I’m not a Movie Critic – “Inglorious Basterds″

Sorry for the non-substantial posts (for lack of better words), but here's yet another thing I want to share with yall. If I've been doing a lot of something this summer, its probably watching movies...

Inglorious Basterds



I'm gonna cut to the chase. This was probably the best movie that I've seen this summer, right after "Funny People." I don't care how sick and twisted and graphic it was (well maybe I do) because this was 150% pure entertainment. But not for the squeamish. This was more graphic and gory than the aforementioned "District 9." Wait, so yeah, its a Quentin Tarantino movie, I would have expected that. But WAIT. The dialogue was wonderfully written, with quirky jokes, awkward jokes, and even cynicism. You'll laugh at the things that aren't supposed to be funny. Also, this movie isn't just all about killing Nazis; there are several plots that are interwoven between each other, and somehow they are all connected (Think about "Sin City", and you'll totally understand).

Rating:
I'm a sucker for interwoven plots, and even more so for plots twist. This movie had it all, awkward humor, cynicism, and sophistication. Well done Tarantino!

I’m not a Movie Critic – "District 9"

District 9



You know how everyone told you that this movie was really really good? Well, you should listen to them. This movie was crazyyyyyyy. Besides the fact that I watched it sitting in the second row, I'd warn that this movie might make you nauseous. Its captured in this documentary type dimension with the camera following the characters. So what you get is the wild, ecstatic camera motions when the scene gets intense. That's enough to make someone queasy - I'm still nauseous myself. Anyway, the movie itself is spectacular- aside from all the gore and visuals, the plot is clear and easy to follow. The CGI is amazing, the District 9 Prawns look both gross yet intriguing. The only thing about the plot that's hard to adjust to is the fact that the aliens had been on Earth for 20 years already, giving them time to get acclimated with society: at first it seemed that they had just gotten there, and their already human-like behaviors was confusing to the audience (well at least to me...)

I caught myself laughing at parts that weren't supposed to be funny. That's the sign of a GREAT, great movie.

Miss Asia America 2009!

The second part of my yesterday: Miss Asia America 2009 in SF. My friend Jane was in the pageant representing the Korean community. Recall a few posts back that I photographed her for the pageant. The photo in that post actually made it into the pageant magazine/pamphlet! WOO!
Although she did not take the crown, she did win Miss Photogenic, and I'm very proud of her. Her hard work paid off! And now she finally gets to rest hahaa. Great job, Jane!
