously be done... and no man upon this earth will ever blew it no matter how hard he try. I'll include this movie as one of my favourite....for an 1 to 10 scale, its 8 for me....

..ObLivioUs...

One of the series around 80's-90's that I remember because of the ridiculous hair ... haha thats what I think back then... and still... Not trying to cheapen the movie, I like this movie too (but not one of my favorite).. Just cant stand the hair..
So, today I found this picture while blog browsing... And just realize now... that not only the hair is ridiculous ... the.. hmm..whatever you want to call it, I prefer body shape, is also ultra- goofy...

I've grown and I see things differently, this outfit makes me laugh when I see it the first time again ... I just cant take my eyes from the hip..
okay.. so they are an alienated human, but whats with the lines on their hip?.. is it a detachable costumes... and for Wilykit and Wilikat... please..., cud somebody put some clothes on them... If I had a 4 or 5 year old, I probably wouldn't let them to watch this movie.. cant stand if they try to imitate them.. LOL..
But, when I try to google the image.. this is what I found

Yaayy... the whole family heroes with clothes...
but they're not originally comes in clothes right?... they look like the first picture when they come right? I forgot... how come... goodness gracious!!

I think I need to take one of these... for my memory enhancer... gosh I'm getting O L D... a bit shame to say that...

The Blind Side

So, last night I was just finished watching The Blind Side and the clock shows 1203 AM. Well I have to wait for my two angels to fall asleep to be able to enjoy the entire movie completely uninterrupted. And now I just cant wait to start blogging and spoil it out.

The movie tells about a boy named Michael Oher who had bad experience separated from his mother that makes him traumatized. He grew up from foster care to another and ended up beeing homeless. He barely speak. One day he met Leigh Ann Touhy and this is where they finally made changes to each other lifes. Finally, Michael become All American football player.

The Movie is based on a remarkable true story which is uplifting and heartwarming. I'm so much impressed by the determination of Leigh Ann in helping Michael. I know that her life is also changed by him, but there are stump and obstacles that got in the way that could have made anyone to just stop. But not Leigh Ann. This movie also shows how family support is so important. Her husband and even her kids support her in every decision. I love everything about this movie, the casts, the story, and even the song "Chances" by Five for Fighting.

HACHIKO

Last week I watch this movie and cry half of the movie till its over for it so touching. The story is about a college professor meets this abandoned dog and they finally form an unbreakable bond. The dog arrives daily at the correct time at the station, to meet his owner. One day the professor died because of a a stroke while giving his lecture at the universtity and never came back to the train station, the dog keep waiting for his master for nearly a decade. The owner was played by Richard Gere and Joan Allen as his wife.

This movie is based on a true story of a Akita breed dog from Japan who waited for his master Hidesabure Ueno for nearly a decade after his owners dead. He waits everyday in front of the Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo. And he finally became famous in Tokyo for one of the professor student wrote an article about this dog and published it in the newspaper. Most of the people in Japan and I believe everyone who watched this movie will be touched by his loyalty and faithfulness. They made a bronze statue for Hachiko in front of the Shibuya Train Station and Hachiko him self was present at the opening ceremonial. And on March 8, each year, hundreds of dog lovers would held a solemn ceremony of remembrance at the train station.


As for me, the story of Hachiko reminds me of a spirit of a family. It amazed me on how a dog can be so devoted and never stop believing that his master will came back, even though he never knew when. He just never stop waiting. I even asks my 7 year old to watch this movie for an example of faith and loyalty towards someone we really care and love. As for your who haven't watched this movie and wud like to see it, i suggest you to bring a long a pack of tissue with you...
