movie impression

enterstelar:

I have no idea about the movie.  But I was not impressed by nolan's batman series and inception.  Because, his batman was not shining.  The character did not stand out, even a little bit cliche.  Inception, i thought was too complicated for it's own good.  the performance of the actors in there did not impress me as well.  While I was indecisive, I found that almost everyone went and watched the movie at Hu Yin Ah Yi's thanksgiving party. I also found out that Nolan made prestige, that one pushed me. 

Before I go, I had some vague idea what this movie was about.  I thought it would be a lot of space travel, and a lot of grandeur to beheld.  I thought plot would be minimal.  It proved to have some truth in there.  However, even so, there were quite few twists in the plot, enough to hold me for all 2 and 50 minutes without turning my eyes.  It was a sign of great movie already.  The CGI pictures was good enough to give me a sense of wonder, except in the end.  However, one of the most impressed thing were really the performance from each actors, and director's pacing.  MM was the one threading the main plot line.  It was really captivating.  He never lost sight of his purpose, as a father, as a pilot.  All the other actors, ah, jc, , mc, ca, all done the same as well.  Usually, for the big name actors like this bunch, I'd think that they gave us some old vibe from their previous movie, but not here.  Each grasped their character well.  I consider this to be part of director's success as well.  For he not only has to cast well, he only has to put them in a believable situation for each actors to sip into their characters without much of cliche. 

I am not a movie tech guy so I don't normally talk about technical jargans.  But when I was reading other people's reviews, one of them mentioned something about the pacing.  I thought it was really a good point.  For I sat there for almost 3 hours, I don't feel my butt at all.  There were many twists, but they were placed in right spots with good timing.  I think that's want pacing meant.  My butt will be the testament. 

But the movie was not without flaws.  It was towards the end.  It kept bothering me that towards the end, the fifth dimension was an easy way to link with the movie together.  I understand the concept, but I can't get the cheapness out of my mind.  The other thing was that after MM's daughter told him to go, he immediately left without too much emotion expressed.  That gave me a feeling of hollow.  I refer this moment to the Captain America, when he came back from the crash.  CA could not really let go the past and I felt he kept sulking on it.  But here, it's the total opposite, there's nothing to be sulked about.  The haste departure even made me felt a bit scare.  Granted, the only who can share the feeling was ah's character in the other planet.  And it is true that MM's character really lost all the connection with his daughter, and her relatives.  The hollow emptiness left from that departure was almost unbearable to me personally.  I just felt somehow there's an emotional void, sucked in all the rest of the previous effort.  The rest thing to do then was really like the message from the movie, look forward, don't look back? 

It was really a very good movie.  I really quite like it.

Into the wuds"

I watched that movie last Thursday with my sis and brother in law.  Or maybe it's a Friday.  Yeah, it's a Friday. 

I saw the trailer of this movie, I said it's interesting.  But my butts hurt while I was watching the movie.  It's actually was a comic alternative soup of many fairy tale.  It was a stage musical before.  There're some funny scenes, but I consider it sub par.  the music score did not really impress me somehow.   However, I do find that MS could really sing.  I don't remember seeing her sang before.  There's one music score that's extremely hilarious.  But beside these two things, nothing really stands out.  I felt shrek was way better overall.

I watched it at last.  Not particularly fond of it.  Not my cup of tea.  Jp can sing though.  the first attempt to kill the judge, the song there was marvelously done.  just marvelous.

True detective,

it's not a movie.  But it might as well be.  hbo series with heavy narration and brilliant performance from MM and WH were incredible duo.  the ending was a bit weak.  but the 3/4 of heavy narration was just awesome.  

bed late

it's late now.  I woke up this morning at 3.  I am tired.  Yet, I felt hard to go to bed.  For I felt the day is not yet finished.  I wish I could go to bed with an exalted thought. 

Work has been hard lately.  For the past two days, company wanted to push most of the gun parts out before the end of the year.  We had wrapped 48 of those skids, all by hands.  That's not counting the other company's skids.  A week before, we started to raise new racks in the expanded area for warehouse.  My coworker is the main guy, but it's still hard for me as a helper. 

I came home feeling lonely.  My mom is here, welcoming me with kind words food.  But I seemed to want more.  Something I felt empty inside.  It might be holiday depression, it usually happens. 

I wish I could play well in baseball in warehouse.  But I could not hit the ball somehow.  On the other hand, all the other people can hit the ball quite well.  I hate it, especially when michele is around.  It's a dilemma, really.  For only she wants to play baseball as bad as I do. 

Even now, I felt restless.  Something is unfinished.  And yet, go to bed I must.  I am tired.
