1. I loved the first Deathstalker book so ridiculously much. Also, it's official, Finlay/Evangeline are so my OTP for this series. Aristocratic assassins with disassociative personality disorders/dysfunctional rebel clones FTW! The whole bit where Finlay is trying to figure out who he is sans clothes (because if he puts on one outfit he is an effete aristocrat and if he puts on another, he is Masked Gladiator, and then solves his existential dilemma by deciding he's the man who loves Evangeline? OMGOMGOMG). Plus, my favorite scene was their betrayed/fubar assault on the clone/esper prison of Wormboy Hell where he becomes the leader by default and Finlay and Evangeline killing things with guns and swords omgftw. The best part, however, was the part where he kept trying to shield her with his body and she finally snapped at him that she can duck for herself, thank you very much. OMG LOL OTPOTPOTP. I also love that his motivation to join the rebellion is basically - "Evangeline, you are a clone? Why didn't you tell me? Are you for clone rights and a member of the rebellion? Where do I sign up and who do I get to kill?" Plus, the stuff in Deathstalker Rebellion with the two of them - eeeek awesome - she sends him on a certain-death mission because it's for rebellion and he goes on it because it's for her! I kinda like that even though she is a (a)rebel (b) clone (c) passing as an aristocrat (d) created by her "father" to be his incestuous toy, she is the more sane one! If Finlay bought it, she'd be devastated but she'd continue to live and probably live a productive life. If he didn't have her (or the hope of her), however, he'd just probably kill himself within a day in some spectacular and messy manner. 2. I went to an Asian place to get rice crackers and they were playing the theme from Love Shuffle of all things. 3. If I see another person comment on IRIS being barely watchable while raving about the awesomeness of You're Beautiful, I will stab something. Its fans are making me loathe YAB (ughughugh moronic useless heroine and sugary plot go diaf please). 4. I am reading Untangling My Chopsticks by Victoria Abbott Riccardi and it's making me famished. And stir-crazy. I want to go on a trip! 5. Avatar trailer looks so good! 6. The fights over Kame's lack of height or other things to play kyohei in the upcoming Wallflower over on arama are pretty darn entertaining. To be fair, unlike in Korea where it seems they won't take you into acting unless you are over 6', most Japanese actors are on the short and scrawny side. In any event, since the mangaka based Kyohei on the rocker Kiyoharu, theoretically speaking, here's what a 'live' Kyohei should look like. (You have no idea how hard it is to find worksafe pics of the guy.) I think Kame will do just fine. The script, OTOH - yikes! Also, it's rather amusing as the manga is all about Sunako, the heroine, but all the arama denizens (and the drama-makers) seem to care about are the hot boys. The heroine seems immaterial. | |||

We just got back from Ninja Assassin and I cannot stop grinning. So good, you guys, so good! Is it going to win any screenplay Oscars? Hell no! But it's bloody (and bleeding) great fun of ninjas and others going at it nonstop. Also, Rain spends 3/4 of the movie bleeding and/or shirtless and what more can a fangirl want? I also loved the bit with him and ninja girl ( small spoiler ) And finally, when's the last time you saw a mainstream American action flick starring an Asian guy and a Black woman? Anyway, super super fun and I defy anyone not to get a bit hormonal, either. | |||

This reviewer bashes Ninja Assassin for little plot and too much gore. Brb, loling forever. Awww, honey, when I (and other people) go to see a movie called Ninja Assassin, we know what we want and expect to get - ninjas. assassinating. people. No more. No less. If that delivers, that is all I care about. It's like watching a horror movie and complaining about lack of meaningful romantic relationships and too much gore, or bitching about that scifi movie having too many alien spaceships, or a romantic comedy not talking about starving children in Subsaharan Africa but instead being concerned on when perky girl and emo boy hook up. That is the whole point. I am sure it's a bad movie. But I don't care in the slightest. Bring on ninjas and assassins. | |||

| Oct. 4th, 2009 @ 10:45 pm Bright Star - best movie of the year (no spoilers) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Current Mood:
I saw Bright Star today, Jane Campion's newest movie about the love between John Keats and Fanny Brawne.  busyI adore Keats and have loved him for years, since I first read him in translation in Russian and I got really fixated on him in college (When we were in London some time ago, we walked where Fanny and Keats used to live, and when we were in Rome, we were by the house by the Spanish Steps where he died). I have been anticipating this movie ever since I heard they were making it. It lived up to everything I could have ever wanted. It might be the most gorgeous movie I have ever seen - there is one shot of Fanny lying on her bed and the summer wind ruffling her dress in a wave, like a caress, which is the most perfect shot I have ever seen. It is also the most romantic movie I have ever seen - it feels like a cinematic swoon, like being inside a poem, it makes me relive how intoxicating it is to fall in love. Sometimes I wanted to look away because I felt I was intruding. It works even more so because it feels so real - all these people are people not characters - it is full of small events, small gestures, approacheable people, relatable joy and grief. And yet the movie manages the magic alchemy where I can believe that Keats is a genius and the Fanny is someone who can inspire such amazing poetry. If you like Keats or poetry in general, or romantic movies, or period movies, or even plain well-made movies, you cannot miss seeing this. Trailer: They also had a number of trailers for movies I wanted to see and the only which caught my attention the most was one for Young Victoria. It was shocking to see Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in flagrante delicto. They would have died :) But seriously - I am so intensely in love with Bright Star. And more than happy that one of my favorite poets got such a gorgeous tribute. That is how you do a movie about a writer's life-changing love affair - a pity those who made that silly Jane Austen in love movie last year did not learn that. Oh, and I have never seen either Abbie Cornish or Ben Whitshaw in anything before - but they were amazing. Everyone was. I really hope the movie, Jane Campion, and Cornish and Whitshaw get Oscar noms. | |||

I am bursting at the seams to watch Bright Star (opening next week), the movie about Keats and Fanny Brawne: From a letter Fanne Brawne wrote to Keats' sister (also named Fanny) after his death: "I am patient, resigned, very resigned. I know my Keats is happy, I know my Keats is happy, happier a thousand times than he could have been here, for Fanny, you do not, you never can know how much he has suffered. So much that I do believe, were it in my power I would not bring him back. All that grieves me now is that I was not with him, and so near it as I was. . . . he at least was never deceived about his complaint, though the Doctors were ignorant and unfeeling enough to send him to that wretched country to die, for it is now known that his recovery was impossible before he left us, and he might have died here with so many friends to soothe him and me me with him. All we have to console ourselves with is the great joy he felt that all his misfortunes were at an end." | |||

We used the rare opportunity and went to see a movie. It was District 9. UGH. For all I know, it could be a brilliant take on the human condition. But I will never know as the entire thing was filmed in neausea-inducing, fake 'lowtech', pointless and repulsive handcam with ridiculous shaking which literally turned the entire movie into a horrible, dizziness-and-nausea-inducing experience. Even shutting my eyes didn't help much and I ended up spending half of the movie outside. I would have gladly gone home but Mr. Mousie liked it. WTF is with the rage for handcams? WHY? It does not make it look more real - unless one is an unfortunate epilepsy victim or caught in the middle of an earthquake, when one looks through his/her own eyes, the world looks reasonably steady - when I look around the room or down the street it all stays still and unshakey. Nor does it imitate a hand-held camera of any time period after 1983 - I own a hand camera and guess what - they built in mechanisms specifically so it WILL stay steady. The shaky cam seems to be in existence solely for fancy filmmakers to spend a lot of money to look low-budget to prove how edgy they are. UGH. | |||

Just got back from G I Joe. bouncyGuys, I has so much fun! This thing was meant to be a loud, dumb, entertaining show on a scifi channel. How could I not like a movie that contained brainwashing mad scientists, evil lairs, Channing Tatum attempting to act (the way he looks, who cares if he can act or not - I am not in it for your talent, pretty boy), a villain with a Scottish accent, Lee Byung Hun as a hot evil ninja (who got to be all awesome with the Baronness - they were a cool evil duo - I think I will uncanon ship them), explosions every five minutes, a random Moroccan with a French accent, sexy gals in tight leather, techbabble done by models, Dennis Quaid, and a doomed OTP ( OTP spoiler ) Basically, a movie just for me! The only thing I objected to was not enough shirtlessness. I vote for a group shower scene - they can fight in it if they want, as a bonus. ETA: Here, have a little villain fun for flavor (from some premiere or other)  | |||

|---|---|---|---|
Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} crumpeteer for bringing it to my attention.(turn the volume way up) Oh. My. GUH. Ninjas! Rain on the big screen for me. I am not sure which of these two facts is making me hyper. Seriously. eeeeeeeep! My excitement knows no bounds. Baby Mousie is getting a babysitter on opening night :) In other news, I have liked Last Scandal from its opening scenes - liked it a lot. But it somehow switched into something else, a true drama hook so to speak, with the scene at the end of ep 2. Before that, it was all funny-cartoonish in a very appealing way: a slightly self-absorbed and immature star, a loud and hectic housewife etc etc. Even when it had some very serious undercurrents (the housewife has a deeply unsatisfactory life - her husband is useless, her mother in law and his family are bitches, and he's in jail ruining any family stability, and is also planning to ditch her etc) it sort of played it off with high energy hijinks and not anything deeper. Which is fine, of course. But what really got me was the scene at the end of ep 2 because it was both funny and, somehow, deeply sad. Because Houswife (sorry, I haven't yet memorized their names) has come to Star's house with the intention of sleeping with him for money. At an earlier meeting, he tried to get out of a sticky situation with her (he doesn't really want to hang out with her as her looks have gone from the time they were 19, she is married, and she can reveal his true age to the public etc etc) by telling her the reason they should never see each other again because he has still not gotten over her dumping him 20 years ago and when he sees her he just wants her and would spend all he money he has to make her his blah blah. There are worse ways to dump someone, even if his 'niceness' is also motivated by not wanting to get her mad so she'd spill his secrets to the media. But she gets really desperate - her daughter is trying to rject tuition money so as to pay the debt, her husband is in jail, she has no resorts at all. So she steels herself and comes over to Star's house and tells him she needs money, enough to bail her husband out, and then, as he sits there, literally too stunned to say anything - his mouth is moving and nothing is coming out - she drops her dress and is left in a negligee. And it's very very funny - he looks like a fish out of water, but it's also very very sad because she is clearly at the end of her rope and you see how she is steeling herself. And the contrast between them is both funny and tragic in itself - they are such an incompatible pair - she is a frizzly, decidedly uncute housewife who looks her age, and he is a hunky hunky man familiar with botox - her belief in his earlier words when she is so ostensibly out of his league (I bet he could get plenty hot and plastic 20-year-olds if he wanted) is both heartbreaking and funny. And it makes me giggle as a viewer but it also makes me want to sniffle for her. Anyway. Such a good drama. | |||

1. Oh my God. Please come true. lethargic2. I've started reading Perfect Chemistry, a YA romantic novel and lololol - it's like a kdrama come to life, I swear. We have a beautiful rich girl with a seemingly perfect family life who actually has distant overpossessive parents and a severely handicapped sister whom she tenderly nurses. And we have a sexy Latino gang member who joined the gang only to protect his family and has a tragic history. There is an evil other girl, obnoxious other guy, star-crossed lurve, motorcycles, parental disapproval, and enough hurt/comfort even the makers of Lobbyist would approve. Seriously. So a kdrama waiting to happen. | |||

1. The 1930s movies had a huge fascination with gangsters. This is lucky for me, as I love 1930s gangster flicks and have tons to choose from.  calmGangster "heroes" of these movies ran the gamut, from fascinating clever monsters (such as Cagney in Public Enemy, Edward G. Robinson in Little Caesar, and Paul Muni in Scarface) to flawed and tragic antiheroes forced into this life by the tough dead-end life (the Dead-End kids and Humphrey Bogart in Dead End, Cagney in The Roaring Twenties). Sometimes, the gangster could even come across as nobler than the "just" lawman who pursued him to the end (Manhattan Melodrama, where Clark Gable walked away with the movie as the doomed gangster Blackie who puts friendship above all and is much more of a person than his best friend and eventually Governor, played by William Powell. This one, just like The Roaring Twenties, could be remade as a kdrama). The whole "childhood friends who grow up on different sides of the law" trope so beloved by Bollywood was first done by Hollywood of the 1930s. And this long preamble is basically leading to the fact that I am about to rewatch one of the classics of this subgenre - Angels with Dirty Faces, starring Pat O'Brien and James Cagney as two childhood friends, one of whom grows up to be a tough slum Priest and the other as a gangster on the run. When they meet again, they are bound to clash.  I even found a MV for it: Yay! I might do a mini-marathon of 1930s gangster flicks and write ups on them - I have a huge fondness for Manhattan Melodrama, for example.  I also have a huge hate for William Powell's character in that - people who put abstract principles over life of a close friend are sick. He does not pardon Clark Gable's character - who is convicted for a murder he did to help Powell get his career and is sentenced to be executed - because it would be morally wrong. WTF? How I longed for Myrna Loy to stab him in the face with scissors at the end. /end rant. Hmmm, maybe I'll rewatch a bunch of early 1930s movies. I love early Joan Crawford flicks. 2. ( Side note: I love this picture from A Free Spirit ) 3. Am reading Nicolas Grimal's "A History of Ancient Egypt" - if you like histories, this is escellent (as long as you don't mind it a bit dry) - it goes reign by reign. 4. I think I will continue with Lawyers of Korea after all. It is rather funny and i can handwave the hero being a bastard to ex-wife as a misdirected way to get back at her for her coldness, especially since he seems to learn things about treating people decently along the way. | |||

 chipper Indeed. I adore Bollywood movies, as most of you know. However, I have ventured into South Indian movies (Tamil, Telugu, Malayam, Kannada etc) very rarely. In fact, I think I have only seen 4: Bombay (which was dubbed into Hindi and starred Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala); Kandukondain Kandukondain (starring now Bollywood mainstays Aishwaria Rai and Tabu); Dumm Dumm Dumm, and Nuvvostante Nenoddantana. Honestly speaking, I had no interest in watching more, even though I liked Bombay, DDD, and NN and didn't mind KK. Bollywood kept me fully occupied when I craved an Indian movie fix but also - let's be honest here, I am shallow. I want my movies to have hot men. And with the exception of rather appealing Madhavan in DDD, the Southie actors in the other three movies, not to mention random pictures I have seen of them around were anything but hot by my standards - beefy if one is being kind (and rotund if not), with a bushy mustache and a week's-worth of stubble on their chin, and not ever able to see forty again were all not my bag. But clearly, while I am sure there are plenty of Southie male stars who look like retired gym teachers, I have been looking in the wrong places and there are apparently hot guys in other Indian movie industries beside Bollywood! ( Enter for proof ) So, any recommendations for Southie movies starring Allu Arjun, Madhavan, Vikram, Prabhas, Dhanush or other hot guys? I don't care which genre they are in, but they have to have English subs and be relatively easy to find. In other news, somebody found and posted this spoilery pic from the set of My Name is Khan, starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol. ( Here it is ) (All pics taken from BollyWHAT) | |||

Today's random movie rec is Johnny Eager, a 1942 movie starring Robert Taylor, Van Heflin (he won a supporting oscar for this role) and Lana Turner. It's an excellent, if overlooked, film noir.  complacent Johnny Eager, the protagonist of the film, is a mobster recently released from prison who finds his future plans of illegal wealth stymied by a zelous, incorruptible prosecutor who can see beneath Johnny's fake-repentant facade. But the prosecutor's daughter, the young and rather naive Lisbeth, thinks Johnny has been unjustly treated by the world, has paid his debt to society etc etc etc - insert any cliche you like. It doesn't hurt that Lisbeth is attracted to Johnny - as much for his bad guy persona as for his looks. And thus, enter Johnny's cold-blooded and clever plan - to make Lisbeth fall for him and then use her to compromise her father. Why is this movie so good? Well, Taylor and Turner have yummy yummy chemistry together and the dialogue is well-written, but it's really the characters that make it stick out. Robert Taylor plays a sociopath (rather unusual as up until that point he's been playing sweet-natured lover boys) and does a wonderful job of it - Johnny is a man who cares for nobody, certainly not enough to allow it to interfere with his plans. He is ruthless and smart and even if he is a bad, bad man, I found him fun to watch and rather rooting for his amorality to win the day. Part of the fun of watching the movie is wondering if he would ever allow his human emotion - simple kindness, or gratitude, or love to surface or do they even exist for him. Van Heflin plays an alcoholic, intellectual, self-loathing friend of Johnny - probably the only friend Johnny has ever had. There is a HUGE homoerotic subtext (barely subtext) in the movie as to why he choses to stick to someone whose ways of life he finds repugnant. Rather surprising for a movie made in 1942. And Lana Turner is gorgeous as Lisbeth. She is naive and sheltered and rather carried away by romantic notions, but she is someone you like nontheless. Part of the fun of the movie is watching her selflessness (even if it's based on incorrect assumptions) chink away at Johnny's shell. My favorite scene is ( spoiler ) Anyway, go watch. Here is a youtube clip from a pivotal scene: You can find the whole movie on youtube. | |||

His head-piece was gone, his breastplate dinted, his right sleeve a rag hanging from his shoulder about a naked arm. He was splashed from head to foot with blood, and there was blood from a scalp-wound that he had taken matting his hair and mixing with the grime of powder on his face to render him unrecognizable. chipperBut from that horrible mask two vivid eyes looked out preternaturally bright, and from those eyes two tears had ploughed each a furrow through the filth of his cheeks. Can you tell this book was written just for me? You have no idea how pleasantly amused I was to see that people still make fanvids for Captain Blood. It brings back my childhood so vividly! What is Captain Blood? It's the arguably ur-pirate novel (and certainly the most famous one), written by the British swashbuckler author Rafael Sabatini. Captain Blood was Sabatini's most famous novel but he was also responsible for Scaramouche and a number of other excellent adventure novels. My favorite of them all is relatively little-known and grim Fortune's Fool, set during the Great Plague - it's characters are a tired and broke soldier of fortune who is willing to compromise even his honor for a hope of a future and an ambitious and strong-willed actress who is someone from his past. The hurt/comfort in that book is out of this world. And that was the mother of all digressions. Captain Blood follows the adventures of Peter Blood, a former mercenary who has decided to settle down and practice his initial profession - medicine. Unfortunately, it's the time of Monmouth's ill-fated rebellion against James II and while Blood has no interest in joining the rebels, he is true to his Hyppocratic oath and goes to attend an injured nobleman supporter of Monmouth when summoned. It is enough to get him arrested, summarily tried by a court and sentenced to be executed (while ironically, and predictably, the nobleman he healed gets off entirely due to connections). Luckily for Blood and some of his fellow "rebels", James II decides his Carribean colonies need some new slaves and instead of execution, Blood and others are shipped as white slaves to the islands. There Blood is sold to a sadistic, brutish Colonel Bishop - as an act of pity, Bishop's niece Arabella persuaded her uncle to buy him. If Blood was not a rebel before, he certainly becomes one after all this and concocts a plan with some of his fellow slaves to escape. And then comes a pirate attack on the town and...Well, I can't recount the whole plot but suffice it to say the novel is called Captain Blood for a reason.  I read it when I was about 13 and fell ridiculously in love. I used to reread it religiously - it had everything I didn't even yet know I would like: strong, swashbuckling heroes with issues, UST through the roof, a spirited heroine, period setting, adventures and fights, hurt/comfort, duels at dawn...Did I mention the out-of-this-world levels of UST? It's not every day the OTP starts their relationship as (niece of) master and slave...  The movie is nowhere as good but it's good entertaining fun, and Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland are totally right for the parts. Here is a MV that got me going on that tangent: You can find the novel for free (as copyright has expired) here. Apparently they are readapting the story - a new movie is slated to come out in 2011. I am going to be curious to see it even if I am afraid no movie version will live up to the one that's in my head. ( As a bonus, a ginormous picture of Errol Flynn as Peter Blood, the role that shot him from unknown to star ) | |||
